Codebird.js for Twitter API won't return more than one tweet in single call

Codebird.js is not working when I try to return a list of n number of tweets by adding to my params object.
It works when I include just the property screen_name to get a single tweet but when I add count in, as below, the response I get is still for only one tweet
params = {
"screen_name": screenName,
"count": "3"
};
I can't seem to find any codebird.js documentation besides the README.MD on the main github page.
Is my syntax correct? Am I approaching this the correct way by adding to params

Solved it. Turns out I was using the wrong api endpoint and should have been using statuses/user_timeline.
Note: Check this part of the docs to see how to map this endpoint's string to the right format https://github.com/jublonet/codebird-js#mapping-api-methods-to-codebird-function-calls

Using YouTube API on HTML page with Javascript

I am new to web development and am trying to make a very simple search page that displays YouTube videos using the YouTube API. I've been following the examples from here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/code_samples/javascript?hl=fr#search_by_keyword
but I'm not having a lot of luck. I have no errors but no search results either.
My current code is here: http://amalthea5.github.io/thinkful-tube/

There seems to be several problems.
You need to use
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=googleApiClientReady"></script>
instead of
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=onClientLoad" type="text/javascript"></script>
because you need to make sure the initialization function googleApiClientReady() in auth.js is called.
However, the Google API also reports that there exists no OAuth client with the ID trusty-sentinel-92304.
Edit:
If don't have an OAuth client ID, but rather an API key, you shouldn't use the auth API at all. Instead, you need to add the API key as parameter to each API call (as described here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/standard_parameters).
Try this as a start:
gapi.client.load('youtube', 'v3', function() {
var request = gapi.client.youtube.search.list({
key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
q: "cats",
part: 'snippet'
});
request.execute(function(response) {
var str = JSON.stringify(response.result);
console.log(str);
});
});

To begin with if you read the very tutorial you are following again, it says that:
Again, you need to update the client ID in the auth.js file to run this code.
Which looks like you didnt,
also by running a search query from the console I get the following error:
TypeError: gapi.client.youtube is undefined
Meaning the api is not initiated, You should double check the way you embed the google javascript file and the priority of doing so (the order of them)

How do implement jQuery autocomplete in Google App Engine with Python?

I found several sources discussing this problem, (this one seems the simplest but it is for PHP). I will be using an existing search form and I created AutocompleteResponse handler to handle the request. I don't understand from the documentation if it is required that the data sent will be in json format or an array of string is ok. I am not sure about what information to send either. I created a new model with search history
class Search(db.Model):
owner = db.UserProperty()
date= db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True)
query = db.StringListProperty()
and I want to send the relevant query suggestions to autocomplete. Any help to examples whether in documentation or otherwise is welcome. Thanks.
Update
I put this just before the closing </body>
<script>
$('#search_form').autocomplete({
source: "http://ting-1.appspot.com/autocomp",
minLength: 2});
</script>
in my Autocomp handler I put
data = json.dumps("abc, def")
I naively think that data will be passed to jquery autocomplete plug in. But nothing is happenning. What am I doing wrong?

Just tried this and it worked:
data = ['cat','dog','bird', 'wolf']
data = json.dumps(data)
self.response.out.write(data)

anyone tried google translate api v2 (and got it working)?

I've been experimenting with google translate api v2 but I couldn't get it working.
this is the current code i have: http://juzcode.com/z.html (just visit the page and view source)
I can use google translate api v1 though: http://juzcode.com/y.html
Does anyone know why google is rejecting my request in the page http://juzcode.com/z.html?

API v2 uses a different system for generating and validating keys, so you need to get a new key. Go to http://code.google.com/apis/console/ and sign up for one.
If you want an easier way of testing this, you can go to the URL directly. So if I go to https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?q=hello%20world&source=en&target=de&key=(my key>), I get the following:
{
"data": {
"translations": [
{
"translatedText": "Hallo Welt"
}
]
}
}

I recommend using: http://code.google.com/p/jquery-translate/
I used their code before v1 was deprecated and I only had to update the query.translate.js file they provide and add one line of code to what I previously had: $.translate.load('API-KEY'); and it worked perfectly!

Using last.fm API in javascript

I have very little experience with web development. I have a little experience with HTML and I am learning JavaScript right now. I created a program in Java using a a last.fm library for Java. I was able to get user information, artist information, and venue information. Now I want to try and do that in a webpage, which is where my problem occurs.
I'm using the javascript last.fm api given here http://github.com/fxb/javascript-last.fm-api
I've downloaded all the .js files and they are in the same directory as my .htm file.
This is my code so far.
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lastfm.api.md5.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lastfm.api.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lastfm.api.cache.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var cache = new LastFMCache();
var lastfm = new LastFM({
apiKey : 'c9946d11aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace',
apiSecret : '9dabf9aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaxxx11ec3c7a993',
cache : cache
});
lastfm.artist.getInfo({artist: 'The xx'}, {success: function(data){
/* Use Data */
}, error: function(code, message){
/* Show error message. */
}});
</script>
</body>
</html>
I've dug around in the included .js files to try and understand what is going on. So on my initialization of lastfm, I am passing in some objects with associated values, which are then applied to lastfm. If I try and access them through document.write(lastfm.apiKey) I get an undefined value, which I don't really understand.
Also I see that I am calling getInfo and passing in 'The xx' and everything that follows. I don't understand how to use that Data that I believe is returned as a JSON response. How can I print the bio that is associated with that artist?

the code that should go where you have written /* Use Data */ will refer to items such as data.bio. Try alert(data) to see what's in there.
I would also highly recommend using a JavaScript debugging console such as FireBug in order to really see what's going on.

i just used this, and yeah. you just need to console.log(data) in the success to get info about the data that is being passed back from last fm
