I don't know where to start...
I have a friend who runs an online radio station. He needs to be able to allow his listeners to somehow automatically request songs - no more than 2x per hour. I do not run the site, but might be able to help him with this project if it is even possible. There has to be a way to list all available songs within his website with buttons next to each song to make requests.
Hope you guys can help, or at least point me in the right direction.
Cheers.

Update:
I have found a better website for getting the data. If you press my link, you can see in the top of the screen there are multiple future games. I would like to get details about the games that BC Copenhagen plays. The details should be live stats (points, players' points...). Is this possible?
Website: https://basketligaen.dk/
I have a pretty difficult question.
I want to fetch live data from a basketball game website. However, this is very tricky, because first of all:
The live games change all the time, and I'm only interested when one team is playing: "BC Copenhagen". (However, if I get more data from different teams, that would work as well)
When you click on the list, you get moved to a detailed screen about the live game. And this is the data I'm interested in.
So I need to somehow get data from the live games. Is it even possible to do this with Excell commands, or do I need to work with APIs like Zapier or Make? However, I have no idea how to do this.
Do you maybe have to give the Link to the game every time the game starts? But this would really not be a reliable solution.
Note: I'm using this data for a Glide App
Website: https://official.mvpapp.dk/live.php
You could try IMPORTHTML, but the link provided above shows no data for me. Most likely this requires much more scripting than that. Ideally, there would be an API data feed that could be used. Again, I see no data, so I can't say for sure.
A worst case scenario would be using #google-apps-scripts to parse the listing of games, grab the game you want, and get the data from that page. That would be out of scope of a Stack Overflow question.
I want to build a similar post recommendation system that a user sees after performing some activity on the news feed. For example: If he/she spends more time on sports posts, giving him/her sports recommended post so I would like to get help on what kind of dataset do I need to build a post recommendation system that a user likes to see. I am confused on should I build a dataset of my own if yes how can I build these recommendation posts? Thank you in advance!!
Hello and welcome to the forum! I recommend against building a dataset of your own as real world datasets have certain properties (distribution, missing data, noise) which are quite hard to replicate artificially.
You included Kaggle in your tags. Why don't you use it? It looks perfect for the job. Here's a list of options with the #recommender-systems tag.
This one and this one are about films. This other one is about user interactions with a news platform.

I have written a smart speaker app for Google Home using DialogFlow, and am now in the process of porting it over to Alexa.
One of the fundamental differences seems to be the inability to easily trigger follow-up intents. For example, I have a dialog that asks the user a series of questions, one after the other, before providing a result based on the answers provided. e.g. ({slot types})
Do you like a low maintenance or working garden? {low maintenance}{working}
Do you like a garden you can relax in? {yes/no}
Would you like to grow vegetables in your garden? {yes/no}
This is easy to achieve using DialogFlow follow-up intents, but I have no clue where to start with Alexa and there dont seem to be many examples out there. All I can find seems to focus on slot filling for a single dialog.
I am using my own API service to serve results (vs Lambda).
Can anybody recommend a way of achieving this in an Alexa Skill?
I managed to achieve this by adding a single utterance with three individual slots, one for each of the answers required:-
inspire me {InspireMaintenance} {InspireRelax} {InspireVeg}
These Slots back onto one SlotType - Custom_YesNo, which had Yes and No values + synonyms. My C# service then checks for each of these required slots and where one is missing it triggers the relevant question as a response. Once all slots are filled it provides the answer.
Not as intuitive as Dialogflow and requires code to achieve what can be done without code in DF, but at least it works :)
My issue is that at my current job, we have to go to 7 different sites, depending on the carrier, to find out a part number through a model number. Each site allows you to search a database with a model number and if it is found it you can see the part number for it. This really helps us out, but I'm looking for a way to make it more convienient for us. Each site requires a login. How can I search all the sites, sites databases at once or how can I make something, webpage or program, that has a tab for each site and when clicked it takes me right to the search feature of the site. Any suggestions are appreciated. I really need to be pointed in the right direction. I almost forgot, if you know a site or program that does this for hvac part or appliances please let me know!
You won't be able to integrate directly with each site most likely, so you're stuck having to login to each and do your work.
But there is some hope!
Check out Selenium (http://docs.seleniumhq.org/) for automating web tasks. For example, you should be able to "record" yourself logging in and clicking to a page - and then in the future you just run a script and Selenium will do it for you. Should save a few steps.
You'd still need a tab open per site, but it should help.
Hey guys, I have a client who wants their front site to have a tracker on disaster weather like hurricanes when they occur. Essentially they want a way to manage this without getting a developer to do it everytime a new storm develops.
I know there are plenty of ways to get a weather updates on website when you have a set location.. thats easy. Its different when you dont know the storms in advance! Location would be different every time.
Does anyone have any idea on how to do this?
I would probably monitor an RSS feed.
TWC has some nice RSS feeds setup that look like they will facilitate your needs: http://www.weather.com/weather/rss/subscription/
The National Hurricane Center also has RSS feeds: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutrss.shtml
