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 am making the autocomplete API request like this.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/queryautocomplete/json&key=mykey&input=ko
This is working fine. But how can we restrict the results to one country?
I tried to pass in country restriction using components as mentioned in docs like below.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/queryautocomplete/json&key=mykey&input=ko&components=country:fr . But it's still returning all countries. Could someone tell me the correct way to do this?
Components are available for the Place Autocomplete method (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/autocomplete) but not for the Query Autocomplete method (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/query).
The parameter you are providing is getting ignored.
I am trying to show the issue ids corresponding to all the issues that are present in a drawing file. Currently, the issue ids are shown only when the issue is clicked. Is there a way to achieve the same using Forge development?
Yes, you can list issue IDs attached to a specific document using Forge APIs like so:
Use Data Management APIs to find the URN of a specific version of your document
the URN should start with something like urn:adsk.wipprod:dm.lineage:
Use BIM360 APIs to list all issues available in your BIM360 project, and if needed, filter them based on their target_urn property with the URN you found in the previous step
Google just introduced a new feature in Google Drive SDK which is the ability to set properties to files, as key/value pairs.
According to the blog post on Google Developers blog we can use these properties as searchable fields. However I cannot see in the documentation how to search for files using these properties.
For example: retrieve all files where property A has the value X.
I know the feature is brand new but I could really make use of this in my current project. Have I missed anything ?
Well I find, its possible to search on drive based on properties param.
Check doc. https://developers.google.com/drive/web/search-parameters
Code Snippet :
resp = newDriveService.files().list(q="properties has { key='customKeyA' and value='customKeyAValue2' and visibility='PUBLIC' }").execute()
Note : you have to specify all 3 params viz. key, value and visibility while searching. If you don't use it will throw Invalid Params exception.
Unfortunately, we don't currently support this. This is currently a high priority for Google and they are working on it. Stay tuned.
I have seen the two forms of reference to the Google Places Library/Service, using JavaScript vs calling the API directly, a number of times, but I don't understand the difference. The Google Docs don't describe anything about two methods of accessing the API.
For example, this question talks about 2 ways of accessing the API: OVER_QUERY_LIMIT in a loop
And it appears that there is some type of direct web access taking place in this question: Querying Google Places API using jQuery
Is this something where there was an old way that involved formatting URL parameters and the new way is by utilizing the JavaScript library calls?
FINAL SUMMARY EDIT: There are two distinct ways of requesting data from Google, as described in #Dan Nissenbaum's answer below. And since my original question, the QUERY_LIMIT question referenced above has been edited to also include more information about the two options.
Perhaps you are referring to the distinction between the Google Places API that is intended for use on the SERVER (i.e., utilizing PHP to call the Google Places API directly), and using the completely different approach of the Google Places Javascript Library in which the BROWSER executes Javascript using the Javascript library provided by Google (that internally wraps calls to the Google Places API, so that you, as a Javascript programmer, only need to understand the Javascript library provided by Google, and use that)?
Here are the two scenarios.
Scenario #1: Use the API directly. For this method, you must refer to Google's API documentation for the Google Places API: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/.
Using this API works as follows (giving a simple example only). Say you want to retrieve places within 1000 meters of latitude=-27.2531166, longitude=138.8655664. You need to hit a URL as described by the API documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/#PlaceSearchRequests.
In this example, the URL looks like this (it's long):
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=-27.2531166,138.8655664&radius=1000&sensor=false&key=AddYourOwnKeyHere
You need a key for your personal use, which I assume you have. There are other options you can specify, such as limiting the results to restaurants, etc.
When you hit this URL, the data will be returned in either JSON, or XML format, as specified by the text json in the URL above (use the text xml for xml). This data is returned exactly like data is returned from any URL call when you hit a URL in your browser.
You can test this by simply typing the URL directly in your browser, and see the results.
To use the API directly from code, you will need to use code that hits the external URL above within code and retrieves the results within code (for example, using the PHP CURL library, or using AJAX in Javascript).
Scenario #2: You use the Javascript library that Google provides that wraps the API, so you don't need to deal with it. I'll update the answer with more details about this, if you don't know what this is.
The docs do discuss the two different approaches. The Places Library utilizes the Google Places services from within the JavaScript Google Maps API. If you are using the Google Maps API in a browser, this is probably the approach for you:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places
There is also a web service, which allows you to query directly from your application. You query it using direct http calls to Google services. If you need access to the data on your server or a mobile device, this is the approach you want to take:

I am doing some web mining tasks using Google.
Though using the ordinary Google search engine might help, I still need to analyse the web pages.
I want to ask:
Does Google provide query results in JSON form?
PS:
I know one place,Google Custom Search, but the query amount for free user is limited, which can not satisfy my need.
So, anyone know other solutions?
Google does not provide search results in JSON format unless you use the custom search API.
A 'Bing search engine' query can be run through a Yahoo Pipe and posted out as JSON.
