GitHub API - What I am doing wrong in here?

I am using GitHub API to plot the most stared projects. This is the code:
import requests
import pygal
from pygal.style import LightColorizedStyle as LCS, LightenStyle as LS
path = 'https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=language:python&sort=stars'
r = requests.get(path)
r_py = r.json()
repo_dicts = r_py['items']
names, plot_dicts = [], []
for repo_dict in repo_dicts:
names.append(repo_dict['name'])
attr = {
'stars' : repo_dict['stargazers_count'],
'description' : repo_dict['description'] or "",
'link' : repo_dict['html_url'],
}
plot_dicts.append(attr)
chart = pygal.Bar(x_label_rotation=45, show_legend=False)
chart.x_labels = names
chart.add('', plot_dicts)
chart.title = 'Most popular Python Projects on GitHub'
chart.render_to_file('PopPy.svg')
When I run rendered file (PopPy.svg) it shows the following chart with no data:
I double checked the API and see if I am using wrong key for dictionaries. Everything seems to be correct but still it doesn't work as expected.
Please help me with this thank you.

I have been using pyimgur to upload pictures and I would like to know how to delete them

I have been using this code to upload pictures to imgur:
import pyimgur
CLIENT_ID = "Your_applications_client_id"
PATH = "A Filepath to an image on your computer"
im = pyimgur.Imgur(CLIENT_ID)
uploaded_image = im.upload_image(PATH, title="Uploaded with PyImgur")
print(uploaded_image.title)
print(uploaded_image.link)
print(uploaded_image.size)
print(uploaded_image.type)
I'm using the client ID from my Imgur account, but after I upload them they wont't appear among my user photos.
Do you know where are they stored and how can I delete them?
Many thanks in advance.

The answer was:
print(uploaded_image.deletebash)
and once you get that code:
imgur.com/delete/

Posting to FB group with requests, allow youtube video to load

I made a simple python script that posts a random youtube video and a quote to Facebook group(s).
The problem is, that it doesn't give Facebook the time to load the random video. To be more specific, at the moment the post looks like this:
But I want it to look like this:
My current code looks like this (I omitted sensitive data):
""" Song of the day script """
import facebook
import os
from pyquery import PyQuery
import requests
import random
class Sofy(object):
GROUPS = ["123", "123"]
FB_ACCESS_TOKEN = "123accesstoken"
PLAYLISTS = ["123youtubeplaylist"]
VIDEOS = []
def get_video(self):
req = requests.get("https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list={}".format(self.PLAYLISTS[0]))
pq = PyQuery(req.text)
for video in pq(".pl-video").items():
self.VIDEOS.append(video.attr("data-video-id"))
return "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={}".format(random.choice(self.VIDEOS[-5:]))
def get_qoute(self):
pwd = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
fx = pwd + '/quotes.txt'
lines = open(fx).read().splitlines()
return random.choice(lines)
def run(self):
quote = self.get_qoute()
video = self.get_video()
graph = facebook.GraphAPI(access_token=self.FB_ACCESS_TOKEN, version='2.2')
for group in self.GROUPS:
graph.put_object(group, "feed", message="{}\n Song of the day: {}".format(quote, video))
print "All done :)"
if __name__=='__main__':
sofy = Sofy()
sofy.run()
I tried doing this with Selenium but it didn't quote work as expected. Also, this way looks cleaner, but I can't figure out how to let youtube video load, I'm not even sure if it's possible?

It doesn't look like you're actually sharing the link correctly, looks like you're adding the URL into the 'message' parameter -
It should be attached correctly if you specify it in the 'link' parameter

No tags return from tag_recent_media

Hello I'm playing with the python instagram API and I'm using this example:
from instagram.client import InstagramAPI
access_token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
api = InstagramAPI(access_token=access_token)
recent_media, next_ = api.tag_recent_media( count = 20, max_tag_id = '', tag_name = 'cats' ) )
for media in recent_media:
print media.tags # attempt to get tags associated with each media
When I run it, some times it says that media does not have "tags" attribute. But I'm searching for tag_recent_media, how is possible to the media not have tags?
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Maybe the media doesnt have any tags, and a comment has it?
Try to check that, because a media with tags on comments will also be returned by /recent endpoint.

Invalid request URI while adding a video to playlist via youtube api

I have been unable to overcome this error while trying to add a video to my playlist using the youtube gdata python api.
gdata.service.RequestError: {'status':
400, 'body': 'Invalid request URI',
'reason': 'Bad Request'}
This seems to be the same error, but there are no solutions as yet. Any help guys?
import getpass
import gdata.youtube
import gdata.youtube.service
yt_service = gdata.youtube.service.YouTubeService()
# The YouTube API does not currently support HTTPS/SSL access.
yt_service.ssl = False
yt_service = gdata.youtube.service.YouTubeService()
yt_service.email = #myemail
yt_service.password = getpass.getpass()
yt_service.developer_key = #mykey
yt_service.source = #text
yt_service.client_id= #text
yt_service.ProgrammaticLogin()
feed = yt_service.GetYouTubePlaylistFeed(username='default')
# iterate through the feed as you would with any other
for entry in feed.entry:
if (entry.title.text == "test"):
lst = entry;
print entry.title.text, entry.id.text
custom_video_title = 'my test video on my test playlist'
custom_video_description = 'this is a test video on my test playlist'
video_id = 'Ncakifd_16k'
playlist_uri = lst.id.text
playlist_video_entry = yt_service.AddPlaylistVideoEntryToPlaylist(playlist_uri, video_id, custom_video_title, custom_video_description)
if isinstance(playlist_video_entry, gdata.youtube.YouTubePlaylistVideoEntry):
print 'Video added'
The confounding thing is that updating the playlist works, but adding a video does not.
playlist_entry_id = lst.id.text.split('/')[-1]
original_playlist_description = lst.description.text
updated_playlist = yt_service.UpdatePlaylist(playlist_entry_id,'test',original_playlist_description,playlist_private=False)
The video_id is not wrong because its the video from the sample code. What am I missing here? Somebody help!
Thanks.

Gdata seems to use v1 API. So, the relevant documentation is here: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/1.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#Retrieving_a_playlist
This means, your "playlist_uri" should not take the value of "lst.id.text", but should take the "feedLink" element's "href" attribute in order to be used with "AddPlaylistVideoEntryToPlaylist"
Even if you happen to use v2 API, you should take the URI from the "content" element's "src" attribute as explained in the documentation, you get by substituting 2.0, in the above URL! (SO doesn't allow me to put two hyperlinks because i don't have enough reputations! :))
