V2 documentation errors? - box-api

I am working on an application that will be using the V2 Box API and have noticed that for some calls the response I get from the API differs from the documentation.
How do you want me to handle what I find?
Do you want me to post these points as individual topics here?
Or is there another way to provide the feedback?

You can send any documentation errors you find to API[at]BOXdotCOM.

SEMRush API Call for keyword intent of specific URL

I'm trying to use the SEMrush API to get the Amount of keywords that fit specific intents, From this API call I will take the code into python and so forth. However I'm struggling to find the API call that allows me to call an exact page and not the domain one. Thanks in advance. For example in the call below its gives the results for https://www.topmobilecasino.co.uk/ and not https://www.topmobilecasino.co.uk/best-casino-sites/
So far I have
https://api.semrush.com/?type=domain_rank&key=YOURKEY&export_columns=Dn,Ip0,Ip1,Ip2,Ip3&domain=https://www.topmobilecasino.co.uk/best-casino-sites/&database=us
Any help will be greatly appreciated. The website Docs for this Api is

Vimeo player restful api documentation

I am looking at a dart library that hits a specific vimeo url...
https://player.vimeo.com/video/{videoId}/config
Hitting this url returns a json file with a lot of fields. I am trying to find any docs that give a description of all of these fields. I have been unable to do so at this point.
When I got to the Vimeo API reference, it refers to language specific apis like the python api or the javascript api, not the restful api (or at least the portion I am looking for).
Does anyone know how to find docs that refer to the json returned from the previously listed URL?
I think you want to go to the API reference docs:
https://developer.vimeo.com/api/reference/videos#search_videos
On that page you can scroll down and review the Response (there are three areas to click: Details, Example and Reference). You want reference.

how can I get congestion information from google maps APIs

For my project I need to extract congestion information through a route obtained from Google's map API. I went through Google's Direction API, it just provides information regarding the estimated time of travel through that route. Please Help. Thank You in advance.
I believe currently there is no any endpoint to get this information from Google. You might be interested in the following feature request that I can see in Google issue tracker:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/65322481
Please star this feature request and add a comment that explains your use case.
UPDATE
It looks like the feature request mentioned above was rejected by Google (I assume this is also a reason for downvote).
There is another feature request for real-time traffic data for a particular route on maps
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36537583
The latter is still valid and marked as Assigned and Neat Idea.
Please star the feature request everybody who is interested in it.

How to use the Washington, DC Metro API

I've been researching how I can take the transit info API that The Washington DC Metro Rail offers, and display it as HTML.
The documentation is on their website, but It does not include many examples. The only instructions I've found is to use one of three URLs.
I have figured out how to see the information using the below code. The problem is that the URLs below are generating all data as text only in my browser. I cannot figure out how to display selected data as HTML.
from their site:
Each method has 2 endpoints: REST and JSON.
URL (REST) example:
api.wmata.com/StationPrediction.svc/GetPrediction/A10?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
URL (JSON) example:
api.wmata.com/StationPrediction.svc/json/GetPrediction/A10?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
Additionally, developers can use JSONP if desired by adding a
"callback" parameter to the JSON call:
http://[url to JSON service]?api_key=[your_key]&callback=[name of
callback]
When using JSONP make sure that [name of callback] in the URL
displayed above is the name of a Javascript function needed to process
the JSON data.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a tutorial or best way to get started?
Thanks!
You should try the WMATA interactive documentation.
http://developer.wmata.com/io-docs
If you've already registered for a key, just sign in, and your API key will be automatically populated into the interactive docs. The I/O Docs interface should help you easily navigate the resources/methods. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask here, and I can help you out.

Google Maps API V3 Store Locator

I'm trying to create a store locator for my work. I've seen this done before using Google Maps API V2, but have not seen a good example using V3.
Here's a mockup of what I'm aiming to get working: http://imgur.com/eKMwo
I think it's a pretty simple concept, but what I'm having trouble getting to work is the parts pertaining to the stores themselves.
Does anyone know of any examples, tutorials or demos of something similar to the image linked above?
Edit: This related question may help you debug when making a store locator: Google Maps API - geocode() doesn't return lat and long
The V3 API for a store locator is horrible!
I used this and many functions weren't defined.
Everything was going fine for me until I got to the XML parsing, then Google's API started breaking on me. Absolutely deplorable, IMHO.
Actually, there is a V3 version of this article.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlsearch_v3.html
I followed this documentation for creating a store locator: http://storelocator.googlecode.com/git/index.html
I used the Google Code one (maybe that's the one you already saw)..
http://code.google.com/intl/sv-SE/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlsearch.html
Granted it's for API V2 but its actually very easy updating it to API V3.. Just have look at he API V3 reference when in doubt..
http://code.google.com/intl/sv-SE/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html
I use this this API as it makes it real simple, can do a store locator in couple of hours
