Is there a way to get the average number of cars per time unit on each road in a bounding-box on a map using HERE traffic API ? or na indicator of this rate ?
The final goal would be to get the info regularly, and give the option to filter and average the data over time to display the results on a map.
Thanks
This is not possible with any of the APIs currently available on our developer portal. I'm not sure this is available at all, but you can use the contact us form on the portal to enquire about our Enterprise offering around traffic.

For any given route e.g. Brooklyn, NY to Seattle, WA, I need to calculate amount of miles we drove via each state.
I have tested multiple routing APIs and non of them return anything I could use in calculation. (I testes MapQuest, google and TomTom)
I spoke to HERE.com sales rep and he told me HERE-apis return that info but after running test calls it does not look to me that this is the case.
Does anyone know how to format query on HERE-api to get info I am looking for or any other way?
HERE Routing API does not support a feature to calculate to calculate the sum of amount miles grouping by State level. But probably you can do post process for the calculation the sum of amount miles based on road network in State level.
I have a user based segment created in GA that is working as expected. However, with user based segments, one can only apply a maximum date range of 90 days to the report.
This is as per their documentation (Limits on segments): https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3123951?hl=en
Is there a workaround this? I have a use case where I would want to apply the user based segment over a date range of ~1-2 years to get a better sense on the trend over time.
If I re-create the GA report in Google Data Studio - is there a way to apply this user based segment over a longer date range?
Thanks!
No there's no option for extending 90-days reporting timeframe. The only solution is to get user-level data through the Reporting API and process them within 3rd party software. However, to do that you'll need some custom tracking implemented beforehand.
I know that the durationIntraffic is depracated now.
I just cant find a way to get the duration without traffic using google api.
already tried the matrix using DrivingOptions and trafficModel but the duration and duration_in_traffic did not match the duration without traffic in Maps.Google.com
Any help on how to get the duration without traffic data using API?

Duration gives average time and duration in Traffic gives time in traffic .sometimes you run googleApi at midnignt you will find duration in Traffic time is lesser than duration time means duration is not without traffic time.
According to this Google Maps API should return an element called duration as well as an element called duration_in_traffic. Duration will be time without traffic while duration_in_traffic is time with traffic conditions.
Just to set the correct expectations, you shouldn't expect the Web Services API and the Google Maps website to work in the exact same way. These are different products managed by different teams at Google. The search stack is also different, so results may differ.
The result you get in duration field is an approximation of the average travel time for the route. This takes into account average traffic conditions of the last several weeks for a time when you execute a request. That means that the duration can change during the day.
Applying the departure time and traffic_model you can add further information to your requests to get the travel time in the current traffic, this will be provided in a duration_in_traffic field.
Resuming, currently there is no way to get duration without traffic. You will get the average travel time via the API.
I'm looking to use google analytics for its web interface only. A large dataset such as gasoline prices would be submitted to analytics via the api and viewed. Is this possible? Or is analytics purely tailored to viewing website statistics?
The Google Analytics data model is really geared toward datasets that can be thought of in terms of users, sessions, and hits (hits being things like pageviews and events).
If your data can be thought of in these terms, it will probably work. If, on the other hand, you're trying to do things like joins or calculate averages or other statistical operations, you're probably better of using something else.
While the others are correct, Google Analytics is geared towards users, sessions, and hits. It is none the less simply an application for data analysis. The question will be how to get the data into the system.
I think you need to give us a little more information about your data set. But let me assume a few things.
You have a dataset with gasoline prices over a period of days.
you have a dataset with gasoline prices for different gas stations.
It would be really nice if this wasn't old data that this is new gas prices coming in.
If I had this dataset I could insert it into Google Analytics. Directly using the measurement protocol.
The measurement protocol has a few required things, the first being hit type. 'pageview', 'screenview', 'event', 'transaction', 'item', 'social', 'exception', 'timing'. the second would cid or session id.
Now cid I think I would probably set to the different gas stations and probably add a custom dimension with the gas station name.
As for hit I think I would probably say screenview and make an application Google Analytics account. Mainly because well this isn't a website its a little different.
Then every time the price of Gas changes I would send a screenview, cid of the station with the custom dimension of the station, add a custom metric with the price.
The main problem you are going to have is that Google analytics doesn't handle old data well. If you are going to insert this data with a date associated the date and time cant be grater then 4 hours ago or the server wont process it.
Have you considered putting it in big Query instead?
This question really is to broad or opinion based, but it was fun to consider.
It is possible to send all kinds of hits with the Measurement Protocol. But Philip is correct in stating that the data model is largely geared towards users, sessions and hits. But you could probably get a good ways with custom dimensions and metrics.
Are there any ways to calculate Sales Tax Rates via some sort of web service or third-party application? Are there anything other than third-party apps for this?
I have a Classic ASP application that simply needs some way to calculate a rate based on an address or zip. Is this possible at all?
Here is a web service you can use for $22 a month.
http://www.zip2tax.com/z2t_services.asp
They sell files per State as well, and for $588 a year you can get updated monthly files for all 50 states. Not sure which one best suits your needs.
There are companies that specialize in (and charge large amounts of money for) sales and use tax data for various US jurisdictions. One of them (no affiliation with me, BTW) can be found at SalesTax.com. Contact them for current pricing and frequency of the data being updated.
