I have a form on my website which forwards the textbox input to www.google.com/search?q=.... Is there any possibility to get this autocomplete / autofill features google provides when searching over google.com. Firefox uses google's autocomplete function in the search bar next to the url bar, but how can I get this kind of information for my web form?
There was the Google Suggest API that allowed to use autocomplete on custom keywords. But it seems google has removed it. But I found out that you can still access the API. There are URLs for JSON and XML.
JSON
http://clients1.google.com/complete/search?hl=en&q=<your query here>&client=hp
XML
http://clients1.google.com/complete/search?hl=en&q=<your query here>&output=toolbar
Without any warranty.
If you want to get autocomplete on a text box. You can combine that with jQuery UI Autocomplete
Here an complete example with google auto suggest
http://googlesuggest-jquery.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
The new url is:
http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q=YOURQUERY
the client part is required; I did't test other clients.
In addition to RickyA´s answer you can filter the suggestion by media using bs parameter:
http://clients1.google.com/complete/search?hl=en&q=stackoverflow&output=toolbar&ds=
youtube: ds=yt
books: ds=bo
products: ds=sh
news: ds=n
images: ds=i
web: ds=
recipes: ds=r

I want to import data from a table from the following page:
https://basketballmonster.com/playerrankings.aspx
When I do so, with all players filter selected, only the top players are imported to my googlesheet. Can someone help me achieve this? Appreciation in advance.
I attached the googlesheet below for your review:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uvhNp6gBnnEvs8CBb4K7onccew_doFp96wmFEsYyLBk/edit?usp=sharing
Google Sheets can't know what your browser has, so it doesn't know whether you selected which filter. You have to get the same html for Sheets that you have displayed in your browser, which means adding the filter in your query.
Since it looks like the controls aren't passed as parameters in a GET request, sadly it's not as simple as appending
?PlayerFilterControl=TopPlayers to the url.
You have to POST it as a payload with a post request like
{ 'PlayerFilterControl': 'AllPlayers'}.
Sadly Google Sheets IMPORTHTML() doesn't support post request yet, so you'll have to get into apps scripts, request and xml parsing.
I suggest you check out these:
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/url-fetch/url-fetch-app
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/xml-service
I have a list of web domains and would like to check if they are built to be mobile-responsive. A fairly sure way to check this manually is to see if there are "#media" queries in the style.css.
I've used XPATH (IMPORTXML) previously to bulk-check for strings on webpages, but I don't see an obvious way of importing the css files in bulk and search for a string within them. Is there a way to do this? Ideally, I'd like to accomplish it in Google Sheets or with Google Apps Script.
Thank you!
You can use Google's Mobile-Friendly Test if you want to use a GUI.
If you want to use a REST API, try this (replace url parameter for what you want to test):
https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v3beta1/mobileReady?url=http://facebook.com
This will return a JSON object. It will return lots of useful info, but if you are just looking for mobile friendliness, look for the true or false result here:
"ruleGroups": {
"USABILITY": {
"pass": true
}
Hope that helps!
I already registered my project with Google to get an API_KEY.
I already enable the Google MAP API in the API console. See here
I already set the referred to my JSFiddle Account.
[ http://jsfiddle.net/bheng/* ]
Here the link LINK
I am not sure why, it didn't load the map while it should.
What am I doing wrong ?
You are not including the Google Maps Javascript API. Note that you don't need a key (particularly for jsfiddle). Add this to the "External Resources":
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js
And add JQuery under "Frameworks & Extensions":
http://jsfiddle.net/9wc30ndf/2/
But you need to read the message also (you are missing the "q=")
http://jsfiddle.net/9wc30ndf/3/
You need to use *fiddle.jshell.net/bheng/* as the referrer expression for your browser-API-key since jsfiddle loads the JS sources from this domain (see referer request-header).
Is there a url I can use the search for 'foo' on YouTube, and return JSON with a list of videos?
As their API docs clearly state, just add ?alt=json:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=foo&alt=json
The YouTube JSON API Page can help you out.
Some research on the API Page points out that http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=foo&alt=json is all you need...
On latest update:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=SEARCHPARAMATER&maxResults=25&key=key
By using this URL you will be able to give the search parameter and get the desired JSON.
I wanted to include Google maps in a module of OpenERP. As far as I know until I use iframe tag of HTML I wont be able to show Google maps in OpenERP but in OpenERP I have only two kinds of file one is .xml and other is .py. Now how am I supposed to add iframe with only these two file in hand. Any ideas ?
Thank you
There is module called google_map in openerp addons. Install that module to get the google map inside openerp and if needed make the necessary changes by creating your own custom module
In the 2012 OpenERP Days one of the presentations demonstrated how to craete a custom Webclient widget. The example used was a geo widget that could display and address as a Google Map indide a froam view. The code is available here.
You can try out Camptocamp's geoengine addon. This addon is meant to display data from the OpenERP database in a custom view using a map. It does not use an iframe to embed a googlemap, afaik.
https://launchpad.net/geospatial-addons
This is an example for openning the map in a new link where the html file which contains the html and java script code for the google map located in
static/src/googlemaps/get_place_from_coords.html
and the following method will be called when clicking the open google map button in the openerp interface:
def button_open_google(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
for place in self.browse(cr, uid, ids):
url="/tms/static/src/googlemaps/get_place_from_coords.html?" + str(place.latitude) + ','+ str(place.longitude)
return { 'type': 'ir.actions.act_url', 'url': url, 'nodestroy': True, 'target': 'new' }
