Document embeddable url from Google Picker - google-docs-api

I used Google Picker API to get embeddable url for spreadsheets and to show it in widget in web-app.
But currently API returns object without such URL.
doc[google.picker.Document.EMBEDDABLE_URL] is undefined.
Is there any correct way to get embeddable url for document through API?

#GGamba
Yes, even we are facing same problem. EMBEDDABLE_URL is not being sent as part of the response. It was working until 2 days back. Though the documentation says Parameters will sent basing on the mime-type of the file. For PHOTO we have been getting this.
Suddenly it stopped working.
I have posted a query on the Google picker forum

PHP Youtube API: Search videos where a URL is within the description

I'm working on a site where they have recently changed their domain. I'm trying to get a list of all the videos that contain that domain and change to the new domain using the Youtube API.
I am using the developers PHP example on search list, changing the 'q' value to be equal the old website domain and also adding a channelId parameter so that it'll only search inside their channel.
The problem is that some of the results do not contain the old URL in the description. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
AFAIK there isn't any official YouTube Data API v3 endpoint to directly do what you are trying to.
If I were you I would list the YouTube channel's videos and then use Videos: list with part=snippet to retrieve their descriptions and then I would locally filter the retrieved descriptions.

Search YouTube API without login in

I'm creating an app where i would like to display video result from the YouTube site.
However, i do not want the user to register for this.
After i registered my app, and allowed "YouTube Data Api", Still when i'm calling from my app:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&maxResults=3&order=relevance&q=test&regionCode=AR&type=video&key={MyKey}
I'm getting back "forbidden (403)"
This issue suppose to be really simple, but i'm really straggling to get this to work, i'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the new API version 3.0, that you can not search without authentication?
Any help would be much appreciated thanks.
You can use below URL for searching of youtube videos using version3
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=nokialumia&key=#"API _KEY"&maxResults=20&pageToken=0
For suggestions of you tube videos you can use below link. It will gives you the data in XML format. You can parse and get results.
http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&ds=yt&q=nokialumia
If you want to use Version 2 use below link
Youtube Search using version 2.0
Hope it helps you...!
What kind of results do you want to see? Views, comments, share, likes? I think that you are not able to see any results by Youtube Data Api or Youtube Analytics API V3 without a valid key. You can find all error codes and their meanings from this link.
I hope it helps.

How to get links in comments from the YouTube api following the move to Google+ comments

In the new YouTube Google + comments system how can I retrieve comments that contain links.
For example if someone posts a link to another youtube video as follows:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZNHuFjnmUo
This gets converted to a link by the google plus system. The title of the video is shown as the text rather that the url. i.e. The html shown within the comments is this:
Francis HATES Google+
However the api for that comment only returns the title of the video which is pretty useless seeing as I want to get the link too. I am guessing that the system converts the url into an <a> tag which is stored in the database but then the api strips out the html when its requested so it only returns the videos title.
I have posted a defect here:
https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=5500
But that bug list seems to have very little activity going on in terms of responses to issues.
So is there another way to get the data I need?
What you can do while this bug remains is to extract the comment id and use it in the Google+ API with an activities.get request. This will return the full post with all links.
A bit cumbersome since it needs one request for each comment you want to check, but it seems to be the only way while the bug remains.
To take an example from the video you linked in the issue:
This YouTube comment returned by the API includes a YouTube link:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/rgkDKeSc-1o
/comments/z12hvvcgxznkufyo304ci1iqlnandzxjpes
You can use the z... ID in a request to the Google+ API:
https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/plus/v1/plus.activities.get?activityId=z12hvvcgxznkufyo304ci1iqlnandzxjpes
Which includes the full post including links.

Disqus API listPosts doesn't include links back to the original page

I am using this API http://disqus.com/api/docs/forums/listPosts/ to get the list of recent comments, but the result from the API doesn't include the links for the content page on my site. I have tried find it in the API pages and no luck. Just curious if anyone knows how to get these links.
After playing around with the console a bit more, found out that in order to get this information, I need to pass "related=thread" in the api param.

How to add Twitter Expanded Tweets? (was: twitter media preview card for my site?)

I googled a lot about how to make twitter media preview for my website entities if they are linked in a tweet like images below:
Any idea where can I find some documentation about it? Or a tutorial? Is this possible or these media/site previews are hardcoded in twitter?
EDIT:
so, what I need:
If someone links my site on twitter, my widget appear under the tweet, like below:
UPDATE 2012-06-13
It appears this is an Expanded Tweet - -what the requirements are to integrate these expansions into Twitter are do not appear to be displayed - but this sure is interesting.
Nope your in luck. They're not hardcoded into Twitter, they're available in the JSON response. You actually have in your post the word you need to google for entities.
You can add include_entities=1 to the end of most REST api calls and it will give you expanded information about the URL's contained within the JSON. It will split out all the URL's where you can parse out the Youtube links for example. The JSON also includes a special media_url entity but it only works for pictures. In any case, you can still parse out the media easily like youtube with a regex match because you get the URL's split out nicely with this include_entities=1 parameter.
example call :
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=twitterapi&include_entities=1
more documentation : https://dev.twitter.com/docs/tweet-entities
answer edited below based on clarification:
Editing Twitter itself with previews is impossible and it's also ineffective. 75% of traffic to Twitter happens outside of Twitter.com. However the most probable solution to achieving this request would be to download a browser extension.
This extension for example enbales previews of webpages directly in the users stream content preview pane on Twitter.com
