I am using Bing Map to display Pushpins based on addresses I have. But sometimes I may get only Partial Zip Codes in addresses which lead to weird display of map. So I have come up with idea that I will use first matching zip for partial zip code.
e.g. if partial zip code is 640 then retrieve the zip codes those starts with 640 and let say I got 6402342, 6408678, 640893. Then render pushpin for co-ordinates of first matching zip code that is 6402342.
So my question is that is there any Bing Map API which could give me the list of matching zip codes as if it gives in autocomplete search box or else is there any better approach to handle partial zip codes on Bing Map.
If you have the rest of the address, try reverse geocoding it's coordinates. It will often return a fairly accurate postal code which would be more accurate than choosing the first zip code from a list. Reverse geocoding can be done using either the REST service: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff701710.aspx Or by using the search module in the Bing Maps web control:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt712821.aspx

If you really want a list of zip codes, you would be best off to download a list from a site and store them. GeoNames has a good collection of Zip codes. Here is a link to the zip file for the US: http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/US.zip
You can find downloads for other countries here: http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/

I'm planning a climbing trip and I wanted to retrieve the climbing locations from a leaflet map.
I thought I could use chromedriver and selenium to get the information I wanted but I'm having difficulty scanning through all markers since I can't understand where all the informations are stored.
Could someone guide me through how I could get the information? (also without using selenium)
The map in question is: https://www.climbingsardinia.com/topos/maps/
Thank you in advance.
in that page you will see a global variable called cttm_markers, it contains all markers informations and relative coordinates.
For example, cttm_markers[0][[0].additionalData.title evaluates "M.te Arci – Trebina Longa".Further, cttm_markers[0][[0]._latlng is an object {lat,lng} that contains coordinates.
Try to open console and paste this: JSON.stringify(cttm_markers[0].map(c=>({title:c.additionalData.title,latlng:c._latlng}))), it will print a json.
One way to do it is to get some information on one of the markers and use this to search the request reponses made by the page (you can do this in the debug tools, usually opened with F12). One of the markers for example reveals the location "Grighini". The base request redirects to (in my case) https://www.climbingsardinia.com/topos/maps/?doing_wp_cron=1651158093.0027918815612792968750
Searching the response, reveals that in line 1908 there's the string "Grighini". This line contains a serialized JSON array, containing the markers.
I'm using the Elouqa Rest API in an integration with another product and I want to implement a file browser. As part of this I want to get a list of the folders inside another folder. Theapi documents here say that a search string can be appended but don't give any clues as to the format of the search string. I've tried various things but so far I'm just getting empty results. An example is here:
/API/rest/1.0/assets/email/folders?search=folderId+%3D+250
I've tried with and without +'s and with and without url encoding the = sign, also various combinations of quote marks but so far nothing.
I believe what you want is a slightly different endpoint e.g.:
/API/rest/1.0/assets/email/folder/250/contents
Which would provide a list of folders contained with folder 250
If you wanted to search for a given folder name then you would use
/API/rest/1.0/assets/email/folders?search=foldername
Hope that helps!
I've been trying to get a list of co-ordinates in a route from point A to B using OSRM with the following request:
GET http://router.project-osrm.org/viaroute?hl=en&loc=47.064970,15.458470&loc=47.071100,15.476760
However, on opening the url, i find the 'via_points' tag containing only two co-ordinates. Surely, that can't be the entire route? Anything I'm missing here? Is there any other way of generating the list of route co-ordinates with OSRM? Thanks
The route is contained in the route_geometry object. It is an encoded polyline. If you don't want to uncompress it yourself you can disable compression via compression=false:
http://router.project-osrm.org/viaroute?compression=false&hl=en&loc=47.064970,15.458470&loc=47.071100,15.476760
Not sure what the via_points contains. OSRM's documentation seems to be outdated. Maybe they are just your start and end points snapped to the nearest road or something similar.
As I searching something with Bing and I open the Chrome development tools. Here is the request url:
http://cn.bing.com/search?q=%e4%b9%a0%e8%bf%91%e5%b9%b3&go=%e6%8f%90%e4%ba%a4&qs=n&pq=%e4%b9%a0%e8%bf%91%e5%b9%b3&sc=6-6&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=AF49B4165317411D8AFEF30F13BCD108&first=10&FORM=PERE
So, what does the parameter "cvid" stands for? It seems if i don't set a cvid,i can't get the complete result html in my program.
By the way, the cvid is calculated by the browser automaticlly, so how to calculate?
In the Bing search context, cvid represents the JavaScript parameter ConversationId. Bing uses this key to identify your search result collection as its reply to your query, q. Similarly, pq is PartialQuery. These and other parameters may also apply to different kinds of searches, such as image or video searches.
Next, qs is your query's SuggestionType, sc shows your SuggestionCount, and from the suggestion list (dropped down, if enabled), sp shows the SuggestionPosition you chose. In your case, you did not select a suggestion, so &sp=-1. Toward the end of your string, sk is the SkipValue, because you might skip through your result pages, first tells the issuer how many results belong on the first page, and I'll let you figure out what FORM means. ;)
TRY:
Navigate to Bing, conduct a search, choose some options, change your displays, and change some search types. Next, open file explorer and navigate to your Windows OS equivalent of the following path.
C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
Next, you may need to adjust your View temporarily to "Show hidden files, folders, and drives." View tab > Options > Change... > View tab again, and click the bullet to "Show...".
In File Explorer's Search pane at the upper right, enter *.js to find all JavaScript files. It may point you several subfolders deeper, and the folder names may be hashed. Choose a JavaScript file you find interesting, right-click the file, and open it with Notepad, your favorite IDE, or some similar editor. You should see something akin to this (truncated; may not run independently):
var AutoSuggest,__extends,Bing,sa_inst;(function(n){var t;(function(n){var t,i,r,u,f,e;(function(n){n.User="SRCHHPGUSR"})(t=n.CookieNames||(n.CookieNames={})),function(n){n.AutoSuggest="AS"}(i=n.CrumbNames||(n.CrumbNames={})),function(n){n.CursorPosition="cp";n.ConversationId="cvid";n.SuggestionCount="sc";n.PartialQuery="pq";n.SuggestionPosition="sp";n.SuggestionType="qs";n.PreviewPaneSuggestionType="qsc";n.SkipValue="sk";n.PreviewPaneSkipValue="skc";n.Ghosting="ghc";n.Css="css";n.Count="count";n.DataSet="ds";n.SessionId="sid";n.TimeStamp="qt";n.Query="q";n.ImpressionGuid="ig";n.QFQuery="qry";n.BaseQuery="bq";n.FormCode="form";n.HashedMuid="nclid";n.RequestElToken="elvr";n.ElTokenValue="elv";n.AppId="appid";n.History="history";n.NoHistory="nohs";n.ApiTextDecoration="textdecorations";n.ClientId="clientid";n.Market="mkt";n.Scope="scope";n.CountryCode="cc";n.HomeGeographicRegion="hgr";n.SetLang="setlang";n.ZeroInputSerp="zis"}(r=n.QueryParams||(n.QueryParams={}))
I hope that helps someone! :D
I'm also trying to find out what this is :)
I'm pretty sure it's an encryption mechanism for bing a la public key cryptography, though I could be wildly wrong. There is another field called pq - and p's and q's are used a lot in crypto theory.
The field is 32 nibbles (e.g. 8D0E519A91024A08B075654D006C0A14) which equals 128 bits. This number results in some arithmetic operation with the binary value of your search and bing's private key - thus making url generation quite difficult.
I am parsing a kml file using KMLParser in my application. When i open the kml file in google map it shows me the route with annotations & overlay's. My query is
1) Is it possible to get the route data from kml to draw the route on map
2) If not how can i achieve route drawing from kml file
Any suggestion or hint will be helpful.
I am not sure if you can get the route data from the KML-file using KMLParser, as I'm not sure what features that parser provides. An alternative to using KMLParser would be to simply parse the KML-file yourself, using for example KissXML och GDataXML. If you only need the route information from the KML-file, using a plain XML-parser might be simpler.
You need to parse the data and then translate it into something you can draw on the map, like CLLocationCoordinate2D. Once you have your data as an array of CLLocationCoordinate2D-coordinates, you can follow this tutorial for learning how to draw a line on a map: http://www.raywenderlich.com/30001/overlay-images-and-overlay-views-with-mapkit-tutorial Specifically the section "I Walk The Line – MKPolyline".
Good luck!
