Is this possible to access Google Places Dashboard using API - google-maps-api-3

I am developing an application where I need to retrieve Google Place Dashboard Insight data using Google Places API or Google Analytic. I am looking for documentation and sample code for this for the last 6 hours with no luck! :(
Does anybody know if there is a way to to do this? It looks to me there is nothing like this yet, but I would be extremely happy to see I am wrong, and there is a way to do this!
I am looking for the same for the last 6 hours but does not seem like there is any. Even that has gone worse when I saw this post here: http://places.blumenthals.com/threade8ae.html. However, the thread was closed way back in 2011, so I hope Google has developed something for this!
Maximum accessibility to Google Places API is limited to Search, Business Detail etc. but I need to access the insight metrics like Impressions, Actions, Clicks more info, Clicks for direction, Clicks to website.
Is there any HTTP Get request to handle a REST API and throw me the data from Google server? If yes, please provide me the link to documentation. My application is platformed in ASP.NET 4.0, so a .net client would be handy as well.

Track count of views,likes and comments in a community site

Can anyone tell me how can I track number of views,likes,comments and shares in a collaboration and community site. This is not a Google site. This site was created using lumapps. It's a collaboration site, Which works similar to Google+, where you can write a blog, post and like/ share the same. I need a way of keep tracking the likes/shares/views on such posts or blogs, So that I can display the same in Google data studio.
I heard it's possible using Google tag manager. Can anyone confirm this OR let me know about anyways of achieving the same.
Thanks and Regards
Kumar
You would do this by sending an event to Google Analytics and using this source in Data Studios.
Please see reference on how to send events using Google Tag Manager and custom Variables.

How is Google Analytics providing data for my site without the JS code?

I signed up for Google Analytics a couple months ago, but have yet to actually set up the JS snippet on my site.
Today I logged into the dashboard and I see tons of tracking data already in there.
I'm trying to figure out how Google is gathering user data on my site when I haven't even hooked up the code yet.
Also, I see a handful of hits to completely random paths on my domain (mostly foreign). Stuff like www.mysite.com/www.somepornsite.com and I'm just curious why a bot would even bother trying to hit a full domain as a subpath. Or even why my site's getting hit at all (it's completely behind HTTPAuth at the moment), but I suppose that's inevitable.
Thanks for any insight.
I had the same problem a couple of months ago, it turned oud that a bot got my script and did malicious things with it. I got my self a new Analytics code and it did the trick for me.
This will probably also work for you although it it weird that they got your script without even having it published yet.

Form autofill with LinkedIn

EDIT: LINKEDIN SUPPORT - do you check Stack Overflow for posts tagged with linkedin like it says on your website?
Have been directed here by LinkedIn developer site.
I have found the following article ( https://community.unbounce.com/unbounce/topics/guide-implementing-linkedins-new-autofill-feature ), plus a couple of others that talk about LinkedIn autofill, but there seems to be no documentation on the LinkedIn developers site. Is this still in beta? Is there a date set for its official release and for documentation release?
I wish to implement this on our company HubSpot landing pages, but so far haver been unsuccessful ('Your request could not be completed') and I am wondering if this is because it has not been made available to the public yet?
I have seen it used on 2 sites, but I assume these are using formstack or another application that has been granted access to the functionality?
Would very much appreciate some info on this great potential new feature.
Thanks in advance
I came across this thread while I was researching Autofill. Looks like you have to use LinkedIn Lead Accelerator for you to be able to use it. And people are saying that that's like $25k/3 months!

Auto posting TO instagram

Does anyone know of a way to auto post TO Instagram as opposed to from it? Google is useless at this, only pages on how to create auto posts from your Instagram page. The popular RSS auto-post Apps such as RSS Graffiti, Dlvr.it and Hootsuite do not seem able to.
My website updates with "reports" throughout the day. Each report has an image. Once the report is added I use the RSS Apps above to autopost to Facebook and Twitter. Seems to not be possible to do it with Instagram. I have a hard time believing so.
Anyone got any tips here?
I'm sorry to say I don't think that's possible. From the API documentation:
At this time, uploading via the API is not possible. We made a
conscious choice not to add this for the following reasons:
Instagram is about your life on the go – we hope to encourage photos
from within the app. However, in the future we may give whitelist
access to individual apps on a case by case basis.
We want to fight
spam & low quality photos. Once we allow uploading from other sources,
it's harder to control what comes into the Instagram ecosystem. All
this being said, we're working on ways to ensure users have a
consistent and high-quality experience on our platform.

Google Calendar with Sql Server DB

Is it possible to associate a sql server database with a google calendar i.e. have the calendar read from and update the db?
You might want to take a look through the google developers guide for their calendar. It appears that you would have to have some type of application to create specific xml from your database that can be set with a 'post' method to google and retrived with a 'get' method for dislaying.
Just looking at the sidebar here on Stackoverflow, it seems that a lot of people have asked about the google calendar application, and you maybe able to find a lot more information by searching the related questions.
Good luck with your project, and hope this helps some.
