I'm testing this microsoft cognitive service and this is awsome!
By now I'm developing a simple WPF GUI to manage groups and person.
I can careate and retreive groups and its persons but I cant get the images I've already uploaded.
I'm using this https://dev.projectoxford.ai/docs/services/563879b61984550e40cbbe8d/operations/563879b61984550f30395240 function to get the face/image but the only response is the persistedFaceId.
Is there a way to retreive the person's images?
The Face API does not provide such a feature, unfortunately. Your application would need to maintain this information.

I need to get a goal name using google analytics API. I'd like to display this name along with some dimensions such as ga:goalCompletionsAll, ga:goalValueAll but I'm unable to.
I have done some research and all I could find are the explanations here Not getting Goal name using Google Analytics gapi but I'm using coldfusion and http requests to make the API call.
I know that I need to use the Management API to get the goal names and the Core Reporting API for other dimensions. I've done the API calls for both and looked at both responses and I'm unable to connect both results i.e the goal name and dimensions.
Kindly assist and thanks in advance
The reporting API doesn't return the name of the goal. You will need to go though the Management API.
goals.list returns a list of goals for the authenticated user. Then you can check if the goal nr is 1 what the name of it.
Note: Remember goal names can change over time so you cant really store these.
You should have two lists your the metrics you are requesting and the results of the goals.list. Currently there are only XX goal columns for metrics this may change in the future who knows. You will need to test your metrics to find out which number they selected. Depending upon what your application is allowing you can end up with several goals selected in one request.
You want to look at goal.id and goal.name. Goal id is the number.
My application is C# so I cant really share with you how I am handling this.
I'm pretty new to the Alfresco. Is there any way to track the no.of hits (as in who has been viewing my content) to calculate some kind of Metrics for the portal?
Nope, but you could write your own servlet or webscript depending on what you really want to track.
You can use the Alfresco audit service to see who has accessed what content, number of documents created, etc. In future they are looking to add these kinds of metrics to the interface of Alfresco Enterprise.
So, for now, you're going to have to learn some audit querying:
http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/tasks/audit-simple-query.html
https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Auditing_%28from_V3.4%29
The audit service will return results in JSON that you will have to funnel in to something else for useful representation. We've used D3.js to make graphs with this data in the past.
Alternatively you could look at google-analytics-tracking which integrates Google Analytics and may meet your needs depending on exactly what you need to know.
I am developing a node.js application which (amongst other things) will recieve location information from remote users and allow them to interact with each other via the server.
I'm using the Google Tracks API because I like the idea of being able to track users when appropriate, set up geofencing to define my coverage areas and to visualise what's happening.
The Google tracks API documentation is reasonable, however I'm not sure how I would go about actually visualising the entities and geofencing I have setup on a map - this is not something that I can find covered elsewhere.
Ideally I would be able to simply embed a map into a webpage which could link with my Tracks API account and show all of the fencing and entities. Another nice feature would be the ability to 'draw' a geofence, is there anything out there which would allow this?
Thanks :-)
Tracks API does not currently offer any kind of server-side rendering for your Tracks data, so the best approach is to use the API to retrieve the crumbs (or just current location) and render them using polylines (or just markers) in the Google Maps API. You can similarly get all your geofences and render them using polygons.
Because this is done clientside, you'll probably want to limit your data to a reasonable number (depending on the browser/OS combination, something like O(thousands) of vertices).
All this assumes that your app meets the terms of service of the Maps API so check those out as well.
I'll be working on a project that will require a live output of a number of tweets users have hash tagged on Twitter as well as their tweets. Something along the lines of MTV's Twitter Tracker: http://vma-twittertracker.mtv.com/live/#buzz.
What intrigued me about this site is how can they constantly make API calls to Twitter without breaching the request limit?
I'd appreciate if anyone could guide me on the most effective way to accomplish this. From the research I've carried out thus far, I presume I will need to use Twitter's Streaming API.
Since there is a chance that the number of tweets output to my page could be in their thousands (AJAX loaded) along with stats on number of retweets/favourites, what would be the most scalable approach within my .NET site? Any examples or guidance would be appreciated.
Check out Linq2Twitter. It is a great wrapper around the Twitter API, and provides two mechanisms that will help you:
There is a search function that allows you to search for hash tags, etc, which will limit the amount of data you are getting back
You have the option to specify getting all the data since a certain tweet ID. You can therefore incrementally search the feed by performing searches and searching, in subsequent calls, from the ID you left off on.
I have used this many times to search the public feed and have not had any issues to date. I think the search function is key not requesting too much. Good luck!
you can look into Storm framework. Below are few links for further reference:-

Thanks for all your responses.
It looks like sites such that display a lot of Twitter stats/data use third party approved providers that have direct access to Twitter's Firehose API.
I have managed to get in contact with an approved provider to supply us with the feeds of data required (and it ain't cheap!).
I found this site
http://www.shutterfly.com/documentation/api_OrderImage.sfly
but there are no examples of actually walking through the whole process. Does anyone have any good documentation on using this API to take a local photo and allow someone to order a print via shutterfly?
I went through these steps:
Sign up for an account
Sign up as a developer
Create an application (I called mine Test). Note the generated Application Id and Shared Secret
The Shutterfly API page has a list of references for various Domain-specific APIs:
Address Book
Album Data
Folder Data
Go To Shutterfly UE
Image Upload
Interactive Sign-in
Image Request
Order
Pricing
Seamless Sign-in
User Data
User Authentication
Each uses RESTful principles. The documentation looks pretty comprehensive to me, if you need some background, here's links for RESTful APIs and ROME you may find useful
There is also an API Explorer section on the same page that allows you to test the methods via a form on their site. For example this form for CRUD operations on the album data.
Based on your comment, for your requirements, you would:
Use the Album GET to list albums, then get the data for a specific album.
Use the Image Get request to retrieve the image data, so your friend can verify the image(s) they want to purchase.
Authenticate the user
Use the Pricing POST request to get the estimated pricing for the image.
User the Order POST to submit the order over https
Update: Found a page describing using a Greasemonkey script which adds Shutterfly print ordering capability to Flickr. This might provide the basis for a solution.
For Reference:
The original link above is a middle step of the Shutterfly Open API ordering procedure.
The whole process goes through a series of steps allowing you to control much more than just pushing photos into somebody's album in Shutterfly.
With this process, your application can actually carry out the entire procedure of:
specifying the images and the sizes and quantities, or other products
calculating shipping, taxes, and totals
paying, and
launching the processing
It also includes the ability to see when the packages will be delivered and arrive.
Thus if you have a solid application for mapping your images onto paper and products, you can pretty much control the entire process.
Once the order is submitted, it will appear on the user's account at Shutterfly who the order was associated with.
Kudos to Shutterfly for making such a powerful tool! It would be great if other printing facilities had similar tools.
