Does Google provide API access to autocomplete for search like on the actual site? I have not been able to find anything.
I would like to use Google's autocomplete logic for web search on my own site which relies on Google's search API.
The new url is:
http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q=YOURQUERY
the client part is required; I did't test other clients.
[EDIT]
If you want the callback use this:
http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=chrome&q=YOURQUERY&callback=callback
As #Quandary found out; the callback does not work with client "firefox".
[EDIT2]
As indicated by # user2067021 this api will stop working as of 10-08-2015: Update on the Autocomplete API
First, go to google, click Settings (bottom right corner), change Search Settings to "never show instant results. That way, you'll get regular autocomplete instead of a full page of instant results.
After your settings are saved, go back to the Google main home page. Open your browser's developer tools and go to the Network tab. If you're in Firefox, you might have to reload the page.
Type a letter in the search box. A new line should appear in the Network window you just opened. That line is showing where the autocomplete data came from. Copy that url. It should look something like this:
https://www.google.com/complete/search?client=hp&hl=en&sugexp=msedr&gs_rn=62&gs_ri=hp&cp=1&gs_id=9c&q=a&xhr=t&callback=hello
You'll notice your search term right after the part that says q=.
Add &callback=myAmazingFunction to the end of the url. You may replace myAmazingFunction with whatever you want to name your function that will handle the data.
Here's an example of the code required to show the autocomplete data for the search term "a".
<div id="output"></div>
<script>
/* this function shows the raw data */
function myAmazingFunction(data){
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = data;
}
</script>
<script src="https://www.google.com/complete/search?client=hp&hl=en&sugexp=msedr&gs_rn=62&gs_ri=hp&cp=1&gs_id=9c&q=a&xhr=t&callback=hello&callback=myAmazingFunction"></script>
Now that you know how to get the data, the next step is to automatically change that last script (the one with the autocomplete url). The basic procedure is: each time the user types something in the search box (onkeyup) replace the search term (q=whatever) in the url, and then append to the body a script with that url. Remove the previous script so that the body doesn't get cluttered.

Most of the above mentioned methods works for me, specifically the following serves my purpose.
http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q=YOURQUERY
Being a newbie in web programming, I'm not much aware of the "Callback" functionality and the format of the file returned by query. I'm little aware of AJAX and JSON.
Could someone provide more details about the format of file returned by the query.
Thanks.
Hi I don't know if this answer is relevant for you anymore or not but google returns JSON data through following get request (although this isn't an official API but many toolbars are using this API so there's no reason why google might discontinue it):
http://google.com/complete/search?q=<Your keywords here>&hl=en
You should use AutocompleteService and pass that text box value into the service.getPlacePredictions function. It send the data in callback function.
let service = new google.maps.places.AutocompleteService();
let displaySuggestions = function(predictions, status) {
}
service.getPlacePredictions({
input: value
}, displaySuggestions);
Base: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/places-autocomplete-service#AutocompleteService.getPlacePredictions
example: https://dzone.com/articles/implement-and-optimize-autocomplete-with-google-pl
I'm using (( Edrra.com )) API that have google search and suggestions that works with both GET & POST:
Google suggestions:
https://edrra.com/v1/api.php?c=google&f=suggest&k=YOUR_API_KEY&v=YOUR_SEARCH
Google search:
https://edrra.com/v1/api.php?c=google&f=search&k=YOUR_API_KEY&v=YOUR_SEARCH
and more...
What are you trying to use an auto-complete for? More information would help narrow it down.
As far as I know, google does not provide one, but they do exist like jQuery UI's auto-complete.
EDIT:
If you are using their custom search API view here for autocomplete.

I'm struggling with how to find the content status of a page in Confluence.
My end goal is to be able to change/update via the API.
I've added the list of statuses already in the Manage space section. I have successfully pulled the content of a page as well as its properties, but I can’t seem to find where the content status is stored.
Here is the URI I'm using:
https://MyDomain.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/145468621376?expand=space,body.storage,view,version.status,container,extentions
That Status is not present in OOB Confluence, so I suppose it is some third-party app from Atlassian Marketplace and you need to check with their documentation how to interact with it.
Of course, you can directly use the REST API to get page content as a string (HTML) and change its content, e.g. using Python (Atlassian Python API’s documentation)
Page actions
def my_page = confluence.get_page_property(page_id, page_property_key)
def new_body = my_page.body.replace("<macro .....>", "<new status in HTML>")
confluence.update_or_create(parent_id, title, new_body, representation='storage')
Finally sorted it out with the help of Atlassian support. If their documentation was correct it would've been super easy to do this.
https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content-states/#api-group-content-states
Heres the catch. when you GET the status you have to add on the parameter for status even though its optional. so your get string needs to look like this:
your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content{id}/state?status=current
Same goes for setting the new state. You have to add on the status parameter to the uri.
I wanted to get all the events from the Meetup.com whichever I have enrolled.
I am not quite understanding :urlname.
Can you please suggest me the API / REST Call.
Thanks,
Raja K
You can do this easily in the Meetup.com api console - the endpoint is GET /2/events.
You will want to enter the parameters:
rsvp=yes,
member_id=self,
status=past,
page=200,
desc=false,
omit=description
Then click on Show Response. You can either read the response there or I find it easier to copy the signed link and paste it into a browser window and hit return. Then select all the JSON text that comes back and paste it into the left pane in http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/ and tap the little arrow to get it mapped into fields in the right hand pane
I've been using Crossrider's great API for some time now, however I have reached a great block in my progress.
I have been able to message the popup scope with the current domain through the tab change interrupts and the change of url interrupts. However, when I click the popup browser button, data about the current tab URL is supposed to be shown. Instead, such data is black, and when debugging - it was found that the reason for it being blank is either:
The current URL is being set to the popup extension internal URL
Some sort of bug with the popup logic
I am really stumped, and require such functionality to progress further. My Crossrider ID is 52909.
Thanks!
First and foremost, when posting questions to this forum please include code snippets for the benefit of others so that they can try an assist you. As-is they have no access to the extension code you provided.
Looking at your popup.html code, I can see that you are using the following Crossrider API methods that are not supported in the popup scope: appAPI.resources.includeJS, appAPI.webRequest.onRequest. For more information about API supported in the popup scope, see appAPI.browserAction.setPopup.
As alternatives/workarounds:
For appAPI.resources.includeJS, you can use the jquery to load resources scripts, as follows: $.globalEval(appAPI.resources.get('script.js'));
For appAPI.webRequest.onRequest, implement it in the background scope and use messaging to pass the data to the popup scope, something like:
background.js:
appAPI.ready(fucntion($) {
appAPI.webRequest.onRequest.addListener(function(details, opaqueData) {
appAPI.message.toPopup(details);
}, []);
});
crossriderMain in popup.html:
function crossriderMain($) {
appAPI.message.addListener(function(details) {
// Do something with the details from webRequest
});
}

I would like to know if Google Analytics automatically keeps track of the pages that have their state retained using the ajax history token ('#'), developed for example with GWT.
My app has a single html page and different modules (pages) have the same URL, except that part that comes after # (ex. www.mysite.com?test=true#page=Contacts/id=1).
Also, if this mentioned behavior is not by default, is there a way to set up the Google Analyics to have this functionality ?
EDIT:
I found this article which explains how #hashtag can be tracked:
http://www.searchenginepeople.com/blog/how-to-track-clicks-on-anchors-in-google-analytics.html
But, if i use this solution, will the page access be recorded when a user presses an Anchor with href'#hastag' or only when a a page is accessed directly with that hashtag (in that case, I should register a function that calls trackPageview when history changes)?
Google tracks the # just fine. You just need to take it actually receives the # as-is (in our case the # got url-encoded to %23 and we had to use a search-and-replace-filter to restore it).
The most elegant way would be probably to look in GA admin into the instructions for the advanced filter - there is a nice example how to rewrite obscure URls into something readable by humans in the reports, which could be easily adapted for your needs.
I added the following lines to the initial analytics script:
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', location.pathname + location.search + location.hash]);
and
window.onhashchange = function(){
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview',location.pathname + location.search + location.hash]);
}
which tracks the history change.
I've got GWT module where I do some stuff and I have search results - doesn't matter in which form. Now after searching, and clicking on for example "Export to HTML" button,I would like to create new html page (for example from client side code by creating simple string which contains only listed results of searching list of results ) and open it in new browser window. I know that there is Window.open(...) method, but there I must specify url which i don't have. I want to create this new html page by client side - without server inference (I don't want to create some resource on server side and then paste url to this resource to client side). Is there any possibility to achieve this? If there is no option, other method which would satisfy me, is to open standard dialog box for saving, which will allow to save results in a html file.
Thanks for helps.
Kind regards.
Here's the code I use to print:
native void openPrintWindow(String contents) /*-{
var printWindow = window.open("", "PrintWin");
if (printWindow && printWindow.top) {
printWindow.document.write(contents);
printWindow.print();
printWindow.close();
} else {
alert("The print feature works by opening a popup window, but our popup window was blocked by your browser. If you can disable the blocker temporarily, you'll be able to print here. Sorry!");
}
}-*/;
Seems like you could adapt it for your purposes with some simple rewording and by removing the call to print()! The contents variable just holds flat HTML. There are no trips to the server.
openPrintWindow("<h1>Search Results</h1><ol><li>etc...");
The method of opening new window from client js which allows user to save that generated content from browser's save as menu is data:url scheme, content written to opened page via println usualy not saved. But data:url works only in morden browsers. And the content written should be quite small to fit browser's url length resteiction.
See example from this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme#JavaScript
