I want to bulk create thousands of web stories (of the AMP/Google variety) using a standardized AMP web stories template populated with text and images from my database.
Anyone have any ideas? I am not a coder, but may be able to follow if you assume I know nothing :) Thanks for your consideration and time.
I have looked in GitHub and at several online services that provide tools to make web stories, but none offer it. VisualStories claims to offer an API that does this, but when I asked for paid access said they were not sharing this with customers anymore because they found that creating stories individually produced better results.
Thanks!

How to scrape OTT streaming platforms(Netflix, Prime video, HULU, Hotstar, etc.) catalogue list with details like flixjini, justwatchit and other's do?
Some of the above services used to offer API's to 3rd party search services to help list their content but it does seem that most now do not.
Without this you may find you have to create your own web crawler and also have accounts for every service and region you want to crawl, which may make it unviable commercially. You also probably need to check the applicable laws in any regions you want to do this.
There are some open source web crawling solutions you could look at and also engage with the community on - e.g.

We're trying to setup a referral tracking program for a chrome extension we developed. To track reoccurring subscriptions we'd like to be able to poll the Subscription Status and I was able to find google.payments.inapp.getPurchases in their documentation here: https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/payments-iap#get-purchases
I was wondering if it was possible to poll for the order number associated with the purchase. This seems to be a way to uniquely tie and track a user to a subscription and also lets us correlate the info available on pay.google.com
Any suggestions or information is appreciated! Thanks.
Response I got back from the Chrome Developer Support:
Thank you for contacting Chrome Web Store Developer Support! In
regards to your question, unfortunately, we are not supporting polling
the associated order number at the time. However, I absolutely agree
with you that it would be very helpful for our developers in the CWS.
I'll be glad to convey your message to the pertinent team to discuss
this topic.
I am tasked with the development of a web page.
As a part of this, I also need to collect the details of browser used by the users to browse the web page (along with version, timestamp & IP).
Tried searching over the internet but maybe my search was not properly directed.
I am not sure how to go about this.
Any pointer to get me started here would help me a long way.
I would also like to know how to store the information thus collected.
Not sure if this is a good idea - but just thinking out loud - are there any online service/channel available where the data can be uploaded in real time - like thingspeak.
Thanks
Google Analytics is great, but it doens't give you the data (for free). So if you want your data in e.g. SQL format then I may suggest a you use a tool that collects the data for you and then sends it to Google Analytics.
We use Segment (segment.io, but there are probably other tools out there too) for this, they have a free plan. You will need to create a Warehouse in AWS and all your data will be stored there, incl. details of the browser (version, timestamp, IP).
Disclaimer: I do not work for Segment, but I am a customer.
Enable Google Analytics in your website, then after 1 week, take a look at the Google Analytics page to see data that was collected.
Follow the guide here to configure Google Analytics on your website: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1008080?hl=en
You should go for alternatives like Segment(https://segment.com/), Mixpanel(https://mixpanel.com/) and similars. They can guarantee consistency for your data and also integrate to many different analytics tools and platforms.
I am looking for a simple system to manage inbound emails from a support mailbox for a group with about 3 support people. I've looked at OTRS which seems to have the features that we need. Unfortunately, so far the UI still looks like a confusing mess.
Are there any good FOSS tools that would meet this need? I've heard murmurings that something called fooogzeeebugzo might have similar features, but it seems quite expensive for such simple needs.
Did you try IssueBurner? It was designed for this purpose. You can forward your mailbox (e.g. support#yourcompany.com) to a IssueBurner group and you can track the inbound mails until they are closed.
Here is a link to their video: http://issueburner.com/a/video
I have to agree, Fogbugz is probably the best out there. I have used both the hosted version and the purchased version which I hosted. It is top-notch.
BugTracker.NET is free, open source, and widely used. It has integration with incoming email. In other words, it will accept an incoming email and turn it into a support ticket.
My company recently started using Mojo Helpdesk: www.mojohelpdesk.com. It's a hosted service, not FOSS, but it's pretty cheap and the interface is slick.
TicketDesk- C# issue tracking system and support system
http://www.codeplex.com/TicketDesk
TicketDesk is efficient and designed to do only one thing, facilitate communications between help desk staff and end users. The overriding design goal is to be as simple and frictionless for both users and help desk staff as is possible.
TicketDesk is an asp.net web application written in C# targeting the .net 3.5 framework. It includes a simple database with support for SQL 2005 Express or SQL Server 2005. It can leverage SQL server for membership and role based security or integrate with windows authentication and Active Directory groups.
RT - Request Tracker handles inbound mail. I'm working to add inbound mail support to TicketDesk, but that might be a little while before that makes it into a release.
FogBugz is great as others have mentioned. I use it for my bug/feature tracking system, but I like to separate out my support ticketing system for my support staff to use. Another tool that has great email integration also is called HelpSpot, they have hosted and non-hosted versions for purchase, depending on your budget. It has a lot of great features, that make the prices worth it. Take the tour and see for yourself.
Scope out SmarterTrack, Help Desk Software from SmarterTools:
We use FogBugz...er, "fooogzeeebugzo"...and while it may be a bit expensive for your needs, it works very well.
bugzilla is more of an issue tracker than a request tracker, but it can be configured to handle email-based status tracking. That said, I think Steven has it- RT is the standard recommendation for this that I've seen.
The on-demand version of Fogbugz is a pretty cheap option for just a few people, and works really well. We did that for a while before moving it inhouse.
I've used fogbugz for over 12 months now and more and more I'm finding one of the most valuable features is the in built email support. I've got an on demand account and I'm finding more and more that I don't even check my email in the morning as all my business correspondence is put straight into fogbugz.
I realize that FOSS is your primary desire and I definitely agree with this. If I were to limit myself to FOSS, I would go with RT 3.8, http://blog.bestpractical.com/2008/07/today-were-rele.html#screenshots
However, if you are willing to entertain commercial solutions and are looking for a Helpdesk-"ish" application. I just deployed WebHelpDesk with great success at my current employment, where I am the primary sysadmin and Corporate IT person. They just released a new version, 9.1.1 and it is very well done. The email integration is superb and beyond what I have seen with most other FOSS and commercial issue/bug trackers, given that it is built to run a Helpdesk and not be a software or source code issue tracker. It runs on Windows and *nix, they have a great demo and you can obtain a 30 day trial installer. I have become a big fan of this software and think it has a reasonable price of $250/year/technician (support person).
If you want more info on how we deployed it, please email me and I'd be happy to discuss it at length. I have no more connection with them than I am a very happy customer.
Thanks for all the tips. For the moment, I am looking heavily at eTicket as it was trivial to setup and seems to be developing nicely at the moment. I may look at RT as well, though.
I'll second the suggestion for RT. See my post here for more thoughts and details on our setup.
From my personal experience I can recommend using Bridgetrak.
It works pretty smooth in our environment and includes rich helpdesk functionality for powerful tickets tracking.
I have a lot of experience using this tools - feel free to ask any questions!
As most of the answers are a little bit outdated, I would definitely recommend OsTicket (http://osticket.com/), a great open source project that offers lots of customization and a user friendly interface.
I have been using it for the last two years and I would rather choose OsTicket than OTRS or RT.
