I've tried searching through Stack overflow as well as the soundcloud API reference but couldn't find any answer. I'm trying to retrieve the date a user liked a song on Soundcloud. I tried two parts of the API:
- /users/{id}/favorites: This will return all tracks liked by the user, but no date when it was liked.
- /me/activities: This returns track reposts, comments and seemingly tracks that show up on the stream. Sadly there doesn't seem to be a type track-like, but maybe I'm doing something wrong here or need to pass additional parameters.
I'm having the user log into Soundcloud before utilizing the API.
Any chance someone knows if retrieving the track like date via the API is possible?
Thanks!
With the public API available right now, this is not possible.
You have to build it on your own and track the changes in a different, your own database.
Example call from the website when you lookup your likes, i dont know what you will see with a pro account:
https://api-v2.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:1672444/stats/timeseries/likes?from=1442016000000&to=1442534400000&resolution=day&tracks=soundcloud%3Atracks%3A30984358&client_id=02gUJC0hH2ct1EGOcYXQIzRFU91c72Ea&app_version=39e9f65
Response:
[{"user_urn":"soundcloud:users:1672444","timeseries":[{"time":1442016000000,"count":1},{"time":1442534400000,"count":1}]},{"user_urn":"soundcloud:users:1672444","track_urn":"soundcloud:tracks:30984358","timeseries":[{"time":1442016000000,"count":1},{"time":1442534400000,"count":1}]}]

I've just started looking at the documentation as we are going to need to integrate Salesforce with Social Tables shortly, so I am really new to Social Tables.
Specifically, we will need to sync data between the CRM and Social Tables Events and Guests, and maybe other objects, so it would be very helpful to have a data model or similar to check the relationships and fields available in Social Tables architecture.
I haven't found anything in the documentation, is there any way to get this, even if it's at a high level?
Thanks
Danny
To make an integration with SocialTables you'll have to do a few manual steps, there is no way to do this completely programmatic from my experience. You'll also have to be prepared to contact SocialTables to get get correct guestlist ids. Also keep in mind that the API documentation isn't always correct, the API logic is also quite difficult to understand from time to time.
The first thing you need to do is figure out which version of the Venue Mapper you use. You'd want to use the 4.0 api and as far as I know this version of the api is only supported by Venue Mapper 3.0. I believe the Venue Mapper 3.0 is the frontend tool SocialTables provides to do the venue planning.
In social tables an event has two ids, one numerical one and one alpha-numerical one, when you use the 4.0/events endpoint you only get the alpha-numerical event id, and your going to need the numerical one. The only way I've been able to get the numerical id is to pull it out from the url when using the Venue Mapper, example of the url follows below:
https://plan.socialtables.com/team/{team_id}/event/{event_id}/space/{space_id}
Now you need to get the guestlist id, you can get that by using the following url, using the numerical event id:
GET https://api.socialtables.com/4.0/diagrams?event={numerical_event_id}
This endpoint return a json structure where one of the parameters is "guestlist_id".
Please be aware that the guestlist id you get from this endpoint might not be the correct one. I struggled quite a bit with this part and ended up with SocialTables sending me the guestlist id by email.
To get the guests in your guestlist use the following api endpoint:
GET https://api.socialtables.com/4.0/guestlists/{guestlist_id}
The {guestlist_id} is an alpha-numerical string similar to: cfdac1c0-yb1d-12e6-84a5-a39e92131645
And by that you should hopefully get access to your guests.
Hey thanks for using our API.
To answer your question, the best way to see the data model at the moment is to access our developer portal and use the API console to see what is returned. For events you will need to know the team id of the team you are working with use the team events endpoint to get access to the event ids.
https://developer.socialtables.com/api-console#!/Events/get_4_0_legacyvm3_teams_team_events
This will return some basic information about each event for that team. You can then request additional details for specific events by using this endpoint:
https://developer.socialtables.com/api-console#!/Events/get_4_0_legacyvm3_events_event
I'm looking to somehow tell users to upload a picture and do something, either tag or # our company so we are notified in real time, i just need to fetch the url of the photo that was uploaded and tagged or # or ANYTHING.
the hashtag search doesn't seem to work correctly, i've tried multiple hashtags and they wont retrieve them in any type of real time or at all.
the real-time subscription only notifies me that there is a new photo tagged that i subscribed to, so i have api search for a list of new media with that tag, which goes back to point 1, its not accurate or reliable.
so do i have any options at all on instagram?
If not do I have any options on facebook? any real time keyword search to grab the url of the photo they uploaded with a unique tag.
Check out https://github.com/chapmanu/hummingbird, it might be what you're looking for.
My experience with the Instagram Real-Time API is, that it is rather reliable.
When you get a real-time ping and then call the endpoint for your hashtag, the results are ordered newest first.
You can then paginate until you hit the last known result.
Maybe this tutorial helps: http://www.mtrinitaria.com/mykhel/tutorial-instagram-real-time-photo-update-api-with-php/
Right, this is really working on my nerves, but Instagram has to do something about their bloody documentation.
I am already trying for a week to live update my website with new instagram posts without refreshing the page. Twitter was fairly easy, but instagram is just one big mess. Basically I use the realtime Instagram API, the callback and all that stuff is working fine, but thanks to Instagram it does not return me an ID from the post that is new, the callback only returns some basic stuff:
[{"changed_aspect": "media", "object": "tag", "object_id": "nofilter", "time": 1391091743, "subscription_id": xxxxx, "data": {}}]
with this data you are nothing, except for the Tag, but I knew the tag before this callback too so doesn't matter. It actually only tells me that there is a new post. I have tried doing the same request as when the page loads, when this callback occurs, and get the posts that are newer than those already on the page. Unfortunately I have not succeeded in this yet. I have picked the ID from the last posted instagram post, and checked if it is in the callback request, and it's not.
What am I doing wrong?
I'd appreciate some help, thanks!
Edit:
I'd like to note that this is not only a problem with the realtime api, but also with the normal API. I just don't know how to compare data so I don't get duplicates in my database(normal api), or on my website (realtime). I can't find any tutorial or documentation (Yes, I might be blind), that explains to me how to compare data. I can only find the min_id and max_id, but no explanation what these id's contains. I checked these id's with id's from results, and they do not match. It's not an ID from a media item.
I also checked the next_url, and in my logic thinking, this should be a URL to the next page (like Twitter).
Am I looking at this all wrong?
Ok strike my old answer, I changed the way I do this. Here's how I'll do it now.
I still wait for 10 hits on my Real-time subscription, when I reach 10 I send off a new thread (if one is not already running).
The sync thread queries my DB for a value, I need the last min_tag_id I used. Then I query:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/*/media/recent?access_token=*&min_tag_id=*
Try it out here: https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/montreal/media/recent?access_token=*
You'll get 20 results, and a min_tag_id value. Append that to your url, you'll see you get no results. Wait a couple of seconds and refresh. Eventually you'll get some media, and a new min_tag_id.
(You can ignore the "next_url" value they give you, you won't be using that).
Basically you only need to store that min_tag_id and query until you have no more results, that means you're done then.
When you get a subscription push, you need to query that endpoint (tag / recent).
I normally start an synchronous thread to perform this so I can answer in under 2 seconds to Instagram.
Then you parse that endpoint and look for a "next url" value.
Keep querying that end point, parsing the media and going to the next url until you find your stop condition.
For me I try to match 10 consecutive records in my DB. Basically from the tag, I store media when then meet my business rules.
The Instagram documentation is accurate and actually well written.
The realtime API is working correctly. As stated in the documentation:
The changed data is not included in the payload, so it is up to you
how you'd like to fetch the new data. For example, you may decide only
to fetch new data for specific users, or after a certain number of
photos have been posted.
http://instagram.com/developer/realtime/
You only receive a notification that an update has happened to your subscribed object. It is up to you to call the API to find out what that data is.
You can call the /tags/[tag-name]/media/recent with an access token that you have previously stored on your own server or DB. Then, you should be able to compare the data returned from that endpoint with any data you have retrieved prior, and just pull the objects that you do not yet have.
Using the Souncloud API, I'd like to retrieve the reposted tracks from my activities. The /me/activities endpoint seems suited for this and I tried the different types provided.
However, I didn't find out how to get that data. Does anyone know?
Replace User Id, limit and offset with what you need:
https://api-v2.soundcloud.com/profile/soundcloud:users:41691970?limit=50&offset=0
You could try the following approach:
Get the users that shared a track via /tracks/{id}/shared-to/users endpoint.
Fetch the tracks postet by this user via /tracks endpoint, as the _user_id_ is contained.
Compare the tracks metadata with the one you originally posted.
I am not into the Soundcloud API, but taking a close look at it seems to make this approach at least as technical possible, though e.g. fetching all tracks won't be a production solution, of course. It's more a hint. Perhaps reposting means something totally different in this context.
And the specified entpoint exists in the general api doc, so I don't know if you would have to extend the java-api-wrapper for using it.
We are working on some analytics using the amount a user is retweeted or mentioned... I can't seem to find a way to get these numbers using the apis does anyone have any ideas?
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?include_entities=true&include_rts=true&screen_name={screen_name}&count={count}
it's important to include the line include_entities=true to the request. This will give you an expanded response including re-tweet and mention counts.
