Analytics of one particular video? - analytics

Has anyone using the Vimeo API created a way to "pull" the analytics from 1 single video (i.e. # of views, unique views, full (to the end) views, etc.)?...
I'm thinking this would be useful to embed in a password protected area on my site for some of my clients for their particular video...just the stats (up until the last day, doesn't have to be real time as-of-this-second) ...
I'm new to the Vimeo API, but definitely not new to coding + backend development work. I thought I'd try to not reinvent the wheel if this has already been done. :)
Thx, and cheers :)

Firebase Realtime array populate div

Okay so I’m need guidance on where to start.
What I want to do is upon clicking a button in my web app which will be labelled “search” the web app will connect to my realism database and search the data base for the “search criteria” and the once found all matching cases it will create div blocks with the information inside it, in a list view and assign the ID of the div to the UID it gets back from the database.
database:
Users
--> Country
---->State
----->City
------>Post/ZipCode
------->UID
--------> Users informantion
Welcome to StackOverflow!
A great place to get started is the Firebase Realtime Database doocumentation or searching for Firecasts on YouTube (linked below).
As requested, here are some questions to ask yourself to get started and help scope out and define your new Firebase project.
What language are you going to use?
Are you planning on using any frameworks/libraries? e.g. For Javascript, these would include things like jQuery, Polymer, and React
What information are you storing in your database? e.g. user profiles, private user data/settings, public indexes, username lists, etc.
How is your database structured?
What data is being searched? The entire database? Values in a certain location?
What data needs to be displayed in your view?
Is the data accessible for just the current user or is it a public database that anyone can use?
What search criteria will be used? Is it just one filter at a time or many?
The answers to these questions aren't set in stone, but are to help you start thinking about the future of your project. They can be changed at any time as this isn't SQL where everything has to have its own schema.
If you intend on using "advanced searches" where you'll filter by multiple parameters at the same time, consider using Cloud Firestore instead.
I recommend looking at some Firecasts to help guide you through these questions. Here are some links to them:

Building an e-commerce store ( not on WP )

I will need to build an ecommerce store. I cant really wrap it around my head so far, but my main vision:
I would pay a monthly fee for a solution (something like woocommerce or shopify) so I can keep my products online in their database. Also this solution would have all the needed things bundled (like emails, order trackings, inventory, reimbursement). It would generate an email or other sign to my client when an order happens. I can imagine this happening on Wordpress with some pre-built templates.
Here comes the second part, because I would prefer to build the front-end on my own. Do You know any solution where I can simply communicate with GET / POST requests to the endpoints. So when webshop loads the products would be rendered with CSS to the users. In case of order (linked to STRIPE most probably) the required details (SKU, Quantity, user info) is saved and sent towards the solution.
How would You build it? What would You recommend as a service?
Regards,
Koppany
I'm much aware of one company known as Scale Labs which provides the cross-border e-commerce solutions and all kinds of services related the e-commerce sector.
You can also take the help of alternatives to Scale Labs which includes Pitney Bowes, Acommerce asia, etc but personally, I have gone through the Scale Labs. They helped me from scratch and now am earning a good profit from my store. Here's the link to their official website: Cross-Border e-commerce solutions.
If you are still confused then let me know. Thanks

Filemaker and Google Calendar. How do I make them communicate?

I am somewhat new to programming, have some experience with VBA, but thats it. I am learning Filemaker at the moment and I am getting along quite nicely. I want to let FM automaticly enter certain appointments and reminders into my google calendar.
Now, I know that the calendar has an API, and I know that that API is the interface with which I can communicate with it. But I am lacking a step in my knowledge ladder, because the documentation is thoroughly confusing. I need to know what to use, in order to tell the calendar what to enter where. Is it like some compound url I construct? How do I login?
These are all questions that pop up. I don't expect you to answer those, but rather if you can point me to the right tutorials I can read to get this knowledge.
I hope I didn't burden you guys too much.
thx in advance
I'm one of the authors of Zulu, a product we built specifically to sync FileMaker to Google Calendar, using a bi-directional sync. You can also turn Zulu into your own CalDAV server if you want to go that route.
Good luck!
Don't take this wrong but you may be biting off too much. I have been programming for 30 years and it took me a couple of days to gather the information needed to interact with the Google APIs (the OAuth2 authentication can be really confusing at first).
My sugestion would be to look at importing calendars into Google Calendars using either CSV (https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/45656) or ICS (https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/45656) format. You should be able to generate those formats with a little bit of Filemaker scripting.
But since you asked:
You need the OAUTH2 offline access, with a refresh token you would
store somewhere.
You will use the refresh token to get an auth token
You will make requests using HTTPS GETS or POSTS (see the Calendar
API explorer), with the auth token in the Authorization header.
Since there is no Google Calendar API for FileMaker :-), you would
have to know some details of the HTTP protocol to send a properly
formatted request, you will be working at a lower level than you
would be if using a Python, Java or .NET library.
You will get back
JSON responses which you will have to parse.
There are a couple of ways you can try to do this quickly:
Use Zapier (http://zpr.io/VhK - affiliate link) to create a webhook, then use a hidden webviewer in FileMaker to create the event. Try this as an example: http://zpr.io/fqg7
Use a plug-in, like this one https://www.feedzon.com/products/fmgcal/. I've never used that particular one before, but it looks fairly straightforward.
If you want to go whole-hog, it is also possible to use scripts in FileMaker to write to the Google Calendar API, but it's a lot more work. The plugin is probably the easiest route to go.
If you don't want to use a plugin, I would recommend starting with a Zapier webhook, as it greatly simplifies the work needed to hook into the Google Calendar API.

Code that can access all major online calendars?

I'm working on a service that needs to be able to read items from users' calendars. It needs to work whether the user is using Google Calendar, Exchange, Hotmail/Live, iCal, etc...
I want to do this (effectively):
calendar = Login(emailaddress, password); // Works for #hotmail.com, #gmail.com...
// For every item in the users' calendar extract the location of the meeting
for each (item in calendar)
location = item.Location;
I figure someone must have built some code that abstracts away the varied ways you login to these services and access the objects. But I haven't found anything yet. Any pointers would be appreciated. I don't really care what it's written in (Ruby, Python, C#, Java) as long as I can wrap it.
UPDATE: I've been able to get something working against the Google Calendar using the Google Calendar API. In the process I came across CalDAV and the fact that Google, Yahoo, and Apple support it. I'm going to focus on CalDAV for now, and then probably plumb in Hotmail/Live and Exchange later. I really only need the calendar event times and location so this should not be too challenging.
UPDATE 2: I have discovered DDay.iCal. I'd like to use this as my top level abstraction within my app. But I still have not found anything that will help me connect to, and interact with each of the popular mail systems. Nor have I found any code that shows how to layer DDay.ICal over CalDAV (which, theoretically, would give me Google, Yahoo, and Apple). Anyone?
There is a calendar REST API for Hotmail which is available in beta form as part of the developer preview of the Live SDK. This is also a beta interactive SDK for the REST API which you can try out at http://beta.isdk.dev.live.com. Just try out the query "/me/calendars"

DoubleClick/YieldManager/Ad.com Tracking Pixels - What exactly do they track?

Our marketing team has placed a lot of these tracking pixels on our site. Most of them just make a simple HTTP GET to a URL, usually by using a IMG tag, but some document.write in an iframe/script node as well.
What I would like to know, is what exactly these track. Source IP? What if you are behind a proxy?
These sites cause the visitors browser to go to the site to load the image or javascript. What the site does is store a cookie and/or fingerprint of the visitor. Your site also tells the tracking site something about the visitor -- whether they purchased something or particular aspects of the pages that were vistited. The tracking site than can connect this visit with other visits to your sites, other sites, banner ads or more.
It's called a Web bug.
