I am developing such application where I wanted to retrieve some values from the site.
for example here I am developing an finance application.
and I wanted to take the price for the product from the google finance or yahoo finance.
how can we access this value and it will reflect to our DB?
is it possible to get the values from sites?
What you need to do is consume APIs in your application and store the data as needed:
Google Finance APIs and Tools
yahoo-finance-managed

We want to enhance data we have on our own customers & prospects with their profile data from LinkedIn. I believe we can only pull down data from consented users which is fine, but I'm also trying to work out whether we need a specific licence for extracting this profile data via an API and to store against our profiles in our database.
Is there a specific developer product to support this requirement?
Thanks
Is there a way to pull company insights info using one of the LinkedIn API's? I have a premium account and have created an app on the LinkedIn developers platform. I can’t seem to find a way to fetch company data such as number of employees (by category and total), headcount growth (3m, 6m, 1yr, 2yr), job openings by category, etc.
Any idea on how to resolve this issue?
you can do this easily using organizationPageStatistics and brandPageStatistics APIs
just request the following link

if you need to read more you can read the documentation

I was tasked with creating multiple PowerBI reports and dashboards that encompass our website data from Google Analytics (GA). I started with our primary website, and used the built in custom connector from PowerBI to consume this data. This connector, however, is "supported" by Google, and I'm having some issues with the data.
Google Analytics Data
PowerBI Data
As you can see in these two screenshots, some of the data matches, and some of it does not. The time frame for both screenshots show for Nov. 2019. I understand there may be a little bit of data discrepancy; however, the custom connector in PowerBI does not allow for me to show the unique users. This is one of the most important attributes to any websites as it is more accurate showing how many individuals are actually visiting your website due to the cookies on their machine. Another big data issue I noticed is the bounce rate is almost twice as much as the actual bounce rate in GA.
Is there any way to bring in the Unique User and Bounce Rate metric accurately? The marketing team currently uses DashThis, and it shows this data, so I know it's possible- I just don't know how it's being done.
So Power bi's connector for google analytics has a sampling issue and an API Calls limit. The standard limitations and quotas for Google Analytics API requests are documented in Limits and Quotas on API Requests. However, Power BI Desktop and Power BI service allow you to use the following enhanced number of queries.
Queries per day: 1,500,000, Queries per 100 seconds: 4,000
Might be better to connect Google analytics to a data warehouse such as Google BigQuery, which will help you get access to historical data that you won't be able to get with Power bi's connector. I'd suggest using a third-party connector.
I know how to use the Google API to access different metrics and dimensions to query for specific data. However, I am faced with a different scenario. I would like to know if there is any mechanism to access the reports/custom reports that are already created using the Google Analytics web user interface.
Our client has created about 15 different reports and now wants us to simply get the data into his own database rather than having to log into the Google Analytics website and run the report and export the data.
Can anyone please guide me on this?
Not sure if this is exactly what you are thinking, but you can always use the Reporting API to extract the data using python/javascript/etc and then store the data locally in your database. For more info, check out the Google Analytics Query Explorer and try out different combinations of dimensions and metrics to be able to extract the data. You can then use any number of different Core Reporting API Client libraries to access the analytics database.
How to generate Google Analytics tracking code programmatic-ally?
I am new to Google Analytics API, can someone please help
It is NOT possible to create new Google Analytics accounts or profiles programmatically using the existing APIs.
There are two APIs available, the Data Export API and the Management API. However, they are bot read-only.
With the Google Analytics Data Export API, you can develop client applications to request data from an existing Analytics profile for an authorized user, and refine the results of the request using query parameters. Currently, the Data Export API supports read-only access to your Google Analytics data.
Currently, the Management API supports read-only access to five components of the Google Analytics Management system: Account data,Profile data, Web property data, Goal data, Advanced segments
Seems like it's finally possible in 2021 with alpha api.

It's not currently possible to create Google Analytics accounts automatically at the moment but generating the tracking code is possible.
The only real variation between the tracking code generated each time you create a profile for a new domain is the web property ID. This is in the format UA-XXXXXXX-X. Each X is a number - the first 7 numbers are the account number and the number after the last dash relates to each web property set up for the account.
You can use the accounts feed of the API to get a list of accounts and their profiles. If an account only has one profile then it's possible to use the web property ID of it to automatically generate the tracking code. However, if there's multiple web properties then you would need a way to decide which one to use (present the user with a selection list etc).
