I'm trying to get an rss feed of a list of tweets with a given hashtag, including the images that may be attached to the tweets.
I've used several different scripts out there, but none include the media_url entity that I believe I need, according to twitter's docs on API entities. They do include other necessary things like author, tweet description, author profile pic, etc.
I've used labnol's script, no luck.
I'm currently using Twitter-RSS-Parser, which doesn't give me an image link either.
I'm not very familiar with any of the actual coding, just trying to piece together other people's findings.
Is there a way to edit either of these scripts to provide a link to the image attached to each tweet, or any other script out there that already does this?
Thanks!
Those labnol scripts will need the following parameter added to them &include_entities=true
That will ensure that Tweets which have photos will have their entity meta data returned.
I ended up using tweedledee (can't find a link anymore!) scripts, which allow for specific queries and output in JSON. From there I was able to format the JSON data as needed.

I want to extract the pages mentioned in the infobox and templates of pages.
E.g. From this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA
I want to extract all of the links in the infobox, like: "Genetics", "Introduction to Genetics" etc.
I want to do it, by using the sql dumps, possibly avoiding to parse the xml of whole pages, and I don't want to do it with APIs.
I could not find a way.
While Pagelinks does include also the links of infoboxes, I cannot find a way to exclude them.
I thought Templatelinks may have that info, but it is not: I could not find the pageids of the corresponding links in infoboxes.
Where is this information stored?
Or which kind of tables should I look at?
I consulted previous questions:
where can I find the infobox templates used in wiki?
and Mediawiki reference:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Templatelinks_table#Schema_summary
but could not find a solution.
That is a sidebar rather than an infobox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Genetics_sidebar
I don't think there's a way of doing it other than parsing the content of the template to extract the links or using the API: e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&titles=Template:Genetics%20sidebar&pllimit=100&plnamespace=0
Something like this should also work but it's not returning any results for me:
SELECT * from pagelinks
where pl_title = 'Genetics_sidebar'
and pl_namespace = 0
and pl_from_namespace = 10

I'm creating a VCL Application with Delpi 10.3 and want to support some web functionality by having the user enter the ISBN of a book into a TEdit component and from there passing/sending this value to a search field on this website: https://isbnsearch.org after which the website looks up the ISBN and displays the Author of the book. I want to somehow access the information (i.e Author) presented by the search result and again use it in my application.
This is my GUI, for a better idea of what I want to accomplish:
What code can I use for this? Any other feasible suggestions or approaches are acceptable.
When performing a search on that website, it simply loads a page with a specific URL query string...
https://isbnsearch.org/search?s=suess
The above example is when I search for "suess", so you can easily concatenate a search URL.
You can use any HTTP component, such as TIdHTTP, to load this search page, then use an HTML parser to scrape the page and read what you need. Much, much easier than trying to read through the TWebBrowser.
In the end, you won't actually display the HTML (I mean you can if you want to), but the idea is to read the data and display it in your own format.
On that specific page, start by locating the ul element with id searchresults. Then, each li element contains individual results. Unfortunately, this website uses pagination, and only shows 10 results per page. To do this, call this page again with another parameter &p=2 for the 2nd page, &p=3 for the 3rd page, and so on.
On the other hand, that is the worst way to acquire such information. What you should be doing is using a proper API which gives you machine-friendly data. The service you are referencing doesn't appear to have an option, but here's an example of one which does:
https://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/books - this also appears to provide you MUCH more information than the one you're using.
I want to download the template source used in a wikipedia page (basically for generating the display text of a key). SO i am basically want this info
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox%20cricketer&action=edit
for Template:Infobox cricketer
I have found an api for wikipedia called Template data
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TemplateData
But the examples given:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=templatedata&titles=Template:Stub
does not seem to work.
I think you misunderstood what Extension:TemplateData is for. It's for getting metadata about a template, which only works if that template provides those metadata.
If what you want the text of the template, you should use prop=revisions&rvprop=content, for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Template:Infobox%20cricketer&prop=revisions&rvprop=content
So If I post a status update on Facebook with a photo (public), I want to use Graph Search api to find it.
Here is the link I've been using:
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=%23tacomaevent&type=post
I am hoping to be able to use the hashtag such as #tacomaevent so I can search for public text and picture post.
Thanks for your help.
I know this is an old question and would like to point out that, as of now, the search you proposed returns a JSON string containing a list of Facebook Post objects, which may have a property named picture. This property will contain an URL of the picture if one is available.
It has many other properties and they're documented here.
I have looked at the readability api which is useful to display data in a clean format on a html webpage. I am passing a Url to http://www.readability.com/read?url= to display the data. I am initially directed to a page where I can choose to view the info using readability is there any way I can directly view the content in a neat fashion without going through the actual re-direct?
take a look at Readability's API: http://www.readability.com/developers/api
Before you implement your code, you have to create an API Key on their website.
