I am using SDM API to control/monitor my Nest/Google devices, but with the new Floodlight Camera I purchased, I do not see the floodlight control as an exposed option; only motion and person events. Anyone have an in with the Google Devs to find out if this is going to be an option?

I'm using the google Calendar API to create events, with Google Meets enabled. Looking at the docs, i'm not seeing a way to enable attendance tracking via the API and wondering if anyone has been able to figure that out. They are enabled on the enterprise org, but seems they have to be manually enabled via the GUI for each meeting, and when I pull the event info via the Calendar API, there does not seem to be any indication that attendance tracking is enabled.
We couldn't find any code on Google Analytics Developers about how to enable Advertising Features for acccountId. Is it possible to make such request using API? If this isn't possible then gapi.client.analytics.management.remarketingAudience.insert({ seems pretty useless because you still need to do it manually. Any solution?
The API you mentioned is to create an audience segment.
You can't enable advertising features with API. You can enable it in Google Analytics interface or modifying code (in page or in GTM).
We need to track some server-side events given that some of the activity done by our users is offline over the phone and send these events over to multiple tracking tools and ad networks to stop or intensify remarketing budget.
We have been reading about Google Analytics Measurement Protocol But this only fixes the issue for GA and other Google products (Google Ads), but it won't fix the issue for other networks (Facebook Ads, AdRoll, Outbrain, etc)
What I think would solve the issue is having these events pushed into Google Tag Manager, and collected by triggers and variables that would shoot out the right tags. This setup would allow our marketing team to stay in control of notifying the desired ad network to take action.
While it might be technically feasible I think making GTM work on server side would be a huge hack. Google Tag Manager is used to manage JavaScript and HTML tags and does not provide any server side API (apart from REST Api used to mange your accounts and containers).
The reason why I think it is technically feasible is this: GTM injects scripts to your website and relies on window component and events that do not exist on the server side. Therefore you would have to spin up some client on your server (like Electron) to make it work and then feed events to the client. You can try doing this for fun but I would not advise doing this for any commercial server.
We provide an iframe-based embeddable widget to our clients and want to be able to send their Google Analytics account events based on what is happening inside our iframe. We used to be able to do this using the old ga.js with the following code:
_gaq.push(['NAMESPACE._setAccount', CUSTOMER_GA_ACCOUNT_ID]);
_gaq.push(['NAMESPACE._setDomainName', CUSTOMER_DOMAIN]);
_gaq.push(['NAMESPACE._trackEvent',"category", "event", "label"]);
This code would be fired inside our iframe, but would result in an event being pushed to the customer's google analytics account, letting them have some insight into customer behavior inside our embeddable widget. The NAMESPACE in front of the actions would keep these events separate from our GA stuff, and would prevent our GA stuff from going to their GA account. They would provide us with their Google Analytics account ID when they wanted to enable this feature.
Is there a way to do something similar with the new Universal Analytics API?
I don't seem to see a similar way to namespace actions and the cross-domain tracking documentation doesn't indicate how to send events/pageviews to two domains/GA accounts (ie we want to track pageviews on our GA account, and send the events to our customer's GA account).
I suggest going the roundabout way - set a pixel in your widget and make the actual endpoint for that pixel a script on your server that sends the data via the measurement protocol to your clients analytics account.
My scenario is the following: We currently own an online rental marketplace that uses peer to peer bookings just like Airbnb. This means each user has a calendar for their property.We have a Vaway calendar for the bookings on our site however are wanting to integrate google calendar so we can be able to 2 way sync/asynchronous all the Ical calendars to each other from our partner sites who support it.
After much research I have tested my personal google calendar to see how the iCal works and it seems to work perfectly so we decided this architecture would need to be implemented on a much larger scale. This would be used in all new users signups to give our users an all in one calendar that syncs all our Partner sites into one completely synced google calendar for their listing. This basically allows a user who has their listing on 7 different platforms to sync to one calendar showing availability for them to keep track of inside Vaway account.
The google calendar would be completely separate from our Vaway calendar specifically to allow our users to sync all their property bookings from other sites into one integrated calendar.. The problem when reading about google calendar API is it requires OAuth 2.0 which is required user sign in from their existing google account (Calendar, Gmail...etc). Many of our users and new signups will not have google accounts and we do not want them to have to go through a google signup process to log into their calendar. Is there any way around OAuth 2.0? We really just need the functionality of the google calendar and its syncing capabilities inside our dashboard to give read write permission and sync back and forth 2 way with other calendars on other platforms.
With all of the features the google calendar has it seems to be perfect for what we are doing when testing. Each user that signs up with us will have google calendar in their Vaway dashboard provided by vaway however they will manage their own google calendar inside the Vaway platform for their property bookings. All calendars events/bookings would be public to allow the Ical syncing option to push through.
We do not want the users accessing this calendar outside of the platform because the pulls them away from the site. I'm not sure what solution would best suit this business model and am totally at my wits end here after researching. We are trying to keep our overhead low so google apps marketplace is not an option.
You really should reformulate your question, because it's really hard to read and understand right now.
But if I really get your question, you want to enable managing google calendar from a personal application without the end user having to log to any google personal account.
If this is clearly what you want to do, I suggest you to have a look to Service Account with OAuth2.0.
(See here : https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2#serviceaccount)
It will provide a service account for your application, from which you will be able to handle calendars for your app.
And here you will find a sample showing how to do it with Java. (https://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/wiki/OAuth2#Service_Accounts)
