I'm trying to match the album information retrieved from an external source to the Spotify data. The best way would be to match them by UPC. But unlike Spotify Metadata API search results, Spotify Apps API search results don't contain the UPC code information. Is that intentional? Is there any better way of obtaining the UPC code information for a specific album inside the Spotify Apps then using the Metadata API?
At the moment, unfortunately not - the client doesn't deal with UPC information at all, so it isn't in the client's search results.

I want to search people by using phone number. If you open Facebook and type mobile number on search bar you get user that's belong to it. But I want to do with Graph API. There is option for search but it's provide only username.
search/type=user&q=username
search/type=user&q=03001234567 // (#200) Application does not have the capability to make this API call
How can I search users by using Mobile numbers.
How can I search users by using Mobile numbers.
You can’t.
The search functionality provided via the UI, and the API search are two different things.
I assume Facebook is deliberately not exposing all the functionality via API, because that would just be too powerful a tool for all sorts of data mining.
When performing a search using the Deezer API, the results obtained are the not the same as the ones obtained when performing the search from the Deezer web site.
Is there a way to obtain the same results as the web site using the API?
Search results are localized based on the current user's country (IP based).
If you query the website and the API from the same location, you'll get the same results.
You can override the country by passing a user token to the request to make sure you always get the same results.
I am trying to fetch a particular user's photo using Instagram, lets say one particular sports team, I am unable to proceed further since the API's seem to return images of all users with similar handle? Is there a way around it?
Let me know please.
I am not sure what you're using, but the Instagram API absolutely provides an end-point for an individual user's photos.
Once you've obtained the user's ID you can use the /users/user-id/media/recent and /users/self/feed endpoints as required. What API calls are you currently using, if not those?
I am using the Facebook graph API with queries like:
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=term&type=post&access_token=XXXXXXXXXX
but I am getting different results when I execute a query via graph API and via the Facebook web...
I am using the same user (I get a access_token from the same user that I uses to search via web).
I tested this text query with dif. browsers and with a java client and I have the same problem....
I was searching information about this topic, but It was impossible to find something.
Finally, I'd like to ask if someone know how this query customizes its results and if it is possible to parametize it.
Regards.
Update:
I am testing a query as:
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=mark&type=user&access_token=XXXXXXX
but I don't receive results. I don't understand how it is possible which Facebook doesn't find users named Mark..... I suppose I have to use some parameter (fields, f.e)... But It is not explained in the documentation....
Does the facebook api expose friends postcodes? Ie is it possible to make a call to the api and have it return a list of postcodes of your friends which have address information listed under the "friends only" privacy setting?
In short no. Very few people have their addresses on Facebook and the graph API does not expose those fields anyway, just like it does not expose mobile phone numbers.
I recently came up with a workaround for an application of my own. Through Facebook permissions, pull the users location (City, State) out of his/her basic information. With that, you can make an HTTP request to the Google Geocoding API. Make sure to pass the users City and State, and in return, the API will spit out a JSON encoded response containing a handful of useful data -- including the postal code that you're looking for.
