Getting bookmark count from delicious - delicious-api

I was previously retreiving this through url:s like:
http://feed.delicious.com/v2/json/url/f17d3aaa8fd2d271877f1ee773b89145
Where f17d3aaa8fd2d271877f1ee773b89145 is a md5 of the url.
This longer seems to be working? Is this temporary or is the API discontinued? Any replacement?
Previous similar question on this topic on SO from a few years ago seems to have been temporary issues.

The new API URL is https://api.del.icio.us/
Therefore, you can find the info you are searching for at https://api.del.icio.us/v2/json/url/f17d3aaa8fd2d271877f1ee773b89145
But I'm not sure how long it will last, I suspect delicious is unfortunately pretty much a dead service today.

The link https://api.del.icio.us/ is not working any more. The API has been shut down. Delicious support is not available any more and not responding to inquiries.

Yahoo finance no longer work?

I used to get exhange rate from yahoo finance api by javascript with following url:
http://finance.yahoo.com/webservice/v1/symbols/jpy=x,eur=x/quote?format=json
but now it no longer work! I have search on the net but no luck.
Any help would be great, Thank!
Update: it is working if open with chrome mobile
Yes, it seems like Yahoo! has discontinued the (private, mostly-undocumented) Yahoo Finance API that many have been using for their currency data. All responses seem to be returning "Not a valid parameter". I suppose there's a chance they may switch it back on, but they don't officially support that API anywhere as far as I can tell.
I created Open Exchange Rates about five years ago, and our exchange rate API now supports a community of tens of thousands of developers - and their tens of millions of users - with accurate, up-to-date information.
Please feel welcome to check out our Forever Free service at https://openexchangerates.org.
Our API is in a simple, original JSON format, which has actually caught on as a standard method for displaying rates because it's so simple to work with (unlike the Yahoo API, which required you to parse the obscure nested objects to pull out the basic info you needed...)
If you need assistance porting from the deprecated Yahoo! API, we'll be happy to assist via email.

indrakula is right, and their response helped me, but...
I also needed to retrieve exchange rate tickers (i.e. USDGBP=X). This was not trivial, and I had to do some searching. The URL format in this case is http://www.google.com/finance/info?q=CURRENCY%3aUSDGBP. This URL returns a JSON body and not something else as the alternative URLs mentioned in one of the comments for that reply. Also note the link with the parameter descriptions seems to be out-of-date, but I found most of them are self-explanatory. So don't rely on that link.
Note: I wanted to post this as a comment to indrakula's answer, but one needs 50 reputation to comment! I'm new! I tried to submit this as an edit to their answer but it was (rightly) refused.
use google http://www.google.com/finance/info?q=GOOGL

Upvote Youtube Comment With API

Hello guys i was reading google youtube data api But i did not found any way to upvote or like the comment on video. anyone have any info on this
Thanks
I think it's safe to conclude this feature does not exist for the following reasons,
The otherwise thorough API documentation makes no mention of this feature. I highly doubt youtube/google would forget to document a feature.
This question has been asked several times before on SO; all of which have no accepted answer (1, 2, 3). With the oldest question being 10 months old, it's very unlikely no one would have found this feature if it did exist.
Youtube is a common target of voter-bots and hence it would make sense to not offer an API entry-point as a first line of defense.
The official Youtube (android) app offers no comment-upvote option but only flag and reply options. If a comment-upvote feature would exist, you'd think Youtube would show it off in their own app.
Yes, you can like a comment, but only if it is YOUR comment. That means if you were the author of it.
Sorry for the short answer, but that is all there is to it in v3

twitter api 1.1 url count alternative

I've been using the old url api(v1) to get the count of a given url, lately I needed to get also the re-tweets and started searching about that.
this is the exact url I'm using right now:
http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://google.com
As I viewed with some reading the v1 api is deprecated but at least it's still working.
I found some questions on the dev page of twitter:
https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/12643
those are a little old questions and have no specific solving to the problem. I mean, the most near solution was using the search api(search/tweets) which could be good but not a exactly replacement for the urls/count method.
Please note that Twitter's search service and, by extension, the
Search API is not meant to be an exhaustive source of Tweets. Not all
Tweets will be indexed or made available via the search interface.
also it has a limit for 100 results at maximum per 'page', even it throws the link to get the next set of objects, thats good but when the search reaches 1 million of results I'll need to get page over page to now how much tweets I got and having to do to much request to the api...
I sought some question over the dev page on twitter suggested using the stream api, I've tried using (statuses/filter) but that don't work very well given a URL as track param(which they said that is the keyword to track).
So, anyone who's been using the old urls/count has found a reliable alternative with the new apiv1.1, especiffically to get the tweets and re-tweets for a given url ?
The official suggestion by Twitter staff is that either the search/tweets endpoint (having just the last 7 days data) or the Streaming API be used (handling yourself the counters, making everything just too complicated for a d*mn counter).
As an extra warning, the old endpoint (http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=YOUR_URL) will stop working on November 20th, and according to this blog post from Twitter there are no plans to replace it with anything in the short term and they are even removing the count from their own buttons.

Request Last Update Date From Vanilla Forum

I have an iOS app that I would like to interface with an Vanilla forum in a very simple way. I would like the iOS app to request the last update date of the forum. That way I could indicate to the iOS app user the forum has been updated since their last visit.
I am guessing the way to go would be using Vanilla's REST services, but I am unsure of how to request the last update date, or if its even possible using REST.
I am studying information at this link: Vanilla REST Services and also searching through the PHP code to find something that might help.
Is there an easier way to do request the last update date of a Vanilla forum for use in an iOS app? If so, what is that easier way?

Does the Twitter API auto shorten URLs

I know this question has been asked before however the answers I found where a little old and I know that twitter has now made the t.co/xyz service manditory on all posts recently. I'm just wondering if when using the oAuth API service it will automatically shorten any url? Anyone know what the current process in play is? Do I still need to shorten the url pre posting?
Thanks very much
Yes. Even when using OAuth, all links will be wrapped in t.co short URLs. Even if the link is shorter than 20 characters!
See the post in the discussion groups.
There is also some documentation about recent and upcoming changes to t.co shortening (2012-04-12).
You can shorten the URL yourself if you want, but it will still get wrapped.
