Is there any API to get FuelPoints from Nike Fuel Band ? - nikeplus-api

I used your Nike+ Running API. Its great. Thanks for that. Is there any API to get FuelPoints from Nike Fuel Band ?

There is an API for that. Head over to https://developer.nike.com/resources to check it out.
Further reading seems to indicate the API is lacking when it comes to grabbing the FuelPoints.
Here is a blog post where they mention doing a workaround to grab this data:

And here is a github project that could be helpful as a reference example.
gist.github.com/NorthIsUp/3949465

It's definitely possible, I have a working application that does this. See: http://wildcanyongames.org/nike-fuel.
http://developer.nike.com should have all the info you need, or you can open a more specific question if you have one.

API Documentation for Guzzle?

Where is the API Documentation for Guzzle?
There are these two links (which appear to be the same thing):
http://guzzle.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart.html
http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/latest/
But nowhere can I find in depth API documentation (even just a basic one generated from the Docblocks which were neatly created in Guzzle's source code).
Does anyone know where to find it?
Sadly, according to the maintainer of Guzzle: "I personally don't find API docs that useful" (ref: https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle/issues/750) so he stopped maintaining them in Guzzle 4 and up. There are docs for 3.7 available via the Internet Archive, but that's it.

Where is old LinkedIn REST API documentation

I was using LinkedIn REST API. Everithing was ok, but now I need to improve app and I can't find proper documentation. Where is it? Actual documentation is totally shitty. I want documentation where all fields will be described clearly etc. Especially I need documentation for GROUPS, but I can't google it. Where is it? Thanks.
Here are the old docs: https://developer-programs.linkedin.com/
I agree, the new docs are absolute garbage.
Archive.org has a copy here
https://web.archive.org/web/20150426071159/http://developer-programs.linkedin.com:80/
after 2015-04-26 it appears the viewing the documentation required sign-in and the usefulness of the copy on archive.org deteriorates.

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.

Is it possible to pass data needed for driving directions to the Bing Maps website?

I have an application that currently links to Google Maps passing it the required URL parameters needed to show driving directions for a set of points (typically 3+). This approach has worked and has allowed us to not use their API, which worked fine.
With Google, they made it pretty easy and clear by using parameters like "saddr" for the starting address, "to" for way points, and "daddr" for the destination. I could even pass in "pw" if I wanted to put the map into print mode. Simple, easy, works great!
I'm trying to determine if Bing Maps supports the same thing. I have been unable thus far to find any examples showing how this can be done, nor have I been able to easily decode the URL after creating my own driving directions using Bing Maps.
Again, I'd like to avoid using the API and am find with sending users to Bing's site when clicking my link.
It this possible? If yes, how can it be done?
Yes it is possible.
And I just wrote a little blog post to demonstrate how: http://alastaira.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/url-parameters-for-the-bing-maps-website/
Alastair's answer has full details if you follow the link through to the blog post.
But if you want the quick answer (again, thanks Alastair) use this root:
http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?where1=
and stick your search destination in at the end. Eg. this gets you to Atwood Rd in London using its postcode:
http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?where1=W6%200HX

Best examples of data visualisation?

I love data visualisation and to spread that love I thought we could share our favourite examples of data visualisation:
Chess moves http://turbulence.org/spotlight/thinking/chess.html
Chris Harrison's Visualisations http://www.chrisharrison.net/projects/visualization.html
I especially like the bible and Wikipedia visualisations.
If you're interested in creating your own visualisations a good place to start would be to check out processing.js (http://ejohn.org/blog/processingjs/).
Information Aesthetics's feed is on my home page and has been the source of many interesting visualizations since I've placed it there.
glTail.rb - real time log info, Linux only.
This is a recent favorite The Ebb and Flow of Movies: Box Office Receipts 1986 — 2008.
Blew my mind is college Napoleon's Invasion of Russia, 1812.
And always check out Tufte.
I always found Gource to be pretty interesting; check out some of the samples. Histories of git projects.
I find codeswarm really amazing. Check out the video of eclipse.
I just came across the JavaScript lib called Raphael, haven't tried it but the demos impressed me:
http://raphaeljs.com
-- pete
I'm surprised no one has suggested d3 yet. Check out the website, its awesome: http://mbostock.github.com/d3/
For a large collection of manually selected information visualizations, please see http://www.infovis.info -- some of the online collections that I drew from no longer exist!
I show or link some examples in my blog post here: http://mycarta.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/time-to-spice-up-your-visualization-skills/
There is also a terrific selection of examples on this thread in Quora:
http://www.quora.com/Data-Visualization/What-are-the-best-data-visualizations-ever-created
A friend of mine did this and got it exposed at MOMA in NY
http://pmcruz.com/information-visualization/traffic-in-lisbon-condensed-in-one-day
It represents the trafic in lisbon over time, it was done with processing and there is no map behind it, just the coordinates of cars with public gps moving around
