I have read the documentation on this without any luck. Basically what I want to accomplish, is being able to search after a term - say "food", and get back a list over places where you are likely to get/buy food. If I use the query in my request, it matches the search word against venue name, which is not what I want.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Which search endpoint are you trying to use, /venues/search or /venues/explore?
For your situation it sounds like you should use /venues/explore with a url param of section=food

I'm trying to generate multiple related hashtags based on the keyword entered by the user. For example: if the user has typed 'meme', it would generate multiples hashtags related to it (memes, funny memes)
I looked for an Instagram API but didn't find any such endpoints. There are lots of sites and apps available over this thing. Can anyone suggest to me how this would work? I'm not expecting you to do work for me. Just need your guidance on this? Is there any way to achieve this?
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/guides/hashtag-search/ (I goes over all the endpoint but didn't find it, is there any other way to achieve it?)
Demo:- https://toolzu.com/hashtag-generator-for-instagram/ (this brings related hashtags, difficulty and number of times each hashtag has been used)
This api returns hashtags related to a keyword. It's easy to use with axios. Downside is a the limited number of free calls

Good luck
I am trying to use the OpenAlex API: https://docs.openalex.org/api
This API provides access to a catalog of scholarly papers, authors, institutions, etc...
It is easy enough to make a query for an institution's information such. Here is an example from the API docs:
https://api.openalex.org/I19820366
I am trying to figure out how to get a specific institution's ID.
In the docs, there is a statement that this ID number is Microsoft Academic Graph's institutional ID: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/microsoft-academic-graph/
But I have been unable to figure out anything in Microsoft Academic Graph either.
How can I find the institutional ID for a specific institution?
I am a beginner, and I also just started to retrieve data from the OpenAlex API. For me, the easiest way was either to use the ROR id or the GRID id, which you can both look up for any institution either here: https://www.grid.ac/ or here: https://ror.org/
Then you use either ROR or GRID-ID as an identifier (https://docs.openalex.org/about-the-data/institution#ids) and that identifier as a filter, as specified in the API documentation.
Be aware, that except for the Institution-ID, that you want to find, all the other institutional IDs, like ROR or GRID, have to be put in your request as a full URL. Take the example of the Johns Hopkins University. It's not enough to put their ROR like this: "00za53h95", you have to put in the API request like that: "https://ror.org/00za53h95" (without the quotes) or else it won't work. In my example, a request could look like this:
https://api.openalex.org/institutions/https://ror.org/00za53h95
This will deliver a nice json file with all the info you need, including the institution's ID in the database. Save the information as a file by using a cURL GET request or just do it via your browser and get the result as a webpage, both works. If you do the latter, you should follow the suggestion of the OpenAlex team and install a browser plugin like JSONVue, that will make the experience of reading the result on your screen so much better.
Hope that helps.
You can use the OpenAlex API to search for the ID like this:
https://api.openalex.org/institutions?filter=display_name.search:University%20of%20Virginia
In addition to Heather's comment, I'd like to add that we can now go to https://explore.openalex.org/ and search for any entity. Start typing "Johns Hopkins University" and you'll get to this page: https://explore.openalex.org/institutions/I145311948 which has all the identifiers (including the openalex id I145311948) and additional information about this institution.
I am trying to get the twitter name, website, and markets for any cryptocurrency listed on coinmarketcap.
For example:
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin shows all of the data that I need but how would I parse the data listed on that page to get the twitter name and website associated with bitcoin?
Don't try to parse the data on that page if you are trying to use it in an application. If you are doing it for a one time data collection then maybe that is OK. There is absolutely no guarantee that the format will remain consistent or that the information will even be there tomorrow.
You should try to find an API that gives you the information that you are looking for. An API is a contract that is expected to be honored and therefore is reliable. A quick look at CoinMarketCap's API doesn't appear to have the info you are looking for but maybe another one exists that does.
If you were to parse the HTML you could write a regex for the specific thing you are looking for. For example if you want to get the website you could write a regex that would pick up the pattern:
Website
the capture group ([^"]+) is the website in this example. You could do something like that for every element you want to get.
I'm writing a search engine for wikipedia articles using lucene on the wiki xml dump and I want to calculate the accuracy of the engine when compared to google wiki result on a particular query, when I give "site:en.wikipedia.org" along with the query. I want to do it for multiple queries so I'm getting the google search result URLs manually. I got Google APIs to use a bot to search Google but the problem is I want to get rid off certain type of results like
"/Category:"
"/icon:"
"/file:"
"/photo:"
and user pages.
But I haven't found a convenient way to do this except for using an iterative method of issuing a query, get n number of results, then filter out by using regular expressions, then retrieve the remaining (n-x) results and so on. Google keeps blocking me when I do that.
Is there an intelligent way to get Google results the way I want using Java?
Thanks in advance guys.
You could just try excluding those pages from the Google results, like this:
living people site:en.wikipedia.org -inurl:category -inurl:category_talk -inurl:file -inurl:file_talk -inurl:user -inurl:user_talk
We would like to be able to pull out certain places from foursquare an categorize them on our website along with comments from foursquare users. I have the following questions:
1- Can we pull out places and categorize them the way we want on our website? e.g: restaurants/bar/lounge/club/landmarks/others.
2- can we pull out as well phone numbers (when available) and addresses (longitude-lattitude) of places ?
3- Does foursquare have any general descriptive summaries of each place?
Thanks for the help.

Foursquare has an API, more information can be found at this link
To answer your questions:
Yes, check out the Venues Platform in 4sq API, specifically, the search. When you query the API, as part of the result set for each venue, you get a category
If available, you will get them back under the 'contact' field, check out the response venue object from the search function
Yes, description field, you will need to make an API request to get the complete venue object.
Edit: one last thing, attribute and play nice :)
From my experience, you do not get a lot of venues with 'contact' and 'description' information. But foursquare is not very popular where I test my application, so it might be bad experience - experiment with it yourself.
FourSquare has a great category tree that you can use for categorizing restaurants

Actually, I'm using this tree in my website:
