When calling the Rally WSDL API I receive very large numbers for the "Rank" field, e.g. 500000011520, but I would like the get the rank in the backlog, e.g. #1. Does anyone know how I can find or compute the rank in the backlog?
In REST, there are Ranking arguments for the create endpoint:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.39/hierarchicalrequirement/create?rankTo=TOP
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.39/hierarchicalrequirement/create?rankTo=BOTTOM
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.39/hierarchicalrequirement/create?rankAbove="/hierarchicalrequirement/12345678910"
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.39/hierarchicalrequirement/create?rankBelow="/hierarchicalrequirement/12345678910"
Unfortunately these are REST-only tools - Rally's SOAP API doesn't have analogous functionality. I'd encourage you to look at Rally's REST toolkits - they are definitely more flexible than Rally's SOAP.
REST Toolkits are outlined here:

I am trying to use the OpenAlex API: https://docs.openalex.org/api
This API provides access to a catalog of scholarly papers, authors, institutions, etc...
It is easy enough to make a query for an institution's information such. Here is an example from the API docs:
https://api.openalex.org/I19820366
I am trying to figure out how to get a specific institution's ID.
In the docs, there is a statement that this ID number is Microsoft Academic Graph's institutional ID: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/microsoft-academic-graph/
But I have been unable to figure out anything in Microsoft Academic Graph either.
How can I find the institutional ID for a specific institution?
I am a beginner, and I also just started to retrieve data from the OpenAlex API. For me, the easiest way was either to use the ROR id or the GRID id, which you can both look up for any institution either here: https://www.grid.ac/ or here: https://ror.org/
Then you use either ROR or GRID-ID as an identifier (https://docs.openalex.org/about-the-data/institution#ids) and that identifier as a filter, as specified in the API documentation.
Be aware, that except for the Institution-ID, that you want to find, all the other institutional IDs, like ROR or GRID, have to be put in your request as a full URL. Take the example of the Johns Hopkins University. It's not enough to put their ROR like this: "00za53h95", you have to put in the API request like that: "https://ror.org/00za53h95" (without the quotes) or else it won't work. In my example, a request could look like this:
https://api.openalex.org/institutions/https://ror.org/00za53h95
This will deliver a nice json file with all the info you need, including the institution's ID in the database. Save the information as a file by using a cURL GET request or just do it via your browser and get the result as a webpage, both works. If you do the latter, you should follow the suggestion of the OpenAlex team and install a browser plugin like JSONVue, that will make the experience of reading the result on your screen so much better.
Hope that helps.
You can use the OpenAlex API to search for the ID like this:
https://api.openalex.org/institutions?filter=display_name.search:University%20of%20Virginia
In addition to Heather's comment, I'd like to add that we can now go to https://explore.openalex.org/ and search for any entity. Start typing "Johns Hopkins University" and you'll get to this page: https://explore.openalex.org/institutions/I145311948 which has all the identifiers (including the openalex id I145311948) and additional information about this institution.
I need to adjust the bittrex api for a client:
the LIMIT_BUY or LIMIT_SELL (and CANCEL) orders work so far.
But he got a problem with Partial Fills. The api doc. on their website doesn't mention these options, which in the web interface exist.
So we were wondering if someone knows if these options ( as described here: https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/202227464-What-is-Time-in-Force- )
may be available for Orders via the bittrex api.
Thank you!
Yes, these orders are available. The partial fills you are experiencing can be the result of not enough liquidity in the best available bid / ask price. An immediate or cancel order will either fill the order or cancel it in the same request.
If you are still having trouble, there are alternatives to using the Bittrex API. You could try using the Shrimpy Developers API. They connect to exchanges and handle all the complexities so you don't need to. You can find information about their APIs here: https://developers.shrimpy.io/
I've just started looking at the documentation as we are going to need to integrate Salesforce with Social Tables shortly, so I am really new to Social Tables.
Specifically, we will need to sync data between the CRM and Social Tables Events and Guests, and maybe other objects, so it would be very helpful to have a data model or similar to check the relationships and fields available in Social Tables architecture.
I haven't found anything in the documentation, is there any way to get this, even if it's at a high level?
Thanks
Danny
To make an integration with SocialTables you'll have to do a few manual steps, there is no way to do this completely programmatic from my experience. You'll also have to be prepared to contact SocialTables to get get correct guestlist ids. Also keep in mind that the API documentation isn't always correct, the API logic is also quite difficult to understand from time to time.
The first thing you need to do is figure out which version of the Venue Mapper you use. You'd want to use the 4.0 api and as far as I know this version of the api is only supported by Venue Mapper 3.0. I believe the Venue Mapper 3.0 is the frontend tool SocialTables provides to do the venue planning.
In social tables an event has two ids, one numerical one and one alpha-numerical one, when you use the 4.0/events endpoint you only get the alpha-numerical event id, and your going to need the numerical one. The only way I've been able to get the numerical id is to pull it out from the url when using the Venue Mapper, example of the url follows below:
https://plan.socialtables.com/team/{team_id}/event/{event_id}/space/{space_id}
Now you need to get the guestlist id, you can get that by using the following url, using the numerical event id:
GET https://api.socialtables.com/4.0/diagrams?event={numerical_event_id}
This endpoint return a json structure where one of the parameters is "guestlist_id".
Please be aware that the guestlist id you get from this endpoint might not be the correct one. I struggled quite a bit with this part and ended up with SocialTables sending me the guestlist id by email.
To get the guests in your guestlist use the following api endpoint:
GET https://api.socialtables.com/4.0/guestlists/{guestlist_id}
The {guestlist_id} is an alpha-numerical string similar to: cfdac1c0-yb1d-12e6-84a5-a39e92131645
And by that you should hopefully get access to your guests.
Hey thanks for using our API.
To answer your question, the best way to see the data model at the moment is to access our developer portal and use the API console to see what is returned. For events you will need to know the team id of the team you are working with use the team events endpoint to get access to the event ids.
https://developer.socialtables.com/api-console#!/Events/get_4_0_legacyvm3_teams_team_events
This will return some basic information about each event for that team. You can then request additional details for specific events by using this endpoint:
https://developer.socialtables.com/api-console#!/Events/get_4_0_legacyvm3_events_event
I'm working on REST Api suing Python Flask, as I have more and more routes, its hard to manage all the resource urls.
Right now, I'm confused which one is better practices of URL parameters. Examples below:
Get a list of courses with limits:
/courses/<int:lim> OR /courses/list?lim=10
Get a specific course:
/courses/<code>/<section> OR /courses/show?code=cs100§ion=1
Get a list of students in specific course:
/courses/<code>/<section>/students OR /students/show?code=cs100§ion=1
Should I pass query parameters using / or by doing ?
The only reason I'm using / is that there's no conflict in query.
If I have these two URL for two different queries, how can I fix it so I can query base on the parameters:
/students/show?code=cs100§ion=1 (Get all students in that course)
/students/show?id=123456789 (Get the specific student)
The URL should identify a resource or collection of resources. Any options you want to give the client, such as pagination, limits, filtering, sorting, etc. I think is best to include in the query string or in HTTP headers.
So regarding your specific questions:
Get a list of courses with limits: /courses/<int:lim> OR /courses/list?lim=10
Neither one. Use /courses?lim=10. No need to have a /list component, that is an action, not a resource.
Get a specific course: /courses/<code>/<section> OR /courses/show?code=cs100§ion=1
The first. Once again, /courses/show indicates an action, you want URLs to be links to resources, in this case your course.
Get a list of students in specific course: /courses/<code>/<section>/students OR /students/show?code=cs100§ion=1
The first, same reason as the previous one.

Context
I am in the process of providing some consultancy on doing a HTTP GET using YouTube Data API V3; in order to develop a Windows based application to GET a list of results from Youtube, for say a specific CATEGORY, or a specific TAG.
We are open to using any programming language(I'm from a C++ background and am hoping You tube will support direct HTTP connections without using Google client SDK and so on) to connect to YouTube and (HTTP) GET data.(Once a month or so, so YouTube API quotas should not be problem).
The Issue
We are being told by some of my client's web developers that YouTube API v3 will only return a maximum of 500 records/results, for say a query that returns JUST the Total viewers, the Video's link, and basic meta data such as that.
S, say I wish to find 5,000 results for category "House music" or "basketball" - and I have the Developer Key etc are all set up, would that be possible?
If so, what GET fields would I need to populate(such as "max_results_per_page")?
Thank you.
The API won't provide more than ~500 search results for any arbitrary query. It's by design. Technically, it means that the nextPageToken field won't be returned once you hit ~500 results. No additional parameter can change that.
If you want more than ~500 results for a query, you have to split it into more specific sub-queries. I'd suggest using the publishedAfter and publishedBefore parameters to achieve that, but feel free to experiment with the other ones here.
This only holds for the search-Query. Other queries like "PlaylisItem:list" deliver more results. I have tested with 100.000 items to get the videos of a playlist.
