Does anyone that has worked with The Weather Channel API know if it allows hour by hour forecasts? - api

You can access hourly forecasts from their site, but as far as I've read the Data Forecast request on their API only gives daily forecasts, I'm currently working with the Weather Underground API, but I'd like to know if I can do this with TWC before paying the subscription. I already e-mailed them but got no answer.

The Weather Channel API is the Weather Underground API. Take a look at the "Weather API" link at the bottom of the weather.com homepage. It's http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/?ref=twc
If you want a free weather API, and you're US-centric, you can look at the weather.gov SOAP Web Service

YouTube API - get monthly views from foreign channel

I try finding a way to get the viewcount of the last 6 months of any given YouTube channel. The YouTube analytics API is not helpful, cause it only allows for channels I own - the YouTube data API only returns the total view count of the channel lifetime.
Is there a way I can get the view count a channel has made on a monthly basis via the API? Scraping socialblade is my second option, but I'd rather use the Google Api.
Thanks for your help!
Your going to have to do it like socalblade probably does.
Just scan each channel you want to check every month.
YouTube analytics api only stores data for three months I think and you have to be authorized as you mentioned.
The YouTube data api doesn't store data by date its not intended for analytics.
I set up a system for a client a while back that just poles a few channels every day to get stats for them. Its not optimal but it works.

list of working methods to scrape 4y+ historical Twitter tweets from users in 2022

It seems Twitter made lots of changes to API and Webapp so many methods that used to work in the past do not work anymore.
Which method does work as of today (April 2022) to scrape historical tweets from specific users at least the last 4+ years?
Selenium scraping: open https://www.twitter.com/ and scroll down until you have the history you need
not working, only 1 month data
https://pypi.org/project/GetOldTweets3/ - Twitter scraping of older tweets
seems to have stopped working? https://github.com/Mottl/GetOldTweets3/issues/98

There is a python based library named twint. It's an un-official sdk for twitter public API. you won't require twitter developer account or any access token.
Twint can help you in getting previous tweets and with some advanced controls.
If you feel some rate restriction from twitter for a large number of tweets, try breaking your search into smaller chunks.

I have a sample github repo for that. Link
Hopefully, this can help!

Which Amadeus API will return the flight details with price?

I am working on the Amadeus API and using the Air_MultiAvailability. it gives me the flight search results data but not giving me the flight price. SO i need to get the all the flight details with price.
I don't know that i am using the correct API or not but i looking the flight search data with price details.
Kindly help
If you want to get started quickly to test, you may want to consider using the Amadeus Travel Innovation Sandbox Flight Low Fare Search API.
If you are using Amadeus Web Services, a good starting point is the Fare_MasterPricerTravelBoardSearch message. The Amadeus WBS Implementation Guide - Internet Booking Engine with Master Pricer document which you can find on the webservices portal may also be useful to you.
You can have both price and availibility with a product like MasterPricer.
Otherwise you should use Fare_PricePNRWithBookingClass
I have just used the Amadeus and find the flight search and flight details and also FlightBooking.
To get the Flight Search use Fare_MastepricerTravelBoardSearch
To Get the Flight Details with Price use Fare_InformativeBestPricingWithoutPNR
if you need more info please ask, i am able to answer related to Amadeus

Google Place API usage limitations and billing

I have developed one app in which i have used the Google Place API. This is what places doc says about limitation.
The Google Places API has the following query limits:
Users with an API key are allowed 1 000 requests per 24 hour period.
Users who have also verified their identity through the APIs console are allowed 100 000 requests per 24 hour period. A credit card is required for verification, by enabling billing in the console. Your card will not be charged for use of the Places API.
So my question is that if i enable billing for Place API then its free? Is it really true?
Yes, you will have what they are saying. I have done that, so I can confirm... If you put your credit card info, you are letting them know that you are a verified user, and that therefore you won't misuse their services.
And for the second question, we are talking about Google here. It is really true, you won't be charged, they can make money from other sources :)
EDIT:
Actually, if you need more than the "verified" option, it seems you can contact them as stated by Thor Mitchell (Product Manager #Google) in this topic at Quora: Pros and Cons of Places API
"The limits on use (after identity verification) is 100,000 requests
per day, and we're happy to talk to developers who need more about
their requirements."
As of today, the limit is 150,000 free requests per day, but the documentation is hard to make sense of in terms of how they bill overage.
