Does Deezer have any way to group list of artist by tags, category, custom user comment or other way?
I have long list of Artist and want to group (or order) them by my own custom parameters (for example, by style, by music type, etc). I know that I can create custom playlists, but in playlist I can add only single songs, not the whole artist.
Is there any solution for this task - group/filter artist list by custom user tags?
You can use the "genre" endpoint available here: http://developers.deezer.com/api/genre#connections. You can retrieve the artists by genre, or podcasts and radios if you want.

I want to track my app's ranking on the App Store and have found https://rss.itunes.apple.com/en-us
It pretty much does what I need except for the fact that it only distinguishes between "games" and "all" - there is no option to just say "apps" (excluding games).
Also, I cannot set categories e.g. "Finance" etc.
My workaround would be to get both lists, make a new list that filters all "games" list entries from the "all" list and then check for each app's category by scraping the iTunes website.
However, I don't think that this is the way to do it.
Is there another API to use or an undocumented part in the rss generator that allows for what I am looking for?
I have built a vacation rental website which allows users to add their home to my site, this will include all info, map, reviews and photos.
I am not sure how to mark up each property detail page with the correct Schema.org data.
I have been looking and LodgingBusiness looks close, but these are not hotels, just someone's home to rent for a few weeks. I would ideally tag the name, photo, description, map, reviews, location too, but unsure about the actual main category.
For the places which get rented, you can use the Accommodation type. There are more specific types, like Apartment, Suite, House etc.
It offers the properties you are looking for:
name, image, description
hasMap
review
address (or containedInPlace)
For documentation about all the accommodation-related types and properties, see Markup for Hotels.
Can anyone bring closer the difference between categories and tags in tx_news to me?
So far I have used only categories for the news section. for example, improve the internal filter by organizers or venue.
In the meantime about 130 categories have gathered.
How can I use meaningful tags?
It is hard to differ because it always depends as well on the use case as well but I will try.
Categories
Categories are shown as a tree structure, therefore a category has
always a parent category (if it is not a root category) and categories
on the same level. Categories can be translated.
Tags
Tags are not sorted at all. Tags can not be translated currently (patch pending).
Example
Imagine a news website with typical categories like Sport, Web and Politics. Those categories can have sub categories to get a tree like that
Sport
- Baseball
- Basketball
Web
- IT
- Trends
Politics
- Party 1
- Party 2
Tags can now be used to add additional information which can be then used later for filtering, creating landing pages, .... Those tags could be
viral trend
christmas
winners
You could add as many tags as you want, just as hashtags you are used at twitter or facebook, instagram, ...
I would like to be able to have my application's users have the ability to add movies they've "Watched" to their Timeline - specifically in the "Movies" collection of their Timeline, as show here:
It appears that these activities are solely published via the "Movies" application (an internal Facebook-controlled application). Is there no way to programmatically add a movie to one of these collections via the video_watches or video_wants_to_watch action?
I can see that any application can post via these actions via the documentation
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/guides/video.watches/
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/guides/video.wants_to_watch/
but they end up "sandboxed" under a different application's Collection (if the application has a Collection set up for that particular action/object pair).
Additionally, there seems to be no way to tie an application's collection data to the Movies collection like the Music collection seems to - which is how I would assume the third-party application's video_watches data would append or combine with Facebook's "Movies" application data.
I have tried to follow the documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/guides/collections/#datatodefaultsections to create a URL with which to integrate the application data, but it does not appear to function at all.
https://www.facebook.com/me/movies?[appname] simply does nothing. It just brings you to the "Movies" collection on your Timeline with no option to add your app's data to that section. Nothing like what's shown here (from the Facebook documentation) for Music, giving you the option to add your application's data to the Movies collection:
Is this something exclusive only to the "Music" collection at this point? When will the other "first-party" collections (other than Music) accept "third-party" application data?

You need open graph items to use this method: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/action-type/video.wants_to_watch
If you use a open graph object of type movie.other you can use:
https://graph.facebook.com/me/video.wants_to_watch?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN&method=POST&other=http%3A%2F%2Fsamples.ogp.me%2F467235199955838
I use trakt.tv to get the movie open graph objects. For example if you want to add Star Wars Episode VI to your whatchlist on facebook you can use:
https://graph.facebook.com/me/video.wants_to_watch?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN&method=POST&movie=http://trakt.tv/movie/star-wars-episode-vi-return-of-the-jedi-1983
Note that in trakt.tv the open graph is movie.
You can also do the same to add watched movies, rate it, add books, music... https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/action-type
Is there anyway to get all of facebook's indexed content to use on my own site (through their API maybe)? Instead of having users type in their own favorite movies, they'd pick from a suggestion list basically.
You might try the search API. It should let you pass partial names and filter by categories so you can generate a list for your autocomplete field.
No, there's no way. Also, actually dont have a list. They create a page/link for any movie, place, song you update :)
