I have a location field called origin and a field called distination. I am trying to calculate a third field called distance by using an address from both the Origin and the Destination field? What is the easiest way to achieve this?
Here's one idea. Use the Google map's destination API to get the distance between between the 2 location fields. I am not sure how I can make these 2 API calls.
Sorry, but I don't think that's currently possible within Podio. I tried to get this to work using Podio's Calculation field and Google's Distance Matrix service. Unfortunately, the Calculation field doesn't allow access to the XMLHttpRequest API, which is what you would likely need to access any 3rd-Party APIs.
You need to use a third party tool to calculate the distance. Then update a number field (or maybe text field depending on your need) in Podio with the result. The calculation field cannot be use for such purposes.

I have a search functionality that gets data from HERE API's Search endpoint. I maintain records of each search's results so I can add metadata that I need for my own purposes and also so I can provide results without always going back to HERE API. The problem I have is with paginating, specifically with providing a starting index when fetching results from HERE. Similar to how Algolia does it, I want to be able to search for a term and begin with the results at a certain index, the offset. HERE API apparently doesn't allow this at all. The closest it comes to such a feature is that it provides the URL for the next search, as described here. This is limited because it doesn't allow me to start the search results at a particular index that I specify. So essentially I want to know if there's a "standard" way of getting such functionality even when it's not provided by the API.
My own solution
The HERE API provides a size parameter that allows specifying the total number of results that I want, so I can specify a larger size than I need, and basically use code to start the results from my desired index. But this feels a bit hacky, and I wonder if there's a better/more established way of doing this.
Happy to listen to any ideas! Thanks. :)
Such a kind of an 'offset' for starting the paging after a specific number of results is indeed not supported by the Places API itself.
You have to set up a workaround within your application.
I would like to, via OneSignal REST API :
filter the push to users in a certain location (as in the doc) but it lacks sample code/relevant routes. The steps would be :
store tags for users (documented here, this is fine)
creating a segment (I don't see this in the docs)
push by filtering by segment (this is covered here)
Similarly I would like to be able to filter the push to users that visited a location in a certain date range (ex. last week, last month...). I am not completely sure this is possible using only OneSignal.
The minimum I would need is how to create a segment with OneSignal.
Edit : looks like there is a way in the dashboard, but I need to do it programmatically.
(I help work on OneSignal) OneSignal does not support programmatically targeting by a location at this time but we're planning on adding support for this in the near future.
One way to do some of this until then would be to provide the name or position of a location as tags. For instance you could use the tags lat=41.123, lon=55.331, then target users programmatically where the tags are greater than and less than the ranges you specify.
OneSignal does not provide built-in functionality to target by historical locations and we do not plan to add support for this, but you may be able to use tags to achieve your desired result.
Note that OneSignal does allow you to target by Player ID, so you could always store your users' Player IDs in your own system and do the calculation of who should receive a notification on your own.
I am trying to get the data to create the burned down chart from version one.
I came to know there is no standard api's for that.
Here i found that by making multiple call's to fetch todo value for a scope of timebox it is possible.
Is there any better way to do it?
and also let me know any good open source libraries(javascrpt/java) to plot such graph
i tried the way shown here but i am not able to make out what value i am getting.
i tried a get request like
"base URL"/rest-1.v1/Data/Timebox?where=State.Code='ACTV'&asof"11-25-2015"&sel=Name,EndDate,State,Workitems.ToDo.#Sum
but could only get present value but not the past ones.
Thanks in advance
You are using the rest-1.v1/Data endpoint. From this endpoint you will get the current state of assets in your VersionOne instance however, there is an attribute "Prior" which contains the previous state of a VersionOne asset (Timebox). The most robust way to access historical data is though the rest-1.v1/Hist endpoint. You can find details about Hist queries here.
Using your query
"base URL"/rest-1.v1/Hist/Timebox?where=State.Code='ACTV'&asof"2015-11-25T17:30:00.00"&sel=Name,EndDate,State,Workitems.ToDo.#Sum
The asof keyword will return the state of that Timebox at that instance in time. Observe the proper format of the date.
I would like to return specific places (stores like Target, Macy's, etc.) by location (latitude, longitude).
I have been using the google places api and entering the different stores in the name parameter. The results are inconsistent at best.
Is this the api I should be using to return specific stores by name and proximity? The google places api near by search has only a single name parameter. I would ideally like to search for several specific stores in a single request to the endpoint for performance reasons.
In conclusion
What api should I be using to return specific stores by name and proximity?
The Google Places API is the correct Google API to use; however, as you mentioned it does not support multiple name or keyword parameters. There is an active Places API - Feature Request for this here, please star it if you wish to see it resolved and to be notified of future changes.
Instead of using the name parameter, try using the keyword parameter. The keyword parameter is matched against all available fields, including but not limited to name, type, and address, as well as customer reviews and other third-party content. This can often yield more or better results.
It seems as if the foursquare api does let you search for multiple specific places.
Here is an example url that does the trick:
https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search?ll=34.017717,-118.159335&query=Target Victoria's Secret Macy's &intent=browse&radius=16094&oauth_token=mytoken
g
So I'm abandoning Google Places and going with FourSquare.
Edit refurbished the question that was not clear
New to GA, I'm looking at the way to retrieve automatically custom variables data statistics
The query would have
a start and an end dates (possibly equal)
a variable name
For instance, a Page-level variable Brand takes only three possible values, that are set by the web server, and seen by the client.
The values are Apple, Google and Microsoft.
The query to Google-Analytics could be something like (pseudo-code), provided that I use an authentication token previously acquired
...getstatistics?myToken=123&variable=Brand&datefrom=20110121&dateto=20110121
And the result could be some xml like data
<variable>Brand</variable><value>Apple</value><count>3214</count>
<variable>Brand</variable><value>Google</value><count>4321</count>
<variable>Brand</variable><value>Microsoft</value><count>1345</count>
Meaning for instance that the page-level custom variable Brand was set to the value Apple by the web server (and thus seen by the client / sent to GA) 3214 times.
What is the correct way/protocol to query values/statistics from GA, in order to get statistics related to custom variables?
So, this is my understanding of what you're doing:
You're setting page-level custom variables (important technical note: these need to be called before the _trackPageview or some other call, else they won't be tracked.)
Your code might looks something like this:
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 2, 'Brand', 3]);
Now, when querying the Google Analytics API, its important to note that the slot # is very important, since the slot you're accessing is explicitly named in the query.
So, to do this, you'd need to set your dimensions to ga:customVarName2 and ga:customVarValue2, and decide what metric you're interesting it getting. You mention Page views, so you'd use ga:pageviews. (You're by no means limited to pageviews. You can use any Metric besides a couple of the AdWords specific ones.)
This query would return you all of the custom variable from this slot, and the number of pageviews associated with them.
You also mentioned you'd want to be able to filter by value.
You'd do that by setting the filter value to something like ga:customVarValue2==Apple.
You can see what a query like that would look like here in the query explorer.
Here's a sample screenshot:
Finally, all Google Analytics API queries by default require you to set a date range, so you could query that on your own.
All you need to do is decide which library you want to use as interface, and you're set to go.
Google has a handy resource, called the Google Analytics Data Explorer that can help answer a lot of your questions by letting you experiment through an interface, as long as you login with your Google Analytics credentials.
As you add parameters using their tools, the system will automatically build your URL/Query.
If that's not enough, Google also has some Interactive Examples using JavaScript. Like the Data Explorer, you can also login with your Google Analytics credentials and run the examples to see what data would be returned.
These tools are awesome because they help take the guesswork out of figuring out how to target the exact data you're searching for.
