According to the Trello API documentation, it is possible to return a member's avatarHash as part of the data for the cards on a list. I should be able to use the feed from either of the following:
https://trello.com/1/lists/[LIST_ID]/cards?member_fields=all
https://trello.com/1/lists/[LIST_ID]/cards?member_fields=avatarHash
However, for me anyway, the data is exactly the same with or without the query paramaters. I have also tried adding my application key and a token to the URL, but still no success.
What I actually want to do is get the URI for a member's avatar, and I believe I can build the correct one with the hash. Any help to do this or any pointers as to what I am doing wrong will be greatly appreciated.
Trello's documentation for their API shows that there are optional fields, but it isn't clear or even stated (although fairly obvious after reading) that for the member_fields parameter to be valid, there should also be members=true specified as part of the URI.
I came across this when inspecting the API calls Trello make themselves and having removed everything but member_fields, things even went missing for them, but adding members back in worked as expected.
Right now, my API call is finally working and looks like this:
https://trello.com/1/lists/[LIST_ID]/cards?members=true&member_fields=avatarHash

I need to use the table in from this wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_visited_museums to make a database in python (though the latter part is irrelevant atm). I have to use the API (can't scrape) to access it. Right now I'm trying the API's documentation https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Parsing_wikitext#Example_1:_Parse_content_of_a_page Example #2 from this page is exactly what I want to do, but it's returning an error, and even running the original code in my notebook it also returns an error. Can anyone tell me how to either alter that code so it runs, or direct me to another way to do the same thing? Thanks.
This fetches the content you're after: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=List%20of%20most%20visited%20museums&prop=wikitext§ion=2&format=json
If the example isn't working in your notebook, the problem probably lies with the rest of your code and not with the API call.
I am currently doing some work with the Canvas LMS REST API and have run into an issue when trying to retrieve a list of all enrollment terms defined in the system. When viewing the terms in the online system, I can see all the terms that have been created, from the first ones up to the furthest defined semester. However, when I try to get a list of terms using
GET /api/v1/accounts/:account_id/terms
I only receive a list of 10 terms, while the rest are missing. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Additionally, is there a difference between a Term and an EnrollmentTerm object? I only see API calls for EnrollmentTerm objects, while a Term seems to be a subset of the data contained in an EnrollmentTerm that only gets passed within a Course. Could someone explain if there is an important difference here, and what I may be missing?
Lastly, could anyone point me towards some information about error codes that are returned from an API call? For example, when I use
POST /api/v1/accounts/:account_id/terms
with some associated parameters, I get a 400 bad request response. When the parameters are incorrectly named, I get a 500 response instead. Any guidance on this matter would be very helpful.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help clarify things. Thanks for your help!
I got into contact with Canvas developers and found out that this was caused by how they paginate their API responses. Their default cap appears to be at 10 per response, but this can be extended up to 100 by adding ?per_page=100 at the end of the query like so:
POST /api/v1/accounts/:account_id/terms?per_page=100
Additional pages can be retrieved using the URLs returned in the Link header of the response. More info on that can be found here.
An example Link header would be:
<https://<canvas>/api/v1/accounts/:account_id/terms?page=1&per_page=10>; rel="current",
<https://<canvas>/api/v1/accounts/:account_id/terms?page=2&per_page=10>; rel="next",
<https://<canvas>/api/v1/accounts/:account_id/terms?page=1&per_page=10>; rel="first",
<https://<canvas>/api/v1/accounts/:account_id/terms?page=10&per_page=10>; rel="last"
The URLs in the Link header are only included when they are relevant, so the first page will not return a "prev" link and the last page will not return a "next" link, for example.
So, I'm trying to pull all photos of a specific user's account via the flickr.photos.search method, but I want to exclude photos with a particular tag. The related documentation page states that "You can exclude results that match a term by prepending it with a - character." ... Well, I tried implementing that option but what get in return is only one photo (even though there are several photos with the tag in question) and that result remains the same whether that specific photo has the tag in question or not AND whether or not I use the "-" option to exclude that tag rather than include it. I also tried the text method with the same exact result. Here's my REST call:
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?&method=flickr.photos.search&api_key='.$api_key.'&user_id='.$user_id.'&tag_mode=any&tags=-blog&extras=url_o,url_t&format=json
And here is the page where I'm trying to get this all working:
http://corazonbrew.com/temp/
Anyone know what is going on here?
It seems the answer in the Flickr discussion board I linked to earlier is proving true. In order to use the exclusion option, there has to also be at least one other, non-excluded tag. Well, that is just not good enough for me.
A couple of friends tell me this is a longstanding bug that will not be fixed anytime soon, if ever. But those friends also kindly reminded me of my n00bishness- this whole time I thought I needed to affect the feed to get the desired output. I totally was not realizing I could just use some good ol' PHP if statements to weed out what I don't want.
I'm trying to integrate Clickbank as a payment platform for a client, and basically I want to send a parameter that I can later get back in the IPN I receive from them, to be able to match the IPN notification to the originating payment
To initiate the payment, I basically redirect to:
http://productid.vendor.pay.clickbank.net
That's all, no parameters at all.
However, I do see, in the documentation for IPN there is a parameter "cvendthru" that seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Problem is, there is no other mention as to how to use this, how to actually pass information that'll come back in that parameter, and google searches aren't turning up anything very helpful.
Has anyone used this before?
Thanks!
Daniel
Never mind, I just tried the first thing that came to mind after not finding anything in Google, and it worked...
As simple as this:
http://productid.vendor.pay.clickbank.net/?var1=aaa&var2=bbb
Perfect
I'm trying to retrieve a user timeline from Twitter using YQL's community Twitter table. The full REST url is
https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=SELECT%20*%20FROM%20twitter.status.timeline.home%20WHERE%20oauth_consumer_key%20%3D%20'kt9wDTrDREjXzRhBMpw'%20AND%20oauth_consumer_secret%20%3D%20'zNnA76G3NhZSeaJdRv7munbyutlcqK8k0hazf6JrEo'%20AND%20oauth_token%20%3D%20'195tuy9661-yJFEsgA0VPCwg6gsNHtuy2y2Kq2LwTdKe4BRYa4j'%20AND%20oauth_token_secret%20%3D%20'myWfyDTtOHscMmJy6tuyU1XDyiZJiIIRkK7sIPvT2ngI'&diagnostics=true&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys
(keys have been mangled to protect the guilty)
The response I get is:
The current table
'twitter.status.timeline.user' has
been blocked. It exceeded the allotted
quotas of either time or instructions
As I seem to be doing the querying correctly, I'm at a bit of a loss as to why I should get this response, particularly since it works as it should through the YQL console. The only thing I can think of is that I need to authorize my query somehow with an API key, or oAuth credentials, but I haven't been able to find a comprehensible example of how to do this.
Can anyone possibly point me in the right direction on this? YQL's community tables seem to offer a marvelous way to do very complicated things with ease, so I'd hate to fall at the last hurdle so to speak.
According to the twitter docs the call to this API endpoint is supposed to return the last tweets from the authorized user, right? Not from any kind of user. Just checking that this is really what you want to achieve.
From: http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/home_timeline
Returns the 20 most recent statuses,
including retweets if they exist,
posted by the authenticating user and
the user's they follow. This is the
same timeline seen by a user when they
login to twitter.com.
This is the definition of the datatable that you are using. I am a bit confused about the #id parameter in the example of that datatable because I don't see it being used anywhere.
www.datatables.org/twitter/twitter.status.timeline.home.xml
The error message you get sounds like an internal YQL error message and not like something that comes from Twitter, doesn't it?
Sorry for not being able to provide answer right now but maybe raising other related questions can help somebody else or you to figure it out. If I crack this later I will add to this again.
