I'm working with Directions API, trying to get the best route from one point, pass through another places and return to the origin. But the max waypoints the API allows me to put is 25, and I need 120 on average.
Is there a way to change this restriction? Or maybe another service that allows more than 25 waypoints?
It's not currently possible to add more than 25 waypoints for Directions API.
However, there is an open feature request in Google's Issue Tracker which I suggest starring to increase visibility and subscribe to future notifications:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35824756
Hope this helps!

Playing around with the Github API, I see that there is a limit of 5,000 requests an hour. Is there a way to increase this? (Not the main question)
When I hit the /users/:username/events endpoint, I get back an array of events. The ones that are PushEvent have an array called commits. Each commit has its own endpoint that I can hit to pull more data.
This racks up requests super quickly and I was wondering if there was a better way to do this.
Thanks!
This limit is in place to prevent a single user from using too many resources, so it's not likely that it will be raised. If you want to make one request for multiple events, you can do that with the v4 GraphQL API. Note that the API limits are different for the v4 API and are scored based on points, but it's possible that you may be able to structure your query so as to be more efficient and allow you more data to be fetched.
This answer explains how you can write a GraphQL query to inquire about multiple objects with one request.
There may be alternative ways to get the information you want. For example, if you want to know about push events as they happen instead of after the fact, you may be able to set up a webhook, which isn't rate limited.
For our application we are presenting route options to a user that will be used for planning purposes (distance, time, etc). Is there a way, with the bing maps web control api, to ignore traffic conditions? For example, if a major highway is closed at the time the directions are generated, I don't want to route around that. Other conditions are fine, such as highway or non-highway, or possibly just other options that are similar. But we don't want to change the route options based on current traffic. Thanks.
Simply set the routeOptimization option in the directionsRequestOptions to shortestTime. I believe that is the default. The calculated route will be based on posted speed limits and not on traffic conditions. The response includes two times, one with and one without traffic for the route path.
I have to create script to create adsets and ads for a facebook campaign and I have to do it for a lot of items. For now, i can create every needed entity but there is a big problem, the rate limit. I reach it pretty quick (I can create like 15 items before getting a rate limit exception) and this is very limitating, creating eveything by hand is actually much faster... I want to apply to the next level of rate limitation but I can't. One of my coworker contacted someone from facebook and we were told we did not make any API call using my app ID. Since I am able to create a campaigns, adsets, ads... and we can see those in power editor I don't understand what is going on.
What my dashboard looks like
We will need to be able to create everything using the API really soon so, after some research, I try asking the question here. Did I miss something when creating my app ?
You probably want to go through the official request to promote your app from a Basic level to a Standard level. The level for your app determines how heavily it is rate limited. Details here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/access
It sounds as if you have not make your official request in app dashboard. It's possible we evaluated your number of API calls before you reached the threshold, or the data we are able to see on your API calls was from an earlier time period when you did not consistently reach the boundary.
You could also be hitting rate limits due to your error rates.
You can apply here, and if needed, reapply: https://www.facebook.com/business/standardadsapi?attachment_canonical_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fbusiness%2Fstandardadsapi
I'd like to know if it's possible (and if yes: how) to fetch statistics for our soundcloud tracks via the soundcloud API.
I know that i can get the current playback count of my tracks but is it possible to get the playback count of yesterday and so on to draw a custom graph ?
Or do i have to poll the api and record the data myself?
Not officially. Latest and official api does not support this feature yet. It voilates the tos.
Check that question first, before you read further:
soundcloud: Is api-v2 allowed to be used and is there documentation on it?
For experimental use, you can try this:
soundcloud.com/{username}/stats
Is a good starting point to take a deeper look on the networks tab in the console.
Example calls:
totals -> all tracks
https://api-v2.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:1672444/stats/totals?from=1427846400000&to=1428364800000&client_id=b45b1aa10f1ac2941910a7f0d10f8e28&app_version=1d6991e
plays -> individual tracks
https://api-v2.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:1672444/tracks/soundcloud:tracks:148976759/stats/timeseries/plays?from=1427846400000&to=1428364800000&resolution=day&client_id=b45b1aa10f1ac2941910a7f0d10f8e28&app_version=1d6991e
The second call will give you, what you want - an array with the daily plays.
To make the calls working i had to manipulate the request headers.
Origin https://soundcloud.com
Referer https://soundcloud.com
Host api-v2.soundcloud.com

I am the manager of an iOS application and it uses Google Places API. Right now I am limited to 100,000 requests and during our testing, one or two users could use up to 2000 requests per day (without autocomplete). This means that only about 50 to 200 people will be able to use the app per day before I run out of quota. I know I will need to fill out the uplift request form when the app launches to get more quota but I still feel that I will need a very large quota based on these test results. Can anyone help me with this issue?
Note: I do not want to launch the app until I know I will be able to get a larger quota.
First up, put your review request in sooner rather than later so I have time to review it and make sure it complies with our Terms of Service.
Secondly, how are your users burning 2k requests per day? Would caching results help you lower your request count?
I'm facing the same problem!
Is it possible to use Places library of the Google Maps Javascript API which gives the quota on each end user instead of an API key so that the quota will grow as user grows. See here
Theoretically I think it's possible to do that since it just need a webView or javascript runtime to use the library, but didn't see anyone seems to use this approach.
