I having some trouble to understand something related to the API of youtube
So my code is basically very simple:
name = input("enter the username: ")
key = "MY API KEY"
data = urllib.request.urlopen("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?
part=statistics&forUsername="+name+"&key="+key).read()
subs = json.loads(data)["items"][0]["statistics"]["subscriberCount"]
print(name + " has " + "{:,d}".format(int(subs)) + " subscribers!🎉")
just yelling the number of subscribers after giving specific YouTube Username:
The thing is that some Usernames(for example: Vsuase/Veritasium/Unbox Therapy ) which have many subs and the API-URL giving me wrong Data
Vsause - in return giving me back 72 subs
Veritasium/Unbox Therapy - not giving my any number at all
BUT, a channel "Computerphile" giving me that exact same subs they have.
How come that few Usernames work and few do not??
I tested in both, using the try-it functionality available in the YouTube Data API - Official Documentation and in the Google API Explorer and in both sites the results are closely1 similar.
For example, when the statistics of the YouTube user vsauce is requested vÃa YouTube API, the value in subscriberCount is 14220819 and checking his YouTube channel it says: 14,220,825.
Here is the example for request the statistics of the YouTube user vsauce (using the try-it)
And here is the demo for request the statistics of the YouTube user vsauce (using the Google API Explorer).
I didn't see any differences in the values in subscriberCount by requesting the other channels you mentioned in your question.
1 You need consider that some channels has more changes in the quantity of subscribers than others and such results vary too in the responses of the API.
For some reason, if you change in the URL from forUsernae= --> id=
it gives you the correct numbers.

I am trying to retrieve a ggmap background map using get_map() in R but I keep getting an error message "HTTP 400 Bad Request The Google Maps Platform server rejected your request. The provided API key is invalid.".
Examples:
BA <- get_map("Buenos Aires, Argentina", source = "stamen", maptype = "toner-lite", zoom = 11)
spainmap<- ggmap(get_googlemap(center = c(lon = -3.703790, lat = 40.416775), zoom = 10, maptype = 'terrain', color = 'color'))
I know that every user must have a valid google API key, I´ve created a billing account and my key is definitely valid. I´ve also enabled all the APIs, including Geocoding, Geolocation, Maps Embed and Maps Static since others suggested this.
I´ve reinstalled the latest version of R and Rstudio, restarted R session multiple times but nothing seems to work.
According to this website https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/maps-static/error-messages I´m getting the error because some required parameter is either missing or is invalid, but I really don´t think that´s the case since I´ve tried to get maps in different locations and using various ggmap functions but nothing works.
How do I fix this? Has anyone else had this problem?
I wish to retrieve a Workday worker (aka employee) web profile URL via the Workday API. The use case is that I'm building a chatbot to retrieve user information and I want to be able to deep link to the worker (employee) web profile.
The issue is that I cannot do either of the following:
get a web profile URL from the API
create a web profile URL from data in the API
A web profile URL looks like the following. The userId looks like 1234 right before the .htmld extension as that is the only number that changes between employee profiles.
https://www.myworkday.com/{myCompany}/d/inst/1$715/247${1234}.htmld
A search URL in the webUI returns a slightly different URL but has the same numerical userId at the end, e.g. the 1234 before .htmld here:
https://www.myworkday.com/{myCompany}/d/inst/autocompletesearch/247${1234}.htmld
A worker API call is like the following with a 32 byte hexadecimal workerId like deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef. Searching for the API workerId in the web UI returns no results.
https://services1.myworkday.com/ccx/api/api/v1/{myCompany}/workers/{workerId}
The API result does not have the web profile userId, e.g. 1234, any where in it, or a URL that can render a web page.
{
"id":"deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef",
"descriptor":"Joe Cool",
"href":"https://services1.myworkday.com/ccx/api/api/v1/{myCompany}/workers/deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef",
"supervisoryOrganizationsManaged":"https://services1.myworkday.com/ccx/api/api/v1/{myCompany}/workers/deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef/supervisoryOrganizationsManaged",
"yearsOfService":"1",
"primaryWorkEmail":"joe.cool#example.com",
"isManager":false,
"location":{
"descriptor":"Santa Rosa, California",
"id":"deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef"
},
"primarySupervisoryOrganization":{
"descriptor":"Peanuts (Charles 'Sparky' Schulz)",
"id":"deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef",
"href":"https://services1.myworkday.com/ccx/api/api/v1/{myCompany}/supervisoryOrganizations/deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef"
},
"businessTitle":"beagle"
}
Can anyone help provide info on how to get a web profile URL from the Workday API?
The ID returned from workday's API is actually the Workday ID, not Worker ID. The Workday ID or WID is a direct reference to any object in Workday. This is often referred to as an "Integration ID". Workday doesn't document this very well, but workday's URLs do have an interesting thing you can take advantage of for deep linking to any Workday Object:
https://www.myworkday.com/{myCompany}/d/inst/{sourceReferenceWID}/{WID}.htmld
As long as you have the Workday ID (WID) of an object, you can deeplink directly. The sourceReferenceWID is just for logging purposes, so you can enter any text you want. I tested this in my own tenant with the text "deeplink" replacing {sourceReferenceWID} just for fun. For your example, the following URL should work for Joe Cool:
https://www.myworkday.com/{myCompany}/d/inst/deeplink/deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef.htmld
This is not officially documented, so Workday may change how this works and your mileage may vary.
It's not a delivered REST API, but you could create a RaaS with the Business Object "Worker from Prompt". There is a field called "Worker Instance URL". When you call the endpoint, you can use the WID (Workday ID), the Employee_ID, or Contingent_Worker_ID for the filter.
https://wd2-impl-services1.workday.com/ccx/service/customreport2/{tenant}/{report owner}/{report name}?Worker!WID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
or

I am creating the application which need to track all tweets from user who registered to my application, i tried to track those with streaming API , there are public API, user API , and site API,
in those API it just have an option to follow the user ID by add the comma separated user ID
https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/overview/request-parameters#follow
but i think it is not flexible, if there are a new user registered , i need to rebuild the HTTP request , and also if there are so many users try to listen this stream and query will be so long,
it will be
https://stream.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/filter.json?follow=[user1],[user2],[user3]........[userN],
i afraid the query wont fit, i just need a parameter to filter all user who registered in my application such as, for example.
https://stream.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/filter.json?application=[applicationID]
but i think twitter dev does not provide it
so, is there any way to filter stream by application ID?
I didn't see anything like tracking by application id. If your query become too complex (too many follows/keywords), public streaming api will reject it,
and you can't open more than 2 connections with user stream. So, last solution is using Site Stream, -> you can open as many user connections as you have users registered to your app.
BUT the docs says :
"Site Streams is currently in a closed beta. Applications are no
longer being accepted."
Contact twitter to be sure
Arstechnica has a very interesting article about it. Take a look at this code and the link in the end of this post
If you are using python pycurl will do the job. Its provides a way to execute a function for every little piece of data received.
import pycurl, json
STREAM_URL = "http://chirpstream.twitter.com/2b/user.json"
USER = "YOUR_USERNAME"
PASS = "XXXXXXXXX"
userlist = ['user1',...,'userN']
def on_receive(self, data):
self.buffer += data
if data.endswith("rn") and self.buffer.strip():
content = json.loads(self.buffer)
self.buffer = ""
if "text" in content and content['user'] in userlist:
#do stuff
conn = pycurl.Curl()
conn.setopt(pycurl.USERPWD, "%s:%s" % (USER, PASS))
conn.setopt(pycurl.URL, STREAM_URL)
conn.setopt(pycurl.WRITEFUNCTION, on_receive)
conn.perform()

I am working with the Yodlee services in c# and using the RESTful api. So far I have successfully connected and logged in with my CobrandSession and UserSessionToken in the development environment. I used the sample apps provided in c# and with some advice from shreyans i got an app working. What I got working was
1) Get YodleeAuthentication
2) Get UserAuthentication
3) Get ItemSummaries
I am now trying to get the full transaction details for each of the Items (i.e. collections of accounts that are an Item)
reading the Docs here https://developer.yodlee.com/Indy_FinApp/Aggregation_Services_Guide/REST_API_Reference/executeUserSearchRequest it states that I need to call executeUserSearchRequest and then paginate through the results using the getUserTransactions. So I am stuck at this point. I dont really want a search which has parameters I just want ALL transactions for this account that I can see.
However, I am using the variables as defined in that page :-
var request = new RestRequest("/jsonsdk/TransactionSearchService/executeUserSearchRequest", Method.POST);
request.AddParameter("cobSessionToken", param.CobSessionToken);
request.AddParameter("userSessionToken", param.UserSessionToken);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.containerType", param.ContainerType);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.higherFetchLimit", param.HigherFetchLimit);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.lowerFetchLimit", param.LowerFetchLimit);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.resultRange.endNumber", param.EndNumber);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.resultRange.startNumber", param.StartNumber);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.currencyCode", param.CurrencyCode);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.postDateRange.fromDate", param.FromDate);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.postDateRange.toDate", param.ToDate);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.transactionSplitType.splitType", param.SplitType);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.ignoreUserInput", param.IgnoreUserInput);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.itemAcctId", param.ItemAcctId);
var response = RestClientUtil.GetBase().Execute(request);
var content = response.Content;
return new YodleeServiceResultDto(content);
As per the response from shreyans in this posting Getting Error "Any one of [**] of transactionSearchFilter cannot be NULL OR Invalid Values I am not putting in the ClientId and the ClientName
The documentation doesn't specify the format of the dates but the example seems to tell me that its american date format. And specifies a parameter saying IgnoreUserinput, but doesnt have a parameter for user input so this is confusing
When I make a call using this format I get an error response
var getSearchResult = yodleeExecuteUserSearchRequest.Go(yodleeExecuteUserSearchRequestDto);
getSearchResult.Result="
{"errorOccured":"true","exceptionType":"Exception Occured","refrenceCode":"_60ecb1d7-a4c4-4914-b3cd-49182518ca5d"}"
But I get no error message in this and I have no idea what I have done wrong or where to look up this error, can somebody who has used Yodlee REST Api point me in the right direction as I need to get this researched quickly....
thanks your your help, advice, corrections and pointers....

Using the Google Checkout XML API, is it possible to connect an order you send to Google Checkout to an order Google Checkout notifies you about?
Right now, I can send an order to Google Checkout, and I can get notifications from Google that an order went through. But I don't see how to connect the two. I need this to connect orders to user accounts.
Send over an explicit order number with your data to Google. This is some test code I wrote that does just this
CheckoutShoppingCartRequest Req = checkoutButton.CreateRequest();
Req.AddItem(product.Name, product.ShortDescription, OrderID, product.Price, 1);
GCheckoutResponse Resp = Req.Send();
if (Resp.IsGood)
{
}
else
{
}
Generally, you can use the merchant-private-data field to pass any custom data about your order.
When you get back the notification, read the custom info from the merchant-private-data field.
