I've searched the docs and can't figure out how to get annotations on my videos via API. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Annotations are not accessible via API right now, but there is a work going on to enable this soon.

I need to implement street view, but it seems that google does not have that capability for India.
I want that The map should be dynamic and the customer should be able to see point of interest near a specified point and within a given radius or zip code.
I need to geocode and reverse geocode
Can somebody share an idea and one quick example of this.
if you want to get places of interest near by some location, then I would suggest using HERE PLACES API for that task. The site should also include nice examples for the API. Also its simple REST API, so it would work in any platform really.
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®ionCode=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.
I am working on my app, it has the mapView inside and the user location. Then, I need to get direction from user location to particular place on the map, how do I do that. I'am searching around and it seem to be like that Apple does not allow to do it on Apple map.
Please give me some advices and thanks so much.
As John commented, you can't get directions via a UIMapView, as Apple doesn't provide an API you can use to do so. If you really need an API for directions and don't want to write it yourself, check out the following APIs:
MapQuest
CloudMade
Google Directions Web API
Using one of the listed sources, you can make an HTTP request to a server that will return a result (likely in JSON) that includes both directions and an ETA.
For example, the following MapQuest API call will return a JSON item called distance, which contains the formatted distance (in miles) that the recommended route between Lancaster and York will take. Just remember to pass in your API key.
http://www.mapquestapi.com/directions/v1/route?key=YOUR_KEY_HERE&from=Lancaster,PA&to=York,PA&callback=renderNarrative
For further explanation, have a look at the MapQuest documentation.
I am using Google Places API to pull a list of resturants, and I am displaying them on map. However, since Apple has switched there map services over from Google in iOS 6.0, I am now in violation of Google's terms of use, which states that you must display Google data on a Google map.
"If your application displays Places API data on a map, that map must be provided by Google."
https://developers.google.com/places/policies#terms_of_use
I obviously need to change the map, because I am not going to release an application that is in violation. Any thoughts or suggestions on what to do? Should I go Google Maps with a web view? Does apple have some sort of Google Places API alternative?
Edit:
Using Google Maps through a web view is a hassle, i'd like to find an alternative to that, although it would technically work.
I decided to use Google Maps JavaScript API. Although, it is a little more difficult to deal with, mainly the JavaScript through Objective-C, it is a solution. The map is displayed through a web view, and I use JavaScript to interact with the map.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key
I will wait to accept this answer, to see if anyone else has any thoughts. I just wanted to post this, in case it helps someone else.
Edit:
Google recently released a Maps SDK for iOS, this is the better solution now.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/
I would try to directly contact Google, explaining the situation, and ask them for written permission to use Apple's maps. This is more a legal question than programming. One would think that Google is aware that you can no longer display their maps using Apple's API and that, even regardless of the map, they would want you to use their places, as doing so generates advertising revenue for them.
Agree with #Owen here - you could get permission to leave your app unchanged until some possible future date when you might have to change it, or could you definitely go to the effort of changing it now and then possibly have to change it again in the future for some other reason.
If you could get a 100% guarantee that you could change it once and never have to change it again then I'd say do it now, but nothing's certain.
Has anyone got any suggestions on where to start with building a google map into a rails app? I would like users to be able to add a marker by clicking the map, and have spent a few days looking for a suitable tutorial or plugin (beyond ym4r), to little avail...any help would be much appreciated as I am finding the Google Maps API rather difficult to get into! I've also come across the railskit for google maps - does anyone have any experience in using it?
Just fyi, I made https://rubygems.org/gems/gmaps4rails which is a useful wrapper with several options.
I probably wouldn't use YM4R. We tried it and found that it doesn't add much value because it just wraps the API. I would recommend working with Google Maps directly from JavaScript. Google Maps API documentation is pretty good, and there are quite a few examples on the web.
There is an example of a click handler on the map here, and adding a marker is just a matter of doing
map.addOverlay(new GMarker(latlng));
