Generate image for human checking - api

Some website when we login failure for multiple time(like hotmail, gmail), it will pop a picture, and ask us to key in the word in the picture.
May I know is there any API or code online to generate such a picture on the fly for this purpose?

Captcha is the current terminology, you see the detailed in the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha

Buildfire: API link with free text survey

I want to link the free text questionnaire with a data collation software using an API but am unsure how to do so as previous times I’ve always received the API link from the survey generation whereas the BuildFire plug-in asks for a link to post them to.
I’m not quite sure how to link them as I’m assuming maybe I need a middle link where BuildFire posts it somewhere and that then sends it to the data collator?

Can I track if someone clicked a link on my Twitter post

I have a private business Twitter account and I would like to know when someone clicks any link inside one of my posts. This solution cannot assume that we know the form of the link being posted.
For example a twitter post like this:
Have you guys heard of this amazing site called google?
I would like to see how many people clicked on this google.com link. I don't need to know any specific information about who they are, just if it was clicked or not.
Ideally I would want this from the API but crawlers and plugins are also possible. I would like to avoid using a paid tool but those would be acceptable.
I think you have multiple choices:
Use google firebase or google analytics
Create your own short link services by python or any other programming languages.
Just search in the google and look for short link generators which gives appropriate service.
Hi using the twitter api you should be able to understand how many clicks a link has.

But to have all this info automated you might need to use a third-party tool.
This should be the most straight forward solution.

Deep link to open a webpage where user can submit form which then takes him to app download page

I am completely new to branch.io. And I am trying to incorporate this into my project. I have a use case where a person will send an invite link using branch to attend a meeting. Also this link should be unique to the invitee. Once user receives a message with link he will click on the link and it should take him to a webpage(my own)/Deepview(branch.io), where he should be able to submit the form which will register him for the event. Once he finishes the registration, show him the page where there is a download app link.
So far I looked into branch.io documentation but i am confused what all features i should use. This is what i found so far. let me know if this is suitable for my use case or not.
For the first scenario of sending unique links i was thinking of using branch.io API as this is what their website suggests
Secondly on click of link taking user to some landing page. this is the part where i am very confused. I didn't find any article which says i can submit a form in Deepview. Or do i have to use my own webpage where user will submit the form and then get that information and send it to braze to create another Deeplink which will take user to app download page.
Please suggest me the features of branch.io, that I should use for my use-case

How to display my organization details on right side of the google SERP?

When searching on Google, some organization details will display on the right side of the search result page that are realetd to my keywords.
Anybody knows how to display our data on that side?
See this example:
I found this great resource that goes into step by step instructions on how to do this. source: https://www.searchenginejournal.com/how-to-optimize-your-site-for-googles-answer-box/166084/
Here are the quick highlights:
To summarize, here’s what you should do if you have a website and want to get clicks from search in relation to a Google Answer Box.
Start by finding out if there is a Google Answer Box that relates to
content on your website or content that you could create for your
website, as shown in the examples above.
Create content that matches the Google Answer Box, goes into more
depth, and make sure it is using the correct markup.
Aim to be either the source of the Google Answer Box or the closest
to the Google Answer Box as you can get.
Make sure your page’s SEO title and meta description tell the
searcher you have even better information than the Google Answer Box
to encourage them to click on your link. Also, make sure it includes
the query the person would search to find the Google Answer Box.
Build links to your Google Answer Box content using anchor text that
matches the Google Answer Box call to action (if you have software)
or the query the person would search to find the Google Answer Box.
I am playing around with some free Wordpress plugins that automatically add schema. You can view more on SEO and other marketing help on my blog here: http://www.renowebdesigner.com
First, you need to have GMB Page for your website and make sure that your profile is 100% updated. It is called a knowledge graph. Basically, there are two types of graph,
Local Knowledge Graph
Branded Knowledge Graph
I hope that you have updated the following things on GMB page:
Business name
Business category & sub-category
Services which your offering
Contact num
Website link & appointment link
Explain about your business
Mark the exact location on the map
Add labels
To implement the knowledge graph for your business. I'm not aware of which website platform you're using.
Case1: If you're using WP website you can directly download knowledge graph plugin and update all your social links. At the same time make sure that your website doesn't have any issues. Check with structured data testing tool.
Case2: If you developed a website on another platform I request you to implement schema.org on the website with the help of the developer. The complete guide is available in webmaster tools.
Hope I have answered your question.
That’s coming from Google’s Knowledge Graph.
If you are the "authority" (e.g., for a search for "google", the authority is Google), structured data on your site can be used by Google to show more information in that sidebar. That would be Knowledge Graph cards (details). An example is Corporate Contacts.

How to View a Google Spreadsheet Doc as a PDF

I would like to know if it's possible to view a Google Spreadsheet Doc as a PDF without first manually converting it as a PDF? I don't want to share a link directly to the spreadsheet, I want to share a link to a PDF version of it which ends up looking better (in Print View rather than Spreadsheet Document View)
I know I can Print > Save as PDF, then download to local machine, then upload and save somewhere on my server. But is there is a way to be able to view the spreadsheet as a PDF.
I have Google'd this and found nothing. The best I could come up with is the Google Document Viewer (https://docs.google.com/viewer) but that does not seem to give mt the option I am looking for. Further, I do not want to install any Chrome plugins, etc. because I want to be able to share a link to the PDF with people but not have to have them install a plugin to see the doc.
Unfortunately, what you are trying to do and the way you are trying to do it is not a capability within Google Docs. Sorry.
I think the best way is to use Google Drive API to write own script that will do this job. I mean:
You have a web server
Write a simple method in any web technology, such as PHP, Python, Java, C#, whatever you like and your server is able to serve. This method is connected to the google drive through it's API to your account, knows which spreadsheet to take care of and how to understand the columns. This spread should be parsed to HTML and with some popular tool (proper for your programming language or server's operating system) you create the PDF. The method should create HTTP response with header type: application/pdf.
You provide interested people with the link under which your method is available.
I guess this reference should help you to use Google API:
How to download the resources:

How to convert (i.e. to PDF) and open the resources in your own application:

I hope this helps.
