I'm having trouble using the API to view a segment. I'm using PHP. My code is as follows:
$url = "https://us7.api.mailchimp.com/export/1.0/list/?apikey=$api_key&id=$list_id&$segment";
$result = file_get_contents($url);
where $segment is an array used to generate the segment.
I can get the following version working...
$segment = "segment[match]=all"
"&segment[conditions][0][field]=LNAME".
"&segment[conditions][0][op]=like".
"&segment[conditions][0][value]=smith";
which generates a segment of all subscribers to my list with a last name containing "smith".
However, what I actually want to do is generate a segment based on people who've been sent any mailer in the last 7 days. I've created this manually to get the correct fields and generated the following array based on it:
$segment = "segment[match]=all".
"&segment[conditions][0][condition_type]=Aim".
"&segment[conditions][0][field]=aim".
"&segment[conditions][0][op]=sent".
"&segment[conditions][0][value]=last7day";
but it's giving me a 300 error. This isn't listed in MailChimp's current error glossary on the export api documentation, but according to a snapshot of the old error documentation means "Campaign doesn't exist" (https://web.archive.org/web/20130209144951/https://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/1.3/exceptions.field.php) which is weird because I'm not referencing a campaign.
What am I doing wrong?
// , Click on playground and with your API key.
Generate some responses and look at the campaign id.
It's not the integer value you see when hovering over the campaign with id=, it's another value.
Look for the id that the API needs in the response.
This will fix your issue.
I just found out that Facebook updated their graph api and now require an access token to retrieve like counts for a page to be displayed on an external website. I went through the motions of setting up an app to get the token and have the following:
$fbData = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://graph.facebook.com/myFacebookName?access_toke=MyAppId|MySecretToken'));
print_r($fbData);
It seems to only be returning objects:
stdClass Object ( [name] => My Facebook Name [id] => id number )
And that is all, giving me nothing to parse through. The name and id coming through are correct so there is a connection happening. Note that I have edited out some information so MyFacebookName and MyAppId|MySecretToken are actually populated with the correct info. Any ideas how to get the full JSON list to grab page likes? Am I missing something?
UPDATE
Thanks to Tobi and further reading the graph api, documentation I was able to get the number of likes with with following:
$fbData = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://graph.facebook.com/name?fields=likes&access_token=appId|accessToken'));
<?php echo number_format($fbData->likes);?>
You need to specifically request the fields you want in the response. In your case this would be
https://graph.facebook.com/myFacebookName?fields=id,name,likes&access_toke=MyAppId|MySecretToken
I don't understand why you say there "nothing to parse", because the object IS returned and can be used. So what's the problem?
Using echo $fbData['likes'] should give you the number of likes.

I try to make an script to get data from LINKEDIN, i am able to get many of information about profile like name, mail, phone, picture url and so on, unfortunately how ever I try I can't get to informations like work experience and many other.
My Request looks like:
$xml_response = $linkedin->getProfile("~:(id,first-name,last-name,interests,publications,patents,languages,skills,date-of-birth,email-address,phone-numbers,im-accounts,main-address,twitter-accounts,headline,picture-url,public-profile-url)");
This work correctly, but lets try to add companies
Error:
I added it at the end of $linkedin->getProfile and here is the
error message what I get:
[message] => Unknown field {companies} in resource {Person}
Full function looks like:
public function linkedinGetUserInfo( $requestToken='', $oauthVerifier='', $accessToken=''){
include_once 'linkedinoAuth.php';
$linkedin = new LinkedIn($this->config['linkedin_access'], $this->config['linkedin_secret']);
$linkedin->request_token = unserialize($requestToken); //as data is passed here serialized form
$linkedin->oauth_verifier = $oauthVerifier;
$linkedin->access_token = unserialize($accessToken);
try{
$xml_response = $linkedin->getProfile("~:(id,first-name,last-name,interests,publications,patents,languages,skills,date-of-birth,email-address,phone-numbers,im-accounts,main-address,twitter-accounts,headline,picture-url,public-profile-url,educations,companies)");
}
catch (Exception $o){
print_r($o);
}
return $xml_response;
}
Documentation I found (but didn't help me )
https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/fields
I expect I miss something really stupid but cant figurate it out, can somone help me?
LinkedIn provided all these fields before May 12th 2015.
https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,email-address,picture-url,industry,associations,interests,num-recommenders,date-of-birth,honors-awards,three-current-positions,three-past-positions,volunteer,location," +
"positions:(id,title,summary,start-date,end-date,is-current,company:(id,name,type,size,industry,ticker))," +
"educations:(id,school-name,field-of-study,start-date,end-date,degree,activities,notes)," +
"publications:(id,title,publisher:(name),authors:(id,name),date,url,summary),"+
"languages:(id,language:(name),proficiency:(level,name)),"+
"skills:(id,skill:(name)))";
"courses:(id,name,number),"+
"recommendations-received:(id,recommendation-type,recommendation-text,recommender))";
"patents:(id,title,summary,number,status:(id,name),office:(name),inventors:(id,name),date,url))";
But, they have updated their APIs link:https://developer.linkedin.com/support/developer-program-transition
According to which only these
Profile API — /v1/people/~
Share API — /v1/people/~/shares
Companies API — /v1/companies/{id}
endpoints will be active, Rest require a Apply with Linkedin /Partner with Linked association.
phone-numbers,im-accounts,main-address,twitter-accounts,headline would come under r_contactinfo which needs a Apply with linkedin
Instead of companies, you must use positions keyword.
$xml_response = $linkedin->getProfile("~:(id,first-name,last-name,positions)");
Positions field description in the following address.

I have been testing the Facebook php sdk. I am able to search for pages & places but not groups. According to the documentation, this should return groups...
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=programming&type=group
The below code works. If I change the type from "page" to "group", the code fails. I do not get an exception:
$query = urlencode('Harlem');
$type = 'page';
$results = $facebook->api('/search?q='.$query.'&type='.$type);
It depends on what kind of Access Token you're using. As of https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/search/#access_tokens searches for pages require an App Access Token, whereas searches for Groups require an User Access Token. Please check accordingly.
Using Foursquare API it returns me the following JSON feed
{"meta":{"code":200},"notifications":[{"type":"notificationTray","item":{"unreadCount":1}},{"type":"message","item":{"message":"OK! We've got you # Place XXX. You've been here 2 times."}},{"type":"insights","item":{"insights":{"count":4,"items":[{"type":"pointsReward","image":"https://foursquare.com/img/points/discovery-venue3.png","title":"First of your friends to check into Place XXX!","shareable":false,"points":{"image":{"prefix":"https://foursquare.com/img/points/discovery-venue3_","sizes":[44,60,120],"name":".png"},"message":"First of your friends to check into Place XXX!","points":5}},{"type":"pointsReward","image":"https://foursquare.com/img/points/discovery-venue3.png","title":"First time at Place XXX.","shareable":false,"points":{"image":{"prefix":"https://foursquare.com/img/points/discovery-venue3_","sizes":[44,60,120],"name":".png"},"message":"First time at Place XXX.","points":5}},{"type":"pointsReward","image":"https://foursquare.com/img/points/category-outdoor.png","title":"First Plaza check-in of your friends!","shareable":false,"points":{"image":{"prefix":"https://foursquare.com/img/points/category-outdoor_","sizes":[44,60,120],"name":".png"},"message":"First Plaza check-in of your friends!","points":6}},{"type":"pointsReward","image":"https://foursquare.com/img/points/discovery-venue3.png","title":"First of your friends to check in here.","shareable":false,"points":{"image":{"prefix":"https://foursquare.com/img/points/discovery-venue3_","sizes":[44,60,120],"name":".png"},"message":"First of your friends to check in here.","points":2}}]}}},{"type":"leaderboard","item":{"total":18,"scores":[{"icon":"https://foursquare.com/img/points/discovery-venue3.png","message":"First of your friends to check into...
What I would like to do is to display the message "OK! We've got you # Place XXX. You've been here 2 times." which is embedded in the second "type" tag
I'm used to do get this kind of value using a foreach function but with this one I cannot get it.
I need help from an expert, thanks for your participation.
Code Im trying to use without success:
$data = json_decode($response, true); // return array not object
foreach($data['notifications']['type'][0] as $item) {
echo $item['item']['message'];
}
notifications is an array, so you can't hash into it with 'type' like you are trying to do. You should iterate through $data['notifications'] until you find an object with a "type" property of "message". Then dig into that object's "item" and get its "message". For more details about the notifications field in a response, see https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/responses/notifications.
In the sample JSON you provided, to directly access the content you want, you could use $data['notifications'][1]['item']['message']. The 1 may change depending on what API version you're passing in, but should be relatively stable as long as you keep using the same version.
