I've been wondering if there's a way to retrieve Chrome Store Extension details with an ID of the extension. I found the API but it seems to be limited to only YOUR extensions, but I'm hoping to be able to take an extension...
For example (Clear Cache):
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clear-cache/cppjkneekbjaeellbfkmgnhonkkjfpdn
Use the ID of the extension and request a JSON:
https://www.googleapis.com/chromewebstore/v1.1/items/cppjkneekbjaeellbfkmgnhonkkjfpdn
I'm hoping to get the rating, description, number of users, an icon, maybe dev's website and things like that. I figured there's probably a way but the docs keep looping me back to the same pages and I end up where I started. Maybe someone has got the endpoint I'm looking for.

I'm trying to log autocomplete responses from a gmail "people" server, and I'm trying to find a program or tool to do this, like the network section in chrome dev tools. I tried using a web crawler script, but authentication would be a mess. I also tried Wireshark, but it was all garble to me and probably the wrong way to go. Is this even possible? Can somebody help me, I'm totally out of my comfort zone here. please see attached image
It would be best to find an API that google makes public for the data that you need and use that to query the data. For people, google does have an API. Have a look here: https://developers.google.com/people
Tools commonly used to make HTTP queries are https://www.postman.com/ and https://curl.haxx.se/
I've been searching for an google chrome extension on the webstore that enables me to prevent every http request, ask me if I want to modify it and the finally send it. I couldn't find any extension that fit this requirements, I'm even considering to develop my own. Does any one knows a solution for this?
I have a new extension that I am trying to get more users for, I am running two campaigns - lets call them A and B
These campaigns eventually lead to my extension's page on the Chrome store.
Is there a way to know how much installs\addons did each campaign added?
Not clicks - Proper users that added the extension.
Thanks!
In theory, yes.
If you have enabled Google Analytics for your extensions (created a property and added it while editing the extension), that property will start tracking your Web Store page. If you haven't installed it, then no, no such refined data will be available.
You will see installs as visits to /track_install/* URLs. You can create a Goal to have better analytics for it, but you can probably dig through the data even without it.
Few days ago I was able to make request to:
https://drive.google.com/a/{{domain}}/file/d/{{docDriveId}}/image?pagenumber=1&w=400
Via this API I was able to get image preview on multi-page documents.
Seems it's there, but times-out after some time. It doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know what happened? It seems there's no documentation on this API.
On the other hand, I am aware of the thumbnailLink URL when getting document object via API, but this will only get 1st page preview.
Any alternative solutions to this?
Thanks a lot,
M
That URL is not a part of the official Drive API and is not guaranteed to remain stable. The Drive API doesn't include the ability to fetch per-page image previews of documents, but you may want to investigate using the embedLink as an alternative: https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files
I am on a mission to expand my knowledge and create an extension for chrome similar to how firephp works. I want to integrate with my existing logging and debugging api within my framework and I want to be able to send these messages to the console. Nothing really robust to start with just a way to send debug messages to the chrome console from php.
The plan is to send the messages via the headers and have the extension read those headers and interpret them. I've been trying to find information on accessing the response headers and can't find any examples. Some of the research has led me to possibly having to develop an NPAPI plugin to be able to accomplish this.
Before traveling down a dead end path I wanted to get the communities opinion here on which path I should be taking to find a solution.
Chrome cannot currently do this, but Google is working on it. A preliminary and incomplete implementation is in the development version of Chrome, or in Chrome Canary.

The web request api is now in stable and can be used to access header events.

Here is an extension that does what you are trying to do. It uses cookies to communicate, from what I can tell.
