I have the API connected and am able to upload tracks, but I haven't found anywhere that references the ability to replace an uploaded track from the API. It's available as a button on the admin of soundcloud.com, but is there any way to do it from the API?
If you'd like to replace the audio for a track, you would need to delete and then re-create it. If you give the track the same title, it should get the same permalink if that's what you're after.
Deleting and recreating a track would involve sending a DELETE request to the /tracks/{track_id} endpoint followed by a POST request to the /me/tracks endpoint with the tracks[asset_data] and tracks[title] parameters at a minimum.

I want to create a post in my website and post/share it in my Facebook page. This can be live/video/image etc. The amount likes and reaction my post get in Facebook will need to be fetched and stored in my post related database of my website.
Is it somehow possible to do?
If it is possible then what tools or guideline I need to follow?
The easiest solution would be to save the post ID when you create a post (Which you will get if the post was successfully created via the API) docs
And when you want to get the likes, use that post ID and fetch the API for the information. docs
I've made an application that creates pull requests to update the dependencies in all of my org's repos when the repo "Alpha" gets a new tag. The process is triggered by our CI flow on Alpha. Other engineers here would like to upgrade this application so that whoever made the tag is also automatically added as a requested reviewer to all of the associated pull requests. I do not see any way to do this with the github REST api. So far I have:
GET tag by name -> tag object sha
GET tag (with obj sha) -> tagger name & tagger email
*************GAP**************
POST requested reviewer (with username) -> completed!
I can't see any good way to get a username from the REST api with the name and/or email. I could query commits from Alpha and filter them, BUT "person who tagged" != "person who made last commit AND I know that at least one of our more prolific taggers is sometimes logged in from different emails (web vs cli vs home machine, etc), so the app might miss them from time to time.
I think it may be possible to get what I want via the GraphQL api, but I'd really like to exhaust REST possibilities before I go down that road. Please shoot any ideas my way!
After gathering more information, it looks like it's possible, and even slightly more elegant than I anticipated. If I have the name of the tag (the 'ref'), I can get a specific commit with that rather than the SHA. the response for this commit includes author information that gives the login. I can then use this along with the pull number to request a reviewer.
It seems that API allows to assign users to a task (called an Item in the API) using the body field responsible_uid at the add an item endpoint. However I cannot find a way to list user uids or any other way to get user details anywhere in API documentation.
Official python library todoist-python doesn't provide any way to do this either. So for now it seems I can only create tasks without assigning them to anybody, which is a bummer.
Any advise grately appreciated!

Twitter has private endpoints like this one:
http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json
Tweet counts can be fetched from here, but this is not recommended by Twitter. Besides, they keep saying they gonna shut down these endpoints in the near future.
The Site Streams API is now in closed beta, they don't accept applications.
https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/sitestreams
So that leaves is with only one option, the REST API, but I don't see any endpoint there which could return the number of tweets for a given URL.
What's the best way to get this data? Is there an "official" endpoint for this?
Or the only way is to use something like the Public stream API or the REST API search endpoints and filter the results?
The private endpoint will be shut down by 20 Nov and there'll be nothing to replace it. This blog post from Twitter explains the background: apparently it's to do with their move to their new "real-time, multi-tenant distributed database" system codenamed Manhattan.
The REST API will be of limited use for this purpose. You'd have to do a search for your URL, collect each page of results and add up the total number of tweets yourself. For example this request
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=metro.co.uk&count=100
will get tweets associated with http://metro.co.uk. (It won't work if you just paste this into your browser - you have to authenticate first. You can try this on the Twitter API console tool.) But the Search API returns a max of 100 tweets per page of results, and it only returns tweets from the last 7 days.
It seems the only solution (explained here) is an elaborate one using a Twitter Streaming API. Basically you'd have to create your own app to count relevant tweets. It would open a connection to stream.twitter.com passing your URL as a track parameter. Twitter will return a tweet every time anyone tweets the address, and your app will have to count them. The example given in that post is:
curl -u user:password "https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json" -d "track=https%3A%2F%2Fdev.twitter.com%2Fdiscussions%2F5653"
I'm not sure how you would deal with shortened URLs in this scenario.
This change has meant that third-party services like SharedCount that report a count of Twitter shares are having to stop offering that data. Sorry to give you bad news - I'm really disappointed with this situation myself. It seems crazy that we can't just get a total of tweets for a given URL.
You can find a little bit more about this in this thread.
I'm integrating the Google CardDAV with my webApplication. I have a strange problem sometimes when I make a PUT of a new vCard.
If the vCard contains a UID and the UID is a GUID Google changes the vCard UID with a 16-char UID.
for example: This is my original vCard
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Pinch;David;;;
FN:David Pinch
REV:2013-01-09T09:26:34Z
UID:6c34bedcf256408780d8ffe269ec2b3b
END:VCARD
So I PUT this into Google CardDAV, into the current url:
https://www.google.com/m8/carddav/principals/__uids__/myusername#gmail.com/lists/default/6c34bedcf256408780d8ffe269ec2b3b
The result is ok, and the contact is really created on Google Contacts.
BUT:
if "now" I retrieve the current vCard from the same URL i have the following response.
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Pinch;David;;;
FN:David Pinch
REV:2013-01-09T09:44:25Z
UID:716212e795884e43
END:VCARD
You can see that UID has changed and passed from original
UID:6c34bedcf256408780d8ffe269ec2b3b
To
UID:716212e795884e43
Curiously if I retrieve the card with the following Request
https://www.google.com/m8/carddav/principals/__uids__/myusername#gmail.com/lists/default/716212e795884e43
I have Exactly the same Response, like the vCard references two different Path url.
However when i retrieve the list of the contact from CardDAV, this return the second URL.
If I does not create the vCard with a GUID but with a 16-char UID, Seems that Google accept this, but sometimes it changes However, so I cannot be sure of the uniqueness of the Card.
A workaround seem to be of re-download the vCard after every PUT, but this causes a payload important that I wanted to avoid.
I use the same procecures with iCloud CardDAV and this doesn't happen.
Anyone can help me?
When you PUT a vCard to Google CardDAV it will recreate a new vCard V3.0 and dispose the original data posted including data loss and the UID / URI path changes you describe.
Other then UID change Google CardDAV has other issues
Data loss
Rejection of valid vCards
Slowness (10-20s per write
operation)
More details in the following Google CardDAV stress test article:
https://evertpot.com/google-carddav-issues/
My advise after still seeing these failures in 2018: its better to use Google's Contacts API instead of there CardDAV implementation.
