I'm trying to access this API https://api.fixer.io/latest?base=USD but I have noticed that, it showing only 31 countries currency and I want all.
I googled it but doesn't getting any answer for this API.
Below is the response :
{"base":"USD","date":"2017-06-23","rates":{"AUD":1.3214,"BGN":1.7505,"BRL":3.3378,"CAD":1.3231,"CHF":0.97118,"CNY":6.8391,"CZK":23.536,"DKK":6.6564,"GBP":0.78587,"HKD":7.7998,"HRK":6.6258,"HUF":276.68,"IDR":13305.0,"ILS":3.5418,"INR":64.532,"JPY":111.3,"KRW":1137.7,"MXN":18.045,"MYR":4.288,"NOK":8.468,"NZD":1.3734,"PHP":50.226,"PLN":3.7877,"RON":4.0916,"RUB":59.669,"SEK":8.7443,"SGD":1.3869,"THB":33.945,"TRY":3.5116,"ZAR":12.936,"EUR":0.89501}}
I have made a currency converter app using that API and I don't know about any better resource for that.
I think it provides limited currencies because fixer gets it's data from European central bank, which only provides those particular currencies.

I've already tested the Flight Inspiration Search on test mode and worked fine with the restricted data, so I've decided to move to live with the API. Anyway, it looks like I'm still getting restricted data, because I've got errors (code 500 - not supported origin and destination) for airports like JFK, LTN, etc.
I've changed the base URL and the credentials, so it should retrieve the proper data. Do you have any suggestions for this?
The Flight Inspiration Search API is built on top of a pre-computed cache this is why, even in production, you don't return all possible options. The API computes every day the most trending options based on past searches and bookings and fills the cache, which means that the cache is dynamic. That's why you don't return anything with your defined criteria.
For real-time data you should use the Flight Offers Search API.
I made a Ticketmaster developer account and I would like to pull listing price data for specific events. I am able to retrieve this type of listing data for specific events using Stubhub's API, but looking through Ticketmaster's API documentation, I don't see any specific API requests that will return listing data, such as section, row and listing_price.
Am I missing something, or is it not possible to retrieve this type of listing data using Ticketmaster's API?
For anyone who stumbles upon this in the future, TicketMaster does offer this functionality through their availability endpoint. However you have to be a TM nexus partner to use it, and getting approved as a partner depends on what your business/software does and income etc...
This is more of a general programming question.
I'm trying to create an app, think of it as a Yelp clone. I have most of it working but I'm missing one important feature. The data of the places around me. For now I'm only focused on food, so I'd like it if I search something like "Pizza", it'd show me all the pizza joints near me.
I was originally planning to use Google Places API. However if you havent heard, they're changing their pricing and lowering the free tier and upping the cost by a huge margin.
There's also the problem of saving the data. One workaround I saw a user suggest was to just keep using Google's API, but every time you make the query, store the data in your own DB as well (I only need address and name and latitude and longitude) so eventually, you'd have what you need in a sense. However I also want to have something like a simple rating system for each place like Yelp, but Google (and all other places like MapBox, Here Maps, etc) states something along the lines of "info from their API should not be stored or cached for more than 24hrs" but it's very broad and not specific.
So what I was planning to do was, call the Google API, grab the 3 info I need (Address, Name, Lat/Lng), add more fields to store the rating, likes, whatever else the user will add. Then store it in my database, but that doesn't seem like a solution now.
So does anyone have any ideas or advice? Or know of a service where I can get the details of all the food places? And if possible, can anyone confirm that storing the Name, Address, Lat&Lng is a violation of their policy since in my eyes, it's public data, but something like the rating that Google provides, or the pictures that Google provides, now that's Google property.
For obtaining places you can use OpenStreetMap, e.g. using Overpass API. Since larger traffic can be expected you should run your own database(s) instead of using the public APIs.
However OSM doesn't contain ratings. So you have to combine this data with some other publicly available rating system.
Has anyone used Commission Junction's Product Catalog Search API for searching/fetching local deals? (BuyWithMe and KGBDeals post their deals to CJ)
There is a Yipit clone out there which uses this API. This clone was unable to categorize deals properly based on location. I was supposed to fix this issue. The problem I saw is: API's response does not contain location/city info. Therefore, deals cannot be categorized based on cities. This basically kills the purpose of local deals.
I am looking for advice from anyone who has done similar work using CJ API. May be I am missing something.
OneBigPlanet has an All-In-One API filled with all affiliate networks and daily deal providers for U.S & Canada
If you are going to use a deal aggregator API for your site/blog, you may want to take a look at this one as well.
SideBuy has recently released its version 1 API which lets the user (like yourself) connect to its comprehensive set of daily deals using several parameters to fully customize the listings. I suggest you check it out and get in touch in SideBuy's site if you need further assistance.

I have been looking for a while at how to retrieve financial quotes in c#, in this case, Canadian mutual funds.
It seems there are 2 main sources of information for this, Yahoo and Google! Also there seems to be 2 preferred methods, API and HTML scrapping. My preference would be for an API method, but I am open to any suggestion.
I have found the Yahoo api to be very nice to use, however although it works for stocks like "MSFT" it fails to retrieve the data for mutual funds like "RBCCANADIANI.TO". For some reason this symbol only works on the web site itself.
Google's API seems to requires to have a portfolio set up and login in order to retrieve quotes, I would prefer to avoid logins and use a completly opened api if possible.
HTML scraping introduce a totally new set of complications, asking the user to locate on an html page where the price is and such. Note that Google's html (http://www.google.com/finance?q=MUTF_CA:RBF556) returns the right page, but a look at the html source shows that the price is not in an easily identifiable tag (id not set!).
Has anybody tried similar things, I have the feeling I am missing something here :)
Many thanks
I am having success with the following YQL query:
select LastTradePriceOnly from yahoo.finance.quotes where symbol in ("F0CAN05NGC.TO")
This is for Royal Global Precious Metals fund.
Mutual funds have a LastTradePriceOnly field but no Bid field like stocks have. I got the symbol from the Symbol Lookup on the Yahoo finance page.
If you are looking for pricing data I would suggest a service like IQFeed. I have used them as a client for some time and they do have mutual fund data (although I don't use it). If you don't want to pay for it you will probably have to scrape it.
