Text representation of Google Home response - actions-on-google

Is there a way to capture (if it's not already stored) text search responses that Google Home receives before 'speaking' them out?
For example:
Me: When was Diego Velázquez born?
Google Home: Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez was born in 1599
I would like to capture that text string (Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez was born in 1599).
Is this possible in any way by putting Google Home into some sort of dev mode?
I was specifically interested in doing this on Google Home (rather than just Google Voice) as I've heard that the search results may differ.

Right now there is no programmatic way using Actions on Google. You can see all of your activity with the Google Assistant on your activity page.
If you were to use the Google Assistant SDK, you could receive an audio response from the Google Assistant, but it would not get you the text output as well.

Only get info of your activities on google... if only your request is possible though...

how to place mobile call from PWA

In the PWA, I would like to give a feature where it will show user's mobile number and after tapping on call button within PWA, actual mobile call should get triggered.
I couldn't find any reference or documentation for this. Please let me know how to achieve this action ?
If you want to link a phone number, it's really similar to linking a regular website:
+1 (555) 555-1234
This works for websites in general, there is nothing special about it being in a PWA.
If you want even more information about telephone links, this article is pretty good: https://css-tricks.com/the-current-state-of-telephone-links/
It's from 2016 so browser support is even better. There's a bunch of info in there about SEO and country codes as well.

Embed API demo not working

I tried using this Google Analytics Embed API Demo, of course with my own ClientID (49803909):
Embed API Demo
However, instead of the graphic I should be getting, I only get a blank page. I did follow the instructions quite carefully. Does this work for others? Any ideas of what may be wrong?
PS: Here's the screenshot of where I am getting the id from. #DaImTo was right that just 49803909 wasn't it, but I also tried to full long string and even the service id below (the one with #), all to the same effect (a blank screen). So, is this the wrong screen then?
I think #DalmTo is correct. You're most likely using one of the many other Google Analytics IDs instead of using a valid Client ID (which is not Google Analytics-specific, it's a general ID used for accessing Google APIs), and you're probably getting errors logged to the JavaScript console that say something to that affect.
If you follow the steps in this Embed API Developer Guide, you'll see instructions on how to create a Client ID to use with the Embed API.

How to track direct URL referrer

Most hosts come with softwares or google analytics which allows you to know how a person got to your site, for example: a link on yelp.com or a facebook.com page link.
But it is impossible for the software to know what method of marketing got a person to visit your site if he directly typed the url (those analytic softwares show them as "direct url").
I need a creative idea where I can refine this broad term "direct url".
One way would be to use flyers with QR codes (links to the website) but instead of the website itself I direct them to clickemart.ca/flyer1_referrer which in turn sends him to the website clickemart.ca but a different flyer distributed to a different location would have a QR code which can be scanned to direct a mobile user to clickemart.ca/flyer2_referrer
So my question is, is this possible, will I be able to figure out which flyer 1 or 2 was more effective based on visits to the redirect urls? If it is possible can you give me a brief idea on how to implement it?
I know a lot of you will say add a form field with "source of referrer" on the site but from my experience this is never filled or filled with incorrect values (typically the closest to the mouse pointer or the top most option or "other" - you get it, something useless).
Any help or guidance is really appreciated!
Solved it here is how:
Connect your site to Google Analytics (www.google.ca/analytics)
Create a campaign URL (support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033867?hl=en)
OPTIONAL: shorten the URL (www.bitly.com)
Create a QR code to the URL (www.qrstuff.com/)
Scan the QR code and watch it appear as a campaign referral under Google Analytics
Here is an explanation to the different steps:
Once you create an account on Google Analytics, you can connect the site by copying a PHP script or a JavaScript onto every page or in my case (magento) the user code can simply be connected through the configuration settings
The campaign URL adds information to the URL link of your website just like the current link on stackoverflow.com variables such as noredirect="..." contains info for your server to process, so using the campaign URL could be used as a tag to determine the source of the referral
Shortening the URL is recommended because the QR code becomes less dense and this in turn reduces the chance of error while scanning the code, the shortened URL links directly to the campaign URL link you provided so it is a seamless process
QRStuff is a good place to download the QR code image at a high resolution
So when you scan this is what happens:
CODE SCANNED >> PHONE COMMAND TO GO TO SHORTENED URL LINK >> REDIRECT TO CAMPAIGN URL >> GOOGLE ANALYTICS RECEIVES INFO ABOUT CAMPAIGN REFERRAL >> YOU CAN SEE IT BY LOGIN INTO GOOGLE ANALYTICS

How to get Bing 'daily mobile wallpaper' address

is There anyone know how to get the Bing 'daily mobile wallpaper' address.
if you visit bing.com via your IPhone, you will see a beautiful wallpaper.
Bing change it everyday, and provide two resolution format for Portrait and landscape.
for example, today's Bing mobile wallpaper are from
http://www.bing.com/fd/hpk2/LouetLighthouse_EN-US2132342110_360x480.jpg
http://www.bing.com/fd/hpk2/LouetLighthouse_EN-US2132342110_480x360.jpg
appreciate your help in advance.
Eric
parse this url http://www.bing.com/HPImageArchive.aspx?format=xml&idx=0&n=10
as xml.
you can change value of N to change number of images.
Unfortunately the URL for the wallpaper changes everyday. The only way to would be to scrape the HTML of the page and find where it references the image.
Another similar method would be to use www.istartedsomething . com / bingimages, a site which archives the Bing images. They provide a RSS feed via feedburner for more easy scraping: http://feeds.feedburner.com/bingimages
