First, this is a google-app-script issue... I can't seem to capture the second (or subsequent) parameters within the HTML page (i.e. "item" in this example)... I've seen many examples using "location.search" and "window.location.search", but none of these seem to work. Could it possibly be as simple as "location.search" is not the correct usage?
Example
Code.gs
var myParam;
/**
* Get the URL for the Google Apps Script running as a WebApp.
*/
function getScriptUrl() {
var url = ScriptApp.getService().getUrl();
return url;
}
/**
* Get "home page", or a requested page.
* Expects a 'page' parameter in querystring.
*
* #param {event} e Event passed to doGet, with querystring
* #returns {String/html} Html to be served
*/
function doGet(e) {
//Logger.log( Utilities.jsonStringify(e) );
Logger.log(e.parameter.page);
var pgToLoad = e.parameter.page;
if (!e.parameter.page) {
Logger.log('!e.parameter.page')
// When no specific page requested, return "home page"
// return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('my1').evaluate().setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME);
return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('my1').evaluate().setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME);
}
Logger.log('there is something for the page');
// else, use page parameter to pick an html file from the script
// return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile(pgToLoad).evaluate().setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME);
return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile(pgToLoad).evaluate().setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME);
}
I have multiple HTML files, but they are basically the same as my1.html below...
my1.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base target="_top">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Source = my1.html</h1>
<p id=myParam>Placeholder</p>
<?var url = getScriptUrl();?><a href='<?=url?>?page=my2&item=1-234'> <input type='button' name='button' value='my2.html'></a>
<?var url = getScriptUrl();?><a href='<?=url?>?page=my3&item=1-345'> <input type='button' name='button' value='my3.html'></a>
</body>
</html>
<script>
function getParam(sname)
{
var params = location.search;
var sval = "";
params = params.split("&");
// split param and value into individual pieces
for (var i=0; i<params.length; i++)
{
temp = params[i].split("=");
if ( temp[0] == sname ) { sval = temp[1]; }
}
return sval;
}
function changeItem() {
var param = getParam("item");
var myItem = "Item:-"+param+"-";
document.getElementById("myParam").innerHTML = myItem;
}
window.onload = changeItem;
</script>
I think I know what you want to do. It looks like you are getting the search string parameters from the doGet(e) function on the server side, then you are trying to get the same search string parameters again on the "client side" from the onload function? If this is the case, I would abandon trying to get the search string parameters from the client side.
You could store the search string parameters in the browsers sessionStorage:
window.sessionStorage.setItem("searchStringOne","Value One");
and to retrieve:
var valueOne = window.sessionStorage.getItem("searchStringOne");
Session Storage Information
Here's an example to show how to get the query string parameters to serve different html templates using html-service of app script :
function doGet(e) {
Logger.log( Utilities.jsonStringify(e) );
// Load a home page when no parameter is specified
if (!e.parameter.redirect) {
var template = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('home');
var htmlOutput = template.evaluate().setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME).setTitle('Home');
return htmlOutput;
}
//get the page from parameter and load it
else{
var template=HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile(e.parameter['redirect']);
var htmlOutput = template.evaluate().setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME).setTitle('Other Page');
return htmlOutput;
}
}
function getScriptUrl() {
var url = ScriptApp.getService().getUrl();
return url;
}
then HTML will look like this :
home.html
<?var url = getScriptUrl();?>
You are on Home Page.
<a href='<?=url?>?redirect=pagex'>Goto PageX</a>
<a href='<?=url?>?redirect=pagey'>Goto PageY</a>
pagex.html
You are on PageX
pagey.html
You are on PageY
Hope this helps!
I am trying to integrate bit.ly on my website in JS to short my url. All my url are too long, what will be the most straight foward way to use the bit.ly restful api for sharing button on a static website in HTML/javascript.
The result I want to get is when my user click share on my website the url is automatically shortened by bit.ly
here is the code I am currently using to share my pages dynamically on twitter:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://bit.ly/javascript-api.js?version=latest&login=LOGINID&apiKey=APIKEY"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.js"></script>
<script>
function tweetCurrentPage()
{ window.open("https://twitter.com/share?url=" + escape(window.location.href) + "&text=" + document.title, '', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=300,width=600'); return false; }
var TweetThisLink = {
shorten : function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var url = this.href.substr(this.href.indexOf('http:',5))
BitlyClient.shorten(url, 'TweetThisLink.response');
},
response : function(data) {
var bitly_link = null;
for (var r in data.results) {
bitly_link = data.results[r]['shortUrl'];
break;
}
var tweet_text = "I am reading documentation of"
document.location = "http://twitter.com/share?url=" + encodeURIComponent(tweet_text + ' ' + bitly_link);
}
}
jQuery('.tweetlink').bind('click', TweetThisLink.shorten);
</script>
tweet this link
Not sure if this is on purposefully obfuscated for the sake of the question, but
In your script tag the src is:
"http://bit.ly/javascript-api.js?version=latest&login=LOGINID&apiKey=APIKEY".
LOGINID & apiKey are placeholders are in-place. You need to replace them with the appropriate keys you should receive from bitly.
if this is on purpose for the sake of the question please ignore this answer.
don't know why but my function "tweetCurrentPage()" for dynamic url won't work it's giving me a respond INVALID_URI from bit.ly, but if I hard code the href value like this twitter.com/share?url=+exemple.com"; it's working...
I am trying to get the URL for all the photos of a facebook page.
How do I get the 'source' URL for this query and JSON structure:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/145634995501895/?method=GET&path=19292868552%3Ffields%3Dalbums.fields(photos.fields(source))&version=v2.1
I am using this success callback from a JSONP request:
function(response) {
for (i = 0; i < **???response.albums.data.length???**; i++) {
alert(**???response.albums.data[i].photos.data[i].source???**)
}
}
Can you help me find the right structure for the parts with the astericks? Because it has two [i]'s i think i'm getting confused..
You need to make sure that you have this in your head:
<script type='text/javascript' src='//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='workFromPage.js'></script>
Now on workFromPage.js
var pre = onload;
onload = function(){
if(pre)pre();
if(!FB)reload();
var photoURLs = [];
// change userId
// make sure you test for login and wrap around code below, if needed
FB.api('/userId/albums', function(resp){
if(resp && !resp.error){
for(var i in resp){
FB.api('/'+resp[i].id+'/photos', function(r){
if(r && !r.error){
for(var n in r){
photoURLs.push(r[n].source);
}
// access photoURLs here
}
}
}
}
}
}
Getting some odd behavior from google custom search that I can't seem to suss out. Maybe someone has a clue.
I'm putting together a Magento site, which has its own internal search engine - but is limited to product only. I want to implement google custom search results on the search results page as well. I figure I should be able to simply execute a search based on the query vars in the url (to return all the non-product content), as such:
<section style="min-height:600px">
<div style="background-color:#DFDFDF; min-height:800px; width:100%;">
<div id="cse">Loading</div>
</div>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
$(document).ready( function(){
console.log('search initiated');
var t = window.setTimeout( function(){ customSearch(); }, 5000 );
});
function customSearch(){
var q = urlParams()['q'];
if (q != undefined && q != ""){
console.log('q : %s', q); //outputs successfully
google.load('search', '1');
google.setOnLoadCallback(function () {
var customSearchControl = new google.search.CustomSearchControl(MY CUSTOM ID KEY);
var cseDrawOptions = new google.search.DrawOptions();
cseDrawOptions.setAutoComplete(true); //unknown if this is required...
customSearchControl.draw('cse',cseDrawOptions);
customSearchControl.execute(q);
}, true);
}
}
function urlParams(){
var vars = [];
var hash;
var index = window.location.href.indexOf('?');
if( index != -1 ){
var hashes = window.location.href.slice(index + 1).split('&');
for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++){
hash = hashes[i].split('=');
vars.push(hash[0]);
vars[hash[0]] = hash[1].replace(/\+/g, " ");
}
}
return vars;
}
//]>
</script>
</section>
I'll note that I've pulled all other content out of the logic (but its implementation in magento is identical).
So the behavior goes like this: page loads fine (I'm delaying the google search with a timeout for testing purposes ). Assuming there is a query var in the url the console traces out as expected. Then the page just gets wiped out, with no content back from google. "Wiped out"... meaning all elements on teh page disappear, or are getting overwritten by a new page that google loads. As if the search control isn't creating an iframe - its just replacing the page with a <body>-less html page.
I've ready a number of articles on the subject, and gone over the API - this code looks like it should work. But clearly isn't.
What am I missing?
Cheers -
UPDATE
Continued messing around with this has revealed that for whatever reason :
google.load('search', '1');
google.google.setOnLoadCallback( console.log('loaded') )
Was the cause of the replaced page issue. The responded page, however contained links to the search module that google is hosting. And if I manually linked those files (forgoing a google.load) then I could run a search as expected:
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://www.google.com/uds/?file=search&v=1" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
... search logic
Then I found an alternate syntax on the google developers page that seemed to work as expected:
$(document).ready( function(){
google.load("search", "1", {"callback" : customSearch});
});
function customSearch(){
var q = urlParams()['q'];
if (q != undefined && q != ""){
var cseControl = new google.search.CustomSearchControl('MY CUSTOM KEY');
var cseDrawOptions = new google.search.DrawOptions();
cseDrawOptions.enableSearchResultsOnly()
cseControl.draw('cse', cseDrawOptions);
cseControl.execute(q);
}
}
Which works as expected. Only real problem at this point is the host of
Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL http://mydomain from frame with URL http://www.google/cse?...
That now gets thrown.
I don't know how the two different versions of load syntax changes anything... but it seemed to of. Whatever the case, I'm unclear as to how to resolve these cross domain errors.
Thoughts would be great.
Nothin huh?
Well - I've basically worked out a good solution, using an alternate method that I think will be more flexible in the long run. Using googles RESTful API and simple jquery .ajax call, I can obtain good, controllable results with no cross-domain errors:
<div id="cse">Loading</div>
<script>
//https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/getting_started
//https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/using_rest#query-params
//https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/cse/list
var _url = "https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1";
var _key = 'AIzaSy... your api key here';
var _cx = '001809... your engine id';
var _q = urlParams()['q']; //query param
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$j.ajax({
url : _url,
type : 'GET',
dataType : 'jsonp',
data :{
key : _key,
cx : _cx,
q :_q
},
success : function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){ responseHandler(data); },
error : function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){ console.log('error: %s'), errorThrown},
beforeSend : function(){ console.log('sending request')},
crossDomain : true
});
});
function responseHandler( response, status) {
console.log(response);
var cse = $j('#cse'); // render vars as needed...
for (var i = 0; i < response.items.length; i++) {
var item = response.items[i];
cse.append( "<br>" + item.htmlTitle);
}
}
function urlParams(){
var vars = [];
var hash;
var index = window.location.href.indexOf('?');
if( index != -1 ){
var hashes = window.location.href.slice(index + 1).split('&');
for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++){
hash = hashes[i].split('=');
vars.push(hash[0]);
vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
}
}
return vars;
}
</script>
And you can too;D

The question is very simple. How to get number of video views with YouTube API?
The task is simple but I would like to use that query on large number of videos very often. Is there any way to call their Youtube API and get it? (something like facebook http://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.getStats&urls=developers.facebook.com)
I think, the easiest way, is to get video info in JSON format. If you want to use JavaScript, try jQuery.getJSON()... But I prefer PHP:
<?php
$video_ID = 'your-video-ID';
$JSON = file_get_contents("https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/{$video_ID}?v=2&alt=json");
$JSON_Data = json_decode($JSON);
$views = $JSON_Data->{'entry'}->{'yt$statistics'}->{'viewCount'};
echo $views;
?>
Ref: Youtube API - Retrieving information about a single video
You can use the new YouTube Data API v3
if you retrieve the video, the statistics part contains the viewCount:
from the doc:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos#resource
statistics.viewCount / The number of times the video has been viewed.
You can retrieve this info in the client side, or in the server side using some of the client libraries:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/libraries
And you can test the API call from the doc:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/list
Sample:
Request:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=statistics&id=Q5mHPo2yDG8&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

Version 2 of the API has been deprecated since March 2014, which some of these other answers are using.
Here is a very simple code snippet to get the views count from a video, using JQuery in the YouTube API v3.
You will need to create an API key via Google Developer Console first.
<script>
$.getJSON('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=statistics&id=Qq7mpb-hCBY&key={{YOUR-KEY}}', function(data) {
alert("viewCount: " + data.items[0].statistics.viewCount);
});
</script>
Here is a small code snippet to get Youtube video views from URL using Javascript
Demo of below code
function videoViews() {
var rex = /[a-zA-Z0-9\-\_]{11}/,
videoUrl = $('input').val() === '' ? alert('Enter a valid Url'):$('input').val(),
videoId = videoUrl.match(rex),
jsonUrl = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/' + videoId + '?v=2&alt=json',
embedUrl = '//www.youtube.com/embed/' + videoId,
embedCode = '<iframe width="350" height="197" src="' + embedUrl + '" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>'
//Get Views from JSON
$.getJSON(jsonUrl, function (videoData) {
var videoJson = JSON.stringify(videoData),
vidJson = JSON.parse(videoJson),
views = vidJson.entry.yt$statistics.viewCount;
$('.views').text(views);
});
//Embed Video
$('.videoembed').html(embedCode);}
Why using any api key to retrieve a portion of public html!
Simplest unix command line demonstrative example, using curl, grep and cut.
curl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-y7jzGxKNo | grep watch7-views-info | cut -d">" -f8 | cut -d"<" -f1
Yes, it get the full html page, this loss has no meaning against the countless advantages.
You can use this too:
<?php
$youtube_view_count = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/wGG543FeHOE?v=2&alt=json'))->entry->{'yt$statistics'}->viewCount;
echo $youtube_view_count;
?>
Using youtube-dl and jq:
views() {
id=$1
youtube-dl -j https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$id |
jq -r '.["view_count"]'
}
views fOX1EyHkQwc
Use the Google PHP API Client: https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client
Here's a little mini class just to get YouTube statistics for a single video id. It can obviously be extended a ton using the remainder of the api: https://api.kdyby.org/class-Google_Service_YouTube_Video.html
class YouTubeVideo
{
// video id
public $id;
// generate at https://console.developers.google.com/apis
private $apiKey = 'REPLACE_ME';
// google youtube service
private $youtube;
public function __construct($id)
{
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setDeveloperKey($this->apiKey);
$this->youtube = new Google_Service_YouTube($client);
$this->id = $id;
}
/*
* #return Google_Service_YouTube_VideoStatistics
* Google_Service_YouTube_VideoStatistics Object ( [commentCount] => 0 [dislikeCount] => 0 [favoriteCount] => 0 [likeCount] => 0 [viewCount] => 5 )
*/
public function getStatistics()
{
try{
// Call the API's videos.list method to retrieve the video resource.
$response = $this->youtube->videos->listVideos("statistics",
array('id' => $this->id));
$googleService = current($response->items);
if($googleService instanceof Google_Service_YouTube_Video) {
return $googleService->getStatistics();
}
} catch (Google_Service_Exception $e) {
return sprintf('<p>A service error occurred: <code>%s</code></p>',
htmlspecialchars($e->getMessage()));
} catch (Google_Exception $e) {
return sprintf('<p>An client error occurred: <code>%s</code></p>',
htmlspecialchars($e->getMessage()));
}
}
}
YouTube Data API v3 URL Sample
Source Link
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?key=[YOUR_API_KEY_HERE]&fields=items(snippet(title,tags,channelTitle,publishedAt),statistics(viewCount))&part=snippet,statistics&id=[VIDEOID]
look at yt:statistics tag.
It provides viewCount, videoWatchCount, favoriteCount etc.
Here an example that I used in my TubeCount app.
I also use the fields parameter to filter the JSON result, so only the fields that I need are returned.
var fields = "fields=openSearch:totalResults,entry(title,media:group(yt:videoid),media:group(yt:duration),media:group(media:description),media:group(media:thumbnail[#yt:name='default'](#url)),yt:statistics,yt:rating,published,gd:comments(gd:feedLink(#countHint)))";
var channel = "wiibart";
$.ajax({
url: "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/"+channel+"/uploads?"+fields+"&v=2&alt=json",
success: function(data){
var len = data.feed.entry.length;
for(var k =0; k<len; k++){
var yt = data.feed.entry[k];
v.count = Number(yt.yt$statistics != undefined && yt.yt$statistics.viewCount != undefined ? yt.yt$statistics.viewCount : 0);
}
}
});
Here is a simple function in PHP that returns the number of views a YouTube video has. You will need the YouTube Data API Key (v3) in order for this to work. If you don't have the key, get one for free at: YouTube Data API
//Define a constant so that the API KEY can be used globally across the application
define("YOUTUBE_DATA_API_KEY", 'YOUR_YOUTUBE_DATA_API_KEY');
function youtube_video_statistics($video_id) {
$json = file_get_contents("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=statistics&id=" . $video_id . "&key=". YOUTUBE_DATA_API_KEY );
$jsonData = json_decode($json);
$views = $jsonData->items[0]->statistics->viewCount;
return $views;
}
//Replace YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID with your actual YouTube video Id
echo youtube_video_statistics('YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID');
I am using this solution in my application and it is working as of today. So get the API Key and YouTube video ID and replace them in the above code (Second Line and Last Line) and you should be good to go.
PHP JSON
$jsonURL = file_get_contents("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=$Videoid&key={YOUR-API-KEY}&part=statistics");
$json = json_decode($jsonURL);
First go through this one by uncommenting
//var_dump(json);
and get views count as:
$vcounts = $json->{'items'}[0]->{'statistics'}->{'viewCount'};
You can use JQuery, don't forget to replace Your-Api-Key string from the code below, follow the link to find your own Api key google developers console
<script>
$.getJSON('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videospart=statistics&id=Qq7mpb-hCBY&key=Your-Api-Key', function(data) {
console.log("viewCount: ", data.items[ 0 ].statistics.viewCount);
});
</script>
This probably is not what you want but you could scrap the page for the information using the following:
document.getElementsByClassName('watch-view-count')[0].innerHTML
