I send to my telegram bot a few photos as group. How I can get the file_id all of my uploaded photos?
I use webhooks, but response is not contain any data about all photos, just some data about last uploaded photo and media_group_id. How I can get all file_id's of my uploaded group photos
response:
The Telegram Bot API does not give to your web-hook any reliable information about the order of each item in a media group. https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#message
Suggestions:
If bot is in a private chat, save the incoming file_id against their media_group_id. Whenever media_group_id changes you would have all you need to use. Engage the user in some other way so that you can quickly determine the media_group_id change and respond quickly from that processing.
If bot is in a group chat, save incoming file_id against the users id as well as media_group_id and similarly monitor changes to media_group_id and user id to take action.
When a solution starts getting too complex for my liking, I prefer to go back to the basic reason for my need and perhaps find out that I do not need to do something an API doesn't afford like "Get all uploaded photos by media_group_id". Maybe I can just process them individually as the updates stream in.
Tip: If the media group has a caption and you only care about the first media item in the group, then monitoring the media_group_id and caption of an incoming message should be sufficient.
if(message.caption != null && message.media_group_id != null){
// first item in new group received
}
Okay, this way is not simple and not elegant but it's working.
We need to see in webhook response media_group_id element - this means that this is a group of media.
If the first point is true - save the data about this media on own server (data must be contain media_group_id)
example: ["media_group_id" => [[some data about photo]]]
When next webhook is come, we need to see his media_group_id, if it's the same - ok, add him to array...
example: ["media_group_id" => [[some data about photo],[some data about photo]]]
if not - ok, make a new element of array:
example: ["media_group_id" => [[some data about photo]], "media_group_id2" =>
[[some data about photo]]]
So we got an array that contains all data about the photos of the one(or more) group.
hmmm... I don't like this way, but how make better?
In Pyrogram, we can use the get_media_group function, https://docs.pyrogram.org/api/methods/get_media_group.html#pyrogram.Client.get_media_group. in my opinion, it is much better than using BOT API.

I have wavefront alerts set up with the following alert condition:
ts(mytimeseries)<20000
Recently the datasource stopped sending data to wavefront but I did not receive an alert. I cannot figure out why this did not alert. Do I need to set up a separate alert for when data is not sent. Thanks
Yes in scenarios where there is no data sent you explicitly need to define the condition for that. Well the best approach is to create a new availability alert but still if you want to manipulate the same condition you can do something like below
default( 20001 ,ts(mytimeseries))<20000
In case there is no data found it will exceed your limit and will raise the alert
My goal is very simple and I would guess it is a very common goal among web developers.
I am creating a Rails (5.1) application, and I simply want to use AJAX to get the value of a specific cell in a specific row of a specific table in my database (later I am going to use that value to highlight some text on the current page in the user's browser).
I have not been able to find any documentation online explaining how to do this. As I said, it seems like a basic task to ask of jquery and ajax, so I'm confused as to why I'm having so much trouble figuring it out.
For concreteness, say I have a table called 'animals', and I want to get the value of the column 'species' for the animal with 'id' = 99.
How can I construct an AJAX call to query the database for the value of 'species' for the 'animal' with 'id' = 99 .
Though some DBs provide a REST API, what we commonly do is define a route in the app to pull and return data from the DB.
So:
Add a route
Add a controller/action for that route
In that action, fetch the data from the DB and render it in your preferred format
On the client-side, make the AJAX call to that controller/action and do something with the response.
We are struggling to mine all time records for this year via API.
We have tried to include the :dont_limit_result GET variable and set it to 1, however it did not help us.
The version that we use is ACTIVE COLLAB 5.11.0, the URL we are hitting: projects?dont_limit_result=1&page=$page
Please give me some advise on how to proceed.
Most of API responses are paginated, and pagination can't be turned off using a GET switch. Instead, you should check following headers:
X-Angie-PaginationCurrentPage - indicates current page
X-Angie-PaginationItemsPerPage - indicates number of items per page
X-Angie-PaginationTotalItems - indicates number of items in the entire data set.
and walk through pages until you reach the end of data set.
Another option is to give project's filter a try. Here's an example request that will return all projects:
curl -H "X-Angie-AuthApiToken: YOUR-API-TOKEN" "http://your.activecollab.com/api/v1/reports/run?type=ProjectsFilter"
This one will return all active projects:
curl -H "X-Angie-AuthApiToken: YOUR-API-TOKEN" "http://your.activecollab.com/api/v1/reports/run?type=ProjectsFilter&completed_on_filter=is_not_set"
I'm using the php API wrapper 3.0 - how do i get the headers back to know there are more pages and then what is the correct form of the query to get further pages?
For example my basic query is:
$timeRecords = $client->get('projects/22/time-records')->getJson();
to get time records - but this only returns 100 and there are more!
Thanks,

I am currently designing a Rest API and is a little stuck on performance matters for 2 of the use cases in the system:
List all campaigns (api/campaigns) - needs to return campaign data needed for listing and paging campaigns. Maybe return up to 1000 records and would take ages to retreive and return detailed data. The needed data can be returned in a single DB call.
Retrieve campaign item (api/campaigns/id) - need to return all data about the campaign and may take up to a second to run. Multiple DB calls is needed to get all campaign data for a single campaign.
My question is: Is it valid to return different json-responses to those 2 calls (if well documented) even if it regards the same resource? I am thinking that the list response is a sub set of the retreive-response. The reason for this is to make to save DB calls and bandwitdh + parsing.
Thanks in advance!
I think it's both fine and expected for /campaigns and /campaigns/{id} to return different information. I would suggest using query parameters to limit the amount of information you need to return. For instance, only return a URI to each player unless you see a ?expand=players query parameter, in which case you return detailed player information.
Using the Box 1.0 REST API, I am trying to work with the functions in SOAP UI.
The API doc for get_managed_users with user_id=12345 (internal id retrieved with get_user_id call correctly) is returning all the users. The docs say that would be the case if you do not specify a user_id value. But my full command is: (Token and API key changed to protect the clueless)
https://www.box.com/api/1.0/rest?user_id=27360&auth_token=blahbalhblah1234&action=get_managed_users&api_key=someKeyYouShouldNotSee
Now I could work with the complete result list, but that won't scale as we get thousands of users into the system.
I can make a call with edit_managed_user, using the same user_id value and the change is reflected in the UI, and in the next get_managed_users call. Thus I do have the correct user_id value, I would so assume.
I tried testuser#gmail.com as the user_id value as well, and get the entire list back. This leads me to believe that somehow I am sending user_id wrong, but I just do not see it.
Any hints? Why, with what seems like a valid user_id value is it acting like it is absent or incorrect?
Most likely you have either called this method with an invalid user_id, or one that is not in your set of managed users. Can you double check that the user comes back in your list of already managed users?
