I am making an iphone app that enables users to search for a city/town/countries/states by keying in texts in a UISearchbar, I managed to get the reply from google via JSON. It works ok, but I have some unexpected replies for certain places.
When I search for, say, "Vietnam", "China", "Malaysia", "Indonesia" it gives 0 results.
But when I search for, "Singapore", "Cambodia", then, it gives a result fine.
I don't get it, why does some countries aren't available as the search results?
Thanks.
Codes: The http request I sent is something like:
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=%#?output=json
The %# is a searchBar.text formatter.
So if i type Indonesia, basically the request becomes:
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=Indonesia?output=json
Instead of using an undocumented output of maps.google.com, you should try using the Geocoding API:http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/#JSON Your query would be something like:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=indonesia&sensor=false

I'm currently working on ng-admin.
I'm having a problem retrieving user data from my REST API (connected to a MongoDB) and displaying it.
I have identified the problem as the following:
When I enter http://localhost:3000/users into my browser, I get a list of all users in my database.
When I enter http://localhost:3000/users?_page=1&_perPage=30&_sortDir=DESC&_sortField=id,
I get [] as a result.
I am quite new to this, I used both my browser and the POSTMAN Chrome extension to test this and get the same result.
http://localhost:3000/users_end=30&_order=DESC&_sort=id&_start=0
This (/users_end) is a different request than /users.
It should be:
http://localhost:3000/users?end=30&_order=DESC&_sort=id&_start=0
Or, by looking at the other parameters:
http://localhost:3000/users?_end=30&_order=DESC&_sort=id&_start=0
with end or _end being the first parameter (mark the ?).
Update (it is ? and before the _, I have edited.):
If adding parameters to the request returns an empty list, try adding only one at a time to narrow down the problem (there's probably an error in the usage of those parameters - are you sure you need those underscores?).
Your REST API must have a way to handle pagination, sorting, and filtering. But ng-admin cannot determine exactly how, because REST is a style and not a standard. So ng-admin makes assumptions about how your API does that by default, that's why it adds these _end and _sort query parameters.
In order to transform these parameters into those that your API understands, you'll have to add an interceptor. This is all thoroughly explained in the ng-admin documentation: http://ng-admin-book.marmelab.com/doc/API-mapping.html
I am trying to bring comments made on a particular event by targeting this URL: https://graph.facebook.com/1466384840257158/comments
I am passing the user_access_token
I have two comments at present on this event made on the same
day(2014-03-29)
Now I try to pass a date which should bring an empty data result/object
like this: https://graph.facebook.com/1466384840257158/comments?since=2011-01-01&until=2014-01-10
This request has no effect, it still shows me the two comment made
on the 29th
I have tried the same kind of date range on my user-id/feed and it
gave me an empty data object.
Finally i tried event-id/feed (before trying date filter) and it
gave me the following error
.
{
"error": {
"message": "An unexpected error has occurred. Please retry your request later.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 2
}
}
Could you please guide me about date filter on that particular query (point4) or if you have any other idea to use date filter on comments made for an event.
Comments use Cursor-based Pagination, so you cannot use since or until on the comments endpoint (these parameters would work f.ex. for the feed endpoint).
To get the comments in a time range you have to fetch all comments from NOW to the start of the time range, f.ex. with https://graph.facebook.com/1466384840257158/comments?filter=stream&limit=1000+paging (the filter=stream will order the result with the timestamp).
USING SINCE UNTIL FOR COMMENTS on GROUP
If you want to use since and until for comments, it is not possible directly for a group. So, First you can apply it for status(feed) and then get the comments for that feed.
This works for me:
{group_id}/?fields=feed.since(08/25/2016).until(08/31/2016){from,comments{from,message}}
Why don't you try first to filter by notifications?... notifications allows you to add parameters like since. For example (using Facebook pages):
https://graph.facebook.com/PAGEID?fields=notifications.since(2015-3-31 00:00:00).limit(250).include_read(true)&{id,created_time,updated_time,unread,object,link}&access_token=ACCESSTOKEN
Once you got the json data, loop through data, get the ID and send a second request but this time using the PAGEID_POSTID edge. Something like this:
https://graph.facebook.com/PAGEID_POSTID/comments?fields=id,from{name,id},message,can_remove,created_time&limit=1000
Voahla!... there's no need to read every comment!...
Note 1: A Page access token is required, along with the manage_pages permission
Note 2: Use the parameter/field include_read to get all the notifications, even the already readed
Note 3: In the second request, use the parameter/field "filter=stream" to order the posts and get the comments made in the name of your page
Note 4: Don't forget to control the asynchronicity once you loop!
Note 5: Notifications duplicate posts, use an array to avoid to read more than one time the postUse the parameter/field include_read to get all the notifications, even the already readed
I do not know if it's too late. But, Yeah it works in the graph api version 3.3.
for example: if you wanna get comments on a post of a Facebook page you can do it like this:
You have to use page Access-token
The get Graph Request : post_id/comments?since=some_date
I'm building a RESTful service with Symfony2.
It has a search function which returns a search entity, the entity has an array of results.
If the user performs an improper search there are a few different messages I may need to send them. Thus, My thought on how to structure the response is:
For a good search:
{
"message": "OK",
"search": <insert search object here>
}
and for a bad search:
{
"message: "Please double check your search in such and such fashion"
}
Essentially, always sending a "message" but not always sending a search entity, as one will not have been created if their search failed in certain ways.
Then, I will always return a 200 response, even when their search criteria were off. Or, if there were no results.
Does this jive with the thinking behind REST, or should I be changing the response to a 404 or something?
Thanks!
I think it depends on how you want to structure your RESTful service. When you say If the user performs an improper search to me that sounds like the user is using bad syntax in the search or doing something else wrong, as opposed to a properly formatted search that simply returns no results.
If that's the case I think most REST services return 400 - bad request, or some other error code in the 400 range.
Also, I think most REST services would return the search entity in the response body.
Is there a way to search for 2 keywords in a public post? I want to do a full text search in all public posts.
Right now I am doing it as "https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=A+B&type=post&fields=link,message&access_token=<>.
Current Behavior: fetching posts having A or B.
Required Behavior: Fetch post have both A & B.
I have also tried POST method in Graph API Explorer. Please suggest what should I do to get results.
Other things I tried :
facebook graph api search rules. But it also seems not working, even when I tried with q=A&q=B. Only second query word is getting searched.
Use the '|' operator. In your note, 'q=A&q=B' you are reassigning the value of 'q'. The API parses the string set as the value for 'q' and uses the '|' operator to parse between. Either way you will have a tough time finding a lot of results because the 'search/post' API is now deprecated.
Looking for a way to get an exact phrase match out of the Graph API's search endpoint. For example, all activities with "dogs and cats" in them. Putting the phrase in quotes doesn't seem to work, the API will return activities containing those words, but in any order.
curl -v "https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=%22dogs%20and%20cats%22&type=post&limit=75&access_token=&since=Wed+Jan+25+20%3A59%3A30&until=Wed+Jan+25+20%3A59%3A40"
returns and activity whose text is:
"Ohhh man it's raining dogs cats lobsters crab birds and horses up here. I'm scared!"
"dogs" "cats" and "and" are all in that post, but not in order.
Yeah I faced the same problem. There's a similar question that might help Using the Facebook Graph API to search for an exact string
Facebook doesnt allow exact phrasal matching drectly, atleast not at the API level, You would have to fetch the entire data and programmically check for exact matches (too slow though).
