I've been looking through the different threads on the Facebook Graph API and displaying the results via JSON. The examples are great but I only want to output the info for a particular album not loop through various results.
Here is a link to the Coca-Cola Wall Photos album. https://graph.facebook.com/99394368305
What I would like to do is display the Name of the Album and the Link.
Any help is much appreciated!
You can choose only the fields you want by specifying the fields query parameter:
https://graph.facebook.com/99394368305/?fields=name,link
From http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/#reading:
Selection
By default, most object properties are returned when you make a query. You can choose the fields (or connections) you want returned with the "fields" query parameter. For example, this URL will only return the id, name, and picture of Ben: https://graph.facebook.com/bgolub?fields=id,name,picture
You can also request multiple objects in a single query using the "ids" query parameter. For example, the URL https://graph.facebook.com?ids=arjun,vernal returns both profiles in the same response.

I am still learning about API fetching. I want to get a list of values instead of just one value.
I am currently calling this API https://www.omdbapi.com that returns a movie based off the name or id:
http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=nameOfMovie
When calling that url with something like 'batman' it returns one json value of one of the batman movies. How would I be able to fetch a list? Or would that be entirely up to the people who run the API?
I am doing an HTTP GET request to /maximo/oslc/os/mxsr and using the oslc.select query string parameter to choose:
*,doclinks{*},worklog{*},rel.commlog{*},rel.woactivity{*,rel.woactivity{*}}
This lets me get related data, including related worklogs, but the worklog does not include the 'description_longdescription' field.
The only way I seem to be able to get that field is if I do a separate HTTP GET to query a worklog id directly through /maxrest/rest/mbo/worklog . Then it provides the description_longdescription field.
I understand this field is stored separately through the linked longdescription table, but I was hoping to get the data through the "next gen" oslc api with one http get request.
I've tried putting in 'worklog{*,description_longdescription}', as I read somewhere that longdescription is a "non-persistent" field and must be explicitly named for inclusion, but it had no effect.
I figured out that for the /maximo/oslc/os/mxsr object in the API, I needed to reference the related MODIFYWORKLOG object through the rel.modifyworklog syntax in the oslc.select query string:
oslc.select=*,doclinks{*},rel.modifyworklog{*,description_longdescription},rel.commlog{*},rel.woactivity{*,rel.woactivity{*}}
I also had to explicitly name the non-persistent field description_longdescription for it to be included.

I am currently using the Microsoft Graph API to return data in JSON for a specific list through this URL:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{siteID}/lists/{listID}/items/{itemID}
I would like to return data for all the items in the list by iterating through the itemID which is a number like 1,2,3. Although I can do that, I don't know what number to iterate to - does anyone know the API call or the URL for getting the item count in a list. If I send a GET Request to the following URL:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{siteID}/lists/{listID}/items
I only get back 235 list item JSON objects (much less than the 1200 that actually exist in the list) so I can't read off the last json object ID as the count.
I can do a while loop till I get an 'id doesn't exist error' but there are some items that are being regularly deleted hence I may encounter the same error there as well.
It can retrieve only few items when sending the API query (100-200) items. So try to use the $top query parameter
Using top query parameter. You are able to retrieve maximum 3000 items using Graph API
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{siteID}/lists/{listID}/items?$top=3000

I am using the extension library's rest control to provide a json data feed. Is it possible to filter by a category or a field with a URL parameter?
I understand that I can use a search string "&search=something" but that can provide me with erroneous results. I have tried searching for a field equal to some value but that doesn't seem to work for me.
If I cannot do this with the rest control, is it possible with Domino Data Services?
You can filter by a category or field value in a viewJsonService if you add ?keys=yourValue to URL.
The REST service returns the same documents as you would get with view.getAllDocumentsByKey("yourValue").
Default is non-exact-match filtering which means that only the beginning of column value has to match. If you want the exact match then add &keysexactmatch=true to URL which would be the equivalent to view.getAllDocumentsByKey("yourValue", true).
Example:
Assuming, we have a view "Forms" with a first sorted column "Form".
With the REST service
<xe:restService
id="restService1"
pathInfo="DocsByForm">
<xe:this.service>
<xe:viewJsonService
viewName="Forms"
defaultColumns="true">
</xe:viewJsonService>
</xe:this.service>
</xe:restService>
and the URL
http://server/database.nsf/RestServices.xsp/DocsByForm?keys=Memo&keysexactmatch=true
we'd get all documents with Form="Memo" as JSON
[
{
"#entryid":"7-D5029CB83351A9A6C1257D820031E927",
"#unid":"D5029CB83351A9A6C1257D820031E927",
"#noteid":"11DA",
"#position":"7",
"#siblings":14,
"#form":"Memo",
"Form":"Memo",
... other columns ...
},
... other documents
]
We'd get the same result if the first column is categorized.
I am looking for a way to get the Prices and Titles of products using the Amazon's API Operation -> ItemSearch.
So far, I can get the Price using the ResponseGroup -> Offers.
1) Is there any way to get a product title without the API, using the ASIN? For example some kind of url amazon.com/titles/id
2) If not, how can I get the Title without increesing the filesize of the xml returned too much?
1) According to the ASIN wikipedia page, the shortest format URL you can create would be http://amzn.com/ASIN with 'ASIN' being the actual number. If you wanted to parse the HTML returned from a link to find the title, that is another possible option.
2) Add the ItemAttributes response group; you can comma-delimit response groups too so ResponseGroup -> Offers,ItemAttributes is what I'd suggest.
And if ItemAttributes increases filesize too dramatically, you can find a list of valid response groups on the ItemSearch operation page in the docs.
