Can I retrieve Historical weather forecast from IBM API - ibm-cloud

I wonder if I can retrieve historical weather forecast from the IBM weather company API.
I am particularly interested in comparing what the weather company had forecasted for the past two years compared to the actual weather over the same period.
Looking at the documentation it doesn't seem to be possible to retrieve forecast data for past date, but that sounds weird to me.

After talking with the Weather Company Data service team within IBM, I have confirmation that, unfortunately, historical weather forecasts are not available on IBM Bluemix. If that is something that you would find valuable, we welcome your structured ideas, which you can submit here: https://ibmcloud.ideas.aha.io/

may be an explanation : the terms and conditions said that almanac data could be retreive for US country only.

Difference in data between Google Analytics 4 API and UI

I'm automating the data collection from a Google Analytics 4 property.
However, whenever i'm trying to match the API data with the property data I get slight differences.
For example, when I get these fields (see image below) for february and march. The total sessions from the API data is: 188.213, while the Google Analytics UI shows 189.042.
When I make the API query, really simple, by just pulling the sessions between february and march then I get the 189.042 totally perfect. Why do I get a difference when I add some dimensions?
I hope somebody can explain. Business users need to trust the data, so it must match in my opinion. Thanks for answering in advance!

Find historical data in Azure DevOps for Work Items to define development metrics

In order to find some Agile Metrix of the project in Azure DevOps (ADO) from last month or from last 2 sprints, I was trying to Query data from ADO like:
When a user story was committed and reach to done state?
How long a developer took on a user story before it turned to QA?
How much time QA took after receiving it from Dev?
How many Dev and QA have worked on a user story and how long? Compare that number with the estimated time given at the time if sprint planning.
How many time a user story been returned back to Dev for any reason like not fulling Acceptance Criteria, etc?
...
In ADO, I can query the current data, however, there is no way to find historical data from State Graph, History, Discussion!!! I want to find out if the User Story has gone through multiple resources, how much time each of them have spend on that!
Can someone please give me some direction? Thanks in advance.
You can get the historical data using Analytics Odata API. For below example using WorkItemRevisions entity set to load all the revisions for a given work item
https://analytics.dev.azure.com/{OrganizationName}/{ProjectName}/_odata/{version}//WorkItemRevisions?
$filter=WorkItemId eq {Id}
&$select=WorkItemId, Title, State
Then You can Run the OData query from Power BI to create a PowerBI report. Also see document Power BI integration. Please check example Calculate time-in-state.
You can also use rest api to get historical data of a workitem. See below:
Revisions - List
Comments - Get Comments
Updates - List
For querying historical data of single workitem you can use this chrome extension - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/azure-devops-workitem-inf/ociekhbkajgbjdenikmandhpjlekckee.
There you can see changes of any field, and also you can see how many time the field was in particular state.

Is there an IBM Cloud weather API to get historical weather data for 2 months for a particular region?

The Weather Company(TWC)'s API are generally comprehensive as per the needs of a typical weather data based application.
As the weather company now a part of IBM, I assume there will be an API that can tell us about the history of weather over a city for the past 2-3 months. We want weather history data for one of our interactive forecast applications.
Is there an IBM Cloud weather API to get historical weather data for 2 months for a particular region?
Thanks!
In the IBM Cloud there are a few Weather Company APIs available. You can find many more directly from the Weather Company here. This includes an historical API that will return the historic observations closest to the location (lat,lon) requested.

Is it possible to select a Tax Agency when creating an invoice?

Is there anyway to get at my clients Tax Agencies when creating an invoice?
I'm using the C# IPP DevKit against QBO.
I don't see it mentioned in the documentation, however I can't imagine I'll be required to hard code all my clients tax tables into my app as that is silly.
What you're looking for (the list of tax rates) is not really what you're asking for (tax agencies).
In any case, this thread answers your question:
https://idnforums.intuit.com/messageview.aspx?catid=87&threadid=18930&enterthread=y
Unfortunately, the answer is:
In the current SDK or Services V2, this is a limitation that the tax code Id is not retained due to tax model changes. This limitation will be addressed in QBO Service V3.
Thus, what you're trying to do can't be done right now.
I am not sure if you are using QuickBooks Online or for Windows.
Either way, the Tax Agency would most likely be a Vendor in the customer's QuickBooks file.
So use the vendor query in the devkit to pull the list of vendor's and you can later use the CDCasOf filter to get the new or modified vendors to keep things up to date.
The supported objects and operations are listed here for future reference.

Querying Amazon

Is is possible to querying Amazon for items. Regarding their prices, discounts, category etc?
If yes then how can we access it and get results on iphone.
Any help would be appreciated.
Possibly you're looking for Amazon Web Services, specifically the Amazon Associates Web Service (A2S)? According to the wiki article you can use it to browse their catalog and retrieve product information etc etc.
You need the Product Advertising API
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/
Use the ItemLookup operation to find the item in question. Depending on what ResponseGroup you choose, you can get just about every piece of information about a product.
