i am looking for an api interface from Onenote to track my work. So lets say i have a shared pages with my friends A and B. Three of us are able to make modification and edition.
One day A made one new page and 10 minutes later B came and modified it. Thus for this page, we have 2 versions, A and then B.
So my question is whether there is an existing api to get the metadata, such as modified time and author, of individual versions?
Thanks in advance.
There isn't, unfortunately. I encourage you to enter this item in our uservoice site.

In short, getting page information for my notes through the OneNote API has data that lags by about 3 days. Why is this the case (I assume only for me) and how can this be fixed?
I'm working on a personal R program to read my OneNote Notes. Got it up and running about a week ago. Authentication works fine and I can use GET requests to get information from the OneNote API. However, the information that is returned about my OneNote pages (using GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote/pages) is about 3 days old. New notes from the past 3 days and changes made in the last 3 days are not reflected in this data. It is not frozen in time, i.e. checking tomorrow will give me information that is 3 days behind tomorrow. This is not solely an issue with my application, as the same behavior/results are produced through the Microsoft Graph Explorer. Does anyone have insight on how to fix this?
I can confirm this behavior is still true as of Jan. 30. Calls to get the pages of a section, or pages in general return indexes of very stale information. To test, delete or create a bunch of pages in your OneNote account, then call in the API Explorer:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote/pages
You will be given information about deleted pages, and no new information for at least days after these changes have been made. If you follow the returned 'contentUrl' properties for deleted pages, the content does not exist.
It seems other endpoints in the OneNote API are not subject to this same problem. Adding/removing/updating sections, for example, results in immediate changes to the results from the API.
Sorry to hear that. Just to clarify, are you using your personal account or work account for auth?
We are working will Google's API and we were looking for a field for the new feature- Set an expiration date for file sharing (http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.com/2016/03/set-expiration-dates-for-access-to.html), but could not find anything in the json file.
Is this field documented? Are you going to add it in the future?
If not, can we ask for it? It will be a big help since this feature really mitigates sharing issues our customers may have.
First I would like to say that that only refers to the Google Drive website it doesn't say anything about the API. Second it was posed on Posted: 3/15/2016 and says Gradual rollout (2–3 months for feature visibility). Which means that at the earliest everyone will have it on June 15 2016. This is again on the website.
There is no mention of it in the documentation for the API so I think you will have to assume at least for now that this is a website only feature and not something that will be available in the API
I would add it as an feature request on the issue forum
The question is pretty clear I think, but I will elaborate on why I'm asking it.
I created a little blog engine based on OneNote. Basically, the blog configuration asks for an access to OneNote. Then the user chooses a section under which the blog posts are stored.
There is a cron script that will use all these informations to automatically get new pages, fetch the medias and cache every, and finally display the posts.
I chose OneNote because I own three Windows 8 computers and a Windows Phone, so OneNote was an easy choice, as I didn't want to get an other application to manage my blog.
There is still a lot to do (as always with softwares...), but I want to make this more or less an open source project, so that other people can install it on their websites and link it directely to OneNote.
The only "big" obstacle for this now is that authentication in the OneNote API needs to register the application on the Live Connect, and specify a redirect domain. So every user wishing to use this blog engine on their server will have to register their own application... That will look complicated just for a blog, especially if you're not tech-savvy.
Is there a way to "skip" or work around this requirement, even if it requires the user to make the section public (as it is for a blog, this doesn't seem too much to ask) ?
Thank you in advance,
Cheers
Sounds like an awesome project! When you get it released be sure to let us know at #OneNoteDev.
Unfortunately, at this time there's no way to circumvent the requirement for Live Connect OAuth configuration. You could offer a hosted variant so only you need to worry about the LiveID configuration.
We have inherited a website of around 30,000 pages (actual content), each with a unique title and rich content. Whatever we try, Google seems to not like listing the new site and visits have dropped by 80% (vs. old site & domain).
The website was redeveloped recently and changed domain at that point too, which hasn't helped work out what is happening and this marked the drop in visitors. The old domain was registered Oct 2005, the new in 2009, so both have some age to them. In Webmaster tools recently submitted a notice that the site address had changed, possibly too soon to see any effect of this (7th Dec).
The older CMS was hard to redirect from, so have a very large .htaccess file (1MB), is there a limit to how large this file should be with redirects? I could perhaps code something in PHP to handle the 30,000 redirects programatically, but the URL's in the old were pretty strange using comma separation and other symbols. I have used header checkers and the correct 301's are being returned.
We also submitted a sitemap with 25,000 pages via Webmaster tools, of which it listed 11! There were no errors and as I say, the page content is rich with descriptive titles.
Google can see 68,000 pages in Webmaster tools, but the actual listed in only 175, so the problem seems quite significant and the others remain 'unselected'. The curve of the 'unselected' seems to reflect the efforts we have put in to have the site list, yet they seem not to be indexed.
Site: http://bit.ly/VKYClf
(The older site was the same name but hyphenated)
I have researched a lot, but all steps so far have been fruitless and the pages listed hands around the 170 mark.
Can you think of any specific steps worth taking to identify any factors preventing the site from listing?
Thanks in advance and happy to provide more information on anything.
EDIT: In case it helps anyone else, the website is built of Wordpress but uses custom vars to generate lots of pages on the fly... since WP 2.9 a canonical tag was added, but the two were not playing well together and they were pointing to anything WP could find with that ID... have now removed and hopefully things are moving forward
It's going to take awhile to get fully indexed if you just submitted 25000 url's, it may take months for that.
I would recommend you log into google webmasters, go to health (fetch as Google) you can give individual url's to crawl, Google should respond within 24 hours. If your indexed page still does not show up you have major problems that I would not be able to assist with. You get 500 fetches a week. If you want your site indexed right away it may be your only shot.
Is there a way to get a user's achievements list from Xbox without dealing with screen scraping etc.?
How do sites like http://www.trueachievements.com do it? (they're definitely not screen scraping as they do not have my Live ID credentials...)
I know there's the Xbox LIVE Community Developer Program (XCDP) that provides some API but they do not provide achievements information as far as I can tell (links below)
http://duncanmackenzie.net/Blog/put-up-a-rest-api-for-xbox-gamertag-data
http://file-pasta.com/file/XML_Feeds.pdf
If you want this information you can check out my new site https://xboxapi.com.
Again if your profile is public then you can see friends, games and achievements. This has taken me over a year (on and off) to code and is now in public beta. To date it has served nearly 2,000 requests and growing. I am still working on optimising this script and it should only get better in time.
I currently have an API request limit setup for 120 requests per hour per IP.
Lets hope there are no major updates to xbox.com any time soon.
It says at the bottom of the TrueAchievements website that they are a member of the Xbox LIVE Community Developer Program. That leads me to believe that the XCDP does give information about achievements. Duncan Mackenzie's API for xbox worked for me for a little while, but then his web service seemed to go offline. Duncan also says that his web service will not be returning sadly. I can't get ahold of him to ask for release of his source code. I'm currently looking for another solution in retrieving the data. Unless I can get official access with XCDP, it looks like I'll have to do screen scraping. The screen scraping approach is not going to be pretty though. I'll let you know if I get any more information.
The current XCDP API does not give you any individual achievement information. At the moment the only way to get achievements is by page scraping and as of a couple months ago Microsoft has removed their non-JS log in form for xbox.com making it very difficult to log in. TA has found a way to get around this but he's trying to monopolize the scene and isn't willing to help others on this topic.
Even though TA does not have your LIVE credentials if your xbox.com page is public and if you give them your gamertag anyone can get your information by going to http://live.xbox.com/en-US/GameCenter?compareTo=GAMERTAGHERE
With the change the Microsoft has done they've also modified achievement icons. If you're looking at a friends profile and if you don't have the game or have unlocked the achievement the icon will be monochromatic even if it's unlocked by that person.
