I'm using Google Maps URLs from my web site page to provide a direction to my user. It works fine and launch automatically Google Map app. on mobile phone. To do that I'm using the lat, long destination coordinates extracted from my database. Each destination point have a name in my database, like PA_1155 or LDN_078... I would like to display that name on the destination point on the map but I didn't find anyway to do that. Is there any additional parameter that I missed ?
As of this writing, the Maps URLs documentation does not include information on any facility/parameter you could use to pass this arbitrary "destination name" and have it be displayed in the resulting Google Maps view.
Purely speculatively, this is likely a deliberate design choice to prevent manipulation of the resulting maps to show inaccurate information to end users. In the interest of protecting its users, I would say it's unlikely that Google would ever enable this sort of functionality.

I’m trying to build application with backend in java that allows users to create a text with images in it (something like a a personal blog). I’m planning to store these images to s3 bucket. When uploading image files to bucket i’m hashing the original name and store the hashed one in the bucket. Images are for display purpose only, no user will be able to download them. Frontend displays these images by getting a path to them from the server. So the question is, is there any need to store original name of the image file in the database? And what are the reasons, if any, of doing so?
I guess in general it is not needed because what is more important is how these resources are used or managed in the system.
Assuming your service is something like data access (similar to google drive), I don't think it's necessary to store it in DB, unless you want to make faster search queries.
I have a collection of profile images from customers I need to be able to pass a selfie of the person and scan it across the collection of images and pull up the customer information.
Need to do the following using AWS Rekognition -
Create a collection - Done
Add Images to the collection - Whats the REST API syntax for this
While adding the images to the collection also tag it with the customer name.
Take a selfie portrait and search across the collection and return the tag information which matches.
Im using Flutter as a platform hence there is no support for AWS SDK so will need to make REST API calls.
However the AWS docs don't provide much information for REST support.
The APIs are documented. For example to detect faces in an image and add them to a collection, see IndexFaces.
I'd personally recommend getting comfortable with Rekognition via the awscli (or Python/boto3) briefly before you move to the Rest API.
On the name tagging front, you assign an 'external ID' to faces when adding them to a collection. That external ID is the correlator that you supply and that Rekognition stores. Later, when you ask Rekognition if a given face matches one already in a collection, Rekognition will return you the external ID. That can then be used as a lookup into some database that you have to identify the person's name, date of birth, or whatever.
I know there have been similar questions in the past but I have tried many solutions given online to no avail. I am just not able to hide internal traffic for Google Analytics on my Django site.
I am setting the filter from Admin->View->Filters. Have tried Predefined and Custom both with fixed IP as well as a regex pattern. (Yes, I have double checked my IP from whatismyip.com and I am using the right one)
I read somewhere that it takes time for the filters to come into effect, so even waited for 24 hours but I still see a lot of internal traffic.
Google Tag Assistant is also tracking the pages when I access them from internal IP (not sure if its supposed to know about the filters)
Not sure where could I be going wrong.
(I am using reverse proxy but hopefully that wouldn't change anything since the google analytics code is run on the client side)
Do not use any filter on the default view (called 'All Website Data'). Create a separate view and then create a filter on it. That will work.
(After struggling with it for a few days, this response helped me with the above fix)
I struggled with this as well, so here is what I found out.
Note that real time reporting can take up to 2hrs to catch up to and reflect analytics configuration changes such as the addition of filters.
Possible solutions
1) As suggested in the other answer, leave the default view as default and create an additional view for the filters:
The default view collects
all traffic. You need to create a new view for which you can apply
your filter. Check out item 3 here

2) Filter IP v6, not v4:
Exclude the ipv6 address as mentioned in above post. This is the one
that "what is my ip address" returns. It's not the ipv4 syntax
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) However, I have noticed that wired machines that
stay connected seem to keep the same ipv6 IP (the 31 digit sequence),
however wireless accounts (mobile phones, tablets) tend to be dynamic.
However, as posted above if you use just the first 15 digits of the
sequence and use the "begins with" filter type, it will block
the devices using the same shared router (ie. internet router in your
home)
About filtering only the first 15 digits:
I think it is meant to filter the first four blocks, so if your IPv6 looks like 2601:191:c001:2f9:5c5a:1c20:61b6:675a, then filter IP that begins with 2601:191:c001:2f9:.

I am developing a integration between a desktop application and Amazon MWS and need to be able to offer users a choice of categories to put the product they are listing into. My problem is that I can't find any way of programmatically getting the current categories from MWS using the API.
Additionally once I have a category reference to use I will need a way to the pull in and add the category specific XML child of ProductData (eg Home, Jewelry, Computers, etc) but they don't seem to be linked in any well defined way. For example, I can't say "if the chosen category is reference nnnnn ask them to populate the Computers specific ProductData", unless I write something myself to map them.
Has anyone else come across these problems and found a workable solution?
Any help appreciated...
I am currently exploring the option of limiting users to only selling products already listed on Amazon but still can't figure out how to pull in the correct category specific XML.
There are various product look-ups but they all seem to work from either my SKU (which will not yet be there) or Amazons ASIN (which I don't yet know)
You can use amazon advertizement api for this.
You have to create account on amazon affiliate programme.From that you have to get security credentials also .
After That go to BrowseNode Tree Page and download root categories list and save it to file or database.From there you get categoryname and their browseNodeId.
Then call BrowseNodeApi to get Child Categories for parent Category.
Please Follow This Link

I am working on doing some simple analytics on a Django webstite (v1.4.1). Seeing as this data will be gathered on pretty much every server request, I figured the right way to do this would be with a piece of custom middleware.
One important metric for the site is how often given images are accessed. Since each image is its own object, I thought about using django-hitcount, but figured that was unnecessary for what I was trying to do. If it proves easier, I may use it though.
The current conundrum I face is that I don't want to query the database and look for a given object for every HttpRequest that occurs. Instead, I would like to wait until a successful response (indicated by an HttpResponse.status of 200 or whatever), and then query the server and update a hit field for the corresponding image. The reason the only way to access the path of the image is in process_request, while the only way to access the status code is in process_response.
So, what do I do? Is it as simple as creating a class variable that can hold the path and then lookup the file once the response code of 200 is returned, or should I just use django-hitcount?
Thanks for your help
Set up a cron task to parse your Apache/Nginx/whatever access logs on a regular basis, perhaps with something like pylogsparser.
You could use memcache to store the counters and then periodically persist them to the database. There are risks that memcache will evict the value before it's been persisted but this could be acceptable to you.
This article provides more information and highlights a risk arising when using hosted memcache with keys distributed over multiple servers. http://bjk5.com/post/36567537399/dangers-of-using-memcache-counters-for-a-b-tests
