How to generate the USER_AGENT for AdWords API script - google-oauth

What is the most effective way to generate the USER_AGENT in order to pull data from the AdWords-API using Python? This value is the last value I need to be able to pull data. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
user_agent: INSERT_USER_AGENT_HERE

Thankfully, I figured out how to resolve this. As noted here:
http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.ca/2013/11/please-set-user-agent-or-application.html
the USER_AGENT field is an optional field. The AdWords, DFP, and DFA APIs can take a user agent string in the SOAP headers, and the client libraries all allow you to set this string in their configuration files. That said, it is in your own best interests to set this value to something unique and useful for each of your applications.

How to add medianet with Prebid and Google Ad Manager

I am implementing Prebid.js. I am trying to work with Medianet. I keep getting an error response from the Medianet server: {"ext":{"nbr":"server_err_cfg"}}.
Support from Media.net hasn't responded yet. Any ideas on what can be the best solution to this? Also, do I need to have hb_pb for the key value in DFP (Google Ad Manager) or do I need to setup the line items with hb_pbmedianet?
Thanks.
You don't need separate key values for medianet (hb_pbmedianet) unless you are using sendAllBids configuration with Prebid.
Sounds like the IDs you are passing to the Media.net adapter are incorrect.
I would check them again again and be sure you are passing the right parameters to the ad unit. According to the Medianet docs, you need a cid and crid, both strings. Make sure these are 100% correct.

Neto API Limitations

I'm currently attempting to integrate with the Neto Ecommerce API. I've hit all sorts of limitations that I never see on other platforms and the latest is to do with custom fields.
The API Im using is the GetOrders API, and Im following the requirements to fetch transaction information, however custom fields appear to be missing. Hoping someone out there has made use of this API to extract custom fields and can advise on how to go about getting custom field information.
Any tips appreciated
var netoString = '{"Filter":{"OrderID":[""],"OutputSelector":["ID","ShippingOption","DeliveryInstruction","RelatedOrderID","cust1"]};
Is there an undocumented naming convention used to fetch custom fields or other pattern I can try to see if I can fetch the data?
I am not certain this will be the same for the API, but when using exports the correct format to access Custom Sales Order Fields is "customer_ref1".
To get a Custom Customer Fields is "usercustom1"
Note: For the Custom Customer Fields, the numbers do not match up correctly (I.E. usercustom1 doesn't match misc1 in the cpanel). The correct matches are:
misc1=usercustom1
misc2=usercustom4
misc3=usercustom5
misc4=usercustom6
misc5=usercustom7
misc6=usercustom11
misc7=usercustom12
misc8=usercustom13
misc9=usercustom14
misc10=usercustom15
misc11=usercustom16
misc12=usercustom17
misc13=usercustom18
misc14=usercustom19
misc15=usercustom20
misc16=usercustom21
misc17=usercustom22
misc18=usercustom23
misc19=usercustom24
misc20=usercustom25
misc21=usercustom10
misc22=usercustom26
misc23=usercustom27
misc24=usercustom28
misc25=usercustom29
misc26=usercustom30
misc27=usercustom31
misc28=usercustom32
misc29=usercustom33
misc30=usercustom34
misc31=usercustom35
misc32=usercustom36

How do I use the query parameters in the Dark Sky Forecast API ?(forecast.io)

I'm using the Dark Sky Forecast API to retrieve some weather information.
When I read the official doc, I found that the "option" section describes the usage of query parameters.
For example,
The API request may optionally be modified through the use of query parameters. It will respond to the following:
callback=[callback]: Return the API response as JSONP. Please use
caution when using this, since exposing your API key to the public is
a security hazard and, if abused, will result in the revokation of
your API key. However, if developing a personal- or internal-use app,
this is a convenient method of doing so.
units=[setting]: Return the
API response in units other than the default Imperial units. In
particular, the following settings are possible:
us: The default, as outlined above.
si: Returns results in SI units. In particular, properties now have the following units:
...
I know how to get the weather information by take advantages of the call
https://api.forecast.io/forecast/APIKEY/LATITUDE,LONGITUDE
But I don't know how to combine the query parameters with it.
Any ideas?
2015/10/23 UPDATE
Thank to Logan Kearns, using ? parameter solved my question. Make sure the query parameters are in lowercase.
https://api.forecast.io/forecast/APIKEY/LATITUDE,LONGITUDE?lang=zh-tw&units=si
This is how you change the units. I assume that other query parameters would be set in a similar manner, using the '?' to separate them.
https://api.forecast.io/forecast/APIKEY/LATITUDE,LONGITUDE?UNITS=us
Just an update, since url changed and with few other parameters:
You can add units to mention the type of unit conversion required
You can add exclude for excluding certain data in the response like hourly updates.

Date range search using Google Custom Search API

I am using the Google Custom Search API to search for images. My implementation is using Java, and this is how I build my search string:
URL url = new URL("https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images?"
+ "v=1.0&q=barack%20obama&userip=INSERT-USER-IP");
How would I modify the URL to limit search results, for example, to: 2014-08-15 and 2014-09-31?
You can specify a date range using the sort parameter. For your example, you would add this to your query string: sort=date:r:20140815:20140931.
This is documented at https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/structured_data#page_dates
Also if you use Google's Java API you can use the Query class and its setSort() method rather than building the URL by hand.
I think the better way is to put this into query itself. Query parameter contains 'after' flag which can be used like:
https://customsearch.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?
key=<api_key>&
cx=<search_engine_id>&
q="<your_search_word> after:<YYYY-MM-DD>"

How to specify multiple values on siteSearch in google custom search api?

I'm using the google custom search api and want to create a search using the siteSearch:
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=k&cx=cx&q=cocos2d&siteSearch=www.cocos2d-iphone.org&siteSearchFilter=i
and it works fine (returns all the result only from the given site).
Then I want to specify TWO sites to search so I tried to change the :
siteSearch=www.cocos2d-iphone.org
to
siteSearch=www.cocos2d-iphone.org www.XXXXXXXX.org
siteSearch=www.cocos2d-iphone.org|www.XXXXXXXX.org
siteSearch=www.cocos2d-iphone.org||www.XXXXXXXX.org
but none of these works.
hope someone can help here, thanks:)
Currently I don't believe you can specify more site through the query param siteSearch.
nevertheless you can configure your Custom Search Engine here: https://www.google.com/cse/manage/all
in the "Site to search" area.
This also works for excluding, as you can read here: https://support.google.com/customsearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2631038&topic=2601037&ctx=topic
You cannot do this with the as_sitesearch parameter as that only accepts a single value. But you can achieve what you want with the as_q parameter, setting it to some value like: "site:google.com OR site:microsoft.com" - that will work in a similar way to this search.
The as_q parameter is documented here as:
The as_q parameter provides search terms to check for in a document.
This parameter is also commonly used to allow users to specify
additional terms to search for within a set of search results.
Examples q=president&as_q=John+Adams
Use "space" as seperator
Below is sample PHP code which works for me
$url="https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=k&cx=cx&q=cocos2d&siteSearch=".urlencode("www.cocos2d-iphone.org www.XXXXXXXX.org")."&siteSearchFilter=i"
