Mediawiki category infobox parameter - mediawiki

I am making a infobox template for a wiki I am working on. I want to add a publisher parameter to the infobox but I want it to also automatically categorize it.
So for example if I put in
publisher = Ocean Software
it will automatically link to Category:Ocean Software. I can see a switch function. But I don't want to have to manually make a list for every publisher, if I can help it, as that would be time consuming.
If this is a question that has been asked before I apologize. But for the life in me I can't think of what it could be called.

To reuse the value set for publisher call it again for the category. In the template add:
[[Category:{{{publisher}}}]]

How to track clicks on Links using GTM

I have an ads campaign and I don't know from where users came to my website and
How can I know which one of those links users click must
www.example.com/twitter
www.example.com/whatsapp
www.example.com/linkdIn
www.example.com/<this will be the source name>
I want to know which link users came from using GTM.
All links must open on the landing page.
Thanks.
You don't really need GTM to track click source. The GA script translates certain query parameters to traffic source dimensions automatically. Those query parameters are called UTM parameters. Here's the documentation on how they're mapped to GA data.
You can use the url builder tool to generate a url if you find it difficult to figure out the proper syntax.
Basically, you just generate a link to your landing, embedding there the information about the source and then you post the link on the said source. And you carefully do that for all sources.
Sure, GA also tracks the referrer, but TLS will eraze the query params of the referrer, so it may be much more awkward to use to determine the source, but GA already tries to parse the referrers to determine the source automatically, when no utm params are set. UTMs will override the automatic referrer logic.
Finally, GTM. GTM is powerful. It allows you to do more than that. For example, it's able to override the above described logic and set the source, medium, keyword, even referrer, using JS. Ultimately, mostly because of GTM's ability to deploy custom JS, it is possible to override any field in tracking and add extra fields.

Forge API: Get all changed items

I need to get a list of all changed items in my project in BIM 360. Can I do this using forge-api.
Ho, regarding with the latest question [If my service is not available and I will miss some webhook events, how can I get all the changes that were made after the last webhook event received] :
If your requirement is to know which items are changed in one folder of Docs, Search API with filter can be of use. e.g. the endpoint below will return all items which are updated since a certain time.
https://developer.api.autodesk.com/data/v1/projects/{{project_id_with_b}}/folders/{{one_folder_id}}/search?filter[attributes.lastModifiedTime]-ge=2019-10-15
More filters options are described at
https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/data/v2/developers_guide/filtering/
While if you wanted to know all updates in one call, I do not see currently the way is available. While, Activity API is on the way, it might be helpful to know all activities during a certain dates, then you could filter out what you are interested in and locate the corresponding module>>files/resources etc.. but Activities may probably be categorized with specific scopes e.g. admin activities, project actives, issue activities etc. so it is not one call knows all updates.. And these APIs may not be exposed in the same time.

Pass Mediawiki "wgUserName" to Google Tag Manager

I have an install of Mediawiki for my company which I have tracking page activity currently, but I also want to be able to track page activity per user.
Ideally, I'd like to pass the wgUserName into Google Tag Manager as the userid that Google Analytics sees.
How can I pass the wgUserName into the data layer from the wiki? I just need to get that into Tag Manager.
Thanks!
I don't think you'll need the data layer for this, according to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/JavaScript
You can access the config via: mw.config and the value for "wgUserName" can be found with "mw.config.get("wgUserName")"
Thus all you need to do in GTM is create a Custom JavaScript variable and reference it:

Would it be possible to scrape data from Airbnb directly into a Google Sheet?

I'm trying to build a super simple Google Sheet dashboard comparing the prices at D+7 and D+30 in real-time of specific listings/rooms that are both on Airbnb and Booking.com.
On the Booking.com side, it was super easy : I just created a formula concatenating the URL with the check-in/check-out dates, number of guests and trip duration as parameters and using the =IMPORTXML function and the proper class, I was able to automatically retrieve the price.
It is more difficult on Airbnb, as the price is dynamic(see here: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/25961741). When I use what I think is the proper class, I get a "N/A Error, Imported content is empty" on Google Sheet.
I also tried using the Airbnb API with REGEX functions to extract the price, but the price set in the listing info is a default price, and does not reflect reality:
"price":1160,"price_formatted":"$1160"
https://api.airbnb.com/v2/listings/25961741?client_id=d306zoyjsyarp7ifhu67rjxn52tv0t20&_format=v1_legacy_for_p3&number_of_guests=1
Do you now if there are any other possible way to access this dynamic price and have it automatically parsed into a spreadsheet? It seems that the data I'm looking for in within meta tags on the HTML code and I don't know if it's possible to scrape it into Google sheet using =IMPORT functions.
Maybe with of a script ?
Thanks a lot !
I'm curious if you were unable to yank direct with the ABNB API; what if you tried to directly pull off the site's service? Have a look at this URL:
https://www.airbnb.com/api/v2/explore_tabs?version=1.3.9&satori_version=1.0.7&_format=for_explore_search_web&experiences_per_grid=20&items_per_grid=18&guidebooks_per_grid=20&auto_ib=false&fetch_filters=true&has_zero_guest_treatment=false&is_guided_search=true&is_new_cards_experiment=true&luxury_pre_launch=false&query_understanding_enabled=true&show_groupings=true&supports_for_you_v3=true&timezone_offset=-240&client_session_id=8e7179a2-44ab-4cf3-8fb8-5cfcece2145d&metadata_only=false&is_standard_search=true&refinement_paths%5B%5D=%2Fhomes&selected_tab_id=home_tab&checkin=2018-09-15&checkout=2018-09-27&adults=1&children=0&infants=0&click_referer=t%3ASEE_ALL%7Csid%3A61218f59-cb20-41c0-80a1-55c51dc4f521%7Cst%3ALANDING_PAGE_MARQUEE&allow_override%5B%5D=&price_min=16&federated_search_session_id=5a07b98f-78b2-4cf9-a671-cd229548aab3&screen_size=medium&query=Paris%2C%20France&_intents=p1&key=d306zoyjsyarp7ifhu67rjxn52tv0t20&currency=USD&locale=en
This is a GET request to ABNB's live page search; now I don't know much about ABNB but I can see from the listings portion of the JSON feed it does have a few pricing factors that differ from the API results you provided; I'm not sure what you need to pull exactly but this may lead you in the right direction; check the 'Listings' array and see if there's something you can possibly use.
Keep in mind if you are looking to automate scraping this data you would want to generate new search sessions; but first you want to see if this is the type of data you're looking for.
Another option, Google CSE's API; I've pulled data in the page headers of sites as they appear in Google based on the Schema.org's tags; but this may be delayed data and it appears you need real-time; the best route would be reserach the above example or try to make sure of ABNB's natural API (they provide its functionality for a reason right?; there must be a way to get what you need).
Hope my answer helped lead you in the right direction!

Google Places API reference field

When I make an API request to Google places API one of the fields I get back is "reference".
It is not documented in the API documents. The value appears like a long hash code.
Is this versioning for the places details? For instance, does this reference stay the same until something like phone number or name is changed?
I am looking for a way to cache results. I was going to do it by date of request but if this value is for versioning of the record then it will be ideal to check against the cache.
I can't find any mention of it on developer site but value appears to be consistent so I figured this might be the case.
Does anyone know for sure one way or the other?
From the web service documentation (same is true for the Google Maps Javascript API v3):
Note: The id and reference fields are deprecated as of June 24, 2014. They are replaced by the new place ID, a textual identifier that uniquely identifies a place and can be used to retrieve information about the place. The usual deprecation period of one year has been extended, as we’re looking into ways of ensuring this change will not break existing code. We’ll update this page with a final notice at least 90 days before we change the way the API handles the id and reference fields. We recommend that you update your code to use the new place ID instead of id and reference as soon as possible.
