I am playing around with Github's API and I noticed that they allow anyone to request all users that have signed up in chronological order.
https://api.github.com/users
http://developer.github.com/v3/users/
I was trying to get the second page but for some reason their pagination isn't working for me. I wasn't sure what I was doing wrong.
https://api.github.com/users?page=2
https://api.github.com/users?start_page=2
http://developer.github.com/v3/ Under "Pagination".
Anyone know the right way to do this?
Check out the returned HTTP headers for the https://api.github.com/users resource. Specifically, look for the Link header, which will look like this:
Link:<https://api.github.com/users?since=135>; rel="next", <https://api.github.com/users{?since}>; rel="first"
So, what you need to do is do an HTTP GET on https://api.github.com/users?since=135 to get the next page. After that, check the Link header again and you will get to the next page, etc. Also notice the provided URI template https://api.github.com/users{?since} which enables you to start at any id.

I'm trying to scrape data from a website but I have no experience with scraping or APIs except for making a Discord Bot once. So I followed the steps described here to find the API:
http://www.gregreda.com/2015/02/15/web-scraping-finding-the-api
The Request URL in the Headers tab with the important information is this one:
https://api.amiami.com/api/v1.0/item?gcode=FIGURE-119023&lang=eng
When I try to open this page, like he does, it only returns:
{"RSuccess":false,"RValue":{"HttpStatusCode":400},"RMessage":"Invalid access."}
If you want to try getting the Request URL yourself, the original page I used was:
https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-119023
Removing the language argument doesn't seem to change anything either. So I guess there's something that detects that I'm not accessing it in a normal way. Any Ideas on how to fix this?
I'm looking at the API documentation here,
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query
Getting the wikitext for a page is mentioned in the beginning of the documentation,
The action=query module allows you to get information about a wiki and the data stored in it, such as the wikitext of a particular page, the links and categories of a set of pages, or the token you need to change wiki content.
but I cant seem to figure out what parameters to pass in the API request to return the wikitext for a given page. Anyone know how to do this?
I've tried parameters like,
{'action':'query', 'titles':'Anarchism', 'prop':'wikitext', 'format':'json'}
You must use this query .
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&format=json&titles=Anarchism&rvslots=main
We have created a custom App using Rally SDK. We are providing link to this app in a custom field in USER story. Once we click on this link, it gets redirected to the App. Within this app, we want know from which User story it has redirected from.
For the same purpose we are making use of document.referrer. However, it only returns 'https://rally1.rallydev.com' and not the complete URL.
Based on our research, we come to know that meta tag for refferer with appropriate value has to be mentioned in the web page to get the complete URL. Which we think is not mentioned in this case.
Please correct if our understanding is wrong.
It will be very helpful if you could suggest any alternatives to achieve this.
I am trying to to add a custom Tumblr follow button to my site and I've been trying to figure out how the follow api works.
I've been using https://apigee.com/console/tumblr to test various requests and so for I can make the get requests work, but not the post requests. Specifically, I would like to be able to follow a blog.
For instance, if i want to follow mcupdate The post request should look like this
http://api.tumblr.com/v2/user/follow?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmcupdate.tumblr.com
This returns 404 page not found. As do any and all variations that I can think of. Since the get requests work fine, I am assuming that the credentials that apigee.com generates are fine. Does anyone know what is the problem?
Thanks.
I'm trying to get a user's mentions using the Twitter REST API, but I'm not getting any response when I call.
I'm basically just trying to hit the URL they specify in the link I provided. I'm trying to get mentions by a specific user.
Here are the URLs I've tried, and none of them work (they all return blank pages):
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/mentions.json
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/mentions.json?screen_name=ludjanio
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/mentions.json?screen_name=ludjanio&include_entities=true
This API end-point requires authorization through OAuth. Besides all that, this API end-point doesn't accept the parameter screen_name. Full documentation of this API end point can be found here, https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/statuses/mentions
If you want to get the mentions of an entirely different person, there is no direct API for this. But you can do a search for #, this is how most apps do this.
