I want to search Youtube channels and filter them by the user's country among other stuff
How can i do that ?
I never dealt with an API before , so it would be useful to direct me which language should I use and some tutorials on youtube APIs other than Google's.
you can use the api in different languages , you should go through developers API here , It has all details,
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/getting_started.html#data_api
Search for standard feeds here ,
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/reference.html
search appropriate URL according to your needs.

I am planning to use the Spotify API to fetch some data, feeding track name and artist as search keywords. However, the track name and artist data I have some parsing errors, and I was wondering if there are any methods in Spotify API that auto-corrects the keywords.
For example, Google will fetch me documents about Radiohead even if I search for 'Radiohea','Radihead', and so. Also, the Last.fm API provides a method named 'track.getCorrection', which does jobs similar to those I explained above.
Here is the explanation of the method from the official Last.fm API website:
'Use the last.fm corrections data to check whether the supplied track has a correction to a canonical track.'
Does anyone know if such method exists in Spotify API?
No, there's no auto-correction engine. The closest Spotify gets to having a search engine is the search endpoint:
You can search, for instance, like this:
query = 'radio head'
and then
query_results = sp.search(q=query, type='playlist')
would return
...u'playlist'...{u'name': u'Air/Zero 7/Thievery Corp/Radio Head/Massive Attack/Morcheeba',...
but that requires that the playlist user spelled it wrong too. That is as far as a typo can get you, I'm afraid.
A workaround is fetching the artist using the last.fm API, use its auto-correction tool and then feed this result into Spotify API, either using artist, track or search endpoints.
I highly recommend you using more than one API for your app, as each one has its own limitations.
I want to get the events from a city from Custom Search Api or Knowledge Graph Search Api. Is it possible?
In a normal google search it would be like
this
or like this.
I don't believe Google has an api for what you are looking for. Try the Songkick or LastFM apis.
Google just announced the retirement of some deprecated but pretty useful search API's, like Google Patent Search API, Google News Search API, Google Blog Search API, Google Video Search API and Google Image Search API
and forwarded to the Custom Search API as the recommended alternative.
What would now be the syntax for a patent search with the custom search API?
e.g. for
https://developers.google.com/patent-search/?utm_campaign=chrome_deprication_api_011516&utm_source=gdev
the patent-search uri will be gone.
The javascript API is the google.search.PatentSearch class, which I assume will also be removed.
And I don't see anything like Patent, Video or Images in the https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/ref_prebuiltlabels
The answer at Python module for searching patent databases, ie USPTO or EPO looks like it would be helpful to you. It gives a Python example of doing a Google patent search using the custom search API.
You could also switch over to using IPStreet.com. The provide a RESTful API endpoint for basic keyword searching of patents as well as advanced semantic search algorithm (Latent Semantic Indexing). http://www.ipstreet.com/
Just curious to know that whether there is a way in twitter to check for the popular trends in categories e.g. 'automobile', 'sports', 'forex' etc, just like we have the search.twitter.com providing us with the search for keywords. is there a way we can search for particular trends associated with some category.
Thanks,
Vaibhav
Well as far as I have seen, there is no api to extract trends based on topics BUT you can monitor tweets containing particular key words through the public streaming API. Check the twitter api documentation for more.. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis
I need to provide search functionality as the cornerstone of my app (basically I think I can make a better interface than whats is offered by Google, bing, yahoo - bold claim I know). Therefore I will not build an entire search engine from scratch, I will rather use an API provider by a major search engine and simply modify the interface that present the results to my visitors. I am a Google fanboi and I initially tried to use Google Search AJAX API. However, I was very disappointed since I can barely change anything at all.
Specifically;
I need an API that will let me pull programmatically the results from a major search engine and let me output them with the style and goodies that I want.
I am not looking to alter the order in which the search results are presented to the user by inserting crap in between the good results (this is against my philosophy). But I would like to wrap massive php/javascript around each search results so that I can completely control how each result is graphically rendered.
I heard of the BING API 2.0, would that be more flexible than Google AJAX API? Could anyone provide output if any of the current search providers are offering API for this purpose right now?
After careful investigation it appears to me that the Bing 2.0 API is the most flexible and robust search API currently on the market.
The Bing API does require you to put their ads next to the results. You can place your own ads with the Yahoo API. The Yahoo API uses the same search technology (same results) and can be used starting from $0,40 per 1000 queries. The lowest, bulk price of the Google API is $4,00 per 1000 queries. Google's relevance is easily ten times higher for the somewhat more advanced queries.
And also Bing version 2 search API is free!
Whereas, Yahoo BOSS V2 has pricing and so Google does custom search API.
