I'm trying to find all of the YouTube videos created by IGN's channel during the month of February 2014. IGN currently has 118,000+ videos uploaded, so going back through all of them is not possible. I previously used the following Google search string and a custom date range to find them:
site:youtube.com ignentertainment
This doesn't work anymore for some reason. I'd be much obliged if anyone has any ideas of how to do this. I have no idea what an API is, but if there's a VERY simple way of using that to do what I want that can be explained briefly, I'm willing to go that route.
Thanks.
You can use google to limit the period that it fetches search hits from.
Start by searching using "site:youtube.com ignentertainment" or simply "ignentertainment" and then click on the tools button, you now got a new bar between your search bar and the results that can limit time among other things.
Open the time related options and choose to input a specified period and your all done.
Edit: oh and the command site:youtube.com ignentertainment sure worked for me.

I have tried (about a dozen times now) to add promotional tiles to my extension's web store listing.
I am getting this one every single time:
"This small tile image has been rejected due to the following reasons:
Text is too small
Too much detail
Please review the guidelines, upload a new image and republish."
I thought for a while that it's about text, but at my last try it was even without a single character in there and it was still rejected. Also I think the text rule is not that enforced since every single one on the front page has it's name on the tile.
Here is the last one I tried (instantly rejected this time so most likely automatic?) https://i.imgur.com/B2Qh7qO.png
Another one I tried a few days ago: https://i.imgur.com/WMcmF3O.png
Any advice would be appreciated.
The Chrome Webstore Developer support got back to me with the response
"I've checked your item and your promotional image is now fixed"
So it seems like a bug somewhere in their system so if anyone else runs into this don't do what I did and spend months trying to tweak your promotional images over and over, just contact them..
EDIT: For some reason the Developer Support contact form is extremely hard to find. Here it is: https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/contact/developer_support?hl=en
The follow up support emails came from these address: cws-developer-support#google.com and developer-support#google.com
Just want to ask if any one has any idea how to embed an apple icalendar to a webpage? Apparently you can't do this directly using an iframe with the webcal:// address.
Best I can figure, based on Googling it and trying, is that it can't be done at the moment. Wordpress.com lets you but I don't think they let you see the inner workings.
What I did was insert Google Calendar and sync it with iCal. The nice thing is you can apply css to Google Calendar and they make it very easy to insert Google calendar and it can display a a list (great for seeing more than one months worth of stuff), as a calendar month or just show one week.
Hope that helps.
I recently read this article on how to scrape the Inbound.org community members profile using Excel. And you can watch the video here if you prefer it that way.
Since the release of this tutorial, the Inbound website structure has changed a bit, as you can see at minute 11:00 in the video, if you attempt to copy the XPath of the social media icons it appears slightly different and because of this I haven't been able to extract that information.
Here's what I get now:
/html/body/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/a[1]/i
This is how I wrote the syntax in Excel:
=XPathOnUrl(A2,"//a[#class='twitter']","href")
And then like this:
=XPathOnUrl(A2,"//a[contains(#class,twitter)]/#href")
Although I tried in many different ways, none of them showed me the link to the member's social media profile.
I even tried changing the xpath in multiple ways to get different data from the page, but none of it was the social media information:
=XPathOnUrl(A2,"//*[contains(#class,member-banner-tagline)]/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[1]")
=XPathOnUrl(A2,"//*[contains(#class,member-banner-tagline)]/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div/h1")
I honestly don't know what to try anymore, something's wrong and I can't figure it out. Anybody have enough experience with this or can pinpoint the problem here with my syntax?
Thanks a lot
The first formula you tried looks fine, but this is the one that works for me (SEO Tools version 4.3.4) :
=Dump(XPathOnUrl(A2;"//a[#class='twitter']";"href";HttpSettings(TRUE)))
I have a group of websites I want to check daily for new content and I'm not sure what the best way is. I'm hoping one of you can help me.
With Google Custom Search, I can search a group of websites -- but what I want is to find any content posted in the past 24 hours, not just content related to a specific keyword. I've tried searching with no keyword and I get no results.
With regular Google Search, I can choose a single site (site:www.example.com), use search tools to limit the results to the past 24 hours, enter no keyword and find anything that's new. But that only works for one site at a time, as far as I can tell.
With Google News search, I can find new content from multiple sites -- but that only works for news sources. If I enter nytimes.com, it works; if I enter dcenr.gov.ie/ I get nothing.
Any ideas on another way to approach this?
You can try creating a RSS feed for the webpages and then using a RSS reader to check for updates.
for my job, I'm looking into an idea in which people would use Google Search by Image and use any celebrity photo they find. Google would return the results and then on our end, a there'd be a database of professionals showing how to get that specific look.
I'm assuming this is extremely unlikely to do, based on that users could use ANY photo.
So, is there a way that I could have about 100 or so celebrity photos that Google Image results could compare to and then choose the one that is closest.
Basically:
Drag drop photo of Britney Spears
Google searches with that image
Google's results compare the top images with our 100, and selects the closest match.
User gets to see video of how to get Britney Spears look.
I'm not a programmer, but looking for some API or Search by Image extension that could make this remotely possible for the programmers here at my job. Does something like that (a search by image api) exist? The best I could find was just the support page, which is hardly of any help: http://support.google.com/images/bin/answer.py?hl=en&p=searchbyimagepage&answer=1325808
You can easily search by an existing image by inserting this into your address bar:
https://www.google.com/searchbyimage?site=search&sa=X&image_url=YOUR_IMAGE_URL
Example:
https://www.google.com/searchbyimage?site=search&sa=X&image_url=http://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/company/img/logos/so/so-icon.png
Sorry to say, but the Google image API is deprecated:
Important: The Google Image Search API has been officially deprecated as of May 26, 2011. It will continue to work as per our deprecation policy, but the number of requests you may make per day may be limited.
Quite sure there are some alternatives (http://www.tineye.com/ and http://mrisa.mage.me.uk)
Update (2013): There is now Google Custom Search which allows image searches.
These answers are quite obsolete, but the question comes up in searches. So, the Google Vision API has the "web detection" feature that does a reverse image search. First 1000 requests per month are free, $3.50/1000 afterwards.
I think Google Web Detection could be a solution for you. Google moved it permanently from Image search
You can do it via www.images.google.com but only from a browser (lets you upload your own image and compares it to similar).
I'm working on doing it from code (not from browser).
I had the same problem and came up with two solutions:
There are a number of APIs that give reverse image search results nowadays. The ones I used are https://reverseimageapi.com and TinEye.com.
As the selected answer mentions, you can easily scrape this information but will almost certainly need rotating proxies to prevent being banned by the search engine. There are plenty of proxy rotation services (Zyte, Oxylabs, ScrapingBee, etc.) to make you life easier.
I ended up going with option 1 due to the upkeep of scraping search engines and elements changing / breaking.
