Is there a way to query the spotify API in order to get information about a track/artist/album/playlist based on its name.
E.g. query for track=I need a hero&artistName=... and get a URI/ID and some information about the track.
I couldn't find anything like this in the documentation. Am I overlooking something ?
You can use the search API endpoint, by specifying an artist and a track parameters, then extract the track ID from the response if there is only one match:
curl -X GET "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=track:I%20need%20a hero%20artist:the%20artist&type=track"

Looks like rid is compulsory to make api request, how to get this restaurant id?
No documentation is available for the same, Can anyone help me with this?
I am trying to use the OpenAlex API: https://docs.openalex.org/api
This API provides access to a catalog of scholarly papers, authors, institutions, etc...
It is easy enough to make a query for an institution's information such. Here is an example from the API docs:
https://api.openalex.org/I19820366
I am trying to figure out how to get a specific institution's ID.
In the docs, there is a statement that this ID number is Microsoft Academic Graph's institutional ID: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/microsoft-academic-graph/
But I have been unable to figure out anything in Microsoft Academic Graph either.
How can I find the institutional ID for a specific institution?
I am a beginner, and I also just started to retrieve data from the OpenAlex API. For me, the easiest way was either to use the ROR id or the GRID id, which you can both look up for any institution either here: https://www.grid.ac/ or here: https://ror.org/
Then you use either ROR or GRID-ID as an identifier (https://docs.openalex.org/about-the-data/institution#ids) and that identifier as a filter, as specified in the API documentation.
Be aware, that except for the Institution-ID, that you want to find, all the other institutional IDs, like ROR or GRID, have to be put in your request as a full URL. Take the example of the Johns Hopkins University. It's not enough to put their ROR like this: "00za53h95", you have to put in the API request like that: "https://ror.org/00za53h95" (without the quotes) or else it won't work. In my example, a request could look like this:
https://api.openalex.org/institutions/https://ror.org/00za53h95
This will deliver a nice json file with all the info you need, including the institution's ID in the database. Save the information as a file by using a cURL GET request or just do it via your browser and get the result as a webpage, both works. If you do the latter, you should follow the suggestion of the OpenAlex team and install a browser plugin like JSONVue, that will make the experience of reading the result on your screen so much better.
Hope that helps.
You can use the OpenAlex API to search for the ID like this:
https://api.openalex.org/institutions?filter=display_name.search:University%20of%20Virginia
In addition to Heather's comment, I'd like to add that we can now go to https://explore.openalex.org/ and search for any entity. Start typing "Johns Hopkins University" and you'll get to this page: https://explore.openalex.org/institutions/I145311948 which has all the identifiers (including the openalex id I145311948) and additional information about this institution.
I'm pretty new to the instagram API so apologies if this is a dumb question. I'm trying to extract some measure of location (ideally latitude and longitude) from a list of ~250 location ids that I pulled from instagram. The closest thing I can find to my question is this converting instagram location id to latitude and longitude so that I can overlay them on Google Map except I don't have the address.
I've read the documentation and I suspect the url request should be structured as below, which I found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/location/
curl -i -X GET \
"https://graph.facebook.com/{graph-api-version}/{location-id}&access_token={user-access-token}
But I can't seem to return any results. Any help is much appreciated!
I can share a reliable alternative to the official Instagram API with good support.
To get geodata based on location id, you need to create several queries:
POST request to download geodata:
https://api.data365.co/v1.1/instagram/location/{location_id}/update?access_token=YOUR TOKEN
GET request to check the task status:
https://api.data365.co/v1.1/instagram/location/{location_id}/update?access_token=YOUR TOKEN
GET request to get geodata:
https://api.data365.co/v1.1/instagram/location/{location_id}?access_token=YOUR TOKEN
You can see at this link what location data you will receive.
For this service, getting geodata is a part of finding posts by location task.
But if you do not specify any additional parameters in the request, you will receive data only by location as a result.
I know I can get all the posts in a group using the Graph API endpoint /group-id/feed. And I know I can get all the comments of a single post too. But I want to know if it's possible to get the comments of each posts in a group in a single request.
Ideally, I would want something like "get the latest 10 posts of a group with their comments" in a single request.
Couldn't find anything in the docs so it's probably not possible.
you can use the fields parameter
/group-id/feed?fields=message,comments
in this way you are able to retrieve the message of the post and all the comments related to it
I've just started looking at the documentation as we are going to need to integrate Salesforce with Social Tables shortly, so I am really new to Social Tables.
Specifically, we will need to sync data between the CRM and Social Tables Events and Guests, and maybe other objects, so it would be very helpful to have a data model or similar to check the relationships and fields available in Social Tables architecture.
I haven't found anything in the documentation, is there any way to get this, even if it's at a high level?
Thanks
Danny
To make an integration with SocialTables you'll have to do a few manual steps, there is no way to do this completely programmatic from my experience. You'll also have to be prepared to contact SocialTables to get get correct guestlist ids. Also keep in mind that the API documentation isn't always correct, the API logic is also quite difficult to understand from time to time.
The first thing you need to do is figure out which version of the Venue Mapper you use. You'd want to use the 4.0 api and as far as I know this version of the api is only supported by Venue Mapper 3.0. I believe the Venue Mapper 3.0 is the frontend tool SocialTables provides to do the venue planning.
In social tables an event has two ids, one numerical one and one alpha-numerical one, when you use the 4.0/events endpoint you only get the alpha-numerical event id, and your going to need the numerical one. The only way I've been able to get the numerical id is to pull it out from the url when using the Venue Mapper, example of the url follows below:
https://plan.socialtables.com/team/{team_id}/event/{event_id}/space/{space_id}
Now you need to get the guestlist id, you can get that by using the following url, using the numerical event id:
GET https://api.socialtables.com/4.0/diagrams?event={numerical_event_id}
This endpoint return a json structure where one of the parameters is "guestlist_id".
Please be aware that the guestlist id you get from this endpoint might not be the correct one. I struggled quite a bit with this part and ended up with SocialTables sending me the guestlist id by email.
To get the guests in your guestlist use the following api endpoint:
GET https://api.socialtables.com/4.0/guestlists/{guestlist_id}
The {guestlist_id} is an alpha-numerical string similar to: cfdac1c0-yb1d-12e6-84a5-a39e92131645
And by that you should hopefully get access to your guests.
Hey thanks for using our API.
To answer your question, the best way to see the data model at the moment is to access our developer portal and use the API console to see what is returned. For events you will need to know the team id of the team you are working with use the team events endpoint to get access to the event ids.
https://developer.socialtables.com/api-console#!/Events/get_4_0_legacyvm3_teams_team_events
This will return some basic information about each event for that team. You can then request additional details for specific events by using this endpoint:
https://developer.socialtables.com/api-console#!/Events/get_4_0_legacyvm3_events_event
