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 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 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 am very new to pouchdb, meaning i have not yet been successfully able to implement an app that uses it.
This is my issue now, in my controller i have two functions:
var init = function() {
vm.getInvoicesRemote(); // Get Data from server and update pouchDB
vm.getInvoicesLocal(); // Get Data from pouchDB and load in view
}
init();
Basically in my app i have a view that shows customer invoices, now i want customers to be able to still see those invoices when they're offline. I have seen several examples of pouchdb and couchdb but all use the "todo" example which does not really give much information.
Now i'm just confused about what the point was in me spending hours understanding couchdb and installing it if in the end i'm just going to be retrieving the data from my server using my API.
Also when the data is returned how does pouchdb identify which records are new and which records are old when appending.
well, i m working on same kind..!this is how i m making it work..!
$scope.Lists = function () {
if(!$rootScope.connectionFlag){
OfflineService.getLocalOrdersList(function (localList) {
if(localList.length > 0) {
$scope.List = localList;
}
});
}else{
if(!$scope.user){
}else {
Common.callAPI("post", '***/*************', $scope.listParams, function (data) {
if (data !== null) {
$scope.List = data.result;
OfflineService.bulkOrdersAdd_updateLocalDB($scope.List);
}
});
}
}
};
so,$scope.List will be filled if online as well as offline based on connectionFlag
note : OfflineService and Common are services.
call method:
$ionicPlatform.ready(function () {
OfflineService.configDbsCallback(function(res) {
if(res) {
$scope.Lists();
}
});
});
u can try calling $scope.Lists(); directly..!
hope this helps u..!
I have recently followed a tutorial over on Thinkster for creating a web app using Angular and Firebase.
The tutorial uses the Firebase simpleLogin method allows a 'profile' to be created that includes a username.
Factory:
app.factory('Auth', function($firebaseSimpleLogin, $firebase, FIREBASE_URL, $rootScope) {
var ref = new Firebase(FIREBASE_URL);
var auth = $firebaseSimpleLogin(ref);
var Auth = {
register: function(user) {
return auth.$createUser(user.email, user.password);
},
createProfile: function(user) {
var profile = {
username: user.username,
md5_hash: user.md5_hash
};
var profileRef = $firebase(ref.child('profile'));
return profileRef.$set(user.uid, profile);
},
login: function(user) {
return auth.$login('password', user);
},
logout: function() {
auth.$logout();
},
resolveUser: function() {
return auth.$getCurrentUser();
},
signedIn: function() {
return !!Auth.user.provider;
},
user: {}
};
$rootScope.$on('$firebaseSimpleLogin:login', function(e, user) {
angular.copy(user, Auth.user);
Auth.user.profile = $firebase(ref.child('profile').child(Auth.user.uid)).$asObject();
console.log(Auth.user);
});
$rootScope.$on('$firebaseSimpleLogin:logout', function() {
console.log('logged out');
if (Auth.user && Auth.user.profile) {
Auth.user.profile.$destroy();
}
angular.copy({}, Auth.user);
});
return Auth;
});
Controller:
$scope.register = function() {
Auth.register($scope.user).then(function(user) {
return Auth.login($scope.user).then(function() {
user.username = $scope.user.username;
return Auth.createProfile(user);
}).then(function() {
$location.path('/');
});
}, function(error) {
$scope.error = error.toString();
});
};
At the very end of the tutorial there is a 'next steps' section which includes:
Enforce username uniqueness-- this one is tricky, check out Firebase priorities and see if you can use them to query user profiles by username
I have searched and searched but can't find a clear explanation of how to do this, particularly in terms of the setPriority() function of Firebase
I'm quite the Firebase newbie so any help here would be gratefully recieved.
There are a few similar questions, but I can't seem to get my head around how to sort this out.
Enormous thanks in advance.
EDIT
From Marein's answer I have updated the register function in my controller to:
$scope.register = function() {
var ref = new Firebase(FIREBASE_URL);
var q = ref.child('profile').orderByChild('username').equalTo($scope.user.username);
q.once('value', function(snapshot) {
if (snapshot.val() === null) {
Auth.register($scope.user).then(function(user) {
return Auth.login($scope.user).then(function() {
user.username = $scope.user.username;
return Auth.createProfile(user);
}).then(function() {
$location.path('/');
});
}, function(error) {
$scope.error = error.toString();
});
} else {
// username already exists, ask user for a different name
}
});
};
But it is throwing an 'undefined is not a function' error in the line var q = ref.child('profile').orderByChild('username').equalTo($scope.user.username);. I have commented out the code after and tried just console.log(q) but still no joy.
EDIT 2
The issue with the above was that the Thinkster tutorial uses Firebase 0.8 and orderByChild is available only in later versions. Updated and Marein's answer is perfect.
There are two things to do here, a client-side check and a server-side rule.
At the client side, you want to check whether the username already exists, so that you can tell the user that their input is invalid, before sending it to the server. Where exactly you implement this up to you, but the code would look something like this:
var ref = new Firebase('https://YourFirebase.firebaseio.com');
var q = ref.child('profiles').orderByChild('username').equalTo(newUsername);
q.once('value', function(snapshot) {
if (snapshot.val() === null) {
// username does not yet exist, go ahead and add new user
} else {
// username already exists, ask user for a different name
}
});
You can use this to check before writing to the server. However, what if a user is malicious and decides to use the JS console to write to the server anyway? To prevent this you need server-side security.
I tried to come up with an example solution but I ran into a problem. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come along. My problem is as follows. Let's say your database structure looks like this:
{
"profiles" : {
"profile1" : {
"username" : "Nick",
"md5_hash" : "..."
},
"profile2" : {
"username" : "Marein",
"md5_hash" : "..."
}
}
}
When adding a new profile, you'd want to have a rule ensuring that no profile object with the same username property exists. However, as far as I know the Firebase security language does not support this, with this data structure.
A solution would be to change the datastructure to use username as the key for each profile (instead of profile1, profile2, ...). That way there can only ever be one object with that username, automatically. Database structure would be:
{
"profiles" : {
"Nick" : {
"md5_hash" : "..."
},
"Marein" : {
"md5_hash" : "..."
}
}
}
This might be a viable solution in this case. However, what if not only the username, but for example also the email has to be unique? They can't both be the object key (unless we use string concatenation...).
One more thing that comes to mind is to, in addition to the list of profiles, keep a separate list of usernames and a separate list of emails as well. Then those can be used easily in security rules to check whether the given username and email already exist. The rules would look something like this:
{
"rules" : {
".write" : true,
".read" : true,
"profiles" : {
"$profile" : {
"username" : {
".validate" : "!root.child('usernames').child(newData.val()).exists()"
}
}
},
"usernames" : {
"$username" : {
".validate" : "newData.isString()"
}
}
}
}
However now we run into another problem; how to ensure that when a new profile is created, the username (and email) are also placed into these new lists? [1]
This in turn can be solved by taking the profile creation code out of the client and placing it on a server instead. The client would then need to ask the server to create a new profile, and the server would ensure that all the necessary tasks are executed.
However, it seems we have gone very far down a hole to answer this question. Perhaps I have overlooked something and things are simpler than they seem. Any thoughts are appreciated.
Also, apologies if this answer is more like a question than an answer, I'm new to SO and not sure yet what is appropriate as an answer.
[1] Although maybe you could argue that this does not need to be ensured, as a malicious user would only harm themselves by not claiming their unique identity?
I had a similar problem. But it was after registering the user with password and email. In the user profile could save a user name that must be unique and I have found a solution, maybe this can serve you.
Query for username unique in Firebase
var ref = new Firebase(FIREBASE_URL + '/users');
ref.orderByChild("username").equalTo(profile.username).on("child_added", function(snapshot) {
if (currentUser != snapshot.key()) {
scope.used = true;
}
});
ref.orderByChild("username").equalTo(profile.username).once("value", function(snap) {
//console.log("initial data loaded!", Object.keys(snap.val()).length === count);
if (scope.used) {
console.log('username already exists');
scope.used = false;
}else{
console.log('username doesnt exists, update it');
userRef.child('username').set(profile.username);
}
});
};
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.
