Our product (Yoke.io) integrates Evernote through REST API. We need to generate direct URL link to a specific notebook, note or tag so that user can click the link to access them.
However, current URL format contains parameters named "ses", "sh" and "sds" in addition to the ids for notebook/note/tag. I have no idea what these parameters mean and if they are different for different users, platforms, etc.
For example, if I want to access a notebook with id "3ec5f3c1-bd4d-4f94-b924-367b13eaf3bc", and generate the following links:
https://www.evernote.com/Home.action#b=3ec5f3c1-bd4d-4f94-b924-367b13eaf3bc
https://www.evernote.com/Home.action#b=3ec5f3c1-bd4d-4f94-b924-367b13eaf3bc&ses=4&sh=1&sds=5&
The first link (#1) won't work but the second link (#2) works.
I could hard-code "ses", "sh" and "sds" parameters in the URL but my feelings is that these parameters will change for different users.
Could anyone explain more on what are these parameters for and how I can generate a direct URL link to a specific Evernote notebook/note/tag?
Thanks a lot for your help.

ses, sh and sds are hash parameters we use when serializing the state of the web client. If you try manipulating the hash parameters to get the web client into a certain state, note that these are undocumented APIs and are subject to change at any time. That said, they won't change super often.
None of those three parameters will change on a per-user basis, they represent the "view" of the client you're in at the time. The simplest way to get a url in the format you like is to navigate to that view in the web client, copy the hash, and replace note and/or notebook guids in the url (b for the notebook guid and n for the note guid).

I have a JS based CMS that populates a single page with different content based on URL parameters passed to the page. I am using the shareURL format (https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=''&title=''&summary=''&source='')
But the parameters I pass are never used it always falls back to what is being served directly from the server.
Do I have to use the API to make this work and if so can I use the API without making the user authenticate?
Is there a correct way to pass this so that linked in will display the correct data.
After testing this more I realised that the linked ins share URL does not take its parameters it only takes what is served from the server. So I changed my build process not to get the pages in run time but to precompile them onto the server. Maybe in the future linked in will have resolved this for dynamic pages.
I have been able so far to create a new civi Mailing object and populate it, but confusingly I can't see a parameter in that to specify the mail destination group.
For context, I am dealing with Civi using pure REST api from a remote server. I have a solution to getting a custom template onto the server; the new problem is setting a schedule and delivery group, and initiating the send. I am using the python-civicrm library from github as the intermediary on the client.
I presume send happens as a result of setting the schedule -- i.e. I don't need an API call to say 'send mailing'? Is setting 'sheduled date' == 'now' safe or should I set a date of 'now + 1min' or similar?
So that leaves setting the delivery group. We already have groups defined in the DB, and I want to specify the group by name (and preferably be able to verify in advance that a group name is a valid destination, perhaps by doing a group name -> id lookup).
I think there might be a parameter to Mailing create 'groups' which can have keys 'include' and 'exclude'; at least, that's what the web form seems to do. However it's not mentioned in the REST api implementation.
Can anyone offer pointers?
I think you will find all you need in the following link :
Example of api call that is using the group include/exclude : https://gist.github.com/xurizaemon/6775471
Discussion about implementing mailing as an api - http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=24075.0
Otherwise, if it doesn't work, i suggest that you :
help adding this api in the CiviCRM Core - you could have some help on this on irc #civicrm (and have a look at https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-11023)
OR create an extension with the api you need. It will be automatically available for REST. If you haven't created an extension yet, i suggest you go to the page http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Create+a+Module+Extension. It's quite straightforward with civix installed.
The table you need to check in the database is civicrm_mailing_group
To confirm, the problem was that (a) I needed to use groups[include]=array(ids) as mentioned by samuelsov, but also (b) I needed to use the json={...} form of request through REST, because the HTTP params syntax doesn't support nested data.
What is the best way to create a dynamic request URL for the REST Connector in CloudConnect?
e.g. I want the URL to be for example www.myservice.com/api/{todays-date}/report.json and the URL must change accordingly everytime the ETL runs.
Is there some way to make this happen by code in CloudConnect? I didn't find any straight forward way but I found that one might be able to import a remote file containing the URL.
Does anyone have experience or tips on this subject?
what should work the best is to generate this parameter (e.g. in Data Generator) or read some data from the source (e.g. list of IDs) and send it to the REST component as an input parameter (e.g. metadata field name is 'today_date', so use ${today_date}). As far as I know this should work.
Another option is to use a parameter from a *.prm file (like workspace.prm). You can use ${PARAMETER_NAME} in your URL and this should also work correctly.
Hope this helps.

I need to fetch company addresses(cim) from site http://www.ceginfo.hu/
Example Company Name: AB-KONTÍR Szolgáltató Bt.
I know how to do it using WinHttp.WinHttpRequest object and FireBug.
But I am not able to decide to which URL I should send this request.
When I analyse the request/responses using FireBug, I get the following URL:
http://www.ceginfo.hu/company/search/4221638
4221638 is CompanyID here I think. But in my case I will have company name only and that's what my problem is.
So can anybody please tell me where can I get URL using firebug or any other tool using which I can track the URL with Company Name as parameter which I can use in my VBA code.
Thanks in advance!

No. Unless there is a publicly available database (I would suggest calling them, if you can) or an API that allows for programmatic access, the only way to arrive at this link slug is by executing the search.
Further, the post slog is not as relevant as you think. If you search for simply "Kontir", this is the resulting page -- with many results:
http://www.ceginfo.hu/company/search/4222407
You're going to have to automate the "search" -- passing the criteria to the Web Page and executing the button-click and/or HTTPPost, and then parse the result(s). In the example company name, there is only one result. But it is possible as in my example above, that there may be multiple matches for some queries, and then you will need to have a method of dealing with these, or ignoring them.
I have a product code which I need to enter into 6 different websites in order to pull different information from them about the product. Is there away to save this product code into some sort of variable and pass it into each websites input box and it return all the information from each one automatically? Really have no idea where to go/start with this so if anyone can brainstorm a few ideas to get me moving that would be great.
In order get what you are planning for:
You need a script which visits the specified web site,
then at the website, you can get the element by tag.
For instance in javascript,
var textBox = document.getElementByTag(Input);
This will give you a reference to text field to enter the text. It can be done as follows:
textBox.value = "any string";
Once you have done this, you will have to retrieve the results from the page, based on the website layout.
So if you can specify about your work in detail, you would get better response.
Assuming you're talking about using an ordinary GUI browser, the best you can do is copy it to your system clipboard, and paste it into each page on the browser.
If you're talking about a programmatic web-access like wget or curl, it depends on what language you are writing your script in.
you have to create the web request for each web site and find a way to parse the response which will be HTML
have a look at the HttpWebRequest you can find lots of example on internet that shows how you can create an HTTP POST to a website.
