Is there a way to get a subset of data using Google Sheets API v4 by modifying the URL https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/SPREADSHEET_ID/values/Sheet1?key=APIKEY[something added to this URL]?
Specifically, I know that you can restrict the result by setting the range. But is there a way to filter the data in other ways through modifying the URL, say returning all rows containing 'John', or something like that?
This question is about Google Sheets API v4.
Many thanks.
Nope, there is no way to do that. According to the documentation the only parameters for this endpoint other than spreadsheet ID and range are:
majorDimension
valueRenderOption
dateTimeRenderOption
However, all of these control rendering of the returned data and not filtering of the data.
It seems this feature is not supported yet. I suggest you specify a range i.e., A1:K10, and after procuring all data, perform a search.
You can also check this SO thread for additional insight.

I want to do a search within a sheet.
I manage to get a list of entries (https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/{spreadsheetsID}/values/1?alt=json&key={API KEY})
but am unable to perform a search.
I use API KEY Is it possible to get an example?
Unfortunately, there is no method in Sheets API which lets you perform a search.
This has already been reported on Google's Issue Tracker here. I suggest you star the issue and eventually add a comment as well stating that you are interested in this feature.
I am new to MarkLogic and now I am trying to get some specific result of searching query.
More specifically, searching some word through search API and supposed to get a result of documents which include specific word.
No header information, no rank or any other meta data, just want to get documents as a result.
Is there any way to just one request and get documents as a result?
Or do I need to write some code to get specific result.
I'll be appreciated if you help me.
Thanks
If you are accessing MarkLogic from outside, I'd have a look at a POST call to /v1/search with an Accept header of multipart/mixed. Details should be described here: https://docs.marklogic.com/REST/POST/v1/search
If running inside MarkLogic, you could consider using the low-level cts:search, which indeed returns documents directly. Keep in mind though that it won't paginate results, and it is usually unwise to return more than about 50 to 100 documents at once. It would just hog memory, and not allow for parallel processing.
HTH!
I'll get this out of the way first: I'm an amateur programmer (at best)...i have some knowledge of how APIs work, but little to no experience manipulating the podio API directly (ie I use zapier/globiflow a lot and don't write any php/ruby). I'm sure other people can figure this out via the API documentation, but I can't. So i'm really hoping someone can help clarify and give some more detailed instruction.
My Overall objective:
I frequently export podio files as xlsx from the podio front-end. This is used by my team and me to do regular data analysis tasks in excel. I would like to make this process easier by automating the function of getting an updated podio export into my excel. My plan is to do this via excel VBA. I understand from other searching that it is possible to send an HTTP request using VBA, so i want to make sure i understand what I need to send to the Podio API to get what I need. The method of how to write the HTTP request in excel VBA is outside the intentional scope of this question (though i'd accept any help on this!)
What I've tried so far:
I know that 'get items as xlsx' is part of the podio API: https://developers.podio.com/doc/items/get-items-as-xlsx-63233
However I cannot seem to get this to work in the sandbox environment on that page so that i can figure out a valid request url. I get this message: 'Invalid filtering key' ... because i have no idea how to fill in that field. The information on that page is not clear on this. Nor is it evident on the referenced 'views page'. There are no examples to follow!
I don't even want to do any filtering. I just want to get ALL items in the app. Or i can give it a pre-existing view_id, but that doens't seem to work either without a {key}
I realise this is probably dead simple. Please help a noob? :)
Unfortunately, the interactive API sandbox does not behave appropriately for this particular endpoint. For filtering, this API endpoint expects query string parameters where the field-value pairs consist of integer field IDs and the allowed values for each field. Filtering by fields is totally optional. It looks like this sandbox page isn't built for this kind of operation with dynamic query string field names; wherever you see the {key} field on that page is meant as a placeholder for whatever field IDs that you would use for filtering.
If you want to experiment with this endpoint, I would encourage you to try another dedicated HTTP client first. I was able to get this simple example working with the command-line program wget:
wget --header="Authorization:OAuth2 $MY_SECRET_TOKEN" \
--content-disposition \
"https://api.podio.com/item/app/16476850/xlsx/"
In this case, wget downloaded an Excel file containing all the items in my app without any filtering applied. The additional --content-disposition argument tells wget to save the output as a file with a name using the information in the server's Content-Disposition response header.
With a filter applied:
wget --header="Authorization:OAuth2 $MY_SECRET_TOKEN" \
--content-disposition \
"https://api.podio.com/item/app/16476850/xlsx/?130654431=galaxy"
In this case, the downloaded file filtered the results to items where field id 130654431 (which is a category field) contain the value galaxy.

What would the best approach for hitting every company that is listed on AngelList? My first guess would be to query all the numbers up until 250k, the number of companies on angelList, using this endpoint https://api.angel.co/1/startups/45435
There surely has to be a better way of doing this though.
Yes it is possible via their API. And the API endpoint that you have mentioned in your question is the correct one. I have written a PHP component to achieve this. You can use this exporter application to download the start-ups data for each country into a CSV file : AngelList Data Exporter
I hope this helps you.
Angel.co does not expose its api anymore. So you have to parse the website to get any data.
Also a quick google search would give you a few websites which have different datasets from angel.co website.
Is there a way to search and retrieve the results from On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (http://oeis.org) programmatically?
I have searched their site and the results are always returned in html. They do not seem to provide an API but in the policy statement they say its acceptable to access the database programmatically. But how to do it without screen scraping?
Thanks a lot for your help.
The OEIS now provides several points of access, not just ones using their internal format. These seem largely undocumented, so here are all of the endpoints that I have found:
https://oeis.org/search?fmt=json&q=<sequenceTerm>&start=<itemToStartAt>
Returns a JSON formatted response of the results found from the sequenceTerm given. If too many results were returned, count will be > 0 whilst results will be null. If no results were returned, count will be 0. itemToStartAt is used for pagination of results, as only a maximum of 10 are ever returned. This starts at 0. If you wanted to return a second page of results, this would equal 10. Information about what each of the entries means can be found here.
https://oeis.org/search?fmt=text&q=<sequenceTerm>&start=<itemToStartAt>
Exactly the same arguments as before, however this returns it in the OEIS internal format. Which is largely written about here. Unless your project requires it, I'd highly recommend using the JSON format over this.
https://oeis.org/search?fmt=<json|text>&q=id:A<sequenceNumber>
Will return a single result if the sequenceNumber is found. This is the suggested method for obtaining single sequences, as it appears to be far more optimised than some of the alternative methods that can be used as queries. Requests often take under a second. Alternative search query methods can be found on this page.
https://oeis.org/A<sequenceNumber>/graph?png=1
This endpoint can be used to grab the images used to graph the data points. Alternatively, setting png to equal to zero returns the HTML page containing a graph of it.
https://oeis.org/recent.txt
This returns a list of recently updated entries in the OEIS internal format. There are no parameters available, or JSON format, as this seems like a static text file that is simply being served to the client. Due to the length of replies from the OEIS database (for some sequences replies can take above five seconds), I'd highly recommend heavily caching requests and using the above endpoint to update them when they change.
A URL of the form http://oeis.org/search?fmt=text&q=2,5,14,50,233 gives a nicely formatted text output.
But it seems there is no way to get a single sequence in text form.
If you happen to use Mathematica, it sounds like the following notebook might help. It allows you to specify a sequence and automatically import a detailed list of matching entries from the OEIS:
http://www.brotherstechnology.com/math/oeis_mathematica.html
It looks like direct use of their CGI program is the only API they provide.
URL for Searching the Database
https://oeis.org/search?q=id:A000032&fmt=text
gives the plain text form of an entry in their internal format
