I have been working to create an API which programatically creates/updates work item in Azure Devops. I have been able to create a work item and populate almost all fields. I have problem with setting the state.
When I am creating a POST request to Azure Devops rest api with any state name like "Active", "Closed", "Rejected", it throws a 400 Bad Request error.
I don't know if I am missing anything or if there something wrong with the way I am trying to set the value.
{
"op" : "add",
"path": "/fields/System.State",
"value"="Active",
}
I have found the solution to this problem and hence I am answering it here.
I was getting a 400 Bad Request error whenever I tried Creating an Item and Setting the state in the same call. I debugged the code and caught the exception. I found out that, there are some validation rules for some of the fields. State is one of them.
The rule for System.State field is, whenever a Work Item is created it takes its configured default value. ( In my case it was "Proposed", in your case it could be "New"). If you try altering the value at the time of work item creation, it throws a 400 Bad Request.
What should I do if I have to Create a Work Item with a specific State?
As of now, the solution that I have found out is to make two calls. One for Work Item Creation and another for Changing the state of the work item to desired state.
CreateWorkItem()
{
var result = await _client.Post(url, jsonData);
var result2 = await _client.Put(result.id, jsonData); // or maybe just the state
return Ok(result2);
}
Check the example here: Update a field
You have to use "value":"Active" in the request body.
[
{
"op" : "add",
"path": "/fields/System.State",
"value": "Active"
}
]
In an answer to this 2014 post
Unable to retrieve members of a google group, getting Invalid Input
you read: "There is no API to manage consumer googlegroups.com groups programatically".
Is this still the situation in 2018?
I tried to follow the suggestion in answer 3 of the post How to get the list of members in a Google group in Google app script (Admin SDK)? but I get the following error message:
ReferenceError: "AdminDirectory" is not defined. (line 9, file "Code")
where line 9 (and following) is (are):
page = AdminDirectory.Members.list(groupKey,
{
domainName: 'googlegroups.#com',
maxResults: 500,
pageToken: pageToken,
});
Searching to understand the error I found the reference page for Members: list. Using the "Try this API" form in that page I get the error reported in the first post I mentioned.
If it is NOT true that "There is no API to manage consumer googlegroups.com groups programatically", is there a guide to copy the list of the members of a group I own in a google-sheet sheet? (I mean to copy via a function, non by hand exporting and reimporting the CSV)
Many thanks, Roberto Scotti
It's 2021 and I still can't find any evidence there's an API for #googlegroups.com groups, sadly.
I'm trying to use the embedded Google Assistant service (https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/reference/rpc/google.assistant.embedded.v1alpha2) to send some text queries from an app I'm writing in Rust. As there's no official client library and I haven't been able to get either of the GRPC libraries I've tried working, I'm POSTing an AssistRequest proto directly to https://embeddedassistant.googleapis.com/$rpc/google.assistant.embedded.v1alpha2.EmbeddedAssistant/Assist. After getting the appropriate OAuth token and registering a device ID, I send a proto like this:
config {
text_query: "what's the time"
audio_out_config {
encoding: MP3
sample_rate_hertz: 16000
}
screen_out_config {
screen_mode: PLAYING
}
dialog_state_in {
language_code: "en-US"
}
device_config {
device_id: "my_device_id"
device_model_id: "<my model id>"
}
}
(with a valid device_id and device_model_id filled in). However, I always get a 400 back, with the error
"Invalid \'AssistConfig\': audio_in_config or text_query must be provided."
Why am I getting this error, when text_query is clearly filled in? I get the same error if I try setting audio_in_config.
Answering my own question, it turned out I needed to wrap the request in a StreamBody proto, putting the serialised AssistRequest in the message field. This was not documented anywhere I could see though!
I am trying to update Jira issue fields through REST Api, I am able to update summary, description, priority, reporter fields but the status.
Here is the code I am trying to run:
string jSonContent = (#"
{
""fields"": {
""summary"": ""data"",
""description"": ""modified."",
""priority"": {""name"": ""val""},
""reporter"": {""name"": ""abcdef#gmail.com""},
""status"": {""name"": ""WORK IN PROGRESS""}
}
}").Replace("data", summ).Replace("modified.", desc).Replace("val", pri);
request.AddParameter("application/json", jSonContent, ParameterType.RequestBody);
var response = Execute(request);
You cannot change the status of an issue the way like that.
To determine what type of fields could be changed with a simple PUT request do a GET for metadata:
https://{your-jira-url}/rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/editmeta
This query in turn will provide you all the fields that you can modify. You won't find status field in the returned JSON object.
Back to your problem: How could be the status of an issue changed? In Jira you have a workflow that holds the possible transition between the states. In order to change the state you need to do a transition. (Exactly the same way as you would do it on UI.)
So first do a GET request like that:
https://{your-jira-url}/rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/transitions?expand=transitions.fields
This request will return all possible transitions of your issue's current state. Check which transition you want to perform and note it's ID (in my case the wished ID is 11). With this transition ID you can do a POST request with the JSON payload:
https://{your-jira-url}/rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/transitions
{
"transition": {
"id": "11"
}
}
One additional thing to note: If your transition isn't a simple one then you have to provide more data. I mean a simple transition here where you simply would click on a button on the UI and you wouldn't get an extra screen for the transition. (E.g. you can setup a transition like: you only could resolve an issue if you add a comment to it.) Fortunately, the previously returned transition list contains all the fields that could or that must be provided together with the transition ID.
You can find more information in official Jira documentation.
I'm trying to retrive the data from my channel using the YouTube Data API V3.
For that I need my channel ID.
I've tried to find my channel ID from my YouTube account, and I failed in every single way.
If anyone have a single tip for me, I would be incredible glad.
This is the URL that I'm using to retrieve the data:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?id=fjTOrCPnAblTngWAzpnlMA&key={YOUR_API_KEY}&part=snippet,contentDetails,statistics
The ID is for the channel ID, and the key, I'm replacing the {YOUR_API_KEY} with my API KEY generated at my Google API console.
My channel ID is not:
- klauskkpm
- klausmachado
- klausmachado#gmail.com
- fjTOrCPnAblTngWAzpnlMA
My channel is: http://www.youtube.com/user/klauskkpm
To obtain the channel id you can view the source code of the channel page and find either data-channel-external-id="UCjXfkj5iapKHJrhYfAF9ZGg" or "externalId":"UCjXfkj5iapKHJrhYfAF9ZGg".
UCjXfkj5iapKHJrhYfAF9ZGg will be the channel ID you are looking for.
An easy answer is, your YouTube Channel ID is UC + {YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID}.
To be sure of your YouTube Channel ID or your YouTube account ID, access the advanced settings at your settings page
And if you want to know the YouTube Channel ID for any channel, you could use the solution #mjlescano gave.
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?key={YOUR_API_KEY}&forUsername={USER_NAME}&part=id
If this could be of any help, some user marked it was solved in another topic right here.
You can get the channel ID with the username (in your case "klauskkpm") using the filter "forUsername", like this:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?key={YOUR_API_KEY}&forUsername=klauskkpm&part=id
More info here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list
At any channel page with "user" url for example http://www.youtube.com/user/klauskkpm, without API call, from YouTube UI, click a video of the channel (in its "VIDEOS" tab) and click the channel name on the video. Then you can get to the page with its "channel" url for example https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfjTOrCPnAblTngWAzpnlMA.
I just found the simplest way to find the channel ID of any YouTube channel !!
Step 1: Play a video of that channel.
Step 2: Click the channel name under that video.
Step 3: Look at the browser address bar.
June 2021 edition.
Right click and view page source.
Search for "externalId", the value follows.
Source: comment by Daniel 2017.
Alternative: run this JavaScript in console:
ytInitialData.metadata.channelMetadataRenderer.externalId
An alternative to get youtube channel ID by channel url without API:
function get_youtube_channel_ID($url){
$html = file_get_contents($url);
preg_match("'<meta itemprop=\"channelId\" content=\"(.*?)\"'si", $html, $match);
if($match && $match[1])
return $match[1];
}
As of 2022-06-23:
Open Chrome Dev Tools (F12), and in the "Elements" tab, within the source code pane, depending on URL type:
A. For channel URLs of type: www.youtube.com/c/<channel_name>:
Search for either:
"externalId" - next to it there will be the channel_ID
"channelUrl" - next to it there will be: https://www.youtube.com/channel/<channel_ID>
or run in the console:
ytInitialData.metadata.channelMetadataRenderer.externalId
(credit: https://stackoverflow.com/a/68063136/624597)
B. For video URLs of type: www.youtube.com/watch?v=<video_ID>:
Search for either:
"externalId" - next to it there will be the channel_ID
"externalChannelId" - next to it there will be the channel_ID
"ownerProfileUrl" - next to it there will be: https://www.youtube.com/channel/<channel_ID>
or run in the console:
ytInitialPlayerResponse.microformat.playerMicroformatRenderer.externalChannelId
Channel id with the current youtube version is obtained very easily if you login to YouYube website and select 'My channel'
Your channel ID will be displayed on the address bar of your browser
https://www.youtube.com/account_advanced now provides both channel and user ids. See also https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/working_with_channel_ids .
2017 Update: Henry's answer may be a little off the mark here. If you look for data-channel-external-id in the source code you may find more than one ID, and only the first occurrence is actually correct. Get the channel_id used in <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<VALUE_HERE"> instead.
To obtain the channel id you can do the following request which gives you the channel id and playlist id.
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=contentDetails%2C+statistics%2Csnippet&mine=true&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
mine parameter means the current authorized user
as u said channel id is prefixed with UC+{your account id} which you get while login, you can use this one also without requesting the above url you can directly call the channel api with your google id and just prefix with UC
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=contentDetails%2C+statistics%2Csnippet&id=UC{your account id}&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
Apparently there is a channelId attribute in video page's source code;
To get Channel id
Ex: Apple channel ID
Select any of the video in that channel
Select iPhone - Share photos (video)
Now click on channel name Apple bottom of the video.
Now you will get channel id in browser url
Here this is Apple channel id : UCE_M8A5yxnLfW0KghEeajjw
Try to search for regular expression UC[-_0-9A-Za-z]{21}[AQgw] in source code. This ID is presented even if channel has non-ASCII characters in URL:
Here is screenshot of internal viewer/editor of Midnight Commander, it has regexp search:
Alternatives to get the channel URL with its ID.
With a CSS selector by searching the channel homepage source code:
body > link[rel="canonical"]
or with JS via the console:
document.querySelector('body > link[rel="canonical"]').href
Another method to find the ID of a channel that is not yours is to go to the channel page and press the red "Subscribe" button.
Then use the Chrome's Inspector tools Network tab and look for the POST request issued by the subscribe action. In the payload of this request you will find the channel id:
You can unsubscribe immediately after subscribing.
Now in 2023, typing this in console should work:
document.querySelectorAll('[itemprop="channelId"]')[0].content
