Reading their stuff hurts my brain! Has anyone crossed this road?
I had an attorney look at it and the conclusion he came to was that if the app was not free, we could not use their API. I've heard of people getting a for-profit account with Google for using other services (routing, specifically), but I have not tried that approach yet.
Reading their stuff hurts my brain!
What were you reading?
The Google API ToS seems pretty straightforward. I don't see anything there that specifically prohibits use in commercial apps. There's a line in there about some APIs being offered under an open source license, and that license trumping provisions of the ToS, but I don't see any indication of that being the case for the chart API.
Of course, I am not a lawyer, and more importantly I'm not your lawyer. If you need legal advice, get it from someone qualified and paid to protect your interests.
Yes you can, other wise they wouldn't publish the API.
They do reserve the right to jam advertising into their charts.
[edit] From Google's page: http://code.google.com/apis/chart/
"Google chart tools are powerful, simple to use, and free."
That seems pretty straight forward.

I am developing a system which has both Tablet & Website.
It's a tool and now more and more professional come to register on my system.
I want to do ads on the system. Both website and Tablet(iPad for now but will support android).
I searched a lot and MoPub seems a good option. I did utilize the MoPub SDK to iOS and website. it works good except, it's for mobile only.(Said by MoPub official, I feel sad because it meet every my requirement except this one. I need do ads on website also, even on PC browser.)
I want find an alternative of MoPub, but seems there is not much options.
Is there any one who knows this and give me some suggestion?
My requirement is:
As the system admin, I can create Ads order for customer, I can define the Ads content&layout displayed on both iPad & website. I can put link on ads and the link should works on both Tablet App and PC website.
As developer who integrate the Ads platform. I can utilize the SDK to request Ads based on customer keywords I defined.
I can see a lot of reports for the revenue, daily, monthly, single ads, multiple ads.
The very basic Ads configuration
Well formed SDK on iOS and android. so that I can integrate quickly.
Thanks!!!
hey man) you’re asking and trying to compare different things: you ask about MoPub Alternative and one of your requirements is that the solution should support both Web and Mobile. MoPub is for mobile platforms (ios/android) only. Frankly speaking both web and mobile ads have own features and nuances, that’s why most of current solutions are focused either on mobile or web. Not sure I can provide lots of info about platforms for web, but this article might be useful for you https://www.adpushup.com/blog/the-best-ad-networks-for-publishers-2015-edition-moving-beyond-adsense/
Mopub is a really good platform, but if you’re still thinking about alternative (i’m speaking about mobile) take a look at mediation solutions. there are lots of them: AdMob Mediation, Heyzap, Fyber, Appodeal and many others. all of them have pros and cons. if you like manual customization and settings give a try to the first three, i’ve heared lots of good things and positive reviews about HeyZap and Fyber, though im not a big fan of "handjob" =). this way you’ll just have to create accounts in networks you’d like to use in mediation. but i personally think that its slightly a longer way, at least for me, because the performance of each network depends on your app and it need to be understood. so you’ll need to analyze which ad networks perform better for you. i’m not a big fan of everyday analysis and comparisons, so i stick to programmatic services, like Appodeal for instanse. the point is that it works out of the box, automatically, without manual settings for each network and account, that helped me to save a lot of time for working on other projects. i’m pretty much sure that you won’t get a 100% right answer, because each developer has own priorities and aims. I suppose that the best way it to collect info on forums like stackoverflow, reddit, and make your own research accordin to your needs. good luck
So as the title says, does anyone know, if I can use Readability's mobilizer in a paid app?
I mean like using this:
http://www.readability.com/m?url=http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/11/showbiz/tv/golden-globes-tv-vineyard/index.html?hpt=hp_abar
in an app that's not going to be free?
I googled, searched Readability's web and blog, but found nothing about mobilizer, only reader, parser and shortener apis.
Thanks for any response,
Cheers
From their developer documentation:
The Parser API is freely available on a limited basis. If you'd like to use the Parser API for commercial use, get in touch with us at licensing#readability.com to learn about our licensing options.
I'd say that if your usage of Readability is key to your app, you probably would need to pay. But just get in touch with them.
I am looking for a very simple approach for handling basic analytics in a rails app. Metrics I will like to obtain are page views and click rate. Any ideas how to go about this ?
Errplane is an insanely-great product.
But it sounds like you want to roll your own. As an answer to your question, I offer that this is the wrong strategy.
If you dislike that approach, probably best to just steal from NewRelic, since that's what they wrote their code to do.
There are a lot of helpful solution for analytics of your Rails application.
The problem is what would you choose the one.
I thinks this link is most latest and helpful document.
I wish you to good choice. BTW, I'm using Google Analytics for metrics of my service.
The simplest way is still Google Analytics, there are others approach but they are more complicated to install/maintain. More, with GA, you can track from your mobile to your web applications. Easy & multi-platform :)
If you don't care about all the other metrics provided by GA, it's up to you to configure your own simple GA dashboard :)
"Qui peut le plus, peut le moins" :)
my personal suggestion is to go with http://get.gaug.es/
I think is much simpler than Google Analytics yet very very powerful.
PROs
simple views
you can manage lots of sites without clicking all over the place like GA
develop by github
7 days free trail
CONs
you have pay for it.
ps: prices start # $6.00
I used it is totally worth it.
Nuance made a major announcement on 8/6/2012 about their new Nina technology, but the SDK does not seem to be available. I don't even find any documentation beyond marketing stuff (video etc.). Does anybody know how to use this SDK, or when/where it will be available ?
They made the announcement but it doesn't mean the product will be available soon for a wide audience. They just started one partnership to prove the technology work and you need to be a very big client in order for them to return your calls.
Luckily, there are other speech recognition and NLP providers out there. You should better check the ones who have the product available.
It looks like the main site is http://dragonmobile.nuancemobiledeveloper.com/public/index.php?task=home
Does anyone know of a good even paid API for mapping to get GEO stuff.
I am really frustrated with google map giving poor results even though it beats all others.
I have tried so far.
Google
Yahoo
BING
Mapquest
Multimap
Can anyone suggest other good services ?
Hope ya CAN !
I'm assuming you've tried ArcGIS and ArcView? This might be a little more than what you are looking for.
I can highly reccomend deCarta. They were the engine that Google and Yahoo started on. They are used by VZNavigator, Tmobile, Samsung, Nokia, and many other companies.
Their developer zone is free and you can it out there.
http://developer.decarta.com
Check for Navdata website. Its very expensive but is cool and is used in almost GPS software.
Try an API that can consume WMS and WFS, in addition to imagery. I highly recommend a JavaScript API called OpenLayers, which can consume Google, Bing, WMS, WFS, KML, and your own custom services.
