I'm just starting out with the Google Analytics API and am wondering if it's possible to compare two dimensions via an operand in the filters I pass in the query. And by wondering I mean I've tried it, but have had no success.
Specifically I'm trying to compare 2 custom variable values. One holds the user who created a post (customVarValue3), the other the user who is viewing the post (customVarValue5). I want to get the pageviews only for the visitors who are not also the creator. The filter looks like this (without urlencoding applied):
ga:customVarValue3!=ga:customVarValue5
The full query (url encoded) looks like this:
https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/data?ids=ga%3Axxxxxx&dimensions=ga%3AcustomVarValue1%2Cga%3AcustomVarValue2%2Cga%3AcustomVarValue3&metrics=ga%3Apageviews&filters=ga%3AcustomVarValue3!%3Dga%3AcustomVarValue5&sort=-ga%3Apageviews&start-date=2012-02-09&end-date=2012-02-23&max-results=50
However, it returns the same results (and I know there are results where ga:customVarValue3 == ga:customVarValue5).
Probably it isn't possible, but I just wanted to see if anyone knew how to achieve this or has a workaround or something.
No, it is not possible using the GAv3 API in its present state. You can, however, get all the results by using the specified two custom variables as the dimensions for a report, and programmatically filter out the unnecessary results.
Some simple construct like
for(var item in collatedResultsListwithDimensions) {
for(var row in item.rows) {
if(row[0]!=row[1])
newResultRows.push(row);
}
}
Now your newResultRows will have those rows where row[1]!=row[0] assuming the two custom variables you mentioned are the first two dimensions.

I am using the Reddit API (Pushshift) : https://github.com/pushshift/api
Using the documentation, I understand how I can use this to extract every comment containing the word "covid" that was left in a certain time period:
https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/comment?q=covid&after=3h&before=2h&size=1
The output looks something like this:

My Question: Suppose I identify a post that contains the word "covid" - now, I want to retrieve every comment on this post : Is this possible to do?
For instance, based on the output of these results, I see that :
link_id: t3_116l7ct
parent_id:41917615743
Can I somehow use this information to write an API query to retrieve all comments from this post?
I tried the following query but got an empty result: https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/comment/search/?link_id=t3_116cjib
Thanks!
Using algolia vue-instantsearch, i’m encountering a special case and i’m having an hard time finding a solution.
Refinement behaviors is that you get the results that matches all your refinement filters.
If i filter on a brand and a price, i’ll get the results that matches both the brand and the price.
I need to add some specific filters that work differently. I would like to be able to say “returns me the results that matches either refinementA, or refinementB, or refinementC.”
The reason is that those refinements are checking fields that are not present on all the products.
If i check a value for refinementA, i want to keep all the results that has no value for field corresponding to refinementA, but remove those that has a value for refinementA that does not match with the one i filtered one.
Im thinking about handling myself some inputs instead of ias-components, and modifying by hand each query that is send to algolia by checking the value of my own inputs when searchFunction is triggered (https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/widgets/instantsearch/js/#widget-param-searchfunction).
I did not found yet how i can trigger a search from an non-vue-instantsearch input event, and i’m not sure how the above solution could affect the internal working of vue-instantsearch.
I’m looking for feedbacks about a more standard way of doing this, or for any advices !
I got the answer by exchanging with a vue-instantsearch maintainer.
vue-instantsearch does not provide any option to do it.
A workaround is to overwrite algoliasearch search method, that is used under the hood by vue-instant-search.
const client = algoliasearch('', '');
const originalSearch = client.search;
client.search = function search(queries) { ... }

I saw in cytoscape application we have features like find and filter by keywords and degree. I tried a workaround following the original docs. Here you can see the demo webdemo.intolap.com/cytoscape (view-source for the source code or snippet). The filter works well partially. Example, "apple" will display apple and it's connected nodes (1st level) just what I am looking for.
But the problem I am facing is about resetting the graph and filter again with a
different keyword. It seems the filter function does not work after the text box is cleared and then keyed in a different keyword.
I mean when I clear the text box, it resets the graph to original which is correct. I did that using an init() function which reinstates the graph. But then if I search for "Ball" filter does not work. Any help please. Thanks!
actually there is a reasonably good explanation in the official docs here, but to be honest, I too struggled with this feature at first:
Basically, you can filter the specific collection you want to search by just inserting a filter query. So if you want to filter all nodes, you can use this:
cy.nodes(filterQuery);
If you want to filter all elements, just call this:
cy.elements(filterQuery);
If you want to make it easy, you can use this short version (short for cy.filter(...)):
cy.$(filterQuery);
The filter query itself is not that hard, you can do this (assuming that you have a node with the id "first" or an attribute like nodeColor "#2763c4"):
cy.$('[id != "first"]');
cy.$('[id = "first"]');
cy.$('[nodeColor = "#2763c4"]');
cy.$('[weight > 50]');
Additionally, you can specify the target collection within your filter query like this:
cy.$('node[id != "first"]');
Lastly, if you need complex filtering, you can use a function to apply that logic to the filter, for that just do this:
cy.$(function(element, i){
return element.isNode() && element.data('weight') > 50;
});
Sounds like you are trying to cy.filter on a cytoscape instance that no longer exists at that point. That's why it works the first time, but not the second time (after you reinstate the graph, which probably means destroy & create).
You need to make sure you point your filter handlers to the active cytoscape instance.
I have been developing a web application using domino, therein I have dblookup-ing the field from notes client; Now, this is working fine but the format of value is missing while using on web.
For example in lotus notes client the field value format is as above
I am one, I am two, I am one , I am two, labbblallalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalaallllal
Labbbaalalalallalalalalalaalallaal
Hello there, labblalalallalalalllaalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
Now when I retrieve the value of the field on web it seems it takes 2 immediate after 1. and so forth, I was expecting line feed here which is not happening.
The field above is multi valued field. Also on web I have used computed text which does db lookup from notes client.
Please help me what else could/alternate solution for this case.
Thanks
HD
Your multi-valued field has display options associated with it and the Notes client honors those. Obviously, your options are set up to display entries separated by newlines.
The computed text that you are using for the web does not have options like that and the field options are irrelevant because you aren't displaying the field. Your code has to insert the #Newlines. That's pretty easy because #DbLookup returns a list, and if you concatenate a list and a scalar, the scalar will be appended to each element of the list. (Look at the third example under "concatenation, pairwise" here to see what I mean.
The way you've worded your question is a little unclear to me, but what you need in your computed text formula is either something like this:
list := #DbLookup(etc,. etc.);
list + #Newline;
Or something like this:
multiValueFieldContainingListWithDbLookupResult + #NewLine;
I used #implode(Dblookupreturnedvalue;"");
thanks All :)
Ok, this one has become a little tricky for me and I really need some assistance to work through it.
Problem
I have a GSpreadsheet which has a list of data, in this case Twitter usernames. Using the API of a service provider (in this case the Klout API), I would like to retrieve information about that user to populate a cell within a spreadsheet.
Based on what I can work out so far, I would need to write a custom function to do this but I have no idea where to start, how I might construct it, or if there are any examples of doing this.
Scenario
The Klout API can return either an XML or JSON response (see http://developer.klout.com/docs/read/api/API), based on the string passed. For example, the URL:
http://api.klout.com/1/users/show.xml?key=SECRET&users=thewinchesterau
would return the following XML response:
<users>
<user>
<twitter_id>17439480</twitter_id>
<twitter_screen_name>thewinchesterau</twitter_screen_name>
<score>
<kscore>56.63</kscore>
<slope>0</slope>
<description>creates content that is spread throughout their network and drives discussions.</description>
<kclass_id>10</kclass_id>
<kclass>Socializer</kclass>
<kclass_description>You are the hub of social scenes and people count on you to find out what's happening. You are quick to connect people and readily share your social savvy. Your followers appreciate your network and generosity.</kclass_description>
<kscore_description>thewinchesterau has a low level ofinfluence.</kscore_description>
<network_score>58.06</network_score>
<amplification_score>29.16</amplification_score>
<true_reach>90</true_reach>
<delta_1day>0.3</delta_1day>
<delta_5day>0.5</delta_5day>
</score>
</user>
</users>
Based on this response, I would like to be able to populate different cells with the values returned within the XML (or JSON if easier) packet.
So, for example, I would have a spreadsheet like the following which would have custom functions to go out and retrieve the value of the relevant XML element response to populate the cell:
Cell A B C D E
1 Username kscore Network score Amplification score True reach
2 thewinchester =kscore(A2) =nscore(A2) =ascore(A2) =tscore(A2)
Questions
Are there any gSpreadsheet examples you know of that use an API to pull data in from an external source?
How would one write a custom function to fetch the result from the API and populate a cell with a result of a specific element?
Any information, examples or helpers you have are greatly appreciated.
You want the importXML function, documented here. The formula you want will look something like this:
=importXML("http://api.klout.com/1/users/show.xml?key=SECRET&users=" + A1, "//users/user/score/kscore")
You could write a custom script with Google AppScript, but there's a simple solution to this similar to what Nick Johnson posted. I've tested this against the score function, but it could be easily adapted to the show endpoint with different XPath.
=importXML("http://api.klout.com/1/klout.xml?users="&A1&"&key=YOUR_API_KEY", "//users/user/kscore")
This presumes your Twitter IDs are in the A column.
Note, Google Docs limits the number of such importXML functions to 50 per spreadsheet. You could concatenate groups of 5 userids for each importXML call, effectively putting your limit to 250 a sheet.
This could also be adapted to a similar call in Excel that doesn't have that limit. Keep in mind the Klout ToS, though, using proper attribution and rate limits.
