How to grab right-hand side results from Bing using Bing's API - bing

When you use Bing or Google, searching for certain types of things will give you a special information box on the side that grabs info from top hits, usually Wikipedia.
Is there any way to ask for this box using Bing's API? I suppose you can ask for the whole page and then try to piece it out, but I'd rather just get this entire box.

I'm from the Bing API team. There is a Bing API to get information about entities (the right rail box you mention), known as Knowledge and Action Graph API: https://www.bing.com/partners/knowledgegraph. Unfortunately, this is currently a private API, which is not offered broadly yet.

Is there a Facebook API to pull stats from tracking pixels?

I'm looking through Facebook's API documentation and I'm hunting for any way to pull stats from the tracking pixels to another piece of software, possibly for spreadsheet purposes. Does this exist?
There is the /v2.6/{ads-pixel-id}/stats endpoint. From there, you can get (aggregated) event data. You can find the full details here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/reference/ads-pixel/stats/

unemploymet analysis through social media

unemployment analysis through social media in big data concept.In my application i need to retrieve a information of person from Facebook. Like the status of particular person and his degree,studies and current job of the person including previous job if he is not fresher. so which way to get this information. please tell me..
Then my output is like graphical representation. so i have to highlight each degree in the graph. the major objective is to produce the unemployment report.
What you're trying to achive is IMHO no longer possible with the Graph API >= v2.0. You'd need to get the permission of every user to get the data you want. You should have a look at the permission concept Facebook has implemented for its Graph API and see for yourself:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/overview/v2.2
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.2
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens
First you need to use the Facebook Graph API to retrieve the available data for each user.

Then use a graphical library to draw what you want (but the question is a little too broad to go further).

The *NEW* Facebook 'Post Search API'

This may look like an old question but is actually a new one (in other words, I'm aware they deprecated the "old" Post Search).
According to this source Facebook has now made it possible to search for Posts using the standard "Facebook Search" and I'm wondering if can I access this through the Graph API (and how)? Also where is the source of the article I mentioned? Where does Facebook announce this feature?
Thank you!
The Graph Search is not available via the API, so there is no possibility to use the new Post Search - at least not right now. But since they deprecated the Public Post Search, i don´t think there are any plans to implement it again.

Facebook API - Advanced Search

I'm trying to replicate some functionality of the Facebook web interface via the API and am a bit stuck. Basically, via the web site I can enter 'Favorite pages of people named "jim"' in the search box and get a slew of results, but I haven't found a way to replicate this type of query via the API. Is such a thing possible?
As WizKid commented, Graph Search is not available with the API, you can only use the Search API for searching: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api/v2.1#search
Keep in mind that public search and news feed search are not available in v2.0 anymore, see changelog: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog

How to access a feed with historic items (like in Google Reader) of a given feed url without authentication?

One feature of Google Reader is that it maintains a history of all items of a subscribed feed and you have access to those items when you keep scrolling down the list.
In contrast if you visit the original feed from a blog or a news site, the feed will only contain the latest 10-20 posts, but Google Reader can show you more than that.
This is a very handy feature and I was wondering if there is a kind of API available to access the RSS or ATOM Feed as displayed by Google Reader.
I came across this site that describes an unofficial API for Google Reader:
http://code.google.com/p/pyrfeed/wiki/GoogleReaderAPI
And it includes the API method I was looking for:
http://www.google.com/reader/atom/feed/url of feed?n=number of items (default 20)
This works – however the drawback is that you need to be authenticated first.
I am looking for a simple solution to access a feed with all historic items of a given feed url from Google without the need to be authenticated. The idea is to use this as an input for further processing (e.g. in Yahoo Pipes)
You can instead use http://www.google.com/reader/public/atom/feed/<escaped_feed_url> to get at this data without needing authentication.
