How to get description for Google API nearbysearch items - api

I am developing a web app for client requirement in that i am using Google API for finding nearby place
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=.....
I was able to get all the required details. Name, rating, etc but only description is missing. will i be able to get it from anywhere, i tried
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=...
but not getting required result only country or place is getting here not restaurant or venue description. Please help me to get details for each item in nearby search result. Or any other suggestions

Based on the documentation of both Google Places API Nearby Search Requests and Google Places API Text Search Requests, description property is not included in the returned results. You could rather file for a Feature Request to include description to each returned places in the results here at Google Public Issue Tracker.
Issue Tracker is a tool used internally at Google to track bugs and
feature requests during product development. It is available outside
of Google for use by external public and partner users who need to
collaborate with Google teams on specific projects.
You can learn more about Issue Tracker through this link.
I would also like to suggest to read Google Places API Place Details. It returns more comprehensive information about the indicated place such as its complete address, phone number, user rating and reviews.
Hope this help!

Google People API: Get contact by a specific group

I am migrating our code from Google Contacts API to Google People API as Google Contacts API will be deprecated soon, but I noticed new People APIs are simple to compare with the old Contacts API.
How I can find a contact for a specific group?
f.e. getContactByGroupId
Answer:
Assuming that you meant getContactGroupById instead of getContactByGroupId, you can retrieve a specific contact group in People API by calling:
contactGroups.get
Further info:
In this case, you have to provide the resourceName instead of the contact id. If you don't know how to get the former, consider taking a look at this answer.
If you are using Apps Script, you can enable the Advanced People Service and do something like this:
People.ContactGroups.get(resourceName);

Get Page Views via Hubspot API

My Data Science team is trying to pull Hubspot info into their data visualization platform via Hubspot's API.
They're telling me that they can't find the information fora contact's pageview anywhere. I've searched the documentation for the API, contacted Hubspot Support (who told me they can't help with the API), and spent hours googling but I can't find any information on this.
Does the API simply not provide that information? I know it's collected, because I can see page views in a specific contact's timeline...so why can't I access it via API?
Has anyone overcome this challenge in the past or does anyone have any advice?
I should mention that I'm about 10% literate when it comes to anything code related...so I could just be missing something.
Assuming you are using PHP in your API, then you should be able to find the number of page views here:
$objHubSpot->properties->hs_analytics_num_page_views->value
(where $objHubSpot is the name of the HubSpot object returned through API)
If you want to know the actual URL of the visited pages, then keep in mind that HubSpot only keeps a record of the last few URLs.

Listing the authors of a web site according to Google?

Google allows to its users to list which web sites the contribute to. If the web-site also links to the G+ profile of the person with ?rel=authors then Google can show the avatar of the person on Google search results. See further explanations.
Is there a way to get the list of people who added a web site to their "contribute to" list?
A manual search on Google or an API?
The People.search REST API method does not appear to support searching data from the contributor fields. You can try it yourself here. The data is exposed in the response from the People.get method, but is not apparently part of the full text search.

Automatically get the developer contact details from search API

Is it possible to automatically get the contact details (say an email) from the developers data that is returned by the Apple API
http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api.html
in obj-c ?
That information is not available from the API.
What you can get using the search or lookup is the seller URL.
The Enterprise Partner Feed does include support URL information if you wanted to try and use that.

Getting a total number of checkins for a Yelp venue via API

I guess the title is quite self-describing.
Is there a way to determine the total count of check-ins that a Yelp business has using their API?
I don't seem to be able to find it in their API docs, and the actual API responses don't give any hints either.
Not currently, no. The full public API is documented at http://www.yelp.com/developers/documentation - if you don't see a field listed in the available fields there, it's not available for public consumption.
