I am able to restrict venue search to either a country or zip code, but not both.
I am aware the following example is not possible, but what I am trying to achieve is something like this:
https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search?near=COUNTRYCODE&near=ZIPCODE
How can I do this?
You should be able to pass in "[Postal Code], [countrycode]" as a single string into the near parameter and that should work

I am using the Mendeley API to retrieve documents in the profile of a user.
Specifically, I am using this API:
GET https://api.mendeley.com/search/documents?view=all&limit=25&title=ONTOLOGY
I would like to search for all the documents that match a partial term, i.e. instead of the full word "ONTOLOGY" I would like to get the same result if I do an HTTP call like
GET https://api.mendeley.com/search/documents?view=all&limit=25&title=ONTOLO
How can I achieve that?
Should I put any jolly character?
I tried
ONTOLO*
ONTOLO$
ONTOLO?
with no luck.
I haven't found any documentation related to this feature.
Thanks!!
I have been trying to call Wikipedia API to retrieve page id and wikidata item id using below call and it works fine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=pageprops&ppprop=wikibase_item&redirects=1&format=xml&titles=Cat
but I need to retrieve the same information from other languages of my choice for example if I mention German and French languages in my call, it should look for their translation of word Cat and retrieve their page info. There is langlink property in Wikipedia API but somehow it doesn't work with query action along with pageprop.
So ideally, I want something like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=pageprops&ppprop=wikibase_item&prop=langlinks&lllang=de&lllang=fr&titles=Cat
Any help would be appreciated.
Using lllang twice will just result in the second value overwriting the first one. You'll have to omit the paramter and then you get all the links:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=pageprops|langlinks&ppprop=wikibase_item&titles=Cat
If possible, i want to return the results in Json or XML format. Is there any ways to do so? Earlier I did it using freebase.com but it is now deprecated. Please help.
This query would look a lot like the one to get the list of all films on Wikidata but adding another filter:
instead of http://wdq.wmflabs.org/api?q=claim[31:11424] (return all the entities marked as instances of film), you would do
http://wdq.wmflabs.org/api?q=claimCLAIM[31:11424] AND CLAIM[495:884] (return all the entities marked as instances of film and South Korea (Q884) as country of origin (P495))
http://wdq.wmflabs.org/api?q=claimCLAIM[31:11424] AND CLAIM[495:423] (the same for North Korea (Q423))
Then to parse the results and get the entities data, it would be the same as for the list of all the films
Remarques:
you will probably need to encode those URLs to get something that looks like: http://wdq.wmflabs.org/api?q=CLAIM%5B31%3A11424%5D%20AND%20CLAIM%5B495%3A884%5D
here is the full API documentation. Notice that this is an experimental API, which might be replaced in the coming year
The overview on Wikipedia may be more complete than Wikidata, as you've noticed yourself also. However, I could only find overviews per year, such as on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_South_Korean_films_of_2015.
To get a list of titles from that page, you would first retreive the raw wikicode of the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=raw&title=List_of_South_Korean_films_of_2015, and then run a regular expression such as /\{lang\|[^\|]+\|([^\}]+)/g on the code.
This returns a list of 149 titles.
I'm using this API call to Google Maps to get the latitude and longitude of a postal code
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=2340&sensor=false
The postal code is in Australia. This API call returns locations all around the world with partial matching postal codes in the address.
Is there a parameter I can use to set the country to Australia?
Thanks
The correct way to do this is not via region biasing but rather using component filtering:
https://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json
?components=country:AU|postal_code:2340
&sensor=false
Some demonstrations:
2340
93274
Please note that if you use the components parameter, you don't need to specify the address parameter.
The documentation says that Region Biasing is based on CcTLDs, which would make Australia au (haven't tried it myself).
Although it also states this:
Note that biasing only prefers results for a specific domain; if more relevant results exist outside of this domain, they may be included.
I am using FourSquare api for searching a particular business
https://api.foursquare.com/v2/users/search?name=Spa Gregories&oauth_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
it is giving lots of result but not the result i expect. that is
Spa Gregories
2710 Via De La Valle, Ste B-270
San Diego, California 92014
when i use https://foursquare.com/search?q=Spa+Gregories&near=san+diago then i got the exact result. So is their any way to find the business according the location. I have only name and city location to use for Search. I have also checked for the venues option but it asks for longitude and latitude.
thnks
Seems you're hitting the user search endpoint instead of the venue search.
Looks like this is the one you want:
