I'm a Simple DB newb and am looking for some step-by-step instructions about how to generate the correct signature. Some of the tutorials/sample code I'm seeing say it's a combination of a timestamp, the service you're using, and the method you're requesting be done on that service. Is this correct? I speak python if someone can provide code to generate it...
You'll want to use boto. It's documentation is really great, and they have a page specifically about SimpleDB.

Looking through the API documentation it seems that there's currently no way to access a custom report via the API. If this is, in fact, the case, is there a workaround to make this possible?
The goal is to get a modified version of this report shown on the web interface:
No, you need to build the report yourself and call it with the API unfortunately.
Depending on how complex the report is, it can be done pretty quickly. You can quickly generate the GAQL needed for your APU query using this tool: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v7/overview_query_builder
This will save you typing out all the resources manually, and will even validate it for you.
If you're stuck, let us know what report you're trying to generate and we can help with the GAQL.
I'm new to Python and am very confused on how to begin this assignment:
Write Python code to connect to Twitter search API at:
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json
with at least the following parameters:
q for a search topic of your interest;
count to 100 for 100 records
to retrieve twitter data and assign the data to a variable.
I already created the app to access Twitter's API. Thanks.
I had this same issue. According to Twitter, you must register an account to even use basic search features of public tweets and there is no way around it. I followed the guide for the complete setup here and can confirm it works
Edit: the article is for php, but changing it to python shouldn’t be very difficult. It has all the methods outlined in the article
Just as a hint, you might want to use tweepy for this. They have very good documentation and its much easier than trying to reinvent the wheel.
Experts,
I am a novice in implementing the SSO (SAML) for a django application. I want to use SAML integration using djangosaml2/pysaml2. Any best tutorial with example is very much helpful.
First thing : What you have tried ?
Before asking your question you should tell community what you tried and you caught up with some issues.
However you are new here I would like to answer it for you.
There are many SAML2 packages are available on pypi please go through it.
One of them is Here
You have to get the xml from your IDP (Identity provider) and you have to ask your IDP to configure your metadata in IDP system.
The above library will help you to generate your metadata.Please follow the steps given in documentation
Try and then if you get some issue do let us know.
I'm looking for an Google API for python (except the official API), in order to make "eloborate" query like "intitle", "intext","filetype", ...
I made some research on the internet but I don't have find my need. Maybe I misssearched or maybe that doesn't exist.
Can you give me some lead or advice ?
Thank you.
Google Search API has deprecated long ago. You could use something like pygoogle to screen-scrape the results page, but you're liable to be detected by Google's anti-bot captchas if you make a large number of queries.
In my website, users have the possibility to store links.
During typing the internet address into the designated field I would like to display a suggest/autocomplete box similar to Google Suggest or the Chrome Omnibar.
Example:
User is typing as URL:
http://www.sta
Suggestions which would be displayed:
http://www.staples.com
http://www.starbucks.com
http://www.stackoverflow.com
How can I achieve this while not reinventing the wheel? :)
You could try with
http://google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&q=keyword
and then parse the xml result.
I did this once before in a Django server. There's two parts - client-side and server-side.
Client side you will have to send out XmlHttpRequests to the server as the user is typing, and then when the information comes back, display it. This part will require a decent amount of javascript, including some tricky parts like callbacks and keypress handlers.
Server side you will have to handle the XmlHttpRequests which will be something that contains what the user has typed so far. Like a url of
www.yoursite.com/suggest?typed=www.sta
and then respond with the suggestions encoded in some way. (I'd recommend JSON-encoding the suggestions.) You also have to actually get the suggestions from your database, this could be just a simple SQL call or something else depending on your framework.
But the server-side part is pretty simple. The client-side part is trickier, I think. I found this article helpful
He's writing things in php, but the client side work is pretty much the same. In particular you might find his CSS helpful.
Yahoo has a good autocomplete control.
They have a sample here..
Obviously this does nothing to help you out in getting the data - but it looks like you have your own source and arent actually looking to get data from Google.
If you want the auto-complete to use date from your own database, you'll need to do the search yourself and update the suggestions using AJAX as users type. For the search part, you might want to look at Lucene.
That control is often called a word wheel. MSDN has a recent walkthrough on writing one with LINQ. There are two critical aspects: deferred execution and lazy evaluation. The article has source code too.
