I am trying to send data to Google Analytics from a WPF application. I can't find any resource online which clearly defines how to do that. I know that there are numerous NuGet packages available, but I'm not sure which to use, nor how to implement them. I also know that there are some third-party "helper" libraries available (see Using Google Analytics from a .NET desktop application), which I'm not interested in. It also looks like most instructions online are showing how to "pull" data from GA, not how to push. Not looking for "maybe"'s or workarounds but what the normal straightforward way to do this is. This shouldn't be complicated. Just need a "Hello World".
Can you please point me in the right direction? Thanks,
This worked for me:
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.google-analytics.com/collect");
request.Method = "POST";
// the request body we want to send
var postData = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "v", "1" }, //analytics protocol version
{ "tid", "UA-XXXXXXXX-X" }, //analytics tracking property id
{ "cid", "XXXX"}, //unique user identifier
{ "t", "event" }, //event type
{ "ec", category },
{ "ea", action },
};
var postDataString = postData
.Aggregate("", (data, next) => string.Format("{0}&{1}={2}", data, next.Key,
Uri.EscapeDataString(next.Value)))
.TrimEnd('&');
// set the Content-Length header to the correct value
request.ContentLength = Encoding.UTF8.GetByteCount(postDataString);
// write the request body to the request
using (var writer = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
{
writer.Write(postDataString);
}
var webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
if (webResponse.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
throw new Exception($"Google Analytics tracking did not return OK 200. Returned: {webResponse.StatusCode}");
}

I'm trying out IdentityServer4 demo project and I'm adding user claims to ProfileDataRequestContext.IssuedClaims in IProfileService implementation. One thing I've noticed is that there is a context.RequestedClaimTypes collection, which is always empty in any resource/identity/scope configuration variations I've tried. Under what condition does this collection has data?
If in the definition of your ApiResources you define UserClaims, these will then be populated in the context.RequestClaimTypes.
For example:
new ApiResource
{
Name = "TestAPI",
ApiSecrets = { new Secret("secret".Sha256()) },
UserClaims = {
JwtClaimTypes.Email,
JwtClaimTypes.EmailVerified,
JwtClaimTypes.PhoneNumber,
JwtClaimTypes.PhoneNumberVerified,
JwtClaimTypes.GivenName,
JwtClaimTypes.FamilyName,
JwtClaimTypes.PreferredUserName
},
Description = "Test API",
DisplayName = "Test API",
Enabled = true,
Scopes = { new Scope("testApiScore) }
}
Then your ProfileDataRequestContext.RequestClaimTypes will contain these request claims, for your Identity Server to fulfil how you see fit.
I've found out that it if you set client.GetClaimsFromUserInfoEndpoint = true and additional roundtrip is made to /connect/userinfo endpoint and the request has requested value "sub".
Answer: https://github.com/IdentityServer/IdentityServer4/issues/1067
Whenever you request a scope that has associated claims.
I am very new at this and I am trying my best to work it out. It would be glad if someone can really save my day.
Trying to call an API using a trigger and get data using google scripts this is the best I came up with.
Basically I have an api which gives me objects if I putit in Postman. All I need to do it get those object in google spreadsheets.
I have tried onOpen function which was giving me an error of" You do not have permission to call Fetch".
So have been trying with on edit of first column as "Get Data" so the api can be called.
Thanks in advance
function onEdit(e) {
var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
if (s.getName() == "Sheet1") { //checks that we're on the correct sheet
var r = s.getActiveCell();
//Updates timestamp for lead entry and meetings.
var currentCellValue = r.getValue();
var user = Session.getEffectiveUser();
if (r.getColumn() == 1 && (currentCellValue == 'Get Data')) { //checks the column
var nextCell = r.offset(0, 4);
if (nextCell.getValue() == '') { //is empty?
nextCell.setValue(Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "GMT+5:30", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss")).setComment(user);
var url = "My API";
var headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "userkey"
};
var options = {"method":"GET","headers": headers
};
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
Logger.log(response[0]);
}
}
}
}
This appears to be a long standing issue that still hasn't been taken care of, see here
Someone in the thread mentions
But, using a custom function name like myOnEdit(), and connecting it
to the onEdit event manually, totally works!
function myOnEdit(e) { ... var x = fetchUrlApp.fetch(...); ... }
So you have to create myOnEdit and then put an onEdit trigger on it, either via Resources > Current Project's triggers or via the trigger service.
I'm looking for doing something like this website : WEBSITE GMAPS
For the moment i can get everything around 500meters like if it's a bus stop or something else but i can't retrieve the Bus line.
var mapControl = $scope.map.control.getGMap();
service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(mapControl);
var transitLayer = new google.maps.TransitLayer();
transitLayer.setMap(mapControl);
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
service.search(request, callback);
function callback(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
$scope.placesTransit = [];
$scope.timeTotal = [];
angular.forEach(results, function(result, key) {
var timeTotal;
directionsService.route(
{
origin: new google.maps.LatLng($scope.map.center.latitude, $scope.map.center.longitude),
destination: result.geometry.location,
travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.WALKING,
unitSystem: google.maps.UnitSystem.METRIC
}, function (response, status)
{
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK)
{
result.timeTotal = response.routes[0].legs[0].duration.text;
if (result.types[0] === "subway_station") {
result.typeTransport = "Métro";
}
console.log(result);
$scope.placesTransit.push(result);
}
});
});
}
}
If someone can helps me how to do that :
Apparently i can retrieve this information on this page , but there's nothing to get this with Google MAP API v3 . Any Idea ? Thanks
Yes, Google has a place where you can get the information about public transportation.
First, you need to check if your city is supported:
https://maps.google.com/landing/transit/cities/
Then, if it is supported you can get more information here:
https://maps.google.com/landing/transit/index.html
To access it programatically, you can both the following APIs:
https://developers.google.com/transit/
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/
I would go with the second one.
With this in mind, if the company you are trying to check is registered, you will be able to easily access all of its bus routes (and more).
If the company is not listed however, it means that they coded the path on the map that you see, and you must do the same using overlays:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/overlay-simple
Hope it helps!
I am trying to call a Google Cloud Endpoint API (developed on App Engine) via Google Apps Script. The endpoint is up and running, honestly I don't know which URL I should use but through Google Chrome Web Tools it looks like the URL is something like:
https://myapp.appspot.com/_ah/api/myendpointapi/v1/myEndPointMethod/
Along with API parameters directly included in the URL, separeted by slashes:
https://myapp.appspot.com/_ah/api/myendpointapi/v1/myEndPointMethod/param1value/param2value/...
Now, in order to call that API from Google App Script I am using the following code snippet:
function myFunction() {
var params =
{
"param1" : "param1value",
"param2" : "param2value",
};
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://myapp.appspot.com/_ah/api/myendpointapi/v1/myEndPointMethod/', params);
DocumentApp.getUi().alert(result);
}
However I always get a 404 error. If I have to be honest I don't even know if UrlFetchApp is the correct way of calling the API. I noticed this thread on StackOverflow but no one answered. What's the correct URL to use? Many thanks.
EDIT: Now I am trying with an API method which does not require any parameter. I found a way to call a specific URL (using method='get' as suggested by the answer below) but now I get a 401 error because it says I am not logged in. I believe I need to use some kind of OAuth parameter now. Any idea? I tryed using OAuthConfig but no luck with that as well :( From App Engine logs I can see the following error:
com.google.api.server.spi.auth.GoogleIdTokenUtils verifyToken: verifyToken: null
com.google.api.server.spi.auth.AppEngineAuthUtils getIdTokenEmail:
getCurrentUser: idToken=null
function myFunction() {
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch('myurl', googleOAuth_());
result = result.getContentText();
}
function googleOAuth_() {
var SCOPE = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive';
var NAME = 'myAPIName';
var oAuthConfig = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService(NAME);
oAuthConfig.setRequestTokenUrl('https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope='+SCOPE);
oAuthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl('https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken');
oAuthConfig.setAccessTokenUrl('https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken');
oAuthConfig.setConsumerKey('anonymous');
oAuthConfig.setConsumerSecret('anonymous');
return {oAuthServiceName:NAME, oAuthUseToken:'always'};
}
UrlFetchApp is the only way to call a Google Cloud Endpoints API at the moment. The second parameter to UrlFetchApp.fetch is a special key-value map of advanced options. To pass POST parameters, you need to do the following:
UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
method: 'post',
payload: {
"param1" : "param1value",
"param2" : "param2value",
}
});
I was fighting a similar (not the same) problem, when testing feasibility of a GCM backed by EndPoints server. Basically testing if it is possible to get the Google Spreadsheet Appscript to send notification to an Android device. Please bear with me, the following explanation may be a bit convoluted;
Starting with a standard 'Cloud Messaging for Android', backed by the 'App Engine Backend with Google Cloud Messaging', I managed to build a test system that would send messages between Android devices (Github here).
Here is a VERY sparse EndPoints server code that handles register / un-register Android devices, as well as reporting registered devices and sending a message to a list of registered devices.
WARNING: This is not a production quality code, it is stripped of any logging, error handling in order to keep it short.
#Api( name = "gcmEP", version = "v1",
namespace = #ApiNamespace(ownerDomain = "epgcm.example.com", ownerName = "epgcm.example.com", packagePath = "" )
)
public class GcmEP {
#ApiMethod(name = "registToken")
public void registToken(#Named("token") String token) {
if (ofy().load().type(TokenRec.class).filter("token", token).first().now() == null) {
ofy().save().entity(new TokenRec(token)).now();
}
}
#ApiMethod(name = "unregToken")
public void unregToken(#Named("token") String token) {
TokenRec record = ofy().load().type(TokenRec.class).filter("token", token).first().now();
if (record != null) {
ofy().delete().entity(record).now();
}
}
#ApiMethod(name = "listTokens")
public CollectionResponse<TokenRec> listTokens() {
return CollectionResponse.<TokenRec>builder().setItems(ofy().load().type(TokenRec.class).list()).build();
}
#ApiMethod(name = "sendMsg")
public void sendMsg(#Named("message") String message) throws IOException {
if (message != null && message.length() > 0) {
Sender sender = new Sender(System.getProperty("gcm.api.key"));
Message msg = new Message.Builder().addData("message", message).build();
for (TokenRec record : ofy().load().type(TokenRec.class).list()) {
Result result = sender.send(msg, record.getToken(), 4);
if (result.getMessageId() != null) {
// handle CanonicalRegistrationId
} else {
// handle errors, delete record
}
}
}
}
}
Android code for registration and message sending is shown here, even if it is not relevant.
GcmEP mRegSvc;
String mToken;
// register device on EndPoints backend server
private void registerMe() {
new Thread(new RegisterMe(this)).start();
}
private class RegisterMe implements Runnable {
Activity mAct;
public RegisterMe(Activity act) { mAct = act; }
public void run() {
String senderId = null;
if (mAct != null) try {
if (mRegSvc == null) {
mRegSvc = new GcmEP
.Builder(AndroidHttp.newCompatibleTransport(), new AndroidJsonFactory(), null).setRootUrl(UT.ROOT_URL).build();
}
senderId = getString(R.string.gcm_defaultSenderId);
mToken = InstanceID.getInstance(mAct).getToken(senderId, GoogleCloudMessaging.INSTANCE_ID_SCOPE, null);
mRegSvc.registToken(mToken).execute();
GcmPubSub.getInstance(mAct).subscribe(mToken, "/topics/global", null); // subscribing to all 'topics' from 'mToken'
} catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
}
}
// send message to EndPoints backend server
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
if (mRegSvc != null) try {
mRegSvc.sendMsg("hello").execute();
} catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
}
}).start();
// receive GCM message
public class GcmListenSvc extends GcmListenerService {
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(String senderId, Bundle data) {
Log.i("_X_", data.getString("message"));
}
}
What is relevant, thought, there is also an APIs Explorer created for the project, that can be used to send messages to your Android device from any browser.
If you use this Explorer, you can see the GET, POST requests for your EndPoints backend server, i.e.
list all registered devices:
GET https://epgcm.appspot.com/_ah/api/gcmEP/v1/tokenrec?fields=items
send a message to all registered devices:
POST https://epgcm.appspot.com/_ah/api/gcmEP/v1/sendMsg/Hello%20World!
Now, you can use this knowledge to send messages to your Android device from an AppScript code as shown:
Version 1: Get list of registered devices and send a GCM message to all of them (or a filtered set).
function sendMsg() {
var msg = 'test from CODE.GS';
var url = 'https://epgcm.appspot.com/_ah/api/gcmEP/v1/tokenrec?fields=items';
var params = { method : 'get'};
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params);
var data = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
var regIds = [];
for (i in data.items)
regIds.push(data.items[i].token);
var payload = JSON.stringify({
'registration_ids' : regIds,
'data' : { 'message' : msg }
});
var params = {
'contentType' : 'application/json',
'headers' : {'Authorization' : 'key=AIza............................'},
'method' : 'post',
'payload' : payload
};
url = 'https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send';
UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params);
}
This version relies on code from an old YouTube video, and I don't know if the call to 'android.googleapis.com' is still supported (but it works).
Version 2: Use the EndPoints's 'sendMsg' directly.
function sendMsg() {
var msg = 'test from CODE.GS';
var params = { method : 'post'};
var url = 'https://demoepgcm.appspot.com/_ah/api/gcmEP/v1/sendMsg/' + encodeURIComponent(msg.trim());
UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params);
}
I have to admit I've never written a line of JavaScript code before, so it may not be up-to-par, but I made it work as a 'proof of concept'.
I would like to get feedback about this problem from people-who-know, since there is so little published info on this specific issue.
I am trying to create a calendar using Google Calendar API v3 if it does not already exist. My implementation successfully retrieves all my calendars and events and can change calendars, but I am struggling with adding a new calendar. This is what I do in order to try to add a new calendar for the user:
...
var calendarService = new CalendarService(_authenticator);
var calendarId = "com.somedomain.somename.1234"; // Some random ID
try {
calendarManager.GetCalendar(calendarId); // No calandar found
} catch(GoogleCalandarServiceProxyException e){
// Ok, so far so good, calendar not found (that is correct) and I am here
var someCalendar = new Google.Apis.Calendar.v3.Data.CalendarListEntry {
Summary = "Some summary!",
Description = "A calendar descr.",
AccessRole = "writer",
BackgroundColor = "#E7323C",
Id = calendarId
};
calendarService.CalendarList.Insert(someCalendar).Fetch(); // Fetch to execute
}
Request generated:
insert # https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/users/me/calendarList?alt=json&prettyPrint=true
RequestError:
Google.Apis.Request.RequestErrorNotFound[404]Errors [Message[Not Found]Location[-] Reason[notFound] Domain[global]]]
Weird thing is that doing a GET at https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/users/me/calendarList?alt=json&prettyPrint=true does not return something, so it should be there.
I hope that there is some awesome guy/girl out there which knows what to do! I'm completely stuck.
Update
Seems like I am receiving the same 404 error on CalendarList Google Api Explorer also:
Url:
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/calendarList/insert
Request:
POST https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/users/me/calendarList?key={YOUR_API_KEY}
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer ya29.AHES6ZQTj-D6uIMOWr_AoFYVvfefsEGcVvLvvMf4aKhgrdvQE25aVw
X-JavaScript-User-Agent: Google APIs Explorer
{
"id": "hastalavista"
}
Response:
404 Not Found
- Show headers - { "error": { "errors": [ {
"domain": "global",
"reason": "notFound",
"message": "Not Found" } ], "code": 404, "message": "Not Found" } }
Does anyone know whether Google have changed the URL for this resource? And if yes, how I change the Google Calendar Api v3 to use the updated url ...?
Okey, my bad:
You can't create a calendar with your own identifier, the purpose of CalendarListEntry.Insert() is to insert a created Calendar into the list of calendars
So to create a new calendar one has to:
Insert a new Calendar: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/calendars/insert
(DO NOT add id as paramater, this will be automatically created)
Insert the ID of the calendar created in step 1 and insert it into the calendarList: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/calendarList/insert
I'm still totally confused as to Google's distinction between a Calendar and a CalendarList since the data seems to overlap. Why is a calendar considered a "secondary" calendar.
The next code dit the trick for me, The mentioned reference is Java not .Net and, as usual ther e are some anoying differences...
private bool createCalendar()
{
// use Google.Apis.Calendar
Calendar calendar = new Calendar();
calendar.Summary = "MyNewCalendar";
calendar.Description = "Your new Calendar";
calendar.Location = "Aadorp";
calendar.TimeZone = "Europe/Amsterdam";
try
{
// Not inserting in CalendarList but in Calendar!
calendarService.Calendars.Insert(calendar).Execute();
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
MessageBox.Show(exception.Message);
return false;
}
return true;
}
