Is yql Bing search or BOSS search v2 still valid? - yql

I'm trying to do large amount of search queries automatically, and YQL has very attractive limitation settings. However, when I was following this post, hoping I could use YQL Bing Search or BOSS v2, through both YQL Console and url, both told me no defination of the tables...
But I found yql-tables here, which includes Bing search and BOSS search and many other tables that cannot be found through YQl Console Show Tables
The tutorials about YQL I have found are all majorly happened in 2011, that's many years ago...
So, I'm wondering, whether tables here are still valid? If so, do you know how can I use microsoft.bing.web or boss.search to get the query results?

... that cannot be found through YQl Console Show Tables
Be sure to enable "Show Community Tables" (on the left of the page, above the tables list) as shown below.

JQL query to filter JIRAs based on the last commented date by a particular account / user

I am new to JIRA / JQL, and wanted help in knowing if the following is possible:
I want to filter JIRAs which have been commented on by a particular user (a bot account) in the past xx days
I want to filter JIRAs which have a particular regex in its comments in the past xx days
If the above cannot be done, I am open to suggestions as to how to achieve it using a combination of labels and description in the JIRA!
Sorry, but comments are stored within each Issue and you can't search for them globally using the native JQL query. You'd need to utilise the REST API to iterate through the Issues, extracting all the comments, then filtering the results.
Refer to this article in the Atlassian community Jira blog on the same topic and what third party tools can help work around the issue.

Retrieving business summaries using YQL

I'm working on a project where I need to collect information about companies from various sources, one of which is Yahoo Finance. It seems like YQL is the best way to get this information from Yahoo.
I'm able to retrieve stock quotes with a query like
select * from pm.finance where symbol="GE"
and relevant Yahoo articles with a query like
select * from pm.finance.articles where symbol="GE"
I need to retrieve summaries of businesses as well, similar to the information included on this page, but can't figure out which table to query. Is there a YQL query that will return this information?
The biz.yahoo.com domain has been deprecated. As far as I can tell, this data is no longer available, neither through YQL nor Yahoo Finance.

Yahoo Finance YQL query not working. Did something change?

For the past year I have been able to use Yahoo YQL Rest query to obtain the currency exchange rates; however, today it has stopped working for some odd reason.
https://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?q=show%20tables&env=store://datatables.org/alltableswithkeys#h=select+*+from+yahoo.finance.xchange+where+pair+in+(%22USDCAD%22)
https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?format=json&q=select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance.xchange%20where%20pair%20in%20(%22CADUSD%22%2C%20%22USDCAD%22%2C%20%22EURUSD%22%2C%20%22EURCAD%22%2C%20%22GBPUSD%22%2C%20%22GBPCAD%22)&diagnostics=false&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys
Has something changed? How can I find out what happened?
Is there an alternative solution I can use to obtain this data?
There seems to be an issue with http://datatables.org/ at the moment, which is the basis for the "Community Tables" (such as the Yahoo Finance table) on YQL. I haven't been able to find any more information on why it's down, but hopefully it comes back up soon.

view search queries by popuarity containing keyword

I have been spending some time watching the search queries that bring people to my site on google analytics recently, in order to see if people are finding exacty what they are looking for and if not creating that new content. But i figured an easier way would be to what search queries are popular. But containing a keyword that relates to my site.
for example, i want to see all the most queried search terms that contain "in japanese".
like "dog in japanese", "i love you in japanese"
I have found http://www.google.com/trends/
but after playing with it for a while it doesnt seem like i can do this. seems like i can just see popularity of spesific queries. I dont want to see how popular specific queries are, i want to see what queries containing x are popular. Anywhere i can do this?
If you join the Google AdWords program, you can use the Keyword Planner tool to try out keywords and immediately get the number of searches per month in a chosen geography. This is a very interesting tool. See http://adwords.google.com.
I'm not sure this question belongs here on SO though.

YQL Google Search inconsistent results

I'm using YQL to retrieve site specific results (I don't need Google results for just my own site but for a variety of sites.
However, I'm getting inconsistent results. Using the YQL console for my query:
Executing a Test for the same query multiple times, sometimes returns result but quite often gives no result without producing an error.
When there are results, the number of results is often significantly less from manually executing a Google query on google.com
An example query that shows this behaviour is
select * from google.search where q = 'site:www.freelas.net'
Any suggestions on this?
Kind regards,
Marc
The older Google Search API that the google.search YQL table uses has been deprecated by Google. It's still running, but I think there is a 100 query/day limit. When you see no results in YQL console, it likely means that it's being rate-limited.
As an alternative you might try using the newer Google Custom Search API. Note that it's only free up to 100 queries/day, but they offer a paid plan above that.
