Azure Maps Search API's response language not always english - azure

The response of Maps Search Reverse API gives results in the country's local language, how can I force it to respond in English only? Google's API does not have this issue.
Here is the API's documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/maps/search/getsearchaddressreverse#uri-parameters

This isn't yet documented as work on localizing data globally is still being done, but you can try this out by adding "&language=" and passing in a language IDs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/supported-languages

Pardot Visit query API - generic query not available

I am trying to extract/sync data through Pardot API v4 into a local DB. Most APIs were fine, just used the query method with created_after search criteria. But the Visit API does not seem to support neither a generic query of all visit data, nor a created_after search criteria to retrieve new items.
As far as I can see I can only query Visits in the context of a Visitor or a Prospect.
Any ideas why, and how could I implement synchronisation? (sorry, no access to Pardot DB...)
I have been using pypardot4 python wrapper for convenience but would be happy to use the API natively if it makes any difference.
I managed to get a response from Pardot support, and they have confirmed that such response filtering is not available on the Visits API. I asked for a feature request, but hardly any chance to get enough up-votes to be considered :(

Google cloud natural language API with SlackBot

I try to follow this tutorial :
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/nodejs-docs-samples/tree/master/language/slackbot
The bot is running fine but it doesn't generate any thumbs up or down like it must do. It seems that it doesn't have access to Natural Language API. How can I debug it or be sure that it can access the API ?
The range of the sentiment score returned by the API has changed since that example was written. The sample will be updated shortly to fix that. In the meantime, try editing demo_bot.js to change the SENTIMENT_THRESHOLD to something around .3, e.g.
const SENTIMENT_THRESHOLD = .3;

How does webkitSpeechRecognition() work without an API key?

Every reverse engineering of the Google Speech API requires an API key but Chrome is able to call the server, seemingly without one. How does this work internally?
Is it possible to use the API for any sort of large scale speech transcription?
Looking into the Chromium source code, http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/content/browser/speech/google_one_shot_remote_engine.cc indicates that the server is passed an API key with the request.
It also seems that Google Chrome comes with an API key, and chromium can, depending on the distribution. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome
It's still unclear to me why the browser calls to the server are not effected by the 50 calls/day limit.

Getting all GitHub users through github-api

The GitHub API documentation says that the url
https://api.github.com/users
will give all users in the order they signed up, but I only seem to get the first 135.
Any ideas how to get the real full list?
Please use since parameter in your GET request.
https://api.github.com/users?since=XXX
Probably it's done this way to limit the resources needed to handle such request. Without such limit it's just asking for DoS attack.
If you check the response headers for that request Github provides pagination links under the header Links
Link: <https://api.github.com/users?since=135>; rel="next", <https://api.github.com/users{?since}>; rel="first"
I believe since their api v3 Github has been moving towards a hypermedia api.
Github Hypermedia API
EDIT
This is beyond the scope of this question but its related. To learn more about hypermedia API and REST. Take a look at these slides by Steve Klabnik
http://steveklabnik.github.com/hypermedia-presentation/#1
Both of the existing answers are 100% correct, but I would advise you to use a wrapper for whatever language you happen to be doing this in. There are plenty of them and there is an official one for ruby (Octokit). Here is a list of all of them.
You can filter on type:user like this:
https://api.github.com/search/users?q=type:user

Which language is used to make google docs and box.net?

I want to know how and which things are used to make google docs and box.net ?
Most of the UI functionality comes from using Javascript and HTML's DOM together with AJAX, a technique for using JS to make additional requests of the server without reloading the page.
In terms of the back-end languages (that provide the dynamic content) box.net returns PHPSESSID as part of it's set-cookie http response. They're also running nginx. So I would suspect one of the many PHP frameworks as being in use.
As for google docs, Google are known to use python quite extensively. Google's "App Engine" uses Python or Java as its languages (I believe Python was added first). So I suspect they use some customised form of python based on their own instance of their own app engine. Their http headers give nothing away, except that the Server: GSE line.
According to HowStuffWorks, Google Docs uses Java for the backend and JavaScript for the front end. Of course, HTML is in the mix there as well.
As for the database it uses, Google won't say. It will use the cloud though, we can be sure of that.
