Months ago, Twitter added a new feature to enable us to see the following stream of a specific user. (see TechCrunch news - Now You Can See Twitter The Way I See Twitter).
I cannot find the official api for such data and wandering if such data can be obtained programmatically.
It is the first one here:

I checked the Youtube API and it's mainly to do with adding functionalities related to the YouTube app rather than getting analytics data about videos.
There is a chrome extension called VidIQ that shows the views per hours of a particular video when going to the video's page on YouTube, so I tried reading the source code for it, but it is all compressed and I can't easily find what I'm looking for.
Could someone explain to me how VidIQ chrome extension is getting the views per hour stat for YouTube? Maybe it's not an official stat from Youtube but a rough estimate calculated by VidIQ. How do they get this information?
I tried debugging the VidIQ chrome extension to search through the source code but adding a simple html tag made the file corrupted and disabled the extension until I repaired it again. I'm having difficulties deciphering the source code.
Most of what VidIQ gets is from the YouTube analytics api and not directly from the YouTube data api although i would be they use some combination of both.
If you create a report that extracts views and run it every hour you should get the results you are looking for.
However i would be willing to be that they cache a lot of the data and do some internal analytics on it. They would need to cache it as the YouTube analytics api only returns data for the last 90 days last i checked.
If your intent is to Reverse Engineer VidIQ you may need to accept that a lot of the data you are seeing is internally stored in their system and generated by them based upon the data that is avaliable in the YouTube Analytics API and the YouTube data apis.
Hi, I want to get the user list in one Twitter post as picture shown. but I didn't find the API which I can get this kind of data on Twitter. Is there anyone know how can I get this data. Thanks
The official API does not include that functionality.
You will find that there are lots of actions which are available on the official website & apps which are not allowed in the API.
Sorry.
I understand the Twitter API is only getting more restricted, but is it possible to use the search API to find the most tweeted links within a given time period?
That is currently not possible with the Twitter API. It is possible with Gnip (disclosure I work for Gnip), but to figure that out would be very costly. In essence what you would need to do is get every Tweet with a link in it and then from that dataset determine the most Tweeted links.
Now, I can view people I have added through Google plus api but I can't find the way to view people that have added me.

That feature isn't currently available in the API. I'd suggest adding a feature request here: https://code.google.com/p/google-plus-platform/issues/list
There are multiple servies that let you insert pictures and videos into the twitter stream. - with instagram and youtube being two of the first that come to mind.
The question is - how do I do that?
If I want a custom image, and I want to link them back to my site - do I have to use the /statuses/update_with_media.json endpoint (which adds it to pics.twitter.com) along with my own link? Meaning two links?
Is there a trick to how these sites do it, or are they officially supported by Twitter?
To play "in-line" on Twitter.com. Only a select few services will allow this.
in case of videos for example, refer to this article on Twitters website.

You would need two links if you wanted to host a picture on Twitter itself and have it link to another place. The pictures hyper-link would be converted and another link would need to be added next to it.

Is there a public API or meta data to integrate with Twitter new media system?
