I'm implementing a Compony newsfeed on a website and ran into the following problem. The LinkedIn API doesn't provide a direct URL to a company update. Looking at the LinkedIn site there are direct URL's and they're like this for example:
https://www.linkedin.com/company/1441/comments?topic=5849556347070205952&type=U&scope=1441&stype=C&a=5uHW&goback=%2Ebzo_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_1441
Trying stuff out it seems that the parameters topic, type, scope, stype and a are mandatory for the URL to work.. (goback is the only one that isn't).
Using the LinkedIn API with the Company updates call I'm able to buid the direct url, except for the a parameter. The value is always 4 (for me unexplainable) characters long.
Has anyone ever successfully build a direct URL to a company update or can someone maybe explain the a parameter or how to generate its value?
Updated to new format
You can link directly to any update (company or user) using the following url:
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:[topic_id]
You can get [topic_id] by getting the last bit of the updateKey in the api response from Linkedin. When updateKey = UPDATE-c7352-6410848097894756353, your topic_id = 6410848097894756353.
In your example that would become https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:5849556347070205952 which links directly to the specific update. The post is too old to work with the new link format
The url used to be
https://www.linkedin.com/nhome/updates/?topic=[topic_id]
Updated thanks to the comment from #sethpollack
For anyone trying to get the topic id from the API response object (as already commented on the OP question), the topic id is the value after the last hyphen of the updateKey property, which can be used with #Daan answer:
"updateKey": "UPDATE-cXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
Direct URL:
https://www.linkedin.com/nhome/updates?topic=[YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY]
Using the URL format above, get the topic_id by opening the update in its own window/tab, look at the page source code in your browser and search for the string :activity: the long number after the string is the infamous topic_id

I already read the documentation and I think I am making the simplest request in the correct way, but it always returns only the IDs, instead of all the fields of the games
Documentation example: Documentation Example
The request header is fine. I know this because I can get the expected request if fields = * as querystring
this is my request:
You have to provide the fields you want inside the body.
Like this:
fields age_ratings,aggregated_rating,aggregated_rating_count,alternative_names,artworks,bundles,category,checksum,collection,cover,created_at,dlcs,expansions,external_games,first_release_date,follows,franchise,franchises,game_engines,game_modes,genres,hypes,involved_companies,keywords,multiplayer_modes,name,parent_game,platforms,player_perspectives,rating,rating_count,release_dates,screenshots,similar_games,slug,standalone_expansions,status,storyline,summary,tags,themes,total_rating,total_rating_count,updated_at,url,version_parent,version_title,videos,websites;"
I'm in a situation where I need to make one GET request to Vimeo and get back info for multiple specific videos. Here is what I have for the query string currently:
https://api.vimeo.com/users/XXXXXXXX/videos?fields=uri,duration,pictures.sizes.link,download&containing_uri=/videos/ID1,/videos/ID2&per_page=2
Unfortunately, this only returns the information for ID2 and the video ID before it in its channel, instead of for both IDs specified. I've also tried appending multiple containing_url fields to no avail. Is there any way to make this happen? I'm using axios in react native if that helps.
Instead of "containing_uri", use "uris" as documented here:
https://developer.vimeo.com/api/common-formats#batch-requests
https://developer.vimeo.com/api/reference/videos#GET/videos
The "containing_uri" parameter will only return the page of the specified uri. The "uris" parameter will return the specified videos/objects. Your request should look like this:
https://api.vimeo.com/users/XXXXXXXX/videos?fields=uri,duration,pictures.sizes.link,download&uris=/videos/ID1,/videos/ID2&per_page=2
I hope this information helps!
Using the new OneDrive API as described on the GitHub page, by the following statement:
GET /drive/root/children?select=name,size
By submitting the request with the select=name,size query string,
the objects in the response will only have those property values
included. However, by default, the id value will always be returned
even if its not specified.
Still the problem is id is not returning in response by default (as claimed above on GitHub page), only those properties that are mention in select query is return in response.
Looks like a bug in our docs. Thanks for pointing it out! This is expected behavior. When you provide a 'select' statement the API will only return the properties you ask for.
I was also able to reproduce this and the "id" is not returned. It is returned when you include it in the query. (i.e. drive/root/children?select=id, name, size).
This is how my url looks be:
https://www.google.com/reader/api/0/mark-all-as-read?s=http://www.campionatoseriea.net&ts=1345114937
I can't understand why it doesn't work! I'm successfully logged in.
* EDIT *
https://www.google.com/reader/api/0/mark-all-as-read?s=feed/http://www.campionatoseriea.net/feed&ts=1346843394
I tried also this query but it doesn't work!
Try including the token parameter (T).
https://www.google.com/reader/api/0/mark-all-as-read?s=feed/http://www.campionatoseriea.net/feed&ts=1346843394&T=//cDr2ct8ynZS2I-P4x4cn1A
This document describes how to get a token.
?s=http://www.campionatoseriea.net
In the s you must pass the feed ID, not url. Here is example:
?s=feed/http://www.gsmarena.com/rss-news-reviews.php3
I am using Buzz REST API to retrieve all the buzz public updates from 1-08-2011 to 28-082011 and my query term is 'lokpal'. I need to get all the updates that people did about this topic or any other activity with tag 'Anna Hazere'. I have prepared the URL that is:
REST GET URL
https://www.googleapis.com/buzz/v1/activities/search?key=AIzaSyD7O9D4uEFyEexRPtxaU1fCsh0yu5leum4&q=lokpal+date%3E2011-07-31+date%3C2011-08-28&alt=json&max-results=100&safe=medium
where %3E refers to '>' and %3C refers to '<' .
Can someone suggest me how to apply paging property to this and also retrieve all the updates that happened ion public stream. I am already able to get the activities in JSON format but want all the public updates.
Refer:http://code.google.com/apis/buzz/v1/using_rest.html
Within the body of the response is a links structure. One of the links is the next link, which is the URL for page 2. In your case, that would be:
https://www.googleapis.com/buzz/v1/activities/search?q=lokpal+date%3E2011-07-31+date%3C2011-08-28&alt=json&max-results=100&c=100
