I am trying to get users' objectives through the rest API, for Google Fit.
While I know this exists for Android: https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/fitness/GoalsClient
I am not aware (after browsing for hours) of such methods/entrypoint for the rest API.
Could someone point me to the right ressource/direction?
Thanks

I'm reading the documentation of GM-APIs, I found the section relative to "Places", but I can't find anything to get the information about the per-hour number of customers for a certain place.
Do you know whenever you search a place on GMaps, there is an indication of the frequency of customers, in that way you can know if the place will be busy or empty.
Is there any way to retrieve that information through Google Maps API?
Currently, there is no available feature in Google Maps API that could get the exact number or the of people in an establishment to determine its busiest time of the day.
However, there is an existing Feature Request in Google Map Platform's Public issue tracker to expose the place's popular times which seems to be related to the feature you are looking for.
Here's the link to that feature request: https://issuetracker.google.com/35827350. You can star/favorite this feature request and feel free to leave a comment there regarding your use case for additional information as well.
I am looking for a solution that would tell me if a particular company has a website. The way I imagine using it is: I would send a phrase-based query to the API (for example "Salesforce Limited") and it would return a website if it has one in its database).
I checked Google Maps API and Google Places API but can's see if they provide website addresses for places.
I know Google displays a location on the right hand side if you type a name of the place and at times also has a website link referring to it:
example data I am after
Do you know if the website data can be accessed by any of the Google APIs and if not what could be an alternative way of obtaining such data?
Thanks

Apologies up front - I'm not overly technical but helping a developer partner find an answer to a problem. Feel free to be as technical as you like in response though. I'll get him to look at the answers!
We're trying to pull the location (GPS coords) of the red pin dropped in the google maps app when you do a search (on iOS or android), to use in a separate app.
The key to this is that it pulls the info you've already searched for in google maps, NOT having to search again within the second app. i.e. using google maps API in the second app is off the table.
Options so far seem to be...
1) Run an intent to request the data in the background. However, it seems that the intent has to push coordinates to the gmaps app, and can't just "ask" the coordinates of the current pin.
2) Use the google maps API to allow the user of the second app to login to their account so it can pull the account Maps history (i.e. can see the most recent place in the search history). However, it seems that the google maps API doesn't give access to this data.
3)....??
We're stumped. Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
Have you considered using a Geocoder to get the coordinate data? It'll depend on your use case (when and how "red pins" are created), but you can circumvent using maps with it.
We are building a web application based on Google Drive API. We'd like to incorporate a facility of displaying who is viewing our "document" in real time like Google docs and spreadsheets are doing.
Implementing it from scratch would be quite challenging because of the necessity to track when a user leaves the page. So we'd first like to check if anything is already available for this purpose.
We have found out Google Analytics API may be helpful, but it can only give us a number, not user names.
Google Drive Realtime API looks promising and suitable for other needs of our development, however at the moment it's not clear whether it might help with displaying current viewers.
Any ideas on possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.
This is possible in the realtime API. See https://developers.google.com/drive/realtime/handle-events#collaborator_events
There is an example of it in the Realtime Playground.
I have some dynamic data. I want to call this data dynamically in google maps location positions. When user clicks the location, user should be able to see details and photo of particular location. User should be able to filter the data as per his requirement and view filtered location.
Kindly let me know what type of API i should go for. I have searched alot and i came across Google maps api, google geo, google places api, fusiontables, spreadsheets, xml, kml, javascript, webservice and much more techniques and services.
I am working on asp.net site and sql database, is there any way to work with the same platform. Else please give me proper and easy dynamic way to use the service.
I want the exact maps features used in following site : http://inspire.makemytrip.com/inspire/
Thank You
P.S. : Whoever doing Downvote for this post should first Note that Google maps API 3 official group has themselves mailed me to add Question here so if you dont wish to answer atleast dont downvote.
I would suggest using Google Maps API V3 with PHP/MySQL as there are numerable tutorials available.
If you insist on using ASP here is a start.
