I've researching for a project and I want to know whether it's possible to compare images to each other using the google custom search api.
Ie, can I upload an image into a program o mine, and with an algorithm I'll provide, search for any photo's using the API , that match the image in terms of exif tags such as: Exif.Photo.ColorSpace , xif.Photo.FocalPlaneXResolution, xif.Photo.FocalPlaneYResolution etc.
Thanks.
Some of these options are available in JSON API:
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/reference/cse/list
E.g.:
imgColorType
imgDominantColor
imgSize
imgType

Trying to stretch my understanding of how mapdeck can plot maps and the new (new to me) Ordnance Survey Vector Tile API that can display 3D buildings
See
https://labs.os.uk/public/os-data-hub-examples/os-vector-tile-api/vts-example-3d-buildings
Has anyone any advice about how to reference the labs.os.uk data as a layer in mapdeck?
I suspect it is not possible to set a transformRequest function when using Mapbox via Mapdeck.
But you can probably do it by downloading the tile json from https://api.os.uk/maps/vector/v1/vts&key=your_os_api_key&srs=3857
Edit by appending &srs=3857 to the "tiles" url.
Save the edited tile json to your server.
Then download a copy of the 3d style json from https://github.com/OrdnanceSurvey/OS-Vector-Tile-API-Stylesheets/blob/master/OS_VTS_3857_3D.json
Edit by appending &key=your_os_api_key to the "sprite" and "glyphs" urls, and edit the "sources" "url" entry to point the tile json on your server.
Save the edited style json to your server.
Hopefully Mapdeck can then be used with style = parameter set to the url of the style json on your server.
I try to create a custom Map with Highcharts – I need german job center districts. I've done it the way it is described here.
I imported the shapefiles to QGIS an created a highcharts map here. But on this way, all information like the name oft he district got lost. Is there a way to keep it? Because there are a lot of districts – I don't want to write all single names by my own.
I was able to generate GeoJSON from the provided shapefile (the one that you provided me with via email) and place it in the JSFiddle boilerplate (http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/xbzxfx2L/). Empty map displayed without any problems. To add values to the regions and also to display data labels you need to add adequate data and link it to the mapData (more about it in the API link below). I have prepared an example for you. Simply, copy the content of created GeoJSON (generated from the shapefile using QGIS, as described here: https://www.highcharts.com/docs/maps/custom-geojson-maps) to the textarea and click run button. The map with the values should show up. Also, you could try to use map of Germany from our maps collection. It can be found here: http://code.highcharts.com/mapdata/.

This is my Volusion item insert method, which relies on the HTTParty gem for rails. It works for posting items without photos, and posting items with a single photos by using the <PhotoURL_Large> and <PhotoURL_Small> XML tags.
def self.post_volusion_item(hide_product, product_code, product_name, product_description, availability, custom_field1, custom_field2, enable_options_inv_control, free_shipping_item, height, length, width, metatag_description, metatag_title, photo_alt_text, photo_xml, product_category, product_price, product_weight, metatag_keywords)
encrypted_password = ENV['VOLUSION_PASSWORD']
post_url = "https://WEBSITE-HERE/net/WebService.aspx?Login=LOGIN-HERE&EncryptedPassword=#{encrypted_password}&Import=Insert"
body = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><Volusion_API><Products><HideProduct>#{hide_product}</HideProduct><ProductCode>#{product_code}</ProductCode><ProductName>#{product_name}</ProductName><ProductDescription>#{product_description}</ProductDescription><Availability>#{availability}</Availability><CustomField1>#{custom_field1}</CustomField1><CustomField2>#{custom_field2}</CustomField2><EnableOptions_InventoryControl>#{enable_options_inv_control}</EnableOptions_InventoryControl><FreeShippingItem>#{free_shipping_item}</FreeShippingItem><Height>#{height}</Height><Length>#{length}</Length><Width>#{width}</Width><METATAG_Description>#{metatag_description}</METATAG_Description><METATAG_Title>#{metatag_title}</METATAG_Title><Photo_AltText>#{photo_alt_text}</Photo_AltText><PhotoURL_Large>#{photo_url_large}</PhotoURL_Large><PhotoURL_Small>#{photo_url_small}</PhotoURL_Small><ProductCategory>#{product_category}</ProductCategory><ProductPrice>#{product_price}</ProductPrice><ProductWeight>#{product_weight}</ProductWeight><METATAG_Keywords>#{metatag_keywords}</METATAG_Keywords></Products></Volusion_API>"
post(post_url, body: body)
end
I can not find any documentation that gives an example with multiple photos in the item. I have tried duplicating the calls. Example: <PhotoURL_Large>img1</PhotoURL_Large><PhotoURL_Small>img1</PhotoURL_Small><PhotoURL_Large>img2</PhotoURL_Large><PhotoURL_Small>img2</PhotoURL_Small>
This resulted in no images uploading.
I am realizing the the PhotoURL is not related to the urls of the item's photos, but only tied to the data in Volusion's add item form.
Can someone point me in the right direction for accessing the true photo urls for volusion items?
In Volusion, PhotoURL_Small and PhotoURL_Large are alternate image URLs that can either point to an internal or external location. Volusion only provides one of each for each product code which will be used by the product in place of any loaded image. So if you populate any of the above two fields for that product it will use that URL in place of any image uploaded via the image manager or any images directly uploaded via FTP. There is no provision in the software for additional PhotoURL_Small and PhotoURL_Large images.
Here is an excellent explanation of image file structure.
Image structure
Now i'm using Facebook SDK on my ASP.NET MVC5 project, and for data query I use Graph Api.
When I read a data from "me/home", almost each read item of it have key called "picture", that represents image attached to post. But it is thumnbail size, how can I get it bigger resolution and better quality?
Link i got look smth like this:

I hope for your help.
Thank you for your time
There is a variable in the API "type" using that you can specify the sizes of the image
The type parameter can be one of square, small, normal, or large for profile pictures or thumbnail, normal, album for album pictures.
image src would be something like this
https://graph.facebook.com/xxx/picture?access_token=yyy&type=normal
you can find more information # http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/
string imageUrl = fb.Get("/me?fields=picture.type(large)").ToString();
In a desktop Qt application, I have some GPS coordinates that I'd like to show on a map. My plan is to construct an URL with the coordinates and let a web browser and Google maps or a similar service do the heavy lifting.
After reading some apparently reverse-engineered documentation at
mapki.com slash wiki slash Google_Map_Parameters
I can make it work for a single point, but what's the URL syntax for multiple points?
My best shot so far is to build a string such as this:
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&q=My+First+Point#59.591,17.82&q=My+Second+Point#59.592,17.82
but that will only show "My Second Point". Is there a better description of the syntax somewhere?
Replacing q= with markers= did not work and the "static map" suggestion below only complained about an incorrect API key.
for google maps static there is this URL:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Brooklyn+Bridge,New+York,NY&zoom=14&size=512x512&maptype=roadmap
&markers=color:blue|label:S|40.702147,-74.015794&markers=color:green|label:G|40.711614,-74.012318
&markers=color:red|label:C|40.718217,-73.998284&sensor=false&key=MAPS_API_KEY
Detailed version:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?
center=Brooklyn+Bridge,New+York,NY
&zoom=14
&size=512x512
&maptype=roadmap
&markers=color:blue|label:S|40.702147,-74.015794
&markers=color:green|label:G|40.711614,-74.012318
&markers=color:red|label:C|40.718217,-73.998284
&sensor=false
&key=MAPS_API_KEY
i am not sure if this syntax is also good for standard maps
http://staticmapmaker.com/ - very nice web tool for generating static map urls.

- Google
- Bing
- Yandex
- HERE
- Mapbox
- MapQuest
- CartoDB
p.s. I know this is an old question, but many still google for it.
Throwing parameters at maps.google.com only gets you one point.
As dusoft says, you could use Google Static maps.
Or, if you require dynamic maps, you could write your own public web page that uses Google Maps API and accepts a long list of parameters. Use your own web page in exactly the same way that you were intending to use maps.google.com web page, except that you get to design what you want the parameters to look like.
Perhaps something like this.
Several parameters (such as the markers and path parameters) take multiple locations. In those cases, the locations are separated by the pipe (|) character.

I know that you specifically asked for Google Maps, however I came up with a solution using Bing Maps:
https://bing.com/maps/default.aspx?sp=point.48.858303_2.3499404_Eiffel%20Tower~point.48.8530067_2.3499404_Notre-Dame%20Cathedral~point.48.8605088_2.3376727_Louvre link
The sp parameter can define a list of points, polylines, polygons and addresses. Multiple objects are separated by ~.
The syntax for point is:
point.latitude_longitude_titleString_notesString_linkURL_photoURL
titleString is displayed in the map and notesString only when clicking on a point.
A Link with you coordinates would look like:
https://bing.com/maps/default.aspx?sp=point.59.591_17.82_P1~point.59.592_17.82_P2 link
I did some tests on how many of these points can be in a URL by generating a really long URL in the form of https://www.bing.com/maps?sp=point.10.000000_10.000000_0~point.10.000000_10.01_1~point.10.000000_10.02_2~point.10.000000_10.03_3... and it seems up to about 150 points are working.
