I'm trying to filter tweets results by client name like - using source operator.
I'm trying to do it with a a client named "single platform" , to get tweets like http://twitter.com/#!/phoenixparknyc/status/43340419475570688 but the search doesn't seems to work (tried with quotes as well)
http://twitter.com/#!/search/source%3Asingle%20platform%20Specials%2FEvents%20
Any idea how to make the search works ?
The correct way to handle multi word sources is to remove the spaces. For example Twitter for Android becomes source:twitterforandroid. Unfortunately searching by source is pretty unreliable and generally doesn't work with low volume clients. My guess is it will eventually work for your client but who knows when.

How can I retrieve all Arabic speaking channels locally in Israel.
Using the API explorer, I don't see such an option.
Which fields are mandatory for search to call the search API?
Is there any way to fulfill this task?
Update:
API Explorer
I couldn't get results
There are lots of parameters in the API v3 Docs for Search that you can play around with, some in particular you might find helpful are:
location
locationRadius
regionCode
relevanceLanguage
and you'll need to set type = "channel" to return only channels.
The only mandatory parameter is part which is what data you want returned from your results. For this search call, you only have one option for part, which is "snippet".
This is the only way to do it simply within your multiple parameters, and it will take 100 quota per search, assuming you have an API key already.
If you press 'Try This API' on the right, it'll even give you code snippets you can copy in a variety of languages, since you didn't specify one in the prompt.
Depending on the language, a call could look like the following:
GET https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&location=Israel®ionCode=IL&relevanceLanguage=ar&type=channel&key=[YOUR_API_KEY] HTTP/1.1
I'm working on a project on Microsoft Graph with PowerShell, where i have to create a planner.
So, i'm using POST requests to create buckets, tasks, ... But some of them have accents in their name, description, ... (à faire, terminée, ...). And when i'm running the script, the result shown in the planner is unreadable : "Termin�e"
I've already tried to change the encoding to UTF-8, or modify these names with url encode, but none of them worked.
Is there a way to correctly display these accents with Microsoft Graph ?
I couldn't figure it out either. Looks like Graph doesn't support accents/diacritics properly yet, so I resorted to creating the objects via Graph then (re)setting DisplayName using PNP commandlets.
It'll probably figure itself out in time.
I would like to build a web application that tracks some user defined search terms in real-time and provides a real-time visualization. http://www.monitter.com/ is an app I've found that is similar in its requirements. What is the appropriate API to use for it? Initially I thought the streaming API was the obvious choice, but the limitation of one concurrent connection means that I can only track one search term at a time(with one user account). I could get around this by making multiple user accounts, but that seems like the wrong approach.
I looked at user streams but the language for that API seems to be more geared towards desktop applications.
So, what is the most best API for my use case? Thanks.
Actually you can track up to 400 keywords/terms via one streaming API connection.
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-api/methods#track
Depending on language you are using there are multiple interfaces you can use.
If you are using PHP, then I can suggest Phirehose as it works quite well and has multiple examples for different usages scenarios included.

Whats not there - when processing received tweets you will need to figure out how to match which tweet corresponds to which keyword/term because twitter streaming API gives all matching tweets in one stream.
Investigating further using Firebug, I found that monitter.com simply polls the REST search api every second or so on the client side. This is what I ended up doing as well.
The Twitter-search features the possibility to search for a source of tweet by using the parameter "source:" (e.g. source:tweetdeck).
If I just search for that it complains about a missing query, but I actually want to search for any tweets from a certain source.
Is that possible?
You need to have some form of criteria, even if it's just 'recent tweets'. To query every single tweet is, I suspect, not possible at all and certainly not within the capabilities of the API.
Note: My mistake - was thinking of one of the REST APIs.
I just have a link to a product page, at amazon. How do I get all the information (photo, price etc), in my ruby program, just using this link?
Here's the list of supported urls as disclosed by amazon for their oembed, product advertising API would come to picture only after parsing through these URLs and getting the ASINs
http://*amazon.*/gp/product/*
http://*amazon.*/*/dp/*
http://*amazon.*/dp/*
http://*amazon.*/o/ASIN/*
http://*amazon.*/gp/offer-listing/*
http://*amazon.*/*/ASIN/*
http://*amazon.*/gp/product/images/*
http://*amazon.*/gp/aw/d/*
http://www.amzn.com/*
http://amzn.com/*
I found this library (I'm using Rails)
amazon-ecs
I'm experimenting with it. Still, I'd require some kind of ID (product id?) to get details of a particular product. For example, consider this link to kindle
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Amazons-Wireless-Reading-Generation/dp/B00154JDAI/ref=amb_link_84372271_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=06JJGQP9J3BHKPE38SXP&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=478184871&pf_rd_i=507846
In that link, I noticed ASIN, which is B00154JDAI.
Looks like I can use this ID, to get product information (using amazon-ecs). I just need to parse the URL, to get ASIN.
Is there any other way to do it?
No, I am not going to do screen scraping, that is not a good idea anytime.
If you want to do this, the Nokogiri or hpricot libraries both allow HTML parsing and searching. However, this kind of screen-scraping is notoriously unreliable (as it may break any time Amazon decides to reorganize their HTML), so if you're planning to do this sort of thing for any length of time I'd recommend leveraging the Amazon Product Advertising API instead.
In your program: fetch the page and parse HTML. Filter out the required information. There may be some libraries in Ruby (that I am unaware of), which parse HTML.
hpricot seems to do what you want.
You should use the library Ruby/AWS (google for it, my karma is not high enough to allow external links...). It has been written exactly for that.
You might need to use the built-in Search to find the item you're looking for. After that, the API gives access to pictures, links and all usable information.
