I want to get only results that are related to health and for that I used below api.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=23.0225,72.5714&radius=500&types=hospital&sensor=false&key="API_KEY"
Above API gives me the results related to Health but I don't want to pass location lat long Parameter.
Actually I want to search it with "input" Param like below.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=Ahmedabad&types=hospital&radius=500&key="API_KEY"
But above give me error like below
{
"predictions" : [],
"status" : "INVALID_REQUEST"
}
How can I get this type of results?
Thanks in Advance.
The places autocomplete request from your question has several issues.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=Ahmedabad&types=hospital&radius=500&key=API_KEY
If you remove the location parameter, you should remove the radius parameter as well. It doesn't make sense without location.
hospital is not allowed value in types filter of autocomplete. If you check the documentation, you will see that the only possible values are:
geocode
address
establishment
(regions)
(cities)
Place autocomplete might return only 5 suggestions. I think you are looking for something different.
Also, be aware that radar search mentioned in the comments is now deprecated and will stop working in June 2018.

I would suggest having a look at Places API text search. Your query with Places API text search might be
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=Ahmedabad&type=hospital&key=YOUR_API_KEY
The text search can return up to 60 results divided into pages of 20 results. For your particular example, I got the following output
Hope this helps!

Is there any way to give Google Maps API or a similar API a town name and have it return a random address inside the town? I was hoping to be able to get the data as a JSON so I could parse it with SwiftyJSON in XCode and use it, but I can't seem to find any way to get the address in the first place. If coordinates would be easier to get, then those would work too, as long as its random and inside the town borders.
You can try to use Google Places API Web Service. It allows you to query for place information on a variety of categories, such as: establishments, prominent points of interest, geographic locations, and more. You can search for places either by proximity or a text string. A Place Search returns a list of places along with summary information about each place.
A Nearby Search lets you search for places within a specified area. You can refine your search request by supplying keywords or specifying the type of place you are searching for.
A Nearby Search request is an HTTP URL of the following form:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/output?parameters
where output may be either xml or JSON values.
And if you want either address or coordinates, you can use Geocoding for it. Here i found a tutorial on how to use Geocoding in IOS.
I would like to search for a tweets within a range of between dates by using Twitter API v1.1
let Query query=new QUery(String query);
what is the query thats suits for my question ??
Thanks in advance for reply back.
I suggest setting until to limit your query to an upper date bound, e.g.:
query.setUntil("2014-07-01");
Then step back through the result set, by making subsequent search calls, until you hit your lower date bound.
Be aware that the search API may not contain all Tweets and it may not 'go back' as far as you need. For more information on it, and other query parameters, take a look at Twitter's documentation on searching.
I want to get images of cities when city name is entered in search field in iOS. I am using flickr API but whenever I enter any longitude and latitude values, I only get returned an empty array. What should I do. I am using this URL:
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.geo.photosForLocation&api_key=e3d577010e5979a2ad2a22714abd901e&lat=40.6700&lon=73.9400&format=json&nojsoncallback=1&auth_token=72157638668602974-e1a3a3aa1e6d3dd8&api_sig=a0233b016c863b1662aeb21a664c351a
Please tell me what should I do. any help appreciated
I suspect that you are seeking too precise a match on your lat-long. Use the &accuracy parameter to specify a less precise match. (The default value of 16 specifies a very precise match.) Flickr suggests a value of 11 to match at the city level, so add
&accuracy=11
to your URL.
Update
I have not had any luck retrieving images with flickr.photos.geo.photosForLocation, but I have retrieved images by lat-long with flickr.photos.search. Note this comment in the documentation:
Geo queries require some sort of limiting agent in order to prevent
the database from crying. This is basically like the check against
"parameterless searches" for queries without a geo component.
A tag, for instance, is considered a limiting agent as are user
defined min_date_taken and min_date_upload parameters — If no limiting
factor is passed we return only photos added in the last 12 hours
(though we may extend the limit in the future).
Also remember that longitudes of places in the Western Hemisphere are specified as negative numbers.
I'm using the following line in order to get geolocated tweets that contain a certain keyword. (I'm using the word Madonna)
https://stream.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/filter.json?track=Madonna&locations=-180,-90,180,90
My problem is that result is not consisted by geolocated tweets that contain the keyword Madonna, but is consisted by geolocated tweets in general.
Any help on what I'm doing wrong here?
"-180,-90,180,90" - it is worldwide location;
Currently for use "AND" instead of "OR" in Twitter stream API you need make request like this: https://stream.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/filter.json?locations=-74,40,-73,41 and filtered results by "Madonna" inside your app after. Unfortunatly, I can not find another way for today;
Filtering by locations can contain:
If coordinates is empty but place is populated, the region defined in
place is checked for intersection against the locations bounding box.
Any overlap will match.
Another, somewhat hack-y solution to this, is you can have a track key work that would never match, such as "dkghaskldfnascjkawenaf", and add a location bounding box.
The API does an OR relationship between tracking and location, you'll only receive tweets from within (or very nearby) the bounding box
I'd like to retrieve the tweets for given a hashtag and sort them from the most retweeted to the less retweeted.
The closest thing I've found is using the search call and use the type tag:
E.g.: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=TheHashTagHere&result_type=popular
However, I'm not sure on how "popular" option works.
For instance, if it finds 100 tweets with that hashtag I believe it should show the X most retweeted tweets, and if none of those tweets have been retweeted then it should show X of them randomly (or sorted in some other way like the most recent).
Unfortunately, if follows some kind of unknown rule to identify what's popular and what not and even hashtags with thousands of tweets might return only one or two results.
I hope I made myself clear. Thanks in advance :)
PS: I'll use PHP but I think that shouldn't affect the question?
Results will sometimes contain a
result_type field into the metadata
with a value of either "recent" or
"popular". Popular results are derived
by an algorithm that Twitter computes,
and up to 3 will appear in the default
mixed mode that the Search API
operates under. Popular results
include another node in the metadata
called recent_retweets. This field
indicates how many retweets the Tweet
has had.
Source (Emphasis are mine)
Just call with result_type=popular and check the recent_retweets node to see how popular it is. result_type=popular will become the default in an upcome release so beware if you omit this parameter.
Results with popular tweets aren't ordered chronologically. *
If you would like to always have results to show, use result_type=mixed: they will have the result_type in the "metadata" section with a value of "recent", and popular results will have "popular". A small reference about result_types:
mixed: Include both popular and real time results in the response.
recent: return only the most recent results in the response
popular: return only the most popular results in the response.
If a search query has any popular results, those will be returned at the top, even if they are older than the other results. *

This isn't a programmatic method but rather works in the browser with a chrome extension (HackyBird) :
Install the extension
Search for a phrase e.g. #Social (twitter.com/search?q=%23Social)
Click the extension to sort it (you can adjust the ratio of retweets/likes used for sorting in extension options).
P.S. It'll also sort your or any other user's timeline.
