The Socrata API provides access to dataset points as well as metadata about the datasets at large. However I didn't find any facility in their API for accessing the comments on datasets. I wanted to double-check that I'm not simply missing something or that it's not just not in the docs.
Update: the answer to this is no, unfortunately.

I am trying to build a centralized dashboard to display information from google analytics. I have researched about reporting API which helps in embedding charts directly form analytics dashboard and also on query parameters to store analytics data in local database such as MySQL. I wanted to know which would be easy to implement and which is more effective. I have more than 300 websites which are monitored on analytics through a single account, So the data is going to be huge. I t would be great if anyone could post a code snippet to access data from analytics and store it in the database. Thanks!
You can use the Google Analytics Reporting API v4, it is the updated version after Core Reporting API. The Query Explorer can help you to identify what data to extract.
There is also another alternative if you want easier data import/export. This Analytics Canvas can do the job.
For reference, see this SO post.
I would like to know if we have any specific api's in OpsCenter which would help in generating custom reports.
The use case is:
I am consolidating reports from different tools like App Dynamics,OpsCenter and others into one csv or excel sheet for which i would require any opscenter api which would allow me to do a backend call which would pull the required info for me from OpsCenter and then i can do some additional stuff and consolidate it along with other data in a csv or excel in an automated way.
Any api which would help me with backend Opscenter calls for reports data would be helpful.
The OpsCenter API is fully documented at http://docs.datastax.com/en/latest-opscenter/opsc/opscApi_g.html
If the kinds of reports you're looking to generate involve metric data, you'll be particularly interested in the new-metrics endpoint: http://docs.datastax.com/en/opscenter/6.0/api/docs/metrics.html#method-get-new-metrics
Otherwise you'll just have to wade through it to find what you're looking for. But the front-end is all driven through those api's, so anything you see in the web-interface can be replicated via the documented apis.
I am new to SAP and doesn't understand its basics. I believe that SAP allows the data access via webservices. Where can I get the list of services that allows me to access the 'users and groups' ?
Thanks
It is correct that you can access this kind of data, from a WebService.
On the BI platform, there is a REST API for this kind of operations
It is well documented in their own documentation, but you could also for a starter, take a look at my blog post her https://blogs.sap.com/2016/02/08/use-microsoft-powershell-to-manage-your-bi-platform/ and check out the example I've made in GitHub https://github.com/Verakso/BO-PowerShell
I've been going over the docs for Google Cloud Datastore. I have connected to it via a Google Apps Script and want to experiment with using it instead of GAS's built in ScriptDB which has many problems.
I can't figure out how to define a "kind" with the JSON API. It looks like I can write objects, but it is required that each object be a "kind" of a certain type. I've seen how to define them in the Google App Engine using Python, but I don't think that applies here.
As a (realtively) schemaless transactional database solution, the Cloud Datastore does not need to be told about a kind before you write an Entity of that kind. Simply construct a Entity with the desired kind in its Key's path.
See the Kinds and Identifiers documentation for examples.
Am beginner to Fusion tables Concept. I have already tried my hands on some basic features of Fusion tables SQL API and liked it. Following are some questions I have with respect to the same. Request your help in the same.
Whats the benefit of using Fusion table API for storing data and presenting it on Map via Google Maps V3 API which could other wise be done using V3 API over our own data source?
Whats the way forward on Private Fusion tables? I am worried on removing the technology altogether since its still in Beta or putting usage limitations that would limit the usage of the end application? Also can the data security be trusted.
Whats the difference between Table API and SQL API?
I can only answer question 1. I can think of several advantages which will depend on the nature of your data.
Greatly improved map display performance when dealing with thousands of markers (points, lines and polygons). Tiles are generated dynamically by Google for quick display via the Map API with no marker creation overhead
Geocoding. Addresses and/or existing KML can be used when you lack lat/lon locations
There is a fairly simple SQL like filtering mechanism via the Maps API which includes spatial queries
FT have an undocumented but extremely useful JSONP option which uses the same SQL like syntax.
