I need some raw data to visualize it with google charts and some other APIs. Problem is that i some raw data that includes timestamps too.
For example visitors visiting a website i.e. from which device (mobile/computer etc) they accessed website, at what time (hours:minutes:second:miliseconds) and what which links they visited etc. Please help me to know if someone knows about such kind of dummy raw data on web.
You can build your own dataset using Google Spreadsheets.
For example, consider the spreadsheet from the link below:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Aj9J3uCNjN9_dG1rdmNtTlhyNWpkTUVHVHBwRzNWX2c&output=html
If you tweak the link, it can provide you with the JSON representation of the data.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/tq?key=0Aj9J3uCNjN9_dG1rdmNtTlhyNWpkTUVHVHBwRzNWX2c&pub1
Basically, what you have to do in order to get the JSON response is replace the "pub" element to "tq" and remove the "output=html" element at the end adding "pub1" instead.
With this procedure you should be able to create your own datasource for your tests.
You can find more information on the Google Chart API documentation:
https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/spreadsheets
Hope it helps

I want to load data from a table in my DB using PHP.
+ I want to then edit the data and save it back to the table.
I can't seem to find any examples.
The examples load data that is hard coded in the HTML.
I see there is code to add rows and edit - but I see nothing for saving.
I'm hoping someone can help and give me some pointers.
(Apologies in advance if the information is there - I've looked and can't see - it's 2am and I'm not thinking straight!)
Thanks.
There is an example for loading data into a Tabulator table via ajax here
As for saving it back that depends entirely on how you handle things server side.
you can use the getData function on the table to retrieve an array of data from the table
var data = table.getData();
you would then make an ajax request to pass this data back to the server, it would then be up to you how you go about saving this to the database,there are as many ways to do this as there are backend frameworks so it would depend on what you are already using
we are currently building an application on the google cloud platform, which generates reports in Google Doc. For them, it is really important to have a table of content ... with page numbers. I know this is a feature request since a few years and there are add-ons (Paragraph Styles +, which didn't work for us) that provide this solution, butt we are considering to build this ourselves. if anybody has a suggestion on how we could start with this, it would be a great help!
thanks,
Best bet is to file a feature request on the product forums.
Currently the only way to do that level of manipulation of a doc to provide a custom TOC is to use Apps Script. It provides access to the document structure sufficient enough to build and insert a basic table of contents, but I'm not sure there's enough to do paging correctly (unless you force a page break on ever page...) There's no method to answer the question of "what page is this element on?"
Hacks like writing to a DOCX and converting don't work because TOCs are recognized for what they and show up without page numbers.
Of course you could write a DOCX or PDF with the TOC as you'd like and upload as a blob rather than as a Google Doc. They can still be viewed in Drive and such.
Anyone know how to extract data from a webpage using Import.io where the data is loaded into the page via Ajax?
I am unable to extract data from below mentioned pages.
There is no issue in first page data extraction, but how do I move on to extract data from second page?
URL is given below.
<http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=&seller=A13JB7253Q5S1B>
The data on that page is deployed using an interesting mix of technologies; it relies heavily on server side code and Javascript. That type of page can be a challenge, however, there are always methods to get the data. For example, some sellers have a page like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/node/index.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A2WO1PQ2OIOIGM&merchant=A2WO1PQ2OIOIGM
Which is very easy to extract data from, even using the magic algorithm - https://magic.import.io/?site=http:%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2Fgp%2Fnode%2Findex.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26marketplaceID%3DA1F83G8C2ARO7P%26me%3DA2WO1PQ2OIOIGM%26merchant%3DA2WO1PQ2OIOIGM
I had to take off the redirect=true from the URLs before it would work - just an FYI.
Other times some stores don't have such a URL, its a bit of a pain, and there URLs can be tough to figure out.
We do help some of our enterprise customers build bespoke APIs when the data is very important to them, so do feel free to get in touch. I imagine a larger scale workaround would be to create a dataset/API based on a the categories you are interested in and then to filter that larger dataset down (python or CSV style) by seller name. That would probably work!
I managed to get a static dataset but no API. You can find that dataset at the following GUID: c7c63f1c-7081-4d4a-ad91-afe9789a6620

Is it possible for me to create a list of google search results from a specific query and export it into excel? For example, I'd like to google orthodontists in Florida and be able to export the business name, phone number and address to an excel spreadsheet. I've done a lot of searching but I can't find any solutions. I'm looking for someone to point me in the right direction. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
An API is an Application Programming Interface and it's a way for your software to interact with the software on a server. Google has an API called the "Custom Search Engine" which you can use for 100 free queries per day. Other search engines may have more generous free APIs. With a search API you can write a code to download text that contain all the relevant data. You can read more about search engine APIs here.
Another way to collect data from google is to scrape their page. This means that you use a code to download the HTML, and from that HTML you collect the relevant pieces (wikipedia link). With a programming language like python, many people use the Beautiful Soup library for scraping. With code then you can take the relevant parts of the HTML and put it into a format like CSV that is readable by Excel. With python there are ways to write to Excel, directly, too (link).
Finally, here is a link from 2007 that says with Google Spreadsheets you can import HTML.
Update: here is the MS Excel version.
The following web app https://www.resultstoexcel.com/ allows you to download Google search results to a CSV file, a Microsoft Excel readable format, for free.
If you have any problem viewing the downloaded results correctly in MS Excel, please read the FAQs section where you will find how to open the file using the correct column separators.
Where are the results coming from?
A Google search on the topic retrieves many companies that offer online access to Google Search Results through an Application Programming Interface (API). This web app uses SERPSBOT API.
NOTE: sorry as this is not a programming question but i am not aware about the site to post this query. so i thought any of you could help me out with this.
QUERY:
i have created an excel sheet using google docs to help users to fill their details online. but my problem is that every user has access to this sheet.
some users tampered the sheet and deleted all data.
is there a mechanism provided by google docs to prevent tampering of data?
what should i do?
should i use something else to store user's data so that no user can tamper the data?
Use the Google Form function and set your Google spreadsheet to private
If you go to Data > Protected Sheets and Ranges you can adjust the settings of who can monkey with the data. Probably the best thing to do, however, is to use a Google Form, which will allow you to gather data in a structured format and dump it to the spreadsheet. That is really your best bet...
