Is there a way using either iTunes connect or the API to check the total number of application sales for a particular app since release. I am just curious as ITC on the iPhone only seems to show 26 weeks when displaying totals, so it missed off the first 20+ weeks. (the app has been out for about 50 weeks).
I would just like to see Release to Now, total sales = 4067 is this possible?

From the Apple User Guide for the Financial Reports (available at bottom of iTunes Connect page):
We do not store or regenerate the data after the periods have expired
(14 rolling days and 13 rolling weeks); you will need to download and
store this data on a regular basis if you intend to use it in the
future.

So the answer is: no. It's so ridiculous -- 500GB of storage costs peanuts (yes I know IT storage costs more, redundancy, management, backups, archiving, blah blah, etc.), but it's still cheap. Apple could keep a "total shipped" record and it wouldn't hurt them.

You might want to have a look in the section "Payments and Financial Reports" within iTunes Connect. There's an overview of your total sales within the "Summary" tab . However this view is only updated on a monthly basis.

From the "Sales and Trends" iTunes Connect FAQ
How long are reports available for download?
Weekly Report: Thirteen (13) rolling weeks prior to the current week are available for download.
Daily Report: Seven (7) rolling days prior to the current day are available for download.
Information is only available for the periods following the date when the reporting was activated in iTunes Connect. Reporting is generally activated prior to any sales on the App Store.

You need to store you own records, Apple only stores a limited amount for documented time periods.
But if you look at your financial reports, they may contain data covering earlier months.
Added: In fact, for the correct sales or download numbers, one should only use the monthly financial reports, as Apple says that the daily and weekly trend reports should only be used for estimation purposes.

The iOS iTunesConnect app will show you data for the prior 26 (and 13 and 5 etc) weeks. This can help if you missed some weekly data from the ITC www mothership.

There is now. We (appfigures.com) are actually in the process of testing functionality that uses all of the data sets Apple gives (along with some magic) to give you an accurate all-time total for all metrics (downloads, sales, updates, etc).
We have this in beta right now so if you'd like to give it a try contact us directly through the site and we'll get you in. We're hoping to make this available to all users very soon.
FYI - This new feature works even if you've just opened a new appFigures account.

I don't rely on Apple, I just check my Google analytics report for total uniques and just infer from that.

Now, apple provides reports until 2008.
So, i downloaded the previous years, months, weeks and days reports and concatenated them together with excel to get the total downloads and updates using excel filters.

You can view sales by day, week, month and year by clicking the date in the top right hand corner of the Sales and Trends report for your app in iTunes Connect.
it seems to go back a few years, so should show you the figures you need.

it seems apple has updated the available periods as below from AppStoreReportingInstructions :
Reports are only available at certain times and only retained for
certain periods. Reports should be downloaded regularly for your
records.
• Daily reports include data for the previous day in the selected territory and are retained for 30 days.
• Weekly reports include data starting on Monday and ending on Sunday of the previous week. Weekly reports are available on Mondays
and retained for 26 weeks.
• Monthly reports are available five days after the month’s end date and are retained for 12 months.
• Yearly reports are available six days after the year’s end date and are retained indefinitely.
• All reports are generally available by 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PT).
Apple does not store or regenerate the data after these periods have expired.

azure devop project stats longer than 30 days?

In azure devop, we can see the project stats, for example this one. But it is only showing upto 30 days activities.
I am wondering if there is a way (maybe some API call) to show activities over a whole year? We area trying to do a end of year report for big boss and would be nice to show how many deployments we done,how many PR were completed etc over the whole year.
By checking the API that it called behind the scenes, you should have something like
https://ORG.visualstudio.com/GUI/_apis/build/Metrics/Daily?minMetricsTime=2021-11-05T13%3A08%3A08.556Z
You can manipulate this value on browser and change the date to an older one for example (2020-12-16)
As I am not working with an Azure Devops repos for long time I cannot test the behavior, but it maybe work.

"14 days availability" OpenMapTiles.com data

my name's Diego.
I'm a passionate 3D drawer, and i'm about to starting a nice project which needed some satellite and hillshading images from a region of the France.
I've seen that in https://openmaptiles.com/ you can choose to buy a one-time data of a specific area, and i've bought both the satellite and hillshading data for the region i needed.
In my page, where i can download the data, it shows a phrase:
"List of created dataset. These extracts are available for 14 days."
What it means? i can't use what i've bought for over 14 days? or just the link disappear? because my project it lasts over 14 days, i thought if i bought data it can be used offline forever (ofc not updated).
Someone can explain this?
thank you in advance,
have a nice day!
Diego
Thanks for the purchase from OpenMapTiles.com!
The download link for the extract expires and the extract is deleted from our servers in 14 days after the purchase. You can download the extract anytime during these 14 days. Unfortunately, the extracts cannot remain on our servers as we would run out of the storage capacity quickly.
In case this wouldn't be suitable for you, you can subscribe to one of the production packages available at https://openmaptiles.com/production-package/. This way, all the data for the whole planet would be available for you anytime.
Have a nice day as well and we wish you good luck with your project!

How do I find out how many minutes I have remaining in my month for IBM's speech to text service?

IBM charges me by the minute (with 1000 free minutes per month, quite generous) for its speech to text services through Bluemix. I have a lot of text to transcribe and I don't mind paying a little. What I want to know is how many minutes I've used or, failing that, a little about how the minutes are calculated. For instance, if there's a minimum time charge for each API request (e.g. 1 minute per request), I may use up my minutes much more quickly than I would expect with my set of short transcripts. I've looked on my Bluemix dashboard and haven't found any description of precise billing information or a running total of minutes used this month.
Thanks,
Sam
The question is off-topic for Stackoverflow because it isn't a technical problem. However, you can find information in the Managing You Account section of the documentation. If your question about billing is not covered in that section, you can email billing#bluemix.net.

Google Reports Audit Calendar stopped working

For some reason the report screen is stopped from five days ago. Any idea?
This is likely the expected delay of Reports that can been seen in the Admin console. Generally, the Reports section is 3-5 days old (the same delay would be seen with the Reports API).
This current delay is also being discussed on Google for Work Connect here.
If you see this extending longer than a week behind, I'd recommend reaching out to GfW Support.

iPhone app versions: release micro-updates often, or major updates less frequently?

I released a new iPhone app 5 days ago. Already it has received high ratings, and many downloads, so I think it can be quite successful. (It's currently ranked in the top 10 paid music apps.)
What do you think is the best release strategy:
Release many micro-updates, often. (Just 1 or 2 new features per update, as they are completed.)
or
Release major updates less frequently. (Perhaps one new version every 1 or 2 months.)
The app is currently priced at $0.99 USD. Originally I planned to raise the price after the first major update. But if the app continues to sell well, I may leave the price alone.
Just curious to know how others have handled their app release cycles. Thanks!
Apple suggests (here):
High frequency updates - crashes or data loss
Updates to your application
that address crashing and data loss
should be submitted as frequently as
necessary. Fixing as many related bugs
as possible in each update is highly
recommended.
Medium frequency updates - minor
enhancements and usability
improvements Consider a release
schedule between two to four weeks
that groups together updates which do
not affect the core functionality of
your application, such as user
interface improvements, spelling
corrections, and minor functionality
enhancements.
Low frequency updates - new features
Applications with new features should
be submitted on a periodic, monthly
basis. A high frequency of new feature
updates suggests poor development
planning and can be confusing to your
customers.customers.
They say that submitting updates really often may impact the time it takes for your updates to get approved, (because each update has to be checked manually by the app store reviewers).
One reason for not updating too frequently is that frequent updates can be annoying to users. Each time, they have to key in their password and wait for it to download the update.
