In my application I have to add a button, and display the number of stars received from YELP as shown in this image: , and upon clicking it I should navigate to a new View that will show the Yelp reviews.
1.) I have read the Yelp API, and was unable to find a way to append the Store Name to get its ratings in Yelp.
For example: I need to get the YELP ratings of Agra Indian Restaurant, so how should I get the JSON return values pertaining to Agra Indian Restaurant?
Is there any tutorial or sample code that illustrates how I could get this done?
You can get some examples form here:https://github.com/Yelp/yelp-api/tree/master/v2/ .I used php examples.Since the Search Parameters doesn`t contain the store name, you can using the business name as the "term" query parameter and the full business address as the "location"
parameter.
It's worth noting that if you know the business you're looking for specifically, you're
better off using the Phone API to look up info directly.

I'm doing a project where the Google Assistant generates a list of cards about information on research articles. Each card on the list would have the title and URL to the research article. The Google Assistant would ask what subject you wants to research about and the user would reply with the subject matter in one or two words. I have the following questions
I understand that the app.buildList() command requires an alias and key variable. Could I level them as blank or null in my code because I don't think I need them
If the user clicks on the URL in a card, will the browser automatically open the link? I remember reading that Google must filter and approve URLs in Google assistant apps
Any help would be appreciated
You should probably populate the relevant fields for each API call in order to handle various types of user inputs. The key is used to identify the item that is being said. If a list is shown, you will need to use the key to identify which is clicked. The user may click on the list item to select it. However, they could also say the thing they want. That is where the aliases are useful.
Let's say you were grabbing a list of scholarly articles. While long articles may not lend themselves well to voice, it could be designed like:
function list () {
const app = new DialogflowApp({request, response});
app.askWithList('Alright! Here are some articles about memristors! Which do you want?',
// Build a list
app.buildList('Memristor Research')
// Add the first item to the list
.addItems(app.buildOptionItem('TITLE_OF_FIRST_PAPER',
['title of first paper', 'first'])
.setTitle('Title of First Paper')
.setDescription('S. Smith, Ph. D')
// Add the second item to the list
.addItems(app.buildOptionItem('TITLE_OF_SECOND_PAPER',
['title of second paper', 'second'])
.setTitle('Title of Second Paper')
.setDescription('H. Paul, Ph. D')
)
);
}
In this snippet, if I say I want the first article, it will give me that one without me having to give the full title while still keeping the interaction hands-free. The key will let me identify the article that should be read.
You can use the title of the paper or perhaps the link URL in order to handle it and present a card with more information including the URL.
You do not need to have each URL manually approved. The documentation states:
Links to sites outside the developer's domain are allowed.
Link text cannot be misleading. This is checked in the approval process.
As long as you are being straightforward about it, users will be able to directly open the paper in a browser by clicking on the link in the card.
More information is available in the documentation
You can create list in action on google should have minimum of two values and maximum of 30 values.

If you go to business manager of facebook, then go to the "All Audiences", then under the "Audiences" tab, you will see a "Filters" button right beside the "Create Audience" button. Now my question is, which part the json data being provided by the facebook apis should I based the data that I should pull out based from these filters ?
- Recently Used
- In Active Adverts
- Action Needed
- Shared
Because unlike the "ready" and "not ready" status, those four filters that I mentioned are not straight forward where I can just look for the numbers from the returned json data. so how ?
Most likely, not all of this information is available through the API.
However, if you take a look at the following doc, you can see some reelvant fields that may help:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/reference/custom-audience
Most likely you can use the field operation_status to look at whether an audience needs action.
For whether it's shared, take a look ad the edge adaccounts which will let you see the ad accounts this audience has been shared with.
For recently used, you'll probably have to look at the edge ads and review the status of the ads.
To save having to make multiple requests, you can take a look at field expansion in the Graph API, which will let you query for fields of objects in results using a single request:

I am looking to build a simple application that could search for specific # in a specific GEO location.
For example:
{#cupcakes #sweets ---- in Dallas TX}
So when a user types in the hashtags only result they will see will be results within 100 miles of desired location. Are there parameters like that within APIs for Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter? Thank you.
Check out the twitter search api:
Geolocalization: the search operator “near” isn’t available in the API, but there is a more precise way to restrict your query by a given location using the geocode parameter specified with the template “latitude,longitude,radius”, for example, “37.781157,-122.398720,1mi”. When conducting geo searches, the search API will first attempt to find Tweets which have lat/long within the queried geocode, and in case of not having success, it will attempt to find Tweets created by users whose profile location can be reverse geocoded into a lat/long within the queried geocode, meaning that is possible to receive Tweets which do not include lat/long information.
I use yahoo weather api to build an app for notification in iPhone.
I record the api data everyday and I found an interesting thing.
Some weather conditions' description are different with the api list.
Such as today's weather description is : Thunderstorms Late
But in http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/ you couldn't find "Thunderstorms Late".
Because I should translate the weather description to Chinese so I need all conditions' description.
Besides,current condition's description are also can't be found in the api list.
I doubt that is there another api list of Yahoo weather?
There is no other API call to get just the list of conditions. My suggestion would be to translate the conditions as listed on the documentation page (codes 0-47). In the (hopefully rare) case of getting a condition not on the list, you can catch those programmatically and add translations over time.
I developed an app that looks for specific terms using the facebook api (search).
Every result comes with an ID for the item that can be of many types like "status","photos",etc.
I remember that some time ago I could surf facebook and get this URLs from the browser address bar, but now with some updates that facebook has made it seems to be all AJAX based calls and it seems like you do not have a "specific page" for each item.
I looked over the web and could not find anything regarding this.
Is there any way I can get a "photo id" from the API and open it like "http://facebook.com/photos/0293820293842"?
Thanks for any clue.
https://graph.facebook.com/{id}/picture
https://graph.facebook.com/40796308305/picture (by page id)
https://graph.facebook.com/cocacola/picture (by page's name)
https://graph.facebook.com/4/picture (by user id)
https://graph.facebook.com/4/zuck (by user name)
after some time I just gave up trying to get the picture from the data provided by the search API.
From the api I get entries of type "photo" but they do not match with the API documentation found at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/photo/ since I do not receive the fields "picture", "source" or "images" (they just does not exist in the results from a search)
Looking to find a way to use the approach of "setting up the URL from the fields received from the API" I could not get any sucess either.
That's one case... I set up a search for "pepsi"... and within the results I got a "photo" object.
In this object I have the following fields:
id: 100002307882828_188072634633218
author\id: 100002307882828
link : "http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=320417371337648&set=a.133681116677942.17717.131381520241235&type=1" (this link really points to the photo's page, but is not the photo itself)
object_id: 320417371337648
I used the URL you provided as a "base" and tried to setup some combination that returns me a photo but I always get "Content not found" as result.
The only way I could find the final photo URL is to make another call to the API using the Photo Id as parameter (but I would need to do a lot of calls to the API and this just do not fit my scenario)
If I call https://graph.facebook.com/320417371337648 I get everything I need from the photo, but this is the "another call" I would need to perform for each result I get.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Regards,
Victor Reboucas
