Keywords Planner in Google Ads API - google-ads-api

I am trying to use Keywords Planner programmatically, through its API.I came across Generating Targeting Ideas, which pretty much summarizes the use. When I visit Get Started, it states
Try the new Google Ads API—which has the latest Google Ads features. The AdWords API is in maintenance mode and not being actively developed.
I visit Google Ads API, where I cannot find anything related to the Keyword Planner.
Has someone any idea if the planner is available through the new API, or do I have to use the old one?
Thanks,
Alexios

I'm currently working on converting an old Adwords cron job to the new Ads API. While I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, the old TargetingIdeaService has been replaced with a new KeywordPlanIdeaService (see https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/migration/services).
You can find examples for KeywordPlanIdeaService here:
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/samples/generate-keyword-ideas
Pay careful attention to how the code formats each selector field and using a helper class to format language and geotargeting codes. It's not the most intuitive way of passing paramters.

What is a good strategy for staying up-to-date with external API's?

My project is reliant on several API's, like Twitter and Youtube for example. Recently, Youtube deprecated their old API, and it caused issues with my team's iPad app.
We could have stayed ahead of the change if we were paying attention to Youtube's announcements of the upcoming deprecation. But alas, we were not and the idea of staying up to date with all of our dependencies manually(browsing the web) seems exhausting and inefficient.
I have found the following tool to help notify when changes occur with external library dependencies, https://libraries.io. However, this does not help with API dependencies.
Besides checking the API source webpages every so often, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to stay notified and up-to-date with news regarding updates to a specified list of external API's?
After some time looking at different options, I have found a solution that is not perfect, but seems to work best at fitting this need.
Solution Description
This solution uses a combination of Twitter, Google Scripts, and website blogtrottr.com. I am creating a twitter list of reliable dev handles that often post updates on new API. For example I made a list that contained #twitterapi and #YouTubeDev. Used Google Scripts to create an online feed out of the twitter list. Then used blogtrottr to email me every time that feed gets a new posting.
Steps to Implement
Create a twitter list of reliable handles that often post about updates to their API
Create an RSS Feed from that Twitter list. The details for how to do this can be found here.
Plug that url that you get from Google Script into blogtrotter.
I did find some other ways to do this, but so far this is the only solution that was 100% free!

What are the 'subtle changes' in Google Spreadsheets API?

Google is upgrading old spreadsheets to the new version of Google Sheets.
This is beginning to screw up a web service I'm running that uses the Google Spreadsheets API. I need to quickly make some code changes so it understands the new API, but I don't know where to start.
The above linked has only this to say:
APIs — You may notice some subtle differences in API behavior.
What are these 'subtle differences'? Why can't I find a list of what has changed?
Well one thing that changed is it no longer suports the old way of authenticating. You now have to use OAuth. I think this is where my problem was.

iOS: Google Calendar Example

Searching around the net for almost 1 day I still did not see any simple good example of an app that implements the Google Calendar API. Or even simple explanation on how to implement the API is still not available. Can someone help me please? I'm a newbie to iOS. I need to learn how to create an event using the Google Calendar API through my app in iOS. I need a sample simple code...
Here are some very useful links when trying to figure out the google calendar api. http://code.google.com/p/gdata-objectivec-client/wiki/GDataObjCIntroduction and mainly http://code.google.com/p/iphone-gcal/. I just downloaded the source code from the second link and worked from there. It was great!
The Google Calendar API, like most Google API's, provides a straightforward REST interface. Instead of focussing first on how to create calendar events, learn how to interact with a RESTful web service. Once you know how to do that, you only have to learn what calls to make to accomplish your goal, and that's already well documented.

Getting stats for Twitter app

I'm using Twitter's OAuth for my app (DroidIn)
To my dismay I can't find any way to track who and how often is using the app. Searching Twitter for "sent from DroidIn" does not yield any results. I suppose I can call some sort of counter app from my code but that doesn't seem to be fair to my users. Any ideas or suggestions?
It seems that yet again I have to answer my own question. After some investigation and feedback from question posted on Google Twitter developer group it seems that for now there are no stats easily accessible or available. Said that I found 2 interesting things:
You can search Twitter using source:yourapp switch. For example you can try this query
android source:API
There is very exciting streaming API from Twitter. I have a short write-up in my dev blog.
But if you want some actual stats there's no other choice today but implement it as part of your app. There's one more possibility if you have some sort of web-based interface you may want to use Google Analytics to trigger some Google javascript while submitting the update. I'm trying that right now and may end up with article in the blog
