So I'm using the 'google-api-client' gem with Rails, and I'm attempting to call the URL below in order to get video views by day and insightTrafficSourceType. This is a call that appears to be allowable from the Available Reports documentation page.
Additionally, I found that I was able to make this call by using the API Explorer tool provided by Google.
URL:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/analytics/v1beta1/reports?metrics=views&ids=channel==CHANNEL_ID&dimensions=day,insightTrafficSourceType&filter=video==VIDEO_ID&start-date=2013-01-15&end-date=2013-01-16&start-time=1970-01-01
Result:
{
:error=>
{
"errors"=>[
{
"domain"=>"global",
"reason"=>"invalid",
"message"=>"Unknown identifier (insightTrafficSourceType) given in field parameters.dimensions."
}
],
"code"=>400,
"message"=>"Unknown identifier (insightTrafficSourceType) given in field parameters.dimensions."
}
}
I'm not sure what extra data I can provide in the initial description of this bug, but as stated before I am making the call to the API with the Google::APIClient Ruby library. The actual code itself looks like this:
client.execute(
:api_method => api.reports.query,
:parameters => options
)
You are still referencing the old beta API, i.e., in your URL, you have 'v1beta' and you should have 'v1' there. Try replacing that and running it again. Also, you can look at the api explorer to see the exact URL that should be generated in live examples with your acct (once you enable OAuth) here:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/v1/
(Look at the bottom of the page.)
Finally, start-time isn't a parameter listed on the production version of the API, so you will want to remove that as well.

I can't seem to get the embedded URL in a status, for example, in id=780804331608109057 -
https://twitter.com/i/web/status/780804331608109057
When I retrieve this via GET /statuses/:id, with include_entities set to true, the response looks like this:
"text":"Here\u2019s WSJ \"An Underwhelming Trump-Clinton Debate\u201d trying to spin this as something other than a Clinton triumph\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/dpkmphGI8k",
"truncated":true,
"entities":
{"hashtags":[],"symbols":[],"user_mentions":[],"urls":
[{"url":"https:\/\/t.co\/dpkmphGI8k",
"expanded_url":"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/web\/status\/780804331608109057",
"display_url":"twitter.com\/i\/web\/status\/7\u2026","indices":[114,137]}]},
"source":"\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/about.twitter.com\/products\/tweetdeck\"rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eTweetDeck\u003c\/a\u003e",....
When viewed on my web client, the status instead displays the link to WSJ (referred through t.co) What I would like is one or both of these URLs to show up in my API response:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CtX5Sz8WIAAm4tq.jpg
what would be the short URL that looks like "t.co" followed by "/HJs4kbmTKz" (I have to break this up so SO doesn't complain.)
What am I doing wrong here?
The incredibly fast response from a staffer on the TwitterCommunity website was most gratifying:
You need to use tweet_mode=extended for the new longer Tweet format.
Ref: https://twittercommunity.com/t/missing-media-property-in-entities/70388/4
A search on this new parameter yields the appropriate documentation on dev.twitter.com - more documentation links on this mode probably exist out there. The most significant change appears to be that the key text is no longer used in non-compatibility mode - that's where the status text is, and unless you turn on compatibility mode, you have to now use the key full_text

So I'm using the 'google-api-client' gem with Rails, and I'm attempting to call the URL below in order to get video views by insightPlaybackLocationType. This is a call that appears to be allowable from the Available Reports documentation page.
Unfortunately, I found that I was not able to make this call by using the API Explorer tool provided by Google.

You'll need to set the version to v1 not v1beta1.
The start-time parameter seems wrong to me. You already specified start-date
Check the API explorer:
http://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtubeAnalytics/v1/youtubeAnalytics.reports.query?ids=channel%253D%253DCHANNEL_ID&start-date=2012-12-15&end-date=2013-01-16&metrics=views&dimensions=day%252CinsightPlaybackLocationType&filters=video%253D%253DVIDEO_ID&_h=4&
So I'm using the 'google-api-client' gem with Rails, and I'm attempting to call the URL below in order to get video views by averageViewDuration. This is a call that appears to be allowable from the Available Reports documentation page.
Additionally, I found that I was able to make this call by using the API Explorer tool provided by Google.

Could you try that again with v1 as the version instead of v1beta1?
Also, you have a start-time parameter at the end of your request URL, and that's not a valid parameter.
I just gave a similar query with those changes a try and it works.
In Facebook's documentation it says you can find the ID from a URL, and that used to be the case. It doesn't appear to be true anymore.
This example is straight from Facebook's API Documentation:
--------------FACEBOOK DOCS---------------------
The "ids" query parameter also accepts URLs. This is useful for finding IDs of URLs in the Open Graph. For example: https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/
But when you click on that link it gives you:
{
"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/": {
"id": "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/",
"shares": 18226,
"comments": 7
}
}
Which does NOT include the real Facebook ID for this example URL. If I go to the debugger and enter this URL I can find the ID, which is: 380728101301
So how can I find the ID without using the Open Graph Debugger? I need to be able to get IDs through the code on my site, and can't manually visit the debugger every time.. anyone know how to do this now?
Thanks very much!
There is one possibility with FQL:
SELECT url,site,id FROM object_url WHERE url = 'http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500';

I am trying to do a simple Salesforce-Asana integration. I have many functions working, but I am having trouble with adding a tag to a workspace. Since I can't find documentation on the addTag method, I'm sort of guessing at what is required.
If I post the following JSON to https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/workspaces/WORKSPACEID/tasks:
{"data":{"name":"MyTagName","notes":"Test Notes"}}
The tag gets created in Asana, but with blank notes and name fields. If I try to get a bit more fancy and post:
{"data":{"name":"MyTagName","notes":"Test Notes","followers":[{"id":"MY_USER_ID"}]}}
I receive:
{"errors":[{"message":"Invalid field: {\"data\":{\"name\":\"MyTagName\",\"notes\":\"Test Notes\",\"followers\":[{\"id\":\"MY_USER_ID\"}]}}"}]}
I'm thinking the backslashes may mean that my request is being modified by the post, though debug output shows a properly formatted json string before the post.
Sample Code:
JSONGenerator jsongen = JSON.createGenerator(false);
jsongen.writeStartObject();
jsongen.writeFieldName('data');
jsongen.writeStartObject();
jsongen.writeStringField('name', 'MyTagName');
jsongen.writeStringField('notes', 'Test Notes');
jsongen.writeFieldName('followers');
jsongen.writeStartArray();
jsongen.writeStartObject();
jsongen.writeStringField('id', 'MY_USER_ID');
jsongen.writeEndObject();
jsongen.writeEndArray();
jsongen.writeEndObject();
jsongen.writeEndObject();
String requestbody = jsongen.getAsString();
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setEndpoint('https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/workspaces/WORKSPACEID/tags');
req.setMethod('POST');
//===Auth header created here - working fine===
req.setBody(requestbody);
Http http = new Http();
HTTPResponse res = http.send(req);
return res.getBody();
Any help appreciated. I am inexperienced using JSON as well as the Asana API.
The problem was that I was posting to the wrong endpoint. Instead of workspaces/workspaceid/tags, I should have been using /tags and including workspaceid in the body of the request.
Aha, so you can add tags and even set followers despite the API not mentioning that you can or claiming that followers are read-only.
So to sum up for anyone else interested: POSTing to the endpoint https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/tags you can create a tag like this:
{ "data" : { "workspace": 1234567, "name" : "newtagname", "followers": [45678, 6789] } }
where 1234567 is your workspace ID and 45678 and 6789 are your new followers.
Since you posted this question, Asana's API and developer has introduced Tags. You documentation lays out the answer to your question pretty clearly:
https://asana.com/developers/api-reference/tags
I'm a bit confused by your question. Your ask "how to add a tag" but the first half of your question talks about adding a task. The problem with what you describe there is that you are trying to set a task's followers but the followers field is currently read-only according to Asana's API documentation. That is why you are getting an error. You can not set followers with the API right now.
The second part of your question - with the sample code - does look like you are trying to add a tag. However, right now the Asana API does not support this (at least according to the API documentation). You can update an existing tag but you can't add one.
So, to sum up: at this time the API does not allow you to add followers to a task or to create new tags.
