Here is the thing. I'd like to set up a counter that shows total number of Twitter followers for a user. When the number of followers reach exactly 1,000,000, would love to do something. If there's an api to do that, how often can I call the api.
Thanks.
Hello
Sorry I don't know PHP that well, and not at all JQuery, however, here is what I've done in C# ... hope it helps ;)
// Launch the request to obtain the number of followers of the user
WebRequest request = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?screen_name=[username]");
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
// Load response in an XML Document
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(streamReader.ReadToEnd());
// Parse the node we're interested in...
XmlNode node = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("followers_count");
// ... and affect the number of followers
labelScore.Text = node.InnerText;
}
Yes, you can use the users/show call to get this information. You'll find it as a property named followers_count:
"followers_count": 160752,

Hello there I have setup successfully inbound webhook with strongGrid in net core 3.1.
The endpoint gets called and I want to parse value inside the attachment which is csv file.
The code I am using is following
var parser = new WebhookParser();
var inboundEmail = await parser.ParseInboundEmailWebhookAsync(Request.Body).ConfigureAwait(false);
await _emailSender.SendEmailAsyncWithSendGrid("info#mydomain.com", "ParseWebhook1", inboundEmail.Attachments.First().Data.ToString());
Please note I am sending an email as I don t know how to debug webhook with sendgrid as I am not aware of any cli.
but this line apparently is not what I am looking for
inboundEmail.Attachments.First().Data.ToString()
I am getting this on my email
Id = a3e6a543-2aee-4ffe-a36a-a53k95921998, Tag = HttpMultipartParser.MultipartFormDataParser.ParseStreamAsync, Length = 530 bytes
the csv I need to parse has 3 fields Sku productname and quantity I'd like to get sku values.
Any help would be appreciated.
The .Data property contains a Stream and invoking ToString on a stream object does not return its content. The proper way to read the content of a stream in C# is something like this:
var streamReader = new StreamReader(inboundEmail.Attachments.First().Data);
var attachmentContent = await streamReader.ReadToEndAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
As far as parsing the CSV, there are literally thousands of projects on GitHub and hundreds on NuGet with the keyword 'CSV'. I'm sure one of them will fit your needs.
I have a problem with the qbxml.
I'm trying to migrate the qb customers, items etc to zohobooks.
I want to grab 50 customers first from quickbooks and calling zohobooks apis to create contacts on there. and again another 50 customers from quickbooks and to zohobooks.
The problem is I'm sure how can I continue to query after calling the zohobooks apis?
When I tried to use the same iteratorID from the first query response I got nothing from QB.
I'm building desktop app using .net, please advise me the best option to track the migration and where I'm.
Assume that I have 150 customers and for some reason stopped migrating after 100customers, in this case how can I get the last 50 customers next time?
public string customerQueryXml()
{
XmlDocument inputXMLDoc = new XmlDocument();
inputXMLDoc.AppendChild(inputXMLDoc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", null, null));
inputXMLDoc.AppendChild(inputXMLDoc.CreateProcessingInstruction("qbposxml", "version=\"1.0\""));
XmlElement qbXML = inputXMLDoc.CreateElement("QBPOSXML");
inputXMLDoc.AppendChild(qbXML);
XmlElement qbXMLMsgsRq = inputXMLDoc.CreateElement("QBPOSXMLMsgsRq");
qbXML.AppendChild(qbXMLMsgsRq);
qbXMLMsgsRq.SetAttribute("onError", "stopOnError");
XmlElement customerQueryRq = inputXMLDoc.CreateElement("CustomerQueryRq");
qbXMLMsgsRq.AppendChild(customerQueryRq);
//customerQueryRq.SetAttribute("requestID", "1");
//customerQueryRq.SetAttribute("iterator", "Start");
customerQueryRq.SetAttribute("requestID", "2");
customerQueryRq.SetAttribute("iterator", "Continue");
customerQueryRq.SetAttribute("iteratorID", "{A1601C19-C6DC-43C0-AE43-6F45088C39F2}");
// for test only, read 10 customers
XmlElement MaxReturned = inputXMLDoc.CreateElement("MaxReturned");
customerQueryRq.AppendChild(MaxReturned).InnerText = "50";
XmlElement ownerID = inputXMLDoc.CreateElement("OwnerID");
customerQueryRq.AppendChild(ownerID).InnerText = "0";
XmlElement timeModifiedRangeFilter = inputXMLDoc.CreateElement("TimeModifiedRangeFilter");
customerQueryRq.AppendChild(timeModifiedRangeFilter);
XmlElement fromTimeModified = inputXMLDoc.CreateElement("FromTimeModified");
timeModifiedRangeFilter.AppendChild(fromTimeModified).InnerText = "1980-01-01T00:00:00";
XmlElement toTimeModified = inputXMLDoc.CreateElement("ToTimeModified");
timeModifiedRangeFilter.AppendChild(toTimeModified).InnerText = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss");
return inputXMLDoc.OuterXml;
}
EDIT:
I noticed that I have to use the iteratorID in the same request. By the way I have no problem with the qbxml itself.
My question is how can I continue to query the customers, items or whatever on another request?
ProcessRequest (first time)
migrated xml data to another system
and after that for whatever reason I stopped the request
here, can I continue to query on another ProcessRequest?
Iterators have to be used within a single Session. e.g. this will work:
Connect to QuickBooks (establish a session)
Do a request to create an iterator and get the first page of records
Do another request to continue the iterator
Do another request to continue the iterator
While this will not work, and is not something supported by QuickBooks:
Connect to QuickBooks (establish a session)
Do a request to create an iterator and get the first page of records
Disconnect
Do a request to create an iterator and get the first page of records
Is there a way to fetch the list of tags created for a team project, basically we need information such as creation date, created by user etc.
Can we fetch these information using TFS RestApi? If so it would be helpful if code snippets are provided.
There isn't the information of created by user, you can check it in dbo.tbl_TagDefinition table of collection database.
To fetch the list of Tags, you can refer to Giulio’s answer, for example:
[collection URL]/_apis/tagging/scopes/[Team Project ID]/tags?api-version=1.0
To get Team Project ID, you can call this REST API:
[Collection URL]/_apis/projects?api-version=1.0
Simple code for C#:
String MyURI = "[collection URL]/_apis/tagging/scopes/f593de42-d419-4e07-afc7-1f334077c212/tags?api-version=1.0";
WebRequest WReq = WebRequest.Create(MyURI);
WReq.Credentials =
new NetworkCredential("[user name]", "[password]", "[domain"");
WebResponse response = WReq.GetResponse();
Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
// Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
// Read the content.
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
// Display the content.
Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);
There is a REST API to manage Tags, but there is not auditing information as per your request.
If you want to learn how to call a REST API there is plenty of sources, starting from the Get started page.
Is it possible to get tweets which contain photos? I am currently using twitter search api and getting all the tweets having entity details by setting include_entities=true. I see picture details under media object but is there anyway to filter and get tweets objects which just have these media items. Or is there anyway in Twitter4j to do this query?
There is no specific way to specify that I need only photos or videos but you can filter the results based on filter:links or filter:images or filter:videos in your query along with include_entities=true.
For Example: To get the tweets that contain links since 2012-01-31, you query should have include_entities parameter as well as filter:links as shown as follows:
https://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from%3Agoogle%20since%3A2012-01-31%20filter%3Alinks&include_entities=true"
As your need is to filter your tweets based on images/photos, I think you should use filter:images.
An example of your case would look like:
https://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from%3Agoogle%20since%3A2012-01-31%20filter%3Aimages&include_entities=true"
Hope this helps.
With Latest twitter API I couldn't get filters work and I couldn't find either any explanation in their docs. Althought you can get all the tweets and then parse only the media ones. You can fire this if inside your parsing script:
if(this.entities.media != null){
//Parse the tweet
}
This is not the best solution but the worst part comes to twitter who's giving you more information and using more of its own resources.
In the lastest twitter API you can do it in the ConfigurationBuilder instance, before creating the Twitter instance:
ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
cb.setDebugEnabled(false);
cb.setOAuthConsumerKey(API_KEY);
cb.setOAuthConsumerSecret(API_SECRET);
cb.setOAuthAccessToken(ACCESS_TOKEN);
cb.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(SECRET_KEY);
// enabling include_entities parameters
cb.setIncludeEntitiesEnabled(true);
Twitter twitterInstance = new TwitterFactory(cb.build()).getInstance();
Also, after enabling the entities, in the search string you have to had the condition "filter:images".
List<String> keywords = new ArrayList<String>();
keywords.add("#pet");
keywords.add("cat");
// String.join for Java 8
String twitterSearchString = "((" + String.join(" OR ", keywords) + ")";
// adding the filter condition
twitterSearchString += " AND filter:images)";
Query q = new Query(twitterSearchString);
And you will get just results with images (tested with twitter4j-core 4.0.4).
For filter in twitter API you can check official document for latest version as on date Apr 02 2019

Does anyone know why no matter how many comments a given graph status update object has, it will cap the comments at 25? I have a feeling it only returns a 'sample' of the actual comments on the object. How do I force it to get them all without using the FQL APIs?
This is just the way the Graph API works. Take a look at the API docs. You get 25 at a time and have to loop through them. You can use the timestamp (created_time) of the last comment in the batch as a parameter in the next Graph API call or you can use the offset parameter. Which is what I've been doing. I was running into some screwiness using created_time. This is an example from my C# test app. Ignore the references to the PostComment object that's just a data structure I created to hold the data I'm pulling. The magic (and the process i'm referencing) is in the parameters being passed to the graph API call:
parameters.Add("offset", numPostComments);
parameters.Add("limit", 25);
I'm fairly certain you can set the "limit" to anything 25 or below.
do
{
foreach (var comment in comments.data)
{
numPostComments++;
PostComment pc = new PostComment();
pc.Post_ID = p.Id;
pc.Facebook_ID = comment.id;
pc.From = comment.from.name;
if (comment.likes != null)
pc.Likes = (int)comment.likes;
pc.CommentDate = DateTime.Parse(comment.created_time);
pc.CommentText = comment.message;
p.Comments.Add(pc);
}
// Create new Parameters object for call to API
Dictionary<string, object> parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>();
parameters.Add("offset", numPostComments);
parameters.Add("limit", 25);
// Call the API to get the next block of 25
comments = client.Get(string.Format("{0}/comments", p.Facebook_ID), parameters);
} while (comments.data.Count > 0);
