UTM Not Working - url

We are currently using a number of UTM codes with various companies to track a campaigns to our website. While most of them have worked without issue, three have failed to be recorded by Google Analytics and they all use the same format (two of the URLs are below). Any idea why this would be? The links themselves work, it's just GA hasn't accepted them at all.

Thanks in advance!

You URL is not correctly builded, you must found any of this strings on your URL :
&utm-campaign=
&utm-source=
&utm-medium=
And didn't appear, seems like your system are recoding URL in some point.

How to change the url of a webview ofter users installed it? Xcode

I'm building an iOS App with Xcode in Swift.
I have a webview in my app. But I don't want it to direct one specific url. I need to change the url occasionally, even after the users installed it.
I don't know if it's possible and I haven't got a solution after searching around for a while.
Thanks a lot!
I can think of a few ways of varying degrees of difficulty and flexibility:
If you knowing advance a number of suitable sites, you can maintain an array of URLs and load different entries based on whatever criteria you desire.
You can update the array or a single URL through app updates.
You can have the preloaded URL be a domain you own which is set to be redirected to any URL you chose. This is easy and cheap.
You can create a web service. Not for the lighthearted if you have never done it.

Google Analytics Custom URL Reorting

I have used custom url builder to build custom url and submitted to different directories.
URL is
?utm_source=directory&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=DirectoryReferrals
Now i am stuck with reporting coz it shows source as "directory" thats what i need it to show but full referral part is showing as not set.
How can i get full url of the referral source? Need help as soon as possible.
Is there any way to get the url of the referral?
I think you may be misunderstanding the usage of the utm_source parameter in the context of custom campaigns. It wouldn't be used to get the source URL that you used when tagging your campaign, but rather it should show the source where the campaign is originating from, for example advertiser, site (eg. "google"), publication (eg. "newsletter", "billboard"). More information on campaigns can be found here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033863. Also some good info on why you are getting "not set": https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2820717?hl=en.
If you are trying to see where traffic is coming from, eg. www.google.com, www.facebook.com, then you wouldn't use custom campaigns for that.
Hope this helps.
I agree with Nyuen, you might have misunderstood the concept of UTM tracking code.
I would suggest that if you want to know that from which referral source you got the traffic then you can write it under UTM_SOURCE.
Suppose if you have promoted your post in the Facebook and Google, then in the UTM_SOURCE you can write Facebook there.
Example:
http://www.grazitti.com/resources/webinars/5-must-have-features-for-your-service-cloud-implementation.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Webinar_Tweet&utm_term=Service_Cloud&utm_campaign=Social
Hope this Works :)
You always able to find your refferal traffic under > Acquisition > referral even you tagged link with utm.
If it's not help, please upload some screenshot.

Why is the YouTube api search returning different results from different servers?

We've noticed the search results returned from the v3 search api are different depending on the location of the server. I've confirmed the code is exactly the same and when I run a test using the try-it section of the api documentary website on the different server the results are different as well. Does anyone know why?
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list#try-it
That's normal, just as you'd expect from YouTube's web search, depending on your login and location, it will find most relevant videos.
I was having the same problem. In my own computer (I'm in Brazil) the call would return 10 videos. When executed on Azure server (East-US) it would return no videos at all.
So I added the param regionCode=BR and it worked properly.
Though its very old thread, let me share my learning for others who face this.
So to keep api request generic within all servers you need to set few request parameters of youtubeapi.
RegionCode -- region to filter videos for that channel/user.
And sort result if desired.

How to filter spotlight tracks in soundcloud API

I'm currently working on an iOS app using the Soundcloud API, and it's working great so far. Something that I haven't been able to figure out, however, is how to construct an URL in order to get only the tracks pinned as spotlight tracks from a certain user.
For example, let's say I'm using the following URL:
http://api.soundcloud.com/users/username/tracks.json?client_id=mySecretId
I've carefully gone through the API documentation at developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/, but it feels like there's a subresource I'm missing.
I'm aware that I can use the created_at filter to show the most recently added tracks, but if I'm understanding the platform correctly, a spotlight track does not necessarily have to be one of the most recently added?
I would be ever so grateful for feedback on this subject!
Cheers
/Anders
Spotlight is not available via public API, sorry.

URL Schemes and Facebook App 5.0

There's a question already related to groups, but it seems it's much more than that. Have URL schemes been completely thrown out of the new app (aside from the generic fb://), or is there a new list of supported schemes?
In particular, we can't get to a place details page. I've also tried /pages, /page, /places, /place...
Thanks,
Ivan
I'm not sure about those urls... but I just posted what I believe is a solution for facebook business pages.. it may help? Here it is below:
OK .. seriously this took me about 90 minutes of research to figure out. It works currently under facebook ios 5.0.1 for iPhone.. haven't tried it in iPad yet.
The url is fb://profile/132753734806
NOW the important part is that number. That links to one of my clients, Charles Scott. HOWEVER, that's not their FBID or Page ID.. their Page ID is 10150348920319807
so you would think it should be fb://profile/10150348920319807 but that gives me an error.
Here's how you get the correct code.. click on any of your page's photos.. here's an example for my client https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150348920319807&set=a.10150348920314807.356942.132753734806&type=1&theater
if you notice the FBID that does not work follows fbid= in that URL.. the number you WANT is just before the &type=1theater but following that last period. 132753734806 is the correct code to punch in after fb://profile/
I hope that makes some sense... I know zero about code or coding but this was bothering me so much and I knew there was a way.
Now, the two questions I would love to have answered/working.. 1. if this could work on android phones 2. create a working qr code for this url so people can scan with ios devices and have it open automatically
Good luck and I hope this helps everyone!
I tried Alessandro's way but did not succeed - the number he mentioned is new every time.
I tried fb://profile?id={pageId} and it worked in my case. {pageId} is simple page id number without any tricks. Facebook app version is 5.0.1
