Swift Read HTML elements on webpage - swift

I am trying to read a specific text on a website, and I was wondering how I would proceed doing so. I am trying to get the followers-count on the instagram website, to then retrieve it in my app and display it. How would I proceed with this?
I have searched both Google and GitHub for parser, with no luck - and there is no tutorial on YouTube explaining how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Usually for something like this, you'll want to use the official API.
Isolating and reading an element in web page is likely not what you want to do. An API gives you access to parts of a service an application might need to interact with, just like this.

How to link personal webpage on parse.com?

I want to link my personal webpage on parse.com, so that I can implement the verify_email_success.html file. But I don't find a text field where this works.
Any ideas how to achieve this?
Looks like you need to first sign up at Parse.com and then create a new application (which will represent your website).
From quick Googling, I've found this tutorial which looks to focus on the type of thing you are trying to do:

UPDATE:
From looking into this a bit more, it appears that Parse.com works very much like many other web-based services/APIs, in that to "link" your application (website in your case) with Parse.com, you need to specify the Application Key that Parse provides when you create a new application via their website.
Untested example based on Parse.com documentation:
Parse.initialize("APPLICATION ID", "JAVASCRIPT KEY");

Panoramio api for searching by tag

I am in developing web application to allow user search Panoramio images using a tag. Would be appreciate if someone has done previously and share how you do that to me.
You'll find all the information you need to know here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/layer-panoramio-tags
Its easy to implement, give it a go. As long as you've set up the Panoramio service correctly, it should only take a line or two of code.

Fetch Wordpress Comments to iPhone

I am interested specifically in this functionality: I want to fetch all comments from a Worpress-based blog. I had a look at the Wordpress iOS application, but it looks too complex for me. Can some one please give me some hints in what would be the steps to achieve that. (I assume first I need to log-in somehow, and after that call a method using XML-RPC)
If possible, please don't suggest me the Wordpress iOS application, as it is a bit too complex for me.
Thank you.

Is it possible to implement facebook chat inside iframe in my own website?

I am trying to implement fb-chat from inside my website (in any possible way). Something like in ebuddy or meebo. In a previous question, I was suggested to use the facebook-chat from within an iframe. I searched for some documentation on how to do that but most of the results show how to make applications in a facebook.
Please somebody help me in this? I need some pointers or tutorials from websites which already implemented this. If not possible, please suggest another solution. I have been stuck in this for long time.
thanks a lot
Sabah

How does the Google adsense works?

can you tell me, how does the Google Ad sense works?
please explain me in brief..
There's quite a bit of information available from Google on the subject.
You want to know how to "use" it? or its algorithms? For the first one, they have a page for that, for the later one, I don't think you will even be able to figure it out:)
You place a javascript code in your site, and whenever someone visits your site, Google puts an ad in place. If the user clicks the add, you get money for it.
I assume your question is orientated around Google's contextual targeting.
In brief: Google sends a bot to read each page of your website. It looks at all the terms on the page and discards common words and instead tries to understand themes. Google also looks at adgroups of AdWords advertisers and looks to build an understanding of the themes of the keywords. Another algorithm pairs the two together so that relevant ads appear on a webpage.
