I am getting information about the track I am listening to from last.fm.. I cannot however get the information about what I am scrobbling from, like you see on you last.fm page: "scrobbling now from spotify"
Does anyone know if this is possible without scraping the user page?
I don't see anything in the API docs - could easily be missing something.
The call I am using to get the now playing track is user.getRecentTracks which you use a attribute on the first song returned (nowplaying="true") to tell if its being played now and there is nothing about what I am listening on there.
The answer is: no, Last.fm API doesn't support this feature.
The only way you can get this information is to scrap it from <div class="scrobblesource">.

at my company we want to make use of the relatively new API feature "Automerge" (not through a UI but through an API call),
However we can't seem to find any documentation of a webhook (or other asyc way) of finding out if a merge request failed and why,
anyone know a way to receive such a notification?
Thanks! :)
Hope this saves some work for someone out there,
we asked Github.com support directly and they said there was no async / webhooky way of doing this (as of Nov 2021).
Here's a quote from the support person when asked if there were a way to find out, here's what they wrote:
There wouldn't be a great way to discern that (reason for failure) and
it may be better when you see that, to use the REST API to Get the
Pull Request to get some additional information.
looking at the documentation as suggested in the quote above it seems that through the "closed" action and "merged" key one could discern whether a merge was successful or not, but without any further information about the failure.
I'm just trying to check every second this website and retrieve the answer to my request. If this answer changes I want to be informed by email.
Thanks for your help!
I found the query I was looking for with google inspector but I don't know how to retrieve it or even how to request it again in a loop
I am using AppMaker I would like to get the Chat ID of a user so I can open a chat window in a new tab to that user. However, I don't see a way to get it.
To be clear, I want the part at the end of a URL like this:
https://chat.google.com/u/0/dm/pUR6NABBAAE
For some reason this ID is different from the old Hangouts chat ID (which I get from the Person datasource).
Is there a way to do this? I have looked at the docs and searched StackOverflow but do not see anybody trying to do this.
No, there is no way to do what you want as of now.
Google is always receiving Feature Requests for their APIs so you could try submitting it there.
However, since the Hangouts API is directed at Bots and Google has a compromise to not create avenues for spammers, I doubt that will be implemented.
We need to add domains to all of our videos. But I cant find a API call to add a domain to all of the videos - only one video at a time.
Right now I am doing two steps:
https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos....
Here I get all of our videos and their IDs and a hell of lot of stuff I dont need.
Then I loop through all of the videoIDs and call
https://api.vimeo.com/videos/{videoId}/privacy/domains/{newDomain} for each video.
This results in 1200 put requests which is not good. Furthermore I am not sure if we get banned with to many requests.
Is there som APIs that I have missed which supports what I am trying to do ?
Any help is appreciated.
Instead of using the API to do this, I suggest setting the default video privacy for all your videos at https://vimeo.com/settings/videos/upload_defaults - this includes the ability to add domain privacy.
Looking through the documentation I found an option for reducing the amount of data return. By adding e.g. &fields=uri,privacy to my api calls I reduced the amount of data returned.
I still have to loop each video and do a put however the first step is a lot faster.
I'm currently trying to develop a Chrome extension which can receive notifications using GCM. When the extension is first installed, I register it using chrome.gcm.register(['my_sender_id'], function(registration_id) { console.log(registration_id); });.
I would like to send push messages to everyone who has the extension installed. However, the problem is that GCM requires you to specify the registration ID's of everyone you want to send the message to; you can't just send it to everyone who's connected to the sender ID.
While it would be possible to push the registration ID to a database when the extension is installed, and then consult this database each time I want to send a message, this solution seems sub-optimal (also from a security point of view, since the pushing of the registration ID would be done client-side).
However, Google introduced a solution for this a few years ago: topics. It's possible to simply register each device to a 'global' topic (for example) and when you then want to send a message, you only have to specify the 'global' topic as the receiver. However, I can't find how this registration process is done for Chrome extensions. I've looked everywhere, but it seems like Chrome's GCM module doesn't support this yet. Am I correct in this and if so, is there an alternative way to pull this off?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
If you call chrome.instanceID.getToken and then use the InstanceID API from your server to subscribe to a topic, it seems to work, but then the chrome extension doesn't get messages when you push to that topic, so I'm not sure if Google just needs to enable something on their side to make it work. But this is the closest I could get to it in any case.

Thanks for the great feedback. There is no way at the moment to subscribe to a topic from a browser. We're aware that having such an API would simplify the development model. We'd love to add this to Firebase, but as usual can't make any promises or commitments.
