I am trying to get some information about the post people do in google plus. In particular I am interested in the "+1"'s.
Either from the google api or directly from the google plus web site you can get the total count and name of the people who did "+1". But, I would be interested in getting the time or timestamp of the "+1"'s. Does anyone knows if it is possible or how can I do that?
Help is always appreciated
Thanks to all,
As you can see at https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/activities, the only data we return for a +1 is a list of the +1-ers, as well as the total number of people who +1'ed the item you are looking at.
If you would like to request additional data, please file a feature request in our Issue Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/google-plus-platform/issues/list. It would really help if you could be as detailed as possible in the type of data you would like to see and how you would ideally use that data.
If you're dealing with your own website and only care about +1s for pages on your own domain, you could use Google Analytic's social information to see how +1s change over time. You wouldn't get information about who did the +1ing.

So I have a client that wants to do a Google Ad campaign for certain locations. From what we gathered, you can set up location of interest and pass on a parameter {loc_physical_ms} that can be used to get some details based on that ID. My question is, how do I access that info? Is it by using an API? I did looked at the reference here:
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting
But it is not explained how I can use that ID on my website to get something like the ZIP code and city of the click. I been looking around, but to no avail. Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Ok, found the solution. So for anyone that may come across this, that link I have above provides you with a CSV with the latest Geo Target list. I was under the impression that Google would provide an API for us to use, but that is not the case here. You will have to import that data into your database, and then use it from there. So once you have that data in your database, you can then just make a query that will use the ID from the parameter {loc_physical_ms} from the database as reference for your query.
We are trying to analyze the twitter Topsy API for twitter searches for our application.
the results are returning back 3 dates which are:
a.) 'trackback_date'
b.) 'target_birth_date'
c.) 'firstpost_date'
i need to extract the time the tweet was done not sure which of these dates refer to that, whether they are the same or could be different in some case. Any link which explains the result field names with their actual meanings or at least help on the above.
Any help in this regard highly appreciated
Thanks

You likely want trackback_date.
Consider the tweet: https://twitter.com/vipulved/status/314803292356096000
If you searched for "non-native platforms", Topsy API will return the gothick.org.uk URL shared in the tweet.
The trackback date on the result will be the date of the tweet.
The target_birth_date will be the date of the first tweet ever that linked to gothick.org.uk URL. This is a proxy for when the link was created.
We are working on some analytics using the amount a user is retweeted or mentioned... I can't seem to find a way to get these numbers using the apis does anyone have any ideas?
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?include_entities=true&include_rts=true&screen_name={screen_name}&count={count}
it's important to include the line include_entities=true to the request. This will give you an expanded response including re-tweet and mention counts.

Update:
to get tweets from the last 90 days, there is a Node.js library you can use called Snapbird
https://github.com/remy/snapbird
.. and here is another resource covering the same topic.
http://blog.tweetsmarter.com/twitter-search/10-ways-and-20-features-for-searching-old-tweets/
For some reason, when searching on one specific Twitter user, the search API return nothing. (ie http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=+from%3ATWITTERHANDLE_A) TWITTERHANDLE_A here is the Twitter account name. This user has been active for over a month, has had many RTs, #s and has sent such tweets out as well.
Meanwhile, I created a new Twitter account - we will call it TWITTERHANDLE_B. Immediately after I created the account, I sent 1 tweet and performed the same search as above (http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=+from%3ATWITTERHANDLE_B)
The tweet was returned.
Is there ANYWAY to find out if and/or why a particular user would be blocked from search results? Thanks so much for any help... I'm going crazy here. Twitter's documentation just says sometimes a user's tweets won't be searched!
The documentation you refer to has a link to this page:
http://support.twitter.com/forums/10713/entries/42646
The bottom entry addresses your issue, hopefully you can fix it that way.
Bear in mind the search API only grabs results from the last couple of weeks, so if the user hasn't tweeted in a while then there won't be any results.
You could try not using the Search API and grab the results directly:
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/-username-.json
Works fine for http requests at least... >_<
My question pretty much says it all: I'm looking for a way to display Amazon Marketplace listings based on an item lookup. Example: If I do a call to ItemLookup with an ASIN of 0590353403 (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), I'm looking for a result set of perhaps the top ten new or used Marketplace listings, preferably with seller information attached.
I apologize if this is clearly documented somewhere, but I have been looking all through the Amazon API docs and on Google to no avail. StackOverflow doesn't seem to have any Related Questions that match what I'm asking, either.
Thanks in advance!
After some further research, it seems I've found what I was looking for. In order to get a listing of all sale offers -- not just those from Amazon itself -- you must specify the MerchantId parameter in your query to the web service. This parameter can take on a few different values: "Amazon" (default), "All," "Featured," or a specific Merchant ID.
To get all the offer information, including seller names and the like, you must also submit the parameter ResponseGroup with the value "OfferFull."
Hope this helps somebody else out down the line! :-)
