I am very very happy with Alphavantage.
BUT I can't find the german stocks (Xetra)
I have tried:
https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=xtr:lin&apikey=MYKEY
(But this works https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=NYSE:DIN&apikey=MYKEY)
https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=Lin.be&apikey=MYKEY
(But this works: https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=Novo-b.CO&apikey=MYKEY)
So my question is - has anyone had any luck getting german stocks on Alphavanta (or another free service. Realtime is not crucial, but obviously a plus).
I use the "Search Endpoint" function to find german stocks on alphavantage.
Let's say you look for "BASF" you could query:
https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=SYMBOL_SEARCH&keywords=BASF&apikey=[your API key]&datatype=csv
You get a list with possible matches:
symbol,name,type,region,marketOpen,marketClose,timezone,currency,matchScore
BASFY,BASF SE,Equity,United States,09:30,16:00,UTC-05,USD,0.8889

It seems to work with the yahoo symbols on alphavantage, at least for a few stocks (I did not check all). BASF for example works with:
https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=BASF.TI&apikey=MYKEY
The alphavantage symbols for German securities consist of the Xetra symbol + .DE. For example EUNL.DE (for iShares MSCI World Core ETF). You can find a list of all Xetra stocks here.
I'm trying to integrate the Payroll API (USA) but running into challenges posting a Timesheet.
I'm using a JSON to xml parser which is giving me an output like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Timesheet>
<EmployeeID>9e246df3-8775-43ee-bc7e-47f5f5896964</EmployeeID>
<EndDate>2017-10-16T00:00:00Z</EndDate>
<Hours>43.2000</Hours>
<StartDate>2017-10-10T00:00:00Z</StartDate>
<Status>Draft</Status>
</Timesheet>
I have no experience with xml APIs but that looks the same as the example code provided. However on the API end the hours I get returned are 0:
"Status":"DRAFT","Hours":0,
etc...
The Timesheet on the user console end also has 0 hours.
Is there something else I need to be considering here?
Thanks
Answer:
I had misinterpreted the API, the "Hours" for a period is the hours calculated by Xero, based on the quantity of pay items provided.
Hopefully this clarifies in case anyone else has same confusion.
I am building a web app, which uses Yahoo Weather API to provide weather information, based on a ZIP code, provided by the users.
I know that in order to obtain this data for certain number of days I have to add it as a parameter in my request, like so:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=33035&u=c&d=3
Which gives this result:
<channel>
....
<yweather:location city="Homestead" region="FL" country="US"/>
<yweather:units temperature="C" distance="km" pressure="mb" speed="km/h"/>
<yweather:wind chill="19" direction="90" speed="11.27"/>
<yweather:atmosphere humidity="78" visibility="16.09" pressure="1021" rising="1"/>
<yweather:astronomy sunrise="7:12 am" sunset="7:36 pm"/>
...
<item>
...
<yweather:forecast day="Wed" date="2 Apr 2014" low="19" high="28" text="Mostly Sunny" code="34"/>
<yweather:forecast day="Thu" date="3 Apr 2014" low="21" high="29" text="Partly Cloudy" code="30"/>
<yweather:forecast day="Fri" date="4 Apr 2014" low="20" high="28" text="Partly Cloudy" code="30"/>
<guid isPermaLink="false">USFL0208_2014_04_04_7_00_EDT</guid>

However I need to be able to get the humidity level for EVERY day in the forecast and not just the current one. I've tried to find solution here and also read the Yahoo API documentation, but it's really a short one.
I've also tried http://www.myweather2.com/ and http://developer.worldweatheronline.com/, but they have the same issue with humidity - it's shown only for the current day and stripped from the whole forecast.
I'll keep trying with other free Weather APIs, but if you can help here I'd be very grateful.
I've spent some time researching for better APIs than the Yahoo! Weather API and I found something, that works for me, so I've decided to share the info, in case anyone else bump into this some day.
Version 2 of the Forecast API looks like a nice solution, because it provides detailed information, more specifically the humidity index for each day in the forecast, which was what I was looking for in the first place.
There are also number of libraries for this API (languages include PHP, Node.js, Python, Perl and others).
It works with longitude & latitude as in this example
https://api.forecast.io/forecast/APIKEY/LATITUDE,LONGITUDE,TIME
and of course one needs to register for an API key.
The TIME parameter is optional, the temperature uses Fahrenheit metrics by default, but this can be changed with additional ?units=ca parameter.
One disadvantage is that you get only a 1,000 free calls per day, which probably won't be suitable for big applications.
If you know a better answer to the original question, I'll be very happy to hear it. Until then I'll use this solution, without going into much details:
// The default result from a Forecast API call is in JSON,
// so decode it to an object for easier access
$fcObj = json_decode($jsonResult);
if(!empty($fcObj->daily->data[0]->humidity)) {
// get humidity value in %
$humidty = $fcObj->daily->data[0]->humidity * 100;
}
Is it possible to programmatically detect whether an Amazon buyer has left a review on a product? I've been digging through the Product Advertising API to no avail.
you can use retrieving customer reviews portion of the api here:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/EX_RetrievingCustomerReviews.html
Here is an example of the request:
http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/xml?
Service=AWSECommerceService
&Operation=ItemLookup
&ResponseGroup=Reviews
&IdType=ASIN
&ItemId=B004HFS6Z0
&AssociateTag=[Your_Associate_Tag]
&AWSAccessKeyId=[Your_AWSAccessKeyId]
&Timestamp=[YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ]
&Signature=[Request_Signature]
and response:
<Item>
<ASIN>B004HFS6Z0</ASIN>
<CustomerReviews>
<IFrameURL>
http://www.amazon.com/reviews/iframe?
akid=[Your_AWSAccessKeyId]
&alinkCode=xm2
&asin=B004HFS6Z0
&atag=[Your_AssociateTag]
&exp=2011-06-01T22%3A32%3A53Z
&v=2
&sig=pxn6bbln%2B%2FVTPJdj8oCcXvjTHmo3spkUMjbQMPbhCKI%3D
</IFrameURL>
<HasReviews>true</HasReviews>
</CustomerReviews>
</Item>
you could then sort the responses if needed.
It is possible to search by name for an album in the Spotify catalog using the Spotify Web API.
However, if the album name is a common word or phrase, the search response may contain thousands of results. I can't see a way to narrow the search by artist name.
Here is an example: searching for album Country by artist Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad.
The API request is:
http://ws.spotify.com/search/1/album?q=country
The response is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<albums xmlns="http://www.spotify.com/ns/music/1" xmlns:opensearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<opensearch:Query role="request" startPage="1" searchTerms="country" />
<opensearch:totalResults>11861</opensearch:totalResults>
<opensearch:startIndex>0</opensearch:startIndex>
<opensearch:itemsPerPage>100</opensearch:itemsPerPage>
<album href="spotify:album:1Wcnyz2zYWLIPZ1K63RXdW">
<name>How Country Feels</name>
<artist href="spotify:artist:56x8mYvS3cyDGAi8N2FxbB">
<name>Randy Houser</name>
</artist>
<id type="upc">886443789852</id>
<popularity>0.73964</popularity>
<availability>
<territories>CA US</territories>
</availability>
</album>
...more albums...
</albums>
There are 11861 results, and the results are paged, with 100 albums per page. A request can be made to get the next page, but if the album I'm looking for is on the last page I will have to make 118 separate requests to the API before I find it.
Is there a better way?
You can use the advanced search query language to help, especially if you know the artist in advance. For example:
http://ws.spotify.com/search/1/album?q=artist:Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad
...will limit the search to albums by that artist.
http://ws.spotify.com/search/1/album?q=artist:Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad Country
...will return only the album you want.
The full advanced search reference is currently unavailable in the chaos that was the new Spotify redesign, but you can find it in the Wayback machine here.
