I'm trying to build an application that allows users to look up a specific university and see data about it (admission rate, SAT scores, size, etc.). However, I can't find an API/database that I can use as it doesn't seem like they have a REST API that's accessible via a GET URL request.I saw so many apps having all this information, but I can't find any relevant API.
Does anyone know a way I could access this information? Thanks!
Just figured it out. Turns out you can use the IPEDS database to get this info, but it doesn't offer an API to do it. Go to IPEDS and create a group of institutions you want (ex. all 4-year, degree granting universities in the United States), select what variables you want (address, admission rate, etc.), then finally export the data in CSV. If you want the data in a less terrible format, just convert it to JSON or whatever you'd like.
An extensive collection of data in json, csv, pdf, and other formats is at:
http://www.ed.gov/developer
One funny thing: if you take one of their download links:
https://inventory.data.gov/dataset/032e19b4-5a90-41dc-83ff-6e4cd234f565/resource/38625c3d-5388-4c16-a30f-d105432553a4/download/userssharedsdfpostscndryunivsrvy2010dirinfo.csv
and you change the .csv to .json, you still get a csv file.

I've a project where employees would have to report using the app so basically there will be following features in app login, reporting and only view the products of the company through app.
Now, the problem is that I need to import loads of employee data and that's where I am getting confused because I know how to import data from CSV files to SQL DB but I don't have any idea about how to do the same in firebase.
Also I couldn't figure out the pricing difference between both which one would be more feasible in terms of price ?
If possible please try to generalize the answer in two parts :
Pricing
Ease of use on basis of functionality provided by respective packages at pub.dev
So guys, which DB shall I use for it ? SQL or firebase as per my requirement ?
It would be really helpful of y'all if anyone can guide me through some insightful links to blogs or articles which can guide me in setting up a proper backend for my flutter app.
Thanks !
Using firebase would reduce a lots of hard work, using firebase you can continuously listen to changes made in the database because it provides you a stream of data and subscribing would refresh your data in the UI automatically, futther more its price is reasonale and you can pay as much as you use.
But as per your requirement you should use SQL, because storing employee data in a RDB is much more maintainable than firebase or any other NoSQL db.

I have a large Json log file which contain result of a web service call. now I need to search inside it and find some element with multiple condition.
is there any tool for making query and administration On json log file?
First open the file in an editor to understand its structure. If the file is huge, as you write, browse it page-by-page with a command such as more or less.
Then use jq to obtain the data that interests you. Start by extracting some top-level elements to get the hang of the process and then gradually refine your invocation to what you actually want to obtain.
The jq tutorial has many invocation examples. You can also see a specific use case in a blog post I wrote on recovering Firefox session data from the browser's json session file.

I'm looking for a CMS that just outputs JSON data.
I've done some research and found a few possibilities.
But all the 'API based' CMS I found were hosted in the cloud.
A few examples that are exactly what I want.. but in the cloud:
https://www.contentful.com
https://prismic.io
https://buttercms.com
https://www.cloudcms.com
I'm looking for a CMS with functionality like this but hosted myself.
Requirements for the CMS I'm looking for:
A user can add/update data in the CMS
Can create a custom object template in the CMS. For example: an object with a title, rating, image, short intro and a full text
I can request a URL and I get a JSON output with the data
I only need to GET content no to add new data. (not a problem if this is also possible to :)
Thanks for your time.
You can try my framework,
admin: http://123.bl.ee/cms/objengine/admin.php?userid=cms.sa
pass: tim
Admin user can define custom object, regular user can add/update/delete data.
JSON output:
http://123.bl.ee/cms/objengine/ajax.php?objectname=ExampleObject

I need XSD unloaded into CSV file to build a mapping doc. The CSV is a list of all tags defined in XSD, in format path,type,cardinality. Something like:
tag1/tag2/tag3,E,0..n
tag1/tag2/tag3#attr1,A,0..n
tag1/tag2/tag4,E,1..1
XSD may import schemas. Is there a tool to accomplish this task? Thanks.
I've posted a possible solution here. If it is something you're willing to try, then download the tool and the sample files; please follow the document for step by step guidance. If you run into any issues, send me an email using the contact info (support) on the web site.
The cardinality problem, again, is very tricky. The sample I've prepared for you (all the download links are in the document) is one of the test cases I was using, except that I had to come up with a specific template for your file layout. One issue that seems to be subject to debate is how to calculate the value for XPaths that, from an XML Schema perspective, traverse choice compositors. Another, not so controversial maybe, is how to calculate the cardinality for particles under repeating compositors, etc.

I am looking for a corpus of text to run some trial fulltext style data searches across. Either something I can download, or a system that generates it. Something a bit more random would be better e.g. 1,000,000 wikipedia articles in a format easy to insert into a 2 column database (id, text).
Any ideas or suggestions?
Project Gutenberg has 32000 books available.
Edit:
As of now (17.06.16) there are 52,284 free ebooks to download as plain text file in UTF-8 in a wide variety of topics (From science to religion).
Also in formats EPUB, Kindle or html format.
Check here Project Gutenberg
Why not use a Wikipedia dump?
I'll throw this out there since I'm familiar with it - Prosper.com makes their member loan listings available for analysis through an XML export. The export would have about 50,000 loan requests with descriptions and over 1,000,000 member profiles (although many of those are empty).
