How to use microsoft cognitive api for emotion detection in faces?

I am trying to detect emotions in faces from an image uploaded. I can't seem to find any example code for emotion detection.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/try/cognitive-services/my-apis/?apiSlug=face-api&country=Canada&allowContact=true
I found this
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/emotion/quickstarts/javascript
but the url endpoint doesn't work. I then tried regular face api, but even that I get resource not found.
Does anyone know what's going one?
Thanks
var FACE = new function () {
this.listen = function() {
var camera = document.getElementById('camera');
camera.addEventListener('change', function(e) {
var imageFile = e.target.files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
var fileType;
//wire up the listener for the async 'loadend' event
reader.addEventListener('loadend', function () {
//get the result of the async readAsArrayBuffer call
var fileContentArrayBuffer = reader.result;
sendImage(fileContentArrayBuffer, fileType);
});
if (imageFile) {
//save the mime type of the file
fileType = imageFile.type;
//read the file asynchronously
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(imageFile);
}
});
function sendImage(fileContentArrayBuffer, fileType) {
$.ajax({
// NOTE: You must use the same location in your REST call as you used to obtain your subscription keys.
// For example, if you obtained your subscription keys from westcentralus, replace "westus" in the
// URL below with "westcentralus".
url: "https://westcentralus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/face/v1.0/",
beforeSend: function(xhrObj){
// Request headers, also supports "application/octet-stream"
xhrObj.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/json");
// NOTE: Replace the "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key" value with a valid subscription key.
xhrObj.setRequestHeader("Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key","my key");
},
//don't forget this!
processData: false,
type: "POST",
// Request body
data: new Blob([fileContentArrayBuffer], { type: fileType })
}).done(function(data) {
alert(data);
// Get face rectangle dimensions
var faceRectangle = data[0].faceRectangle;
var faceRectangleList = $('#faceRectangle');
// Append to DOM
for (var prop in faceRectangle) {
faceRectangleList.append("<li> " + prop + ": " + faceRectangle[prop] + "</li>");
}
// Get emotion confidence scores
var scores = data[0].scores;
var scoresList = $('#scores');
// Append to DOM
for(var prop in scores) {
scoresList.append("<li> " + prop + ": " + scores[prop] + "</li>")
}
}).fail(function(err) {
alert("Error: " + JSON.stringify(err));
});
}
};
};

Assuming you have your key, the request URL for Emotion API should be
https://westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/emotion/v1.0/recognize?
You may also want to take a look at this website. It got similar code.
Sorry I can't use comment function as I am new here and don't have enough reputation to do so.

Could you double check with your api region? Because this error occurs when there is no resource found for given api key in a region.
And for accessing emotions you will need to pass parameters to api which will give you attributes for faces in response which contains emotions.

Save 1st page of a PDF file using JavaScript

I need to extract 1st page of an uploaded PDF file(in SharePoint Online) & save it as a separate PDF file using JavaScript.
After some searching I found this. But I'm not able to understand how it works.
Please help.

As requested in the comment in a previous answer I am posting sample code to just get the first page in its original format, so not as a bitmap.
This uses a third party REST service that can PDF Convert, Merge, Split, Watermark, Secure and OCR files. As it is REST based, it supports loads of languages, JavaScript being one of them.
What follows is a self-contained HTML page that does not require any additional server side logic on your part. It allows a PDF file to be uploaded, splits up the PDF into individual pages and discards them all except for the first one. There are other ways to achieve the same using this service, but this is the easiest one that came to mind.
You need to create an account to get the API key, which you then need to insert in the code.
Quite a bit of the code below deals with the UI and pushing the generated PDF to the browser. Naturally you can shorten it significantly by taking all that code out.

Big fat disclaimer, I worked on this service, so consider me biased. Having said that, it works well and could potentially solve your problem.

Finally found a solution.
First converting the uploaded PDF to image using PDF.JS, done some customization in the sample code.
Then saved the 1st page image as PDF using jsPDF.
The customized download code,
$("#download-image").on('click', function() {
var imgData = __CANVAS.toDataURL();
var doc = new jsPDF();
doc.addImage(imgData, 0, 0, 210, 300);
doc.save('page1.pdf');
});

how to store array of objects using localstorage fron one file to other file

I am new to localstorage.I am trying to store json data in one file and retrieving the data in other file.Below is my json data which i have fetched from an url.I have tried storing feeds data using using localstorage now i am tring to fetch the data in other html file.But i am getting only the final object from the feeds.How can i get all the feed objects in other file.
{
"channel":{
"id":9,
"name":"my_house",
"description":"Netduino Plus connected to sensors around the house",
"latitude":"40.44",
"longitude":"-79.9965",
"field1":"Light",
"field2":"Outside Temperature",
"created_at":"2010-12-14T01:20:06Z",
"updated_at":"2017-02-13T09:09:31Z",
"last_entry_id":11664376
},
"feeds":[{
"created_at":"2017-02-13T09:07:16Z",
"entry_id":11664367,
"field1":"196",
"field2":"31.507430997876856"
},{
"created_at":"2017-02-13T09:07:31Z",
"entry_id":11664368,
"field1":"192",
"field2":"30.743099787685775"
},{
"created_at":"2017-02-13T09:07:46Z",
"entry_id":11664369,
"field1":"208",
"field2":"28.280254777070063"
}]}
One.html:-(here i am storing all the feeds data)
$.ajax({
url : "https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/9/feeds.json?results=3",
dataType:"json",
cache: false,
error:function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){
debugger;
alert(xhr.statusText);
alert(thrownError);
},
success : function(json1) {
console.log(json1);
json1.feeds.forEach(function(feed, i) {
console.log("\n The deails of " + i + "th Object are : \nCreated_at: " + feed.created_at + "\nEntry_id:" + feed.entry_id + "\nField1:" + feed.field1 + "\nField2:" + feed.field2);
localStorage.setItem('Created_at', feed.created_at);
var create = localStorage.getItem('Created_at');
console.log(create);
localStorage.setItem('Entry_id', feed.entry_id);
var entry = localStorage.getItem('Entry_id');
console.log(entry);
localStorage.setItem('Field1', feed.field1);
var fd1 = localStorage.getItem('Field1');
console.log(fd1);
localStorage.setItem('Field2', feed.field2);
var fd2 = localStorage.getItem('Field2');
console.log(fd2);
});
other.html:(here i am trying to fetch the localstorage data)
<script>
// Called on body's `onload` event
function init() {
// Retrieving the text input's value which was stored into localStorage
var create = localStorage.getItem('Created_at');
console.log(create);
document.writeln("<br>Created_at = "+create);
var entry = localStorage.getItem('Entry_id');
document.writeln("<br>Entry_id = "+entry);
var fd1 = localStorage.getItem('Field1');
document.writeln("<br>Field1 = "+fd1);
var fd2 = localStorage.getItem('Field2');
document.writeln("<br>Field2 = "+fd2);
}
</script>

Because you are over-riding the localStorage item in your for Loop.
The required for loop when simplified looks like:
json1.feeds.forEach(function(feed, i) {
localStorage.setItem('Created_at', feed.created_at); //Gets over-riden on every iteration
localStorage.setItem('Field1', feed.field1);});
That's why after the loop is completed. The Created_at field would only have the value of the most recently processed item in the array i.e. the last element. What you need to is create a corresponding array where each element would correspond to a feed item that you are reading from the API response.
Now, localStorage can simply store key value pairs. It doesn't have support for types like array. What you can do is something on these lines (Untested Code):
json1.feeds.forEach(function(feed, i) {
var feedsArray = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('feedsArray'));
feedsArray.push(feed);
localStorage.setItem('feedsArray',JSON.stringify(feedsArray));
});
Yes, You will have to check if feedsArray key exists or not and set it as an empty array the first time. I have deliberately not put in the entire code as it is quite simple and should be good exercise for you.
So, once you are done and you want to read all the feeds from localStorage. Just get the feedsArray key and parse it and then iterate over it. Put simply, the basic idea is to have a JSON array of feeds and store it as a string with key feedsArray in localStorage.
The code snippet I have given above can get you started toward the solution I propose.

The answer for the above issue is below.through which i got the solution.But not too sure if der is any wrong.

json1.feeds.forEach(function(feed, i) {
console.log("\n The deails of " + i + "th Object are :\nCreated_at: " + feed.created_at + "\nEntry_id:" + feed.entry_id + "\nField1:" + feed.field1 + "\nField2:" + feed.field2);
var feedsArray = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('feedsArray'));
feedsArray.push(feed);
localStorage.setItem('feedsArray',JSON.stringify(feedsArray));
for (var i = 0; i < localStorage.length;i++){
var savedArr =localStorage.getItem('feedsArray[i]')
}
});

var savedArr =localStorage.getItem('feedsArray[i]');
//feedsArray.push(savedArr);
}
console.log(savedArr);
document.writeln("<br>FEEDS = "+savedArr);

How to embed base64 encoded data in image after downloading data from Azure Blob Storage in Javascript?

I'm trying to embed an image using the base64 data pattern, instead of a URL reference. I first download the data from Azure Blob storage, using the Azure Node.js SDK:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-nodejs-how-to-use-blob-storage/#download-blobs
From what I can tell the data downloads as a string. But I'm not sure what to do with the string to get it into base64.
I need to encode the data as base64 and set the image source attribute. How do I do that?
Here is a snippet that shows what happens when I try to just embed the downloaded data directly:
cameraContainer.listBlobsSegmentedWithPrefix($routeParams.cameraId, path, null, options, function(error, result, response) {
result.entries.forEach(function(entry) {
$http.get(containerUrl + "/" + $routeParams.cameraId + "/" + entry.name + containerToken)
.then(function(successResponse) {
$scope.camera.imageUrl = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + successResponse.data;
}, function(errorResponse) {
});
});
});
I end up getting this error in the browser:
Also, if I try executing the following JS:
console.log(decodeURIComponent(successResponse.data));
I get this error:
Here is the raw data when logging to console

This is how I did it in our product. Please give it a try.
Essentially the data you're getting back is Uint8Array. First thing you would need to do is convert that array into string. You can use the following code to do so:
function Uint8ToString(array) {
var chunkSize = 0x8000;
var c = [];
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i += chunkSize) {
c.push(String.fromCharCode.apply(null, array.subarray(i, i + chunkSize)));
}
return c.join('');
}
Next, you need to convert this string in base64 format. Here's how I'm doing it currently:
var blobContentsAsString = Uint8ToString(blobContents);
var blobContentsAsBase64String = btoa(blobContentsAsString);
$scope.camera.imageUrl = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + blobContentsAsBase64String;
Do give it a try.

Creating a CSV file from a Meteor.js Collection

I've written my code so far and can get a list of all the records to show up on a webpage, however I need to be able to get it as a CSV (comma separated values) file.
Right now the page shows a list like follows:
Name Address Description
Bob 1 street Journalist
Bill 2 street Fireman
etc...
Anyway I can have meteor create a CSV file for download, instead of it showing up as a webpage with all the HTML markup?

Based on How to serve a file using iron router or meteor itself?
HTML:
<template name="blah">
Download the CSV
</template>
JS:
// An example collection
var DummyData = new Mongo.Collection("dummyData");
// create some sample data
if (Meteor.isServer) {
Meteor.startup(function() {
var dummyDataCursor = DummyData.find();
if (dummyDataCursor.count() === 0) {
for(var i=1; i<=100; i++) {
DummyData.insert({Name: "Name" + i,Address: "Address" + i, Description:"Description" + i});
}
}
});
}
Router.route('/csv', {
where: 'server',
action: function () {
var filename = 'meteor_dummydata.csv';
var fileData = "";
var headers = {
'Content-type': 'text/csv',
'Content-Disposition': "attachment; filename=" + filename
};
var records = DummyData.find();
// build a CSV string. Oversimplified. You'd have to escape quotes and commas.
records.forEach(function(rec) {
fileData += rec.Name + "," + rec.Address + "," + rec.Description + "\r\n";
});
this.response.writeHead(200, headers);
return this.response.end(fileData);
}
});
