"New version of BigQuery" Message - google-bigquery

Last few days I am getting below message in BigQuery UI few times a day.
Nothing really new that I was able to catch.
Anyone has same experience?
Any idea what is this?

This message indicates that there is a new version of the BigQuery web UI available, but that you need to click "Reload" in your browser in order to get the new code.
Note that you get backend updates automatically--this applies to the web UI only.

Dropbox getTemporaryLinks API errors description

I received an email from Dropbox states from middle of october get temporary links api will returns an email_not_verified error in case user not verified her email address, so far so good.
I'm able to get the response body from the doc https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_temporary_link
Since I'm using dropbox java sdk and I'm used to code test first, I was trying to simulate the scenario, but having the json inside the http response, I've an error parsing the json inside dbx library. So I tried changing the status code and, having 409 I got com.dropbox.core.v2.files.GetTemporaryLinkErrorException: Exception in 2/files/get_temporary_link: "other"
but it is not enough, since I need to manage the scenario.. Can someone help me understanding what I can check in the code but first of all, what is the response I've to simulate in my unit test?
Thanks in advance
The other error case indicates that it's an error that the SDK you're using does not recognize. The GetTemporaryLinkError.email_not_verified error is relatively new, so you'll need to make sure you're using a recent enough version of the SDK to be able to identify it. For the GetTemporaryLinkError.email_not_verified error, that is v3.1.0 or later of the Dropbox Java SDK. (It's best to just get the latest anyway, which is currently v3.1.1.)
If you're are using an updated version of the SDK, it's also possible you're just not setting valid JSON for the GetTemporaryLinkError.email_not_verified error case when you're trying to simulate this. You can find the valid JSON for this error case in the /2/files/get_temporary_link documentation. Make sure you copy that as shown there if you're trying to simulate this.
Lastly, to actually catch that error with the Dropbox Java SDK, you'll want to catch GetTemporaryLinkErrorException thrown by getTemporaryLink. To check for the specific case, check the GetTemporaryLinkErrorException.errorValue. The GetTemporaryLinkError.isEmailNotVerified will return true for the unverified email case.

How to configure PagerDuty alerts in Splunk Cloud?

I've run into a few different issues with the PagerDuty integration in Splunk Cloud.
The documentation on PagerDuty's site is either outdated, not applicable to Splunk Cloud or else there's something wrong with the way my Splunk Cloud account is configured (could be a permissions issue): https://www.pagerduty.com/docs/guides/splunk-integration-guide/. I don't see an Alert Actions page in Splunk Cloud, I have a Searches, Reports and Alerts page though.
I've configured PD alerts in Splunk using the alert_logevent app but it's not clear if I should instead be using some other app. These alerts do fire when there are search hits but I'm seeing another issue (below). The alert_webhook app type seems like it might be appropriate but I was unable to get it to work correctly. I cannot create an alert type using the pagerduty_incident app. . . although I can set it as a Trigger Action (I guess this is how it's supposed to work, I don't find the UI to intuitive here).
When my alerts fire and create incidents in PagerDuty, I do not see a way to set the PagerDuty incident severity.
Also, the PD incidents include a link back to Splunk, which I believe should open the query with the search hits which generated the alert. However, the link brings me to a page with a Page Not Found! error. It contains a link to "more information about my request" which brings up a Splunk query with no hits. This query looks like "index=_internal, host=SOME_HOST_ON_SPLUNK_CLOUD, source=*web_service.log, log_level=ERROR, requestid=A_REQUEST_ID". It it not clear to me if this is a config issue, bug in Splunk Cloud or possibly even a permissions issue for my account.
Any help is appreciated.
I'm also a Splunk Cloud + PagerDuty customer and ran into the same issue. The PagerDuty App for Splunk seems to create all incidents as Critical but you can set different severities with event rules.
One way to do this is dynamically is to rename your Splunk alerts with the desired severity level and then create a PagerDuty event rule for each level that looks for the keyword in the Summary. For example...
If the following condition is met:
Summary contains "TEST"
Then perform the following actions:
Set severity = Info
screenshot of the example in the event rule edit screen
It's a bit of pain to rename your existing alerts in Splunk but it works.
If your severity levels in Splunk are programmatically set like in Enterprise Security, then another method would be to modify the PagerDuty App for Splunk to send the $alert.severity$ custom alert action token as a custom detail in the webhook payload and use that as event rule condition instead of Summary... but that seems harder.

Error zapier with ufeff

I integrated Zapier into my application. At first, everything was working. I was able to create some Zaps and receive some information. After a few days, I created a new Zap, but this time it didn't work. I got in touch with Zapier's support and they informed me that the problem is with the ID I was providing them. It contains some extra characters.
`\ufeff{"id":"23"}`
Does anyone know what I can do to solve this problem? When I test with Postman, I don't see any extra characters.

Accessing Metacritic API and/or Scraping

Does anybody know where documentation for the Metacritic api is/if it still works. There used to be a Metacritic API at https://market.mashape.com/byroredux/metacritic-v2#get-user-details which disappeared today.
Otherwise I'm trying to scrape the site myself but keeping getting a blocked by a 429 Slow down. I got data like 3 times this hour and haven't been able to get anymore in the last 20 minutes which is making testing difficult and application possibly useless. Please let me know if there's anything else I can be doing to scape I don't know about.
I was using that API as well for an app I wrote a while ago. Looks like the creator removed it from Mashape. I just sent him an email to ask whether it'll be back up. I did find this scraper online. It only has a few endpoints but following the examples given you could easily add more. Let me know if you make any progress!
Edit: Looks like CBS requested it to be taken down. The ToS prohibits scraping:
[…] you agree not to do the following, or assist others to do the following:
Engage in unauthorized spidering, “scraping,” data mining or harvesting of Content, or use any other unauthorized automated means to gather data from or about the Services;
Though I was hoping for a Javascript way of doing this, the creator of the API also told me some info.
He says I was getting blocked for not having a User agent in the header and should use a 429 handling procedure i.e. re-request with longer pauses in between.
A PHP plugin available as well: http://datalinx.io/shop/metacritic-api/
I had to add a user agent like JCDJulian said and now it allows me to scrape. So for Ruby:
agent = Mechanize.new
agent.user_agent_alias = "Mac Firefox"
Then it stopped giving me the 403 Forbidden error.

Capture error message in Web Application using QTP

I wanna capture the error message from the web based application during the run-time of QTP if server couldn't able to process the request which was hardcoded.
Example: If i'm trying run for sign-up page were i hardcoded all the fields but in the website they asking for minimum of 8 character for the field password but i hardcoded only 6 character.
I'm facing an error while running QTP and that web application shows additional "Pop-up" page. I wanna capture that message in that pop-up window and need to store string for future purpose.
Pls help me
You can typically use an Output Value to capture strings from elements in the application. How to do this exactly depends on the way your application displays the error message, you will have to give some more details if you want a more specific answer.
Use the QTP Recovery Scenario feature and setup trigger for a popup having a specific window title.
