Is there a way to check the cloud credits consumed by every reconstruction (photoscene_id) on the Autodesk Forge Reality Capture API? - autodesk-forge

I run several reconstructions per day using the ReCap API and I would like to know if there is a way to identify the number of cloud credits consumed by each of them. Is there a way to check this, is it linked to the photoscene ID?
- I try looking at the Usage Analysis and it adds up all my credits consumed per day.
- The GET photoscene details end point gives me just the aws_hourly_rate.

Unfortunately not right now but we’ve got internal APIs for such purposes and they could be released for public access in the near future. Stay tuned to our Forge Blog for announcements.

Translation from IFC to SVF way too slow

I tried to translate a big IFC file (150mb) for the veiwer and it took around 15 minutes only the translation without the uploading part. So is such translation time normal and can it be done something about it? I am currently using the free credits only for testing. Is there a performance increase with the paid credits?
The /modelderivative/v2/regions/eu/designdata/job is used with the advanced conversionMethod:modern.
No, there is no performance difference between trial and paid accounts. Forge dev account with a valid trial plan can use full Forge features as paid one as I know.
What happened after submitting a translation job?
After submitting a translation request and it returns success, it means that your translation request is sent to our service and has been put into the translation queue successfully. It doesn't mean that your model will be processed by our service immediately.
Instead, you have to line up! Since our service resources are limited and shared worldwide, you will need to wait for enqueued IFC translation jobs from other Forge users completed, and then our service will start to process yours. Therefore, waiting for 15mins is not slow from my perspective.

Autodesk forge Usage Analytics won't show any data

I can't see Usage Analytics after using Derivative api.
I see only current credit balance on Autodesk account page, but I need informations about consumption of my apps separately.
Only for first Billing period it's shown detail data correctly (other two months are empty).
Unfortunately as of now our usage analytics still can’t break usage data down by apps yet - will let our Engineering know it’s good to have the breakdown available and update this answer when it’s there.

Is there any way to set limit on Autodesk Forge Credit consumption?

I want to make sure that my app do not accidentally consume more credits than I can afford. How can I set such limits of weekly or monthly consumption?
Unfortunately billing cap is not yet possible so you will need to calculate your own spending per the pricing info here in combination with your own metering (see some open source projects here).
Will let Engineering know it is good to have the budgeting feature soon as possible and update this answer when it’s available.

Referrer limit per google-maps api key

We are providing websites/CMS solutions for more than 2500 customers. Almost all websites have google-map module. So since google changed its map usage policy, from one day to another all those webs had an error on their map modules. We need to come up with some quick (and dirty) solution. We decided to use multiple api-keys, and devide domains between them - alphabetic. And we registered all those 2500+ domains under these keys - manually. One by one.
The solution worked until last week. Now we somehow reached some kind of limit, as we cannot register any new domains/referrers under one of those api-keys. The actual count of domains/referrer of this given api-key: 1537. The saving process yields an error with tracking code (which is every time I try different).
Is there really some kind of limit? Does anyone experienced the same problems. Does some time-economic solution exists?
Thanks for any help or suggestions. Peace!
There is indeed a limit of (at time of writing) about 1,000 referer restrictions per API key. You can create about 100 keys per project, so you can authenticate 100,000 domains with a single project. To proceed further, you can create multiple projects (note that multiple projects can be combined under the same billing account, so you would still receive a single bill).
As a short term fix, you can temporarily remove all restrictions on the key, so that apps relying on that key are functional again. Then you can take the time to release a new key sharding pattern that follows these guidelines.
I just created a feature request so that the situation can be improved, for this use case ("star" it, to be notified of updates).
Google has recently released an alpha version of API that allows manage API keys programmatically.
The best way to handle thousands of authorized domains is to use an API to programmatically manage your API Keys and their restrictions, and we have recently launched a new service that allows you to do this.
This API is still in Alpha. If you are interested in becoming a Trusted Tester for this service, you can use the following form to sign up, please read the instructions carefully:

Please note that this API is not part of the Google Maps Platform. After you fill out the form, you will be contacted by the API Keys API team with instructions on how to get started, and how to receive support.
API Keys API is currently free of charge. However, please note that use of Cloud Endpoints may be subject to charges at high traffic volume. You can check the pricing sheet here:

Integrating CRM with Google maps

Just started testing Zoho Crm as a CRM solution for our company. Someone asked for a Google map on the page showing our upcoming engagements.I know Zoho provides an API that allows accessing its data from the outside, but I actually need to integrate the map on the data-entry form.If anyone could provide a pointer to any mashup with Zoho CRM (be it Google MAps, Bing Maps, or any similar web service), I would be extremely grateful.
I know this is an ancient question, but since there's no answers and this is pretty much all that came up on google when searching for Zoho CRM integration with Google Maps I'll take a stab at this anyway. I recently got a similiar request, but in this case they wanted to display the leads on a page outside of Zoho.
I created a Java servlet and JSP that runs on Google App Engine. The servlet will connect to Zoho CRM to retrieve all leads and geocode the addresses they are registered with. The client-side Javascript is then taking care of creating the markers on the map for all the addresses.
It's a bit too much code to paste here (although not that much), but you can check it out at http://code.google.com/p/zohomap/.
I put the demo up at http://zohomap.appspot.com/.
I know this is an old question, but it came up on Google Search. About three years ago, I start a similar Google Maps integration project for SugarCRM. The JJWDesign Google Maps project is up on GitHub.com. The idea came about during a marketing meeting and quickly grew out of control.
Download at:
https://github.com/jjwdesign/JJWDesign-Google-Maps
Here are some of the pitfalls that I've experienced:
Exceeding Limits of Geocoding: The Google Maps API v3 has in place a limit of 2,500 Geocoding requests per day. It is also throttled to 10 per second. So, you'll most likely need to develop something to queue these requests. I used a CRON/Scheduled Task to handle the processing trigger.
PHP Memory Limits: The design of SugarCRM creates rather large objects for each one of it's records. Using 10,000 of these objects will usually exceed the memory allowed for PHP to execute. So, special consideration may be needed in examining the best way to pull data into the map.
Always develop/test with a large data set; 10,000+ records. This way you'll be able to more easily see inefficiencies in your code; especially JavaScript. The IE Browser has been know to cause issues with MarkerClustering.
Get ready for an explosion of interest in advanced search / filtering functionality. Also, expect to develop a large section of Admin configuration. Everyone wants something slightly different.
Cheers,
Jeff
