Google NLP API - Companies identified as "Unknown" - nlp

I try to identify entities in French newspaper articles and very often organizations, even famous ones such as Apple, are identified as "Unknown", whereas the linked Wikipedia page is correct.
You can try using the content of this article:
http://www.lefigaro.fr/secteur/high-tech/2018/02/02/32001-20180202ARTFIG00030-trimestre-record-pour-apple-grace-a-ses-prix-eleves.php
Does anybody know how to make sure companies are correctly recognized as "Organization" entities?

I work on this API at Google. This turned out to be a bug and we've fixed it. Please try again.

When does hCaptcha invented (introduced)?

In order to eliminate Google's reCAPTCHA, specifically on privacy issues, hCaptcha introduced an alternative solution and shortly become popular. The introduction dates for various versions of reCAPTCHA are explicitly released and one can find them. But, after many search I could not find when does hCaptcha invented or publicly introduced? I found this blog post on fast company that backs in 2019. In this article it is stated that the mother company was founded in 2017 but nothing about invention of the captcha is said.
I went deeper and find status report on the official website for hCaptcha. Surprisingly, the first entry is for 2012 and I'm almost sure in that date there was nothing named hCaptcha.
Anyone knows anything about the origin of hCaptcha?

Is there a way in Instagram's API to get the URL to a new post from a specific user? I'd like to integrate it with a Reddit bot

The Owl City subreddit (/r/OWLCITY) is running into a unique problem: Whenever Adam Young posts something new to Instagram (#owlcityofficial), there's an influx of new Reddit posts saying that Adam posted something new. I suggested (and if I can get it off the ground, hope to do so with the approval of the subreddit's moderators) to create a bot that automatically creates a new post whenever Adam posts something to Instagram, as a sort of "master thread." All discussion about the post could be had there, with all others being subject to deletion.
This appears to be easier said than done. Looking briefly at Reddit's API's this appears to be possible. But on Instagram's end, that's another story. It appears Instagram deprecated and shut down their first API last year, and I can't find any information on whether the two APIs still available support something like this. I would prefer to use the Display API, as I doubt I qualify to use the Graph API. Furthermore, I can't find any useful information on the Instagram API. Also, almost any search for what I'm trying to do shows a plethora of results of how to do it with the OLD API, and limiting the results to the last year doesn't bring up anything useful.
Is there a way to do what I want to do? Keep in mind I'm relatively new to programming, so any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Maybe use Python with Selenium to get the Channel Page and get the first entry. Compare it with and if it is newer, scrape it. No API needed, if you not want to dig to deep into API references.
Try search for Instagram Basic Display API.
Please specify what kind of programming Language you have experience.

Getting Google Actions / Schemas into Google Now

I have been sending test emails with schema.org markup included. They work fine in Gmail, displaying the Action buttons correctly. However they never come through to Google Now.
I've have tried package tracking, events, flights etc. Using my own code and the code examples provided on the Google Developers site. Google Now is set up to receive cards based on the Gmail account, but they never come through.
I can find many instances of people having exactly the same issue as me, but no one seems to have a solution.
Can i just clarify this is NOT an issue with the SPF check or DKIM signatures in the header. The schema markup works perfectly in Gmail. This is just an issue with getting it to go from gmail through to Google Now.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

How freebase search suggests?

I know that search has a ranking system, but for example if i type washington to search box does it suggest every possible node that are connected to the nodes contains washington in its name or does it also suggests anything else?
There's a lot of documentation regarding Freebase Search, including search API.
To see how freebase.com uses this API just open the Chrome developer tools and check the API ajax requests, I got this typing washington:
https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/search?callback=jQuery17108071434691082686_1408371309116&query=washington&key=AIzaSyCQVC9yA72POMg2VjiQhSJQQP1nf3ToZTs&filter=(not+type%3A%2Fcommon%2Fdocument)&filter=(any+type%3A%2Fcommon%2Ftopic)&spell=always&exact=false&lang=s%2Fen%2Cd%2Fen%2Cs%2Fall%2Cd%2Fall&prefixed=true

FourSquare Brand Use Clarifications

An account manager that I work with has come up to me and insists that the Foursquare API can be used to "checkin" to a website, so basically saying one could checkin to www.somewebsite.com (this differs from checking into a venue via a website). Admittedly the language on the brand page creative use FAQ on foursquare.com reads a little odd:
Building “check-ins” into your own application or website
Has the FS API been used to do such a thing? I couldn't see how, or why FourSquare would allow this capability. I do see they have Brand pages which looks nothing more that what Twitter might accomplish.
On another note, where does someone contact FS regarding a branded promotion like the one they have done for SuperBowl Sunday? There is nothing on the site to let someone know where to contact them.
Foursquare check-ins are to venues, and venues always have a physical location associated with them. So no, you can't check in to www.somewebsite.com. What you can do is use the API to check in from www.somewebsite.com.
To contact foursquare about partnership opportunities, e-mail partners#foursquare.com
The foursquare API is for checking into locations. What the FAQ is telling you is that you can make an application that allows people to check in to a location from that application.
Let me give you a potential example.
A restaurant has a loyalty club where you register online and can check into the restaurant when you arrive, for coupons. But the restaurant also allows you to link your restaurant account with your foursquare account. So the next time you show up at the restaurant, you enter your phone number and presto, you're also checked into foursquare.
It might not be a great application, but it's an example of something that could be done and the type of application to which the FAQ was referring, not checking into a website itself.
as for the branding question, check out their Merchant Platform page.
