I am working on creating a website that will recall data from a spreadsheet (looking at using Google Spreadsheets or SQLite) in a similar form as to the stock exchange except I would like the "stock" and "prices" to be pulled from the spreadsheet which can be live updated.
I have asked on Reddit, searched through the google help guides, but couldn't find the right resource. I was told that running it through GitHub would be an option. Any help would be appreciated.
For a reference of what I would like to do, I would like to make a site similar to this one: https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/live/charts
Only hopefully much cleaner and only with the chart + filtering allowed. Then the person using the site would be able to select the "company" to see that "company's" "stock" and "history" that is all managed via a database that I manage.
I can do all of this in Excel but I would like to make a secure sharing platform online.
Thank you for your time and help. If there is an order in which to learn these things or do these things, please let me know.
Have a great day.

When using directions in Google Maps
I would like to display a list of multiple paths using the api, like the red box in the attached photo, but I do not seem to have a good guide to look for the api document.
I want to know how to implement it.
I would appreciate your help.
This is a pretty complicated endeavor to simply have someone walk you through without having built your own code. That said the I would recomend reading through the google resource manual. And here is a walkthrough once you understand some basics of google maps javascript control.
tutorial
There are free resources to figure it out. Though there are even better paid resources. Just check out Udemy for a 10$ course (you have to sign in and search a coupon, but you can get access to any great course for $10)
Give it a shot and get back to us when you have tried some stuff specifically.
First post here - apologies in advance if i've made any mistakes. I would like to scrape the median house price for all the suburbs on this map. The median house price appears when you roll your mouse over the suburb in the map. ideally the output would be in excel with first column suburb name, second column median price with about 100 or so suburbs (i.e. columns). I do not know any programming and have tried to use parsehub (https://www.parsehub.com/) to do this but have not had any luck.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! pls find link to map below:

Thanks in advance...
You can use a PhantomJS
"PhantomJS is a headless WebKit scriptable with a JavaScript API. It has fast and native support for various web standards: DOM handling, CSS selector, JSON, Canvas, and SVG."
This will allow you to use JavaScript to scrape data from a page. Another suggestion is using Import.IO. The service is free and doesn't require any programming to scrap the data. The service will give you an API to call which returns JSON data. The data is stored on their servers and is relatively fast.
One of the founders of ParseHub here. At the moment, ParseHub can only extract data from SVG-based maps, not canvas-based maps. I realize this is a technical detail that probably doesn't matter to you. We're looking into a workaround for your problem, expect an email from me soon.
On a side note, while we may be able to solve this from a technical standpoint, we strongly encourage you to abide by the terms of service of any site that you extract data from.

I have been searching hard on when a user pastes a link in the community page, and posts it. Then just below the link - a small image of the site and brief description of the site appears.
This is similar to when you post a link in Linkedin, and when you post it, then in the post automatically a small image of the website that this link points to appears, and also a brief descritption of the site, which I believe is the title.
I have searched a lot, but could not find a place to start on how to do this. If anyone can give me a starting point, it would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
This really would be highly valuable for all sorts of applications. Doing a quick SO and Google search, I found one service that has an API for this: https://www.url2png.com.
I'm not sure, but it would seem that this type of function would have to be done backend with software installed on your server. This makes sense as we're working with rendering images; and current browsers (through Javascript or APIs) don't yet seem to have the ability to render images. (Anyone provide links to documentation in the comments if I'm wrong about this?)
Update
Here's another one I found that has command-line open-source code: http://cutycapt.sourceforge.net/
Please forgive me for ranting, this one is giving me a headache...
RANT ON---Great pain with Google programming APIs. Trying to use Google APIs to communicate with YouTube to retrieve a list of my videos. Simple task. Version 2 APIs were easy to use, I had a sample working in 5 minutes. New Version 3 APIs are complex, tedious, require a bunch of advance setup and user account IDs, and after all that hassle, THEY STILL DO NOT WORK.---RANT OFF
C'mon Google, this is really hard to use!
Ok, down to business: I have an API key AND a Client Auth setup. Neither one works with my efforts to use Google's sample code.
Does anyone have a working sample where JAVASCRIPT in an HTML lists the videos in a YouTube account? Something where I can just substitute my account id and API key. Should be very simple, yes?
Thanks in advance for your help... and for bearing with me as I rant...
This sample from the offical docs works just fine. You just need to put your client ID in the OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID variable in auth.js. Make sure you're using the ID that's in the 'Client ID for web application' section in the Developers Console.
If you can't get it to work, be more specific about the error you're getting.
I would like to know, does anyone here have experienced dealing wth LinkedIn Javascript API's.
I'm a beginner in Javascript API's.Recently I've got a task where I have to create an application which can search the LinkedIn database based on the chosen skills.
For an example,user would want to find people who have a specific skill sets(for example java),they can input the skill set(by text or selection)and the application searches and returns all the people who match the skills set.
I've been reading through the documentation many many times and going through the forums but there dont seem to have complete reference to this.
Some of the answer's i've read is, it seems we can't search skills of the connection as skills are part of the full profile whereas search can only be done for basic profile's.
I've would like to ask,is this application possible to be developed? Is there any example for this application?
Do share your experience,
Thanks a lot in advance,
#Captain Jack,
If you are having some trouble, the first thing that I would request you to check is if your linkedin account through which you are creating your application/ Javascript API, has sufficient priviledges with Linkedin. There are certain levels of authorization that you may require if you would like to acquire more data from linked in.
The skills field is one such out of many that requires this authorization. Quote from linkedin website:
"Member profile fields available to Apply with LinkedIn developers
The following selection of profile fields are only available to applications that have applied and been approved for the Apply with LinkedIn program:
from - https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/fields"
So do you have this approval from Linkedin. If not then I dont think you're gonna be able to get this done.
Hope I have given you some info. Thanks.
I found the example for java, php and python on this link, it's available on this one too.
Try this add skill:(Java) into your api url
https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-search:
(people:(id,first-name,last-name,headline,picture-url,industry,skill:(Java)),
num-results)?
first-name=parameter&last-name=parameter
