I would like to know whether there is any way to crawl the google play store using package url in core php. I want to get the app rating and icon of the particular package url from the play store.
Can anyone help me to do this..??
Check out https://42matters.com/api/lookup They have an open source api that should return just about anything you want and return it in a JSON format. It also has an iOS part as well if you want to crawl that as well!
After you register on the website you will be provided with an Access Token. You need this to build your requests. To get the data on an specific package name, you build the link as this:
https://42matters.com/api/1/apps/lookup.json?access_token=?&p=
NOTE: It must be the PACKAGE NAME, not the title of the app, for example, the package name of Clash of Clans is com.supercell.clashofclans. You can obtain the package name by performing a search through their website as well. That link would be built as such:
https://42matters.com/api/1/apps/search.json?access_token=?q= Where query would be clash of clans!
If you use Google Chrome, give PostMan a try, its great for testing API's!
Hopefully this helps you out, if you need anymore help, let me know and I'll be glad to help you!

I did lots of research to find the proper guideline to get a few thing done but seems like really hard. All I am asking is below:
Anyone know in php how to extract posted jobs?
How to get job applications like all the users applied for job?
Where to start my code in php?
I know all below:
business manager id
app id
app secret key from my created app.
but I don't know how to get the pageID?
I have also found this URL to get the job applications: job applpications
but don't know how to perform from the above URL.
Please give me some guideline here as I am completely new to the Facebook API. Also, please if someone can provide me some starting point of php code to begin with my 1st and 2nd question.
Also if you check below image then it's showing that you can get applications from job:
There is no publicly available Jobs API. Reading job posts via the /feed endpoint is also not supported.
I am new in API. I am supposed to develop an API that allows our content provider to give information pertaining soccer whereby he is supposed to create matches,update matches etc .I would like to know how to create a REST API in php that allows a client to enter the information. So far,I have created an API but I dont know how to enable the client enter the information.
Informations:
It is the basic form that you have to create and then you must allow the user to submit the form datas that he/she has filled and you have to post the data to the route that you have created.
You must submit the data and then you have to make the submitted data to be json_encode() so that it will work for the API.
Or Else if you are not designing the form and other such things you can directly go in for the API ADD ONS that the Firefox and the chrome has . Assuming you are using the chrome or Firefox as browsers.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/postman/fhbjgbiflinjbdggehcddcbncdddomop?hl=en
Okay, assuming that you created a REST API already, download the Advanced REST client chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/advanced-rest-client/hgmloofddffdnphfgcellkdfbfbjeloo
I hope that answers to your question.
P.S: May I know what framework did you use to design your REST API ? Additional details can help you further.
Building REST APIs is atually a rather easy task. That's primarily what I work on at work all day. If you have to use PHP (I'm a fan of PHP, so don't take that comment the wrong way :) ), I would reccommend using a framework like Laravel.
The logic to handle the information once it's requested wouldn't change. You would just need to make your requests/responses REST compliant.
Here is a great tutorial for doing just that!
Also, since you use Yii, this tutorial is probably better. I've never used Yii, so I can't really vouch for it, though.
So a while back I used to use the twitter json search in one of my apps but it seems since the change in API versions there has been some major changes which even after reading the documentation I still can't get my head around and it really doesn't make it very easy to understand so hopefully one of you tech guys out there can help me out.
I want to clean my application up so it works again in plainly doing the following:-
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?
q='+param+'&
rpp=100&
result_type=recent&
lang=en
Obviously with the changes this is no longer possible but I want to be able to do this again using the new address but in JQuery unless someone can suggest either a tutorial or a piece of code or even a link to a topic where I could get my answer. I'm also open to using PHP as this is what I used at one point with searching Facebook's timeline and you can get an access token using $.get() for Facebook so surely it would be the same with Twitter too?
Any advice/code is welcome.
Thanks!
the search API needs authorization now. I'd say that, first off, you need to call the https url not http.
With Abhramam William's library you'd do something like the following, after having received your app's bearer token:
$your_tweets = $connection->get("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=from:grey_mina&result_type=recent&count=5");
I've downloaded the Google API Client and installed it on my Server. I set up my API and my client ID.
I configured the PHP file and now I'm trying to open it:
http://euotm.net/google-api-php-client/examples/calendar/simple.php
I signin using a Google Account, but then all I get is a code.
WHy does that happen? I need it to show a calendar.
I'm new to this API, so I really don't know much.
Thanks ahead,
Tom.
Indeed google calendar api doesn't provide a display widget to integrate calendar to your application. The api only gives you the possibility to retrieve every details about your calendars and their events, and then you'll have to find a way to display it on your screen if you want a nice layout.
have you
require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client.php';
require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/contrib/Google_CalendarService.php';
these files in your code ? i think you may miss it. what error, you are getting kindly make more sense about this
I am having the same issue. From what I've found so far, it looks like RadASM is right, but I was wondering what you moved on to in terms of which widget/gadget you used to display your actual calendar.
If you haven't found it yet, you may be looking for this:
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/gadgets/event/
Please let me know what you went with.
RadASM is right. Google Calendar API provides well structured data for the calendars and calendar events, allowing data manipulation, too. Desiring your custom layout, you need to take care of it.
Here is a detailed explanatory article with full demo code within a single HTML file - Easy and compact access to your Google calendars.
I have noticed some Twitter Applications manage to get a particular users Location, Name, Profile Image etc using just the twitter username?
Hows is this possible?
I ask because I have not come across any where in the Twitter docs on how you can do this. I can get a users details myself using oAuth when the user provides my app permission but thats it.
Would be grateful if this could be cleared. I hope its not the use of CURL as this is not a good idea in my eyes. If there is another way, is there a PHP implementation that I could use.
Thank you for any help.
Update
I did not know that existed! Is there a PHP wrapper or class someone has written to use that ? Sorry, I am complete noob and I relay on wrappers and simple function calls!
It's returned by the users/show call from the API.
For example:
http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?screen_name=dougw
The API wiki lists a PHP library FWIW.
