I'm trying to add a "create Facebook event" functionality to my application that uses Graph API. I have read their documentation and I am able to create an event with basic informations, like name, description, time, place etc.
However, the documentation doesn't mention two fields I'm especially interested in: Show the guest list on the event page and Non-admins can write on the wall.
I have investigated the data sent to Facebook while creating new event on site and it seems like these two fields are named respectively guest_list and connections_can_post. Unfortunately, adding these two fields to my request has no effect. I have tried different combinations, but they seem to be ignored.
Is it possible to set those two fields through API?
I don't believe either of those fields can currently be set via the API

Is it possible to extract this information through blpapi when using the Desktop API to connect via BBComm? I've seen references to Identity and populating that by sending an AuthorizationRequest but it appears that's only relevant for SAPI/B-PIPE.
To the best of my knowledge and after asking a couple of Bloomberg reps - this isn't possible. The best work around which I've found is: each user creates an EQS screen called their UUID. Add some filtering which causes this screening to return nothing. Then the application, upon start up, requests all possible UUIDs as EQS screens and stops when it doesn't get back an error - that's the UUID.
This is a dirty, dirty hack and, granted, this only works if you have few distinct users using your system. You don't want to ask may users to create such a screen and probably don't want to iterate over thousands of EQS screen names.
There is a "SID report" which is provide together with monthly invoices from Bloomberg which contains the UUIDs for users - this can be used to look up existing users but when setting up a brand new account you have to manually copy this information out of the terminal.
I'm trying to figure out how the Google Calendars API works, so far I've connected to everything without an issue and its returning results as expected.
What I'd ideally like to do is use calendarList (https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/calendarList) to get a list of the user's calendars and display information about whether they are set to PUBLIC, e.g. have this boxed checked.
But from everything I've looked at through the api, this isn't something that can be done
Just wondering if anyone sees anything to the contrary or if anyone's come across the problem before. Thanks a lot for your help
I looked in all of the documents about Calendar API but like you said, I can't see any documents that can do or make what you want.
You can only use CalendarList to add and remove existing calendars to/from the users’ list. You also use it to retrieve and set the values of user-specific calendar properties, such as default reminders. Another example is foreground color, since different users can have different colors set for the same calendar.
I am running a website, whose community is powered by Disqus. I would like to create user profile pages, where the page would display the particular user's most recent activity, but only for my particular site (forum, in Disqus' terminology).
I ran through the entire API documentation, but I could not find a way that would allow me to filter by both user, and forum. I would be able to grab either the entire list of posts for a given forum, or the one from a particular user.
In every API call, there is a mysterious query paramater, where I tried to plug a series of filters, but none of them worked.
Is there something that I could be missing?
It's not that obvious, but you can use the query param as a filter for users. Try something like this:
https://disqus.com/api/3.0/forums/listPosts.json?forum={SHORTNAME}&query=user:{USERNAME}&api_key={YOUR_API_KEY}
i've noticed that for certain keywords, the Eventbrite website shows relevant events, but the API returns a lot of irrelevant events.
some examples are: "arts", "health", "auction"
the results shown on the website all have the keywords appearing in the Title/Name of the event, however the API returns events as long as the keywords are in the title and/or description.
MY QUESTION IS: how do I use the API to only get back events which have the keyword appearing in the title?
I'm trying to get the best matching events.
event_search currently does a full-text search over the title and description fields.
Eventbrite is currently working on connecting their event_search interface to the same back-end that powers their web-based directory service
I'm sure they'll make an announcement via #EventbriteAPI when it's ready.
Edit refurbished the question that was not clear
New to GA, I'm looking at the way to retrieve automatically custom variables data statistics
The query would have
a start and an end dates (possibly equal)
a variable name
For instance, a Page-level variable Brand takes only three possible values, that are set by the web server, and seen by the client.
The values are Apple, Google and Microsoft.
The query to Google-Analytics could be something like (pseudo-code), provided that I use an authentication token previously acquired
...getstatistics?myToken=123&variable=Brand&datefrom=20110121&dateto=20110121
And the result could be some xml like data
<variable>Brand</variable><value>Apple</value><count>3214</count>
<variable>Brand</variable><value>Google</value><count>4321</count>
<variable>Brand</variable><value>Microsoft</value><count>1345</count>
Meaning for instance that the page-level custom variable Brand was set to the value Apple by the web server (and thus seen by the client / sent to GA) 3214 times.
What is the correct way/protocol to query values/statistics from GA, in order to get statistics related to custom variables?
So, this is my understanding of what you're doing:
You're setting page-level custom variables (important technical note: these need to be called before the _trackPageview or some other call, else they won't be tracked.)
Your code might looks something like this:
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 2, 'Brand', 3]);
Now, when querying the Google Analytics API, its important to note that the slot # is very important, since the slot you're accessing is explicitly named in the query.
So, to do this, you'd need to set your dimensions to ga:customVarName2 and ga:customVarValue2, and decide what metric you're interesting it getting. You mention Page views, so you'd use ga:pageviews. (You're by no means limited to pageviews. You can use any Metric besides a couple of the AdWords specific ones.)
This query would return you all of the custom variable from this slot, and the number of pageviews associated with them.
You also mentioned you'd want to be able to filter by value.
You'd do that by setting the filter value to something like ga:customVarValue2==Apple.
You can see what a query like that would look like here in the query explorer.
Here's a sample screenshot:
Finally, all Google Analytics API queries by default require you to set a date range, so you could query that on your own.
All you need to do is decide which library you want to use as interface, and you're set to go.
Google has a handy resource, called the Google Analytics Data Explorer that can help answer a lot of your questions by letting you experiment through an interface, as long as you login with your Google Analytics credentials.
As you add parameters using their tools, the system will automatically build your URL/Query.
If that's not enough, Google also has some Interactive Examples using JavaScript. Like the Data Explorer, you can also login with your Google Analytics credentials and run the examples to see what data would be returned.
These tools are awesome because they help take the guesswork out of figuring out how to target the exact data you're searching for.
