In Amazon Mechanical Turk, when creating an External Question then it will send you each assignment like this:
http://tictactoe.amazon.com/gamesurvey.cgi?gameid=01523
&hitId=123RVWYBAZW00EXAMPLE
&assignmentId=123RVWYBAZW00EXAMPLE456RVWYBAZW00EXAMPLE
Surprisingly, it doesn't send me the workerId and I can't find any way to do this. The closest method is GetAssignmentsForHIT which only gives me the assignment already submitted but I need to render the assignment based on the worker history.
As msha points out, the sending of a workerID parameter to an ExternalQuestion page seems to be deprecated, or at least taken out of the latest version of the documentation.
However, a fellow researcher who's been using MTurk a lot says: "People seem to be using it in the forums. I would go ahead with it...if it ever actually disappears, I'm sure that the developer community will yell very loudly. :) "
I tried it empirically today (2011-08-19), and indeed a workerID is being sent to the ExternalQuestion page I set up on my own server, after the HIT has been accepted. This was in the sandbox. My ExternalQuestion page contained a Java Web Start button (as described here: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/deploymentInDepth/createWebStartLaunchButtonFunction.html ); I don't know if that made any difference.
A recent addition to the API is the GetAssignment call, which takes the assignment ID as an argument and will return the Worker ID inside the Assignment data structure.
According to the MTurk docs here,
When a Worker accepts your HIT, you can get the ID of the Worker. If
your HIT contains a Java Applet, an IFrame, or embedded binary data,
the URL contains a value for the workerId. If your HIT does not
contain these types of data, or if a Worker has not accepted the HIT,
the workerId element doesn't appear.
Haven't tried to confirm this myself yet.

SuiteScript v1, but I'll switch to SS v2 if it's the only way to make it work.
I've tried:
salesOrder.setFieldText('shipcarrier', 'More');
salesOrder.setFieldValue('shipcarrier', 'noups');
salesOrder.setFieldValue('shipcarrier', 'nonups');
But UPS is always selected once the record is saved.
shipcarrier is a bit of an odd thing.
I'm not sure it is actually sticky - in some contexts it appears to be and in some it doesn't.
It appears to be pointless to set unless you are also setting shipmethod.
salesOrder.setFieldValue('shipcarrier', ffShipCarrier); //'ups' || 'nonups'
salesOrder.setFieldValue('shipmethod', ffShipMethod)
PS from cja: My conclusion/solution: Setting shipmode does nothing unless recordmode is dynamic and shipmethod is set at the same time. If both those conditions are met then the value shipmode will be updated.
NetSuite support have warned me against using this solution:
"With regards to your concern, I am able to set the Ship carrier field on the Sales Order record in the client script(nlapiSetFieldValue('shipcarrier', 'ups');) however I was unable to set the value of the field in the server side script. Upon further investigation, the field (ship carrier) isn't exposed in the Record browser hence the field isn't officially exposed for scripting needs. Please refer to the following Suiteanswer article for your reference.
"I am really glad that the solution worked for you perfectly. In order to explain further, I would say it is not advisable to write scripts using unexposed fields in the record browser. It may change in the future without any prior notification and can cause problem and NetSuite will not hold any kind of responsibility for the same.

You need to use setFieldValue and pass the internal id of the "More" ship carrier.
nlapiSubmitField('salesorder', recordid, 'shipcarrier', 'nonups');
When parsing the message request object in my connector how can I reliable match a link to its title and description attribute? Are they always sorted in a special order in the parts array or is there only one link per message allowed?
I didn't find anything about this in the documentation.
Currently in unificationengine, it seems that you can send only one link at a time by using v2/message/send api command.
I'm working on an instagram scraper for something and I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to get all photos for a tag that have an id or timestamp later than the last one I have.
The instagram API docs are useless in that they don't have any real info on pagination (which I presume I'll have to abuse).
Does anyone have any ideas?
I've been slogging through the Instagram API for the last couple of days so here's my 2 cents worth:
As far as I can see it if you call the api with /tags/tag-name/media/recent it only return a list if items. If the amount exceeds about 25 you have to make another request with the pagination value returned in the previous request.
In order to gain some control I am initially iterating through all images and storing the results (just the URL not the actual image) to a database. Now I can manipulate however I want. When I feel like updating (I'm doing it manually now but could be a cron job or use the real-time api) I re-read all the images, compare to what I have in my DB and add possible new images. My app then reads out the url and info from my DB (which btw is a heck of a lot faster than going through the instagram api, which will only return about 25 images per request - regardless of any 'count' parameter value you put in the request url) and displays it.
I am developing this for a client who is afraid of people posting nsfw or whatever pics using their dedicated hashtag (for a contest) - with the above set up I can offer them an interface where they can check and mark images that are then displayed in the app.
One thing to watch out for is when a user deletes his picture; you will have to find a way to check for this. Currently (since I'm lazy) I load all images and use jquery to check for an error loading the image. If there is one I delete the image from the DB (via ajax).
I'm not sure the pagination is going to help you: as far as I can see the pagination response has no relation to the id's of the actual image objects on each page - so theoretically a pagination id that jumps to a certain page (i.e. date) might not work tomorrow if enough images have been deleted in the mean time.
to get all images instead of latest 20, just append &count=-1 to your api call - it's that simple.
In either case, there is a timestamp on each json object - or if you prefer, you can use max_tag_id
check out my post here: there any way to show more than 20 photos of the instagram API?
* Update April 2014: count=-1 is no longer available.
I'm trying to use the existing example browse.c to get the number of albums of an artist by given an artist uri. The return value of sp_artistbrowse_num_albums(browse) is different every time when I run the command browse spotify:artist:3fMbdgg4jU18AjLCKBhRSm. Why?
Do I understand correctly that the callback artistbrowse_complete_cb is invoked once only when browsing is complete, but callback metadata_updated is invoked whenever metadata is updated?
Thanks.

That's correct. As I've said before, metadata_updated means "some metadata has been updated somewhere", and there are more specific callbacks like artistbrowse_complete_cb for more targeted operations like artist browsing.
As to why it keeps changing — it's a bit odd as the number of albums for an artist doesn't normally oscillate much, but albums can be added and removed on a daily basis. It's best to just accept what you're told and keep your UI up-to-date.
I am working on a new web app in lotus/domino. I am newer to lotus/domino programming, so forgive me for not knowing something simple.
What I am trying to do is display a table of information, with one of the columns containing a link. The link is formatted like [http://server/app.nsf/form?openform&ideaNum=1&var2=foo2]
How can I retrieve the information from the url, to get information from a view or a document?
So far I have tried to access the query string in the webQueryOpen event, but lotus runs the agent before the DOM writes to the browser, the query_string isn't available.
I am not sure how else to get information from one form to another in lotus.
Thanks for the help.

If you're passing multiple params in the query_string, you can get Domino to do a bit more of the work for you. There's an Function command - UrlQueryString - that can format the params into a list, delimiting at the "&".
E.g. server/app.nsf/form?openform&ideaNum=1&var2=foo2
becomes a list:
openform
ideaNum=1
var2=foo2
To use it, on the destination form create a multi-value text field called something like "QryStringList".
Set it to be computed when composed, and set it's value to #UrlQueryString.
In your WebQueryOpen agent, you can access the params as doc.QryStringList(0), docQryStringList(1) and so on, if you're using Lotusscript.
I'm fairly sure I put this together using info from the IBM/ldd forum, but the exact source is lost in the mists of time and memory, so apologies if I've copied someone's post.
Just as a follow up, I found that you are able to specify an on form variable named the same as QUERY_STRING. The variable is actually a reserved term for Lotus, so Lotus pre-fetches the variable before running the information out the browser.
Due to the pre-fetching, you are able to access the url information during the webQueryOpen event.
I hope this helps someone else looking for the same type of functionality.
