I'm trying to get all photos from a defined facebook page.
https://graph.facebook.com/$pageID/albums?fields=photos.limit(30000)
This only gives me up to a hundred when there's thousands on this particular Mobile Uploads album.
30.000 is way too much, API calls usually have a max limit that is a LOT lower.
Use the paging links in the resulting JSON instead, here is an example from the official docs: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/php/howto/example_pagination_basic

When utilising Firebase Storage to store imagery, for example, user avatars, is there a way that you can request a smaller, thumbnail sized serving of the image?
I have searched Google and documentation and I have been unable to come up with a result. Currently my app utilising Firebase Storage URLs experiences a minor delay prior to loading images due to the fact that it I am requesting large images to fill tiny avatars.
Is there a resource I am overlooking that specifies the available parameters for this URL? (of which token & alt are two I'm aware of).
Thank you for the assistance in advance.
Auto-resizing images upon read is not a feature of Firebase Storage. The typical solution is to create variants of the images during upload, for example through the Resize Images extension.
I understand Vimeo-API can fetch links of only 100 videos. We have 200+ videos in Vimeo and would like to fetch their links dynamically thru Cron job. Vimeo told us it can do only for 100 videos. Is that true ? is there anyway we can fetch the links of all videos > 100. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Nope. From the Vimeo API documentation pages, each page of a response can have a maximum of 100 objects/items returned. The only way to get more than that is to make additional requests, specifying the maximum number of objects/items.
https://developer.vimeo.com/api/common-formats#using-the-pagination-parameter
Also, considering each video object can be quite large, you should use the fields parameter to only specify the metadata needed for your application. For instance, if you only need the video link from the response, then your request uri might look like this:
https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos?fields=uri,link&page=1&per_page=100
See the documentation here: https://developer.vimeo.com/api/common-formats#json-filter
My company uses LinkedIn Share API to publish messages on LinkedIn profiles sharing content from WordPress posts.
One thing that is driving me crazy right now is that when I share the same URL and content to two different profiles, the preview cards that result from that are different. On one profile I got a full image preview like the following:
But the same content (same API params to share) produce this different preview:
I'm trying everything I can to get a consistent behavior. I'd like to have all previews being full size previews like the one shown in the first screenshot. API documentation doesn't help much here.
Any help or clue would be appreciated.
It's a random behaviour from LinkedIn. From time to time a significant percentage of accounts reached via the post API return a small thumbnail as well as a different content link (if you use redirected links like bit.ly). It happened for a week in February and since last Friday, including a number of Internal Server Errors. It looks like LinkedIn runs different code on different parts of its infrastructure.
So there is nothing you can do programmatically on your end I'm afraid.
We have a Google Spreadsheet from which we wish to load data into our webpage.
I started by using the Google Spreadsheet APi via C# and the Google API .NET libraries to read the spreadsheet and load it into an html unsorted list.
The spreadhsheet has about 200 rows, but could have more, as it will be updated frequently. So the problem is that the users have to wait until the spreadsheed data is retrieved and parsed before they can see anything in the webpage (the page is white whilst loading).
How can I load this data in the background whilst the page loads?
I've already written my code in C# and don't much want to spend the time swapping to javascript, but I will if I have to.
Could I use the AJAX Control Toolkit to do this? I know it will load html, but can I use it to fetch google data?
What can I do here that would be fast and easy?
[Edit]
The account that hosts the google spreadsheet is inside a google domain, so it's documents can't be shared to the public as a whole - only to individuals. The C# libraries allow me to use the account's username and password to log into the account to get the spreadsheet data, and so the spreadsheet doesn't need to be shared at all. Even if I went with a javascript/ajax solution, I would yet need this functionality.
Well, this probably isn't the BEST answer, but it IS a solution. I'd like to see if y'all have a better one.
Anyway, I found this, which is an example of how to use an asp:Timer to delay the calling of a function for a certain amount of time - in my case, long enough for the page itself to load. At least this way, the user gets to see the page, and can watch the nice loading-gif until the actual content arrives.
It is an AJAXy approach that allows me to keep my c# programming without having to add any javascript.
I've an ASP.NET page with a textbox and a option from user of the following choices: Wikipedia, Google, Dictionary.com, Flickr, Google images.
The user enters a word(s) in the textbox and selects a choice among the following.
Depending on the choice select by the user I wish to return the following.
Wikipedia: Return the content and link to the page corresponding to the topic about the word.
Google: Return the top 10 results of google search for this word.
Flickr: Return a few images atmost 10 images from flickr search
GoogleImage: Return a few images from google image search.
Dictionary: Return the meaning of the word.
How can I do that?
Since you are wanting to do some processing on the results prior to displaying them, your best bet is probably to invoke a web request on the server to fetch your results as RSS or some other parsable XML format.
So first up, we have Wikipedia, which has API support for open search, and queries with XML or JSON output. You can get the details of the API by going to: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
I would think either the query action, or opensearch action would be what you want.
Right, now there is Google, which supports search results as RSS through their Active Search feature. The link takes you to the main page where you can build the query, at which point it should be easy to drop in your search terms. There is also the Google Search AJAX API, which you can find out about here (See the "Flash and other Non-Javascript Environments" section for building the URLs directly. I believe this option should give you access to Google Image results as well.
For Flickr, have a look at this App Garden page. There are several output formats available to choose from.
I wasn't able to find anything real solid on getting results from Dictionary.com, but it does appear that they have an API. You might be able to dig through google and find some references on how to get search results as XML or JSON. There are also several other Dictionary sites which may have more information about their APIs. While searching I managed to find this SO question about word lookup from google dictionary.
Hope this helps.
Have an iframe within your page, and then set the src of the frame to the appropriate query string that you craft from the user's input.
This can be done from javascript within the page, in response to the user selecting something in the 'choice' dropdown. You can have the appropriate urls already embedded in the javascript (as variables), and just substitute in the user's input.
