I've been looking into getting a developer key for YouTube Data API v2.Navigating to the page Google lists for this purpose gives me a blank page--so there is no way to actually get a developer key. Does this page show up blank for anyone else?
Is this a sign from Google that it's time to move to version 3? I would really prefer not to, since it has some anti-features that I want to avoid.
There were some transient issues with https://code.google.com/apis/youtube/dashboard/gwt/index.html that should be resolved.
To answer the larger question, using the Data API v2 is still an option, but we're definitely recommending the Data API v3 for new development. (There are still a few pieces of functionality that are only available in v2, but that list is not very long.)
I'm not sure what "anti-features" you're referring to, so it's hard to comment beyond that.

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.
I'd like to automatize some processes that are not yet available through API(Google Classroom), like posting comments on announcements, seeing private comments on my work and so on. I have trouble accessing my account. I'd like the app to be able to run on a server. I'm currently working with node.js, but if there is an easier approach I'll gladly accept it (free if it's possible). Can you give me an example of how it's done because currently, I am struggling to find every button that needs to be clicked on?
Unfortunately, there are no methods right now to accomplish that. You can leave a feature request on Google Issue Tracker describing what methods you would like to use. Google engineers will study your case and, if applicable, they will develop the requested methods.
You could use something like Selenium with your language of choice (Javascript in this case) to automate the browser clicks.
This is however, not the best of ideas... To make Selenium log into your account you will need to hardcode your password somewhere.
Google services use Oauth for authentication, take a look at the Classroom API Getting-started for instructions on how to work with Google Classroom API.
Thank you for giving me a piece of your time. This question really isn't a "how to", but more of a "is this possible or am I just insane?". I've recently looked at some portfolio pages and found a really great idea from https://flexdinesh.github.io/, but in the "portfolio" section instead of having just the characteristics of the project, is it possible to somehow use the Github API or some other equivalent to extract and present data like number of commits (or the table that github shows on your project page) and what project type it is (i.e. Java, Javascript, etc.) and maybe even some more related information. For background I am using React with Node.js. Again, this is probably useless to everyone out there, but I think it could be something cool if A) it actually exists, and B) it's not too much of a pain to implement. I've tried reading up on the documentation from Github, looking online, and looking at different source code, but no luck there. If anyone has any information or feedback I'm always open to help!
Thank you and have a good day
from what I understand, you want to display statistical information about the projects on your portfolio website.
Github provides an API that can get almost all the information you see on their website
so, to get all the languages being used in repository you can do a GET request on https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/languages,
To get the number of commits you can do a GET request on https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/commits
and so on
By default, these will get you the data of the public repositories, if you want to display info from your Private repositories, you need to provide an authentication token with each request.
You can read more about the API calls available here
let me know if you need any more help
I am asking this question because the information on tutorials is terribly vague for a novice. Concretely, I am trying to put up an extractor to use in Gmail Contextual App. Here is where it gets complicated. To make a Gmail Contextual App, I need to upload my app code as extractor on Google Apps Extensions Console, but I am just unable to access or know where is this page. All it say here is that
Point your browser to http://code.google.com/googleapps/console/a/yourDomainName.
Well I did exactly that, considering a project at code.google.com doesn't have any place to upload an extractor, and pointed to instead
http://code.google.com/googleapps/console/a/GodKnowsWhatTheHeckIsThis
Where GodKnowsWhatTheHeckIsThis is completly arbitrary, I was expecting some magic here that somehow I will be taken to a project that I have not even created.
Well what happened instead is: infinite recursion.
Can you please help me here? I will be terribly grateful.
I want to develop an application that will visualize the recommendations of Google instant. It is for a course project and for now, I don't know much about web programming tools. What I wonder is that is it possible to retrieve that data from another web page. If you think it is possible and it is possible with which platform, could you please guide me to the correct direction?
Without more information on what you're actually trying to do, it's difficult to give a proper answer. From what I can understand, you just want a list of the auto-completed items from a Google search, to manipulate however you like?
In which case, using the highest-rated answer from here, you can use http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q=YOURQUERY to give you a JSON object which you can then manipulate to get the auto-complete results. The client= part is needed, but I haven't looked at various options you can put in there.
Personally, I've never used JSON before, so can't give you any help on how to go about parsing it, but you can find more information about it on the JSON website, and w3 website.
Will need to act like javascript or run a javascript engine OR a browser add on and communication with that add on.
What happens as you type is a javascript function is called. So you need to call this function in your own or mimic what it does. I guess it calls a web service/ web page form programamtically (ajax) with what you have typed. The server responds with the suggestions. Not very difficult as long as Google does not deny you if it realizes your not a browser. i think they like only 100 free API calls but you can google google about that.
Http Components in java will help calling the serice, with cookeis etc. You should use the dev tools on firefox to see what happens under the hood when you type in the google search bar and see the code.
