I am using VK API to get list of cities in specific country. Does anyone know how to show Russian cities (which are in Cyrilic) in Latin?
Example of JSON response:
http://api.vk.com/method/places.getCities?lang=en&country_id=1&count=1000&need_all=1
I am trying to check if city exists, but if someone enter city name in latin, in some cases city check works, for example Vladivostok is Владивосток, but Moscow is Москва.
I found one solution that works for me: firstly get all cities ids by places.getCities (database.getCities) method and then use database.getCitiesById providing saved cities ids like following:
database.getCitiesById?lang=en&city_ids=1,2,123
In request to this API method you can specify needed language by parameter "lang" (e.g. lang=en) and up to 1k comma-separated cities ids (e.g. city_ids=1,2,123,...).
database.getCitiesById official documentation
As an alternative, you can get the static list of Russian cities here. This JSON array contains the slug name of each city in English. It's a free list, so anyone can edit and add correct information for any localities.

I have built 5-6 OCR till date like aadhar, pan, ITR, Driving Linces etc., using google cloud vision API, I think you are looking for response like
{"pan_card_no":"ECXXXXXX123",
"name":"fshksj"
}
to get such response you need to built your own logic, here are some logic's i can share with you
Perform OCR on your document using Google_cloud_vision API and store that response into one array (Goggle gives logic line by line)
Like in above case if you want to grab DOB first you can build logic like i) if "DOB" in (list of item) then grab the numeric values
To get the name what you can do is dropping the unnecessary items from list by if using if condition like (if "India" in i) or (if i.isdigit()) then drop it likewise you can drop the unnesseary items from main list to get the Name
to grab the Address what you can do is, 95% of the time address come with pincode at last, so what you can do is treat pincode as a last index of address and look of "Address" kind of keyword then add all the elements from "Add keyword index" to "pincode index" ( this can be easily done in list) to validate whether the pincode is valid or not you can use library like Pyzipin
There are multiple conditions that you can use, above are the very basic one i mentioned, if you need any specific logic then then you can ask me
url = "https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1510853708
This only returns English results. I want to add a language or country code for China, but none of these worked:
url = "https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1510853708&country=cn
url = "https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1510853708&l=zh
It returned 0 results. I changed id to bundleId, but is the same.
However, search api worked with country=cn. So why doesn't lookup api doesn't work?
try this "https://itunes.apple.com/cn/lookup?id=",
and confirmed that your app sales areas contains China mainland.
We are using Google map api to find distance between two postalcodes. We can get the distance between any two postalcodes by using google map api Working Map API example. Some of the postal-code this api returns NotFound error when the postal-code is sent without any space, but for the same postal-code if we give space after 3 letters it works well and returns the distance correctly.
API URL
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=H3W3C4&destinations=H1C0A6&mode=driving&language=en-EN&sensor=false
Example 1:
url:http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=H3W3C4&destinations=H1A0C2&mode=driving&language=en-EN&sensor=false
postal-code: H1A0C2,
api result : NotFound
Example 2:
url:http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=H3W3C4&destinations=H1A 0C2&mode=driving&language=en-EN&sensor=false
postal-code: H1A 0C2,api
result : returns correct distance
Below are list of postal codes for which api returns NotFound if we give postal-code without space(but if we give space like 'H1A 0C2' it will return results)
H1A0C2
H1A0C3
H1A0C4
H1B0B7
H1C0E3
H1C0E4
H1C0E5
H1C0E6
H1C0E7
H1C0E8
H1C0E9
H1C0G1
H1C0G2
below list postalcodes for which api returns the distance correctly if we give with/without space( like works well if we give 'H1C 0A7' and 'H1C0A7'.
H1C0A7
H1C0A8
H1C0A9
Though it works with or without space for most of the postalcodes, for few it does not return values without spaces. What could be the reason?
I would suggest checking if the postal code exists in the Google database.
For example the postal code H1A0C2 seems to be missing
https://developers-dot-devsite-v2-prod.appspot.com/maps/documentation/utils/geocoder/#q%3D%26options%3Dtrue%26in_country%3DCA%26in_postal_code%3DH1A0C2
As you can see, the geocoder tool returns only postal code prefix HA1, but not the postal code itself.
For the postal code H1C0A9 geocoder returns a complete postal code:
https://developers-dot-devsite-v2-prod.appspot.com/maps/documentation/utils/geocoder/#q%3D%26in_country%3DCA%26in_postal_code%3DH1C0A9
I think the distance matrix cannot find distance for missing postal codes. However, when you add an empty space it can find a postal code prefix and calculates distance based on coordinates of postal code prefix. So the result might be not precise enough in this case.
You can report missing postal codes to Google as described in the following support doc:
https://support.google.com/maps/answer/3094088
Hope this helps!
I am using the Google API to search for books by ISBN.
I am trying with these 3 codes
0716604892, 0716604892, 0544506723
like this
https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=isbn:0716604892
https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=isbn:0716604892
https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=isbn:0544506723
but the last one doesn't return anything when the book exists, and the ISBN code is right.
Why is that?
Use ISBN in uppercase.
type it as:
https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=ISBN:0544506723
instead of:
https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=isbn:0544506723
Lets say I have a set of cities in the world like so:
EUKLOND
EUKMANC
EUKEDIN
EITROME
EITMILA
EITNAPE
EFRPARI
EFRAVIG
EFRBRES
Where the first letter is continent, next two are country and the trailing 4 are an abbreviated city name.
I would like to be able to search this set by passing in "E" which would return all the entries or EIT and retrieve all the entries for Italy or EFRPARI and get just the Paris entry.
Is this something I can do with Redis?
Generally, it's an Auto-Complete scenario.
Salvatore Sanfilippo (#Antirez), Redis's author, wrote a thorough blog post about how to accomplish this.
UPDATE: I just saw another great blog post, that first takes Salvatore's solution and explains it in a clear way, and second offers another solution that is good also for multiple-word phrases.
