I am currently making an application in Ruby on Rails which requires to count all bookmarks of any given domain. I have considered Stumbles, Diggs, Delicious and Reddit for finding all bookmarks. Is there any way that this can be done?
I have looked into APIs of each of them, but did not get anything useful there. Is there any other way to directly get all bookmarks of a website no matter which marketing tool its using?
Use the delicious api for getting social bookmarks related to delicious.
For others I m not so sure.

Using the Medium API, is it possible to get all of the posts I have recommended (or clapped)?
Within my Medium profile, I can see the posts I have clapped (see image below). I wish to retrieve these through the API.
I'm not sure this is possible with the API, but you can do this using the RSS feeds. Here's the recommendations from my own Medium page:
https://medium.com/feed/#jamesjefferyuk/has-recommended
Replace the username with your own.
Based off Medium's API docs, there does not seem to be a forward facing endpoint to get your recommended posts. You could try to scrape your recommendations page, though I don't know if Medium's Terms of Service allow scraping, so if you're going to go that route, read through their terms to make sure you won't be putting your account in danger of getting banned, shutdown, etc.
I want to be able to track page views on my twitter account to see what locations people are viewing from.
Is there a way with twitter or google analytics?
There is no way for you to know anything about who reads your tweets. You can get some basic information about the people who follow you, or the the people that you follow. But the information you describe is not available.
I am trying to get twitter feeds in to my shopify site. I want to get the feeds and style them as I want and thus cant use a app.
I know how to do it using PHP but can not use that code in shopify and looking for a way I can use OAuth in shopify and get the feeds. I tried the shopify docs but without an example its kinda hard to actually get my head around it.

Thats the link I am using as a guide. If anyone can direct me to an example which might be similar that would be awesome. (google didnt seem to be that helpful this time either)
Cheers
I know you said you didn't want to use an app, but can I suggest taking a look at Twitify? You can use custom CSS to style your tweets. Also see discussions about Twitify here and here.
Twitter changed their display guidelines and policies on embedding of tweets on websites in June 2013. One of the themes I used for a client earlier in the year had custom styling of tweets, and they have now changed it to use the official Twitter widget to meet the new guidelines. In fact, the images on the Shopify theme store show how it used to look before Twitter changed things:
And after:
I think using an app like Twitify would be the easiest way to deal with these changes to embedding tweets.
Thanx for the suggestion. I did take a look at that before I posted this question. This is a project for a client and I dont think getting a plug in is a viable option. Anyways I found a work around.
Hosted the file on a server and then accessed it. So that resolved the problem. :)
I used node.js to write the script and get the posts as required.
Cheers.
you can use the app for that Twitify https://apps.shopify.com/twitify or you can Embed a Twitter feed in your online store
Go to your Twitter settings.
Click Widgets to open the widgets menu.
Create a new widget, following Twitter's instructions.
Copy the embed code.
Sorry for the bad title and description, but I was wondering if there is anyway I could search/list products from other sites (say Express, American Eagle), from a web app I create, even if the site doesn't have an API.
Thanks
Sure. How do you think Google and every other search engine does it? They just spider the sites and index the contents. The devil, of course, is in the details. But it's certainly possible to do.
I don't think so. Unless you want only to fetch some data from a certain HTML page, then you need to use some regular expressions. But searching the database is not possible if you don't have the ability to connect to it directly or via some APIs.
I'm using Twitter's OAuth for my app (DroidIn)
To my dismay I can't find any way to track who and how often is using the app. Searching Twitter for "sent from DroidIn" does not yield any results. I suppose I can call some sort of counter app from my code but that doesn't seem to be fair to my users. Any ideas or suggestions?
It seems that yet again I have to answer my own question. After some investigation and feedback from question posted on Google Twitter developer group it seems that for now there are no stats easily accessible or available. Said that I found 2 interesting things:
You can search Twitter using source:yourapp switch. For example you can try this query
android source:API
There is very exciting streaming API from Twitter. I have a short write-up in my dev blog.
But if you want some actual stats there's no other choice today but implement it as part of your app. There's one more possibility if you have some sort of web-based interface you may want to use Google Analytics to trigger some Google javascript while submitting the update. I'm trying that right now and may end up with article in the blog
