Bulk XML upload for Google Blogger API - python

All,
I'm trying to find a way to overcome the 50 post rate limit of the Google Blogger API using the Google Python client library. The CreatePost() method fails after exactly 50 posts with a "gdata.client.RequestError: Server responded with: 400, Blog has exceeded rate limit or otherwise requires word verification for new posts" error message. It appears, however, that there may be a lower level bulk upload solution using an XML POST containing multiple blog entries. Although an example is provided in the Blogger API documentation for the XML syntax, the API is unclear how to implement a bulk upload within the context of the Python client API.
Can anyone provide any insight into this problem?

Server-Eye API requesting errors and warnings

I'm building a tool in Python for which I need to read out error codes for specific devices using the Server-Eye API. Server-Eye is our monitoring solution where all of our devices and the devices of our customers are registered. The documentation at https://api.server-eye.de/ wasn't very helpful or I'm just not finding what I need. Does anybody have any experience with the Server-Eye API?
The Server-Eye support wasn't helpful either. My request apparently was so exotic that they have to discuss the problem in a weekly meeting they are having. No answer from them yet.
What I am able to do is read out customers from our tenant and the devices registered in a customer. I'm also able to format the data that the API gives you which is a huge pain. I just can't seem to find how I can read which sensors are applied to a device or what errors these sensors found.
A usual request would look like this:
requests.get('https://api.server-eye.de/2/customer/cId/containers', params=apiKey)
cId would be the ID of the customer you want to read from.
apiKey is an authorization token which can be generated in the webconsole.
This request gives a response object out of which you have to read the contents with something like .json() or .text.
Any help is appreciated, I'm starting to get real frustrated here as my deadline is slowly approaching.

HTML Request from Denticon

I am attempting to query a cloud database using the requests package. This is from Denticon, a dentistry software that my office uses to schedule patients and store information on the cloud about them and their dental history. Eventually, I would like to process and analyze the results of the query in pandas but I am having issues getting query to work at all. I admit I am a novice at using this sort of API and querying in general, so show some grace if I am doing this absolutely wrong.
By their own documentation, the makers of Denticon say you must query using a html request. When attempting to use 'request.get()' I get an error message that this method in not supported for the request when using it on a url for a specific query.
Here is some short documentation from their own website that could help fill some gaps:
Denticon API
Denticon API Getting Started
Denticon Patient APIs
In my case I am trying to query a list of patients at a specific office/location. This is what I would think to try:
import requests
apiKey = {"API-AUTH-KEY":"AAC6DB7A-5A66-4EBC-B694-D6BCD99881CB",
"API-VENDOR-KEY":"BCF756D4-DCE6-4F2B-BAAE-7679D87037A7",
"PGID":"1"}
requests.get('https://dev-api.denticon.com/v2/api/Patient/AllPatients/', headers=apiKey)
(As a short disclaimer: these are practice api keys that Denticon provides. They do not allow you query any actual patient data, just to practice using the API)
At this point is where I get the "method not supported" response for request.get
The error means that you cannot call the API using requests.get. Try to do it using requests.post.
import requests
apiKey = {"API-AUTH-KEY":"AAC6DB7A-5A66-4EBC-B694-D6BCD99881CB",
"API-VENDOR-KEY":"BCF756D4-DCE6-4F2B-BAAE-7679D87037A7",
"PGID":"1"}
json = {"OID":"","PAGEINDEX":"1"}
requests.post('https://dev-api.denticon.com/v2/api/Patient/AllPatients/', headers=apiKey, json=json)

Querying Customer Saved Searches in Shopify Python API

I'm trying to get all customers who abandoned their order last week.
I was able to achieved it through the REST API, however, I wonder how to achieve the same thing via Shopify Python API.
Here's the code I tried in Postman:
https://{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2019-07/customer_saved_searches/{customer_saved_search_id}/customers.json?limit=250
Also, it seems like there's a 250 results limit in the REST API, is there a way to exceed it?
The Python SDK is a bit of afterthought of Shopify. Sadly.
Regarding the paging on th REST request. Just add the query parameter ...?page=2 at the end of your URL.
Regarding the Python SDK, following will do the trick:
id = 23423423423
css = shopify.CustomerSavedSearch.find(id)

Show azure cost analysis data using Azure billing API/SDK

In Azure portal ,if one subscription is selected ,the cost analysis can be viewed like the following screenshot
I want to programmatically fetch the information the like the one displayed above may be using using some python SDK API/REST API.
If anybody has any experience/idea on this ,please help.
After going through replies ,I have gone through the Azure Billing Rest API and I am now able to call the Usage Aggrgate and RateCard related Rest APIs.
Following are the results of those REST Calls. .Azure Billing Usage Aggregate Response
Azure Billing Ratecard Response
But honestly speaking ,I still have not figured out how these to would give me detailed view like the cost analysis does where for each resource how much cost associated can be displayed.Actually I am very new to Azure probably that is why I am missing the link some where .
Can somebody give some hint here ?
If you already have the usage and the ratecard data, then you must combine them. Take the meterId of the usage data and get the related ratecard data. The ratecard data contains the MeterRates and the IncludedQuantity which you must take. There are probably multiple meter rates and the included quantity because there are probably different costs per usage (e.g. first 10 calls for free, 3 GB for free, ...). The consumption starts/is reseted at the 14th of the month. That's the reason why you have to read the data from the whole billing period (begins with 14th of each month), because that's the only way how you get the correct consumption.
So, if you are using e.g. Azure Functions and you have a usage of 100.000 units per day and you want the costs from 20th - 30th, then the calculation works as follows:
read data from 14th - 30th. These are 17 days and therefore it used 1.700.000 units.
The first 400.000 are for free = IncludedQuantity (so in this sample the first 4 days). From the 400.001 unit on, you have to take the meter rate (0,0000134928 €) and calculate the costs. 1.300.000 * 0,0000134928 = ~17,54€. Fortunately, the azure functions have only one rate. If the rate changes e.g. after 5.000.000 units, then you also have to take this into account.
If you have the whole costs, then you can filter on your date which is 20.-30. and you will get the result.
That's the short explanation of the calculation. I implemented this calculation in C# and published it as a NuGet package. The source code is on github - probably it helps. It also contains a sample console which you could use to export the data.

I have the same issue. But unluckily, python SDK is too hard to use.
Moreover, you cannot find an availabale sample or example on Google.
So, I choose using restapi rather than python SDK.
With python code, you can do this firstly,
import requests
from azure.common.credentials import ServicePrincipalCredentials
and set headers pyload and url.
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": <token> }
you can get token through credentials, which generated by client_id,secret,tenant.
credentials.token() will return the token you can use in headers.
you can find restapi in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/ or use F12 in Chrome when you access the Azure dashboard.
There are the offical documents below for retrieving the billing data using Python SDK or REST API in Python.
For using Python SDK, please see http://azure-sdk-for-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/resourcemanagementcommerce.html.
For using Billing REST API, please see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/billing/, and you can try to use Python package requests to get these data.
However, I think you may have know these above, the key is that you need to follow the tutorial Manage access to billing information for Azure using role-based access control to get the role permission via your account admin.
And then you may also need to register a client app to get the client id for Resource Management Authentication if you want to use Service Principal/ADAL (not AD User/Password) in Python SDK or use REST API to do the same authentication as Azure REST API Reference page said. For the authentication topic, you can refer to the content map of Manage Apps to know more if you have been getting some trouble.
Hope it helps. Any concern, please feel free to let me know.

How would you query Picasa from a Google App Engine app? Data API or Url Fetch?

How would you query Picasa from a Google App Engine app? Data API or Url Fetch? What are the pros and cons of using either method?
[Edit]
I would like to be able to query a specific album in Picasa and list all the photos in it.
Code examples to do this in python are much appreciated.
Your question is a little off, since the Data API is exposed through RESTful URLs, so both methods are ultimately a "URL Fetch".
The Data API works quite well, though. It gives you access to nearly all the functionality of Picasa, and responses are sent back and forth in well-formed, well-documented XML. Google's documentation for the API is very good.
If you only need access to limited publicly available content (like a photostream) then you can do this at a very basic level by just fetching the feed url and parsing that... but even for that you can get the same data with more configuration options via the Data API URLs.
I'm not sure what code samples you'd like... it really depends what you actually want to do with Picasa.
