How do I create a reminder using Google Calendar API? - google-calendar-api

In the regular web UI for Google Calendar, when I add an event, I can choose to make it a "reminder", rather than an "event".
I'm trying to replicate that with the Python API, but can't seem to find info on how to do that. All the documentation I'm finding pertains to reminders on events (i.e. "remind half an hour before the event"), rather than the "pure" reminders.
How does one add just a pure reminder?

Adding Reminders is not currently possible.
As Aaron suggested, there's an official Feature Request that can be upvoted.

I created a simple tool that does exactly that: google-reminders-cli

I have translated Jona's https://github.com/jonahar/google-reminders-cli from Python to:
JavaScript: https://github.com/Jinjinov/google-reminders-js
PHP: https://github.com/Jinjinov/google-reminders-php

How to add new place to Here Maps via API?

Is possible to add new place to Here maps?
Early wrote that it is impossible (Add and retrieving data from here maps), but it was in 2014.
How are things now?
In the end, I would like to create new places/location like Google maps.
Thank you all in advance for the answers.
You can add Places by locating and providing the place details in https://mapcreator.here.com/. The Here Reviewer Team will review it and add the place post verification. You will be able to view the status of your request as well. Hope this helps!
To make changes or provide feedback about an existing place in Here Maps use the Feedback API. Read more about it here - https://developer.here.com/documentation/map-feedback/topics/example-place-feedback.html

Pipe url parameter into Google Forms

I'm trying to pipe a url parameter such that it appears in a question on a Google Forms. For example, the interaction would be:
url= https://..../variable=[word]
And then one of the questions in the Google Form would be:
What do you think about [word]?
Is this possible?
Google Forms doesn't include built-in functions to do something like that. One alternative is to use Google Apps Script and the HTMLService to build your own form. To learn about this see https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/html/

Is there an API call to get a list of saved places in Google Maps?

I have a ton of saved places that appear on my Google Maps - but there is no way to manage, filter or search them. Is there a way to access these locations by API?
I scanned the maps api and can't find any reference. Is there another Google API that makes this available?
There do have a REST API can retrieve the saved places.
http://www.google.com/bookmarks/?output=xml
Visit this link to get more information.
https://www.google.com/bookmarks/
There are also api like:
https://www.google.com/bookmarks/find?q=conf&output=xml&num=10000
https://www.google.com/bookmarks/lookup?
But seems like they have been deprecated and most of document are not available anymore. Use them as you own risk.
Currently the list of saved places in My Maps is not available via an API. There is a feature request tracking this you can use to follow along # https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=2953.
2022: I created a gist for parsing saved places from a shared list via python. It is really unstable because its a quick&dirty solution but maybe it will help someone: https://gist.github.com/ByteSizedMarius/8c9df821ebb69b07f2d82de01e68387d
Edit: The above answer did not yet take pagination into consideration. Please see my answer here.

Freebase with own data?

I have been looking for an autosuggest search script and I have finally found one that I like, the only problem is that I cannot find a way to get it to run off our database results.
Is there any way to customize this script so that it runs from our own database, and not off the freebase pre-defined data types?

Have you tried overriding service_url and service_path ? There are also the corresponding params for the flyout service. It's documented in the docs that you pointed to.
As masouras says, you can override service_url and service_path, but that's not particularly helpful unless you have another service which provides the same APIs as Freebase.
Dae Park recently posted a recipe to the Freebase mailing list which might help - however, I'm not aware of anyone who's actually managed to get Suggest working with anything other than Freebase.

Is there an API (SOAP, JSON, XML-RPC, REST, anything) to Google Code Issues?

Is there any programmatic way to read the data stored in a Google Code Project Hosting "Issues" tracker? Ideally it'd be nice to update/add issues too, but first I need some structured form of data from the tracker. I only see the HTML pages, and an Atom feed for issue updates.
Now there is one.

There doesn't seem to be but they have promised it's coming during the Google Wave introduction. The demo is at minute 61 and your question is answered at minute 78.
