I want to add new entries to Wiktionary programmatically. Is there a specific Wiktionary API or some sort of hacky way of doing that?
Wiktionary entries are plain wikitext. You can use the edit API to add a new entry, but you'll have to figure out how to generate the right wikitext.

With the GUI I can do a filter on a column for contains. The API does not seem to allow that. Is there anyway to do this with the api?
What I think you're looking for is the like SoQL function, which is available on Text. You'll need to make sure you're using the latest version of your dataset's API, and you can find instructions on how to locate that in the developer portal's changelog.
For example:
https://open.whitehouse.gov/resource/9j92-xfdk.json?$where=position_title like '%25ASSISTANT%25'
I would like to create a Map by the excel sheet values (.csv files too).
By using FusionTableLayer API, I think it is possible. At first step we could upload the excel values to the database. Then we create a map by the database annotated value. It is very good idea. This is what I wanted. But One thing is problem to me with FusionTableLayer API is google's Drive has been pointed for the fusion table. It means that all my business data will be shared with google. I don't want to be like that.
Instead of Google's drive My database has to be pointed out. From my database I would like to create a map with FusionTableLayer API. I have been searching through internet, I dont find this is possible. But I believe that it is possible. Please guile me to specify the way to trigger it out ?

If you want to use your own database, then you cannot use the Fusion Table API as it's meant for the Google Infrastructure. You will have to find another API to take care of this.
One workaround I can suggest to you is to parse points you have as drawing objects for your map. So for each point, create new google.maps.Marker with the respective coordinates. Each region can be denoted with google.maps.Polygon, and lines with google.maps.Polyline. There's plenty more you can do, but it's just a bit more work, and possibly less secure depending on your implementation. Furthermore, you can also add info windows to each of those areas using the Google Maps API by attaching respective listeners to those objects created.
Hope this helps!
The drive SDK has includeSubscribed for drive.changes.list. Is there an equivalent in Documents List ?
There is no equivalent according to my current knowledge.
I can get place details from Google places API when I know the reference by using:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?reference=CmRYAAAAciqGsTRX1mXRvuXSH2ErwW-jCINE1aLiwP64MCWDN5vkXvXoQGPKldMfmdGyqWSpm7BEYCgDm-iv7Kc2PF7QA7brMAwBbAcqMr5i1f4PwTpaovIZjysCEZTry8Ez30wpEhCNCXpynextCld2EBsDkRKsGhSLayuRyFsex6JA6NPh9dyupoTH3g&sensor=true&key=API_KEY_HERE
However, I want to get the same information by using the ID instead. So the same place in the query above would be something like:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?id=4f89212bf76dde31f092cfc14d7506555d85b5c7&sensor=true&key=API_KEY_HERE
Is such a thing possible?
This will be part of a search filter I'm building, part of which is location. My search parameters are passed to the url, so I plan to do the same with the selected location from the places autocomplete. Using id is much shorter than reference, so more suitable for the querystring. Unless there is a better way to do it?
You can search Place data by PlaceID
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid=ChIJF7QkuDsDLz4R0rJ4SsxFl9w&key=YOUR_KEY
It is now possible to fetch place data by placeId:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/place-details
It is not possible to get a place details with id, you do need to use the reference.
as specifically mentioned in the bottom of this link - http://goo.gl/KFDbl
Apparently both the id and reference are deprecated anyway.
From the Google Places Autocomplete Docs (Aug 2014):
"Note: The id and reference fields are deprecated as of June 24, 2014. They are replaced by the new place ID, a unique identifier that can be used to compare places and to retrieve information about a place. The Places API currently returns a place_id in all responses, and accepts a placeid in the Place Details and Place Delete requests. Soon after June 24, 2015, the API will stop returning the id and reference fields in responses. Some time later, the API will no longer accept the reference in requests. We recommend that you update your code to use the new place ID instead of id and reference as soon as possible. "

What I've done so far: made a fusion table that includes some categories that I'd like users to be able to filter results by (filters include locations and types).
My question: How do I that?
You should look into this template/tool: http://derekeder.com/searchable_map_template/.
It's pretty well made template for setting up a searchable and filterable map with listings. It's fairly well documented on how to install and where to put the filter code, but if you get stuck it has an active Google Group for those that have questions.
*I would have made this a comment and not an answer since I'm just pointing you to another resource, but my rep isn't high enough yet.
Step 1) Make Fusion Table
Step 2) Use this website: http://fusion-tables-api-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/FusionTablesLayerWizard/src/index.html
