Cannot Find Place ID - web-services

I see that others have asked this question, but I haven't seen any 'how-to' answers for businesses that can't find their Place ID.
When I type my business name and address into the place id finder it does not return any results.
My business on google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Fancy+Fox/#41.6057788,-93.8500368,11z/data=!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sfancy+fox+des+moines!3m4!1s0x87ec24217b23e6fb:0x3cbf2ea78697e2ff!8m2!3d41.5973725!4d-93.701036?hl=en
Thank you for your help!

Try GMB Toolbox to decode your location to a Place ID http://gmb.reviewsmaker.com 😊

There are a couple of things you should be aware of:
Once you added your business in Google My Business you have to wait some time (probably up to 7 days) while the business will be available in the place autocomplete service.
If you created a Service Area Business, it probably won't appear in place autocomplete due to the following issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35831063
As I can see, you have indeed created a Service Area Business, it has a polygon on maps.google.com. I would suggest reaching out directly to Google support in the public issue tracker and ask them to help get a place ID.
UPDATE
As of March 2018 you can now search all businesses place IDs using the Google My Business place ID finder:

Is there a Google Places API return field for restaurant dining options (ie. Dine-In, Takeout, Delivery)?

During the pandemic around March, Google started allowing business owners to tag their restaurants with the dining option they offer in light of the pandemic.
Here is an example of these tags
I was wondering if the Places API (or any other Google API) has the ability to return these dining types. I've checked the docs for the Places API and it seems to only be capable of returning the business' business_status which only includes OPERATIONAL, CLOSED_TEMPORARILY, CLOSED_PERMANENTLY and not the fields I am looking for.
Would the only other way to obtain these tags be by web scraping a search result?
I just spoke with Google support and they said no. There is also no plan in the future to add these data points to the JSON.
They gave me some workaround ideas but nothing realistic. Let me know if you find a workaround! I am trying to gather this data as well.

Oracle Apex multiple level approval workflow

I am building the issue tracker application similar to the one in oracle docs.
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11945/issue_track_obj.htm#BABIIBBF
In short a dynamic approval workflow, where multiple approvers can be added or deleted using tree structure.
I am not asking anyone to design this for me, but any help in atleast giving a brief overview of how this can be done or if someone has done it, maybe tips would be very valuable.
Vini,
From a high level you would need to define a DEPT_APPROVERS Table which lists for each department who the individual approvers are. Then you could send notifications to all of the approvers listed based on which Department is assigned to the person making the request.

Google Place API usage limitations and billing(2019)

After the deprecation of google place picker I have to custom made it.I have to use google places API.
Let's say I have estimated hit of 1000/day for APIs like
1. Place Search
2. Place Autocomplete
-provided by place picker package.
The billing documentation is so complex I am unable to understand.
What I understood is:
a. Addition of billing account by adding credit Card is mandatory now
b. for Place Picker 150,000 hits/24 hours is free (after I exhaust the limit, what will happen? Will my app show error or I will be charged?)
I am new to this field. Can anyone help me by proving the required info. Thank You.Is there any alternate option also please mention.
Here is the pricing tab for Maps, Places & Routes.
If you have more detailed questions regarding costs it will be better idea to contact Billing department.

Amazon AWS / Rakuten API - Inventory Management

I am sure this question may seem a bit lacking, but I literally do not know where to begin with. I want to develop a solution that will allow me to manage ALL of my Amazon and Rakuten/Buy.com inventory from my own website.
My main concern is keeping the inventory in sync, so the process would be as follows:
1.Fetch Orders sold today
a.Subtract the respective quantities
2.Fetch Rakuten orders sold
a.Subtract the respective quantities
3.Update Internal DB of products
a.Send out updated feeds to Amazon and Rakuten.
Again, I apologize if this question may seem a bit lacking, but I am having trouble understanding how exactly to implement this, any tips would be appreciated
For the Amazon part look at https://developer.amazonservices.com/
Rakuten, I think you will be able to do what you want with it via the FTP access, I'm still researching this. If I find more I'll respond with a better answer.
In order to process orders, you'll need to use be registered with Rakuten in order to get an authorisation token. For the API doc etc... try sending an email to support#rakuten.co.uk.
Incidentally, to send out updated feeds, you'll need to use the inventory API in order to update stock quantities (given that you'll be selling the same item Amazon etc..).

Creating apps for facebook groups possible or not?

I'm a member of a facebook group that has contests with artists on a weekly basis. There are over 5000 members to this group, fortunately not all of them participate because at the end of each week there is a voting for the favorite/best artwork of that week. And the admins have to manually go through image by image and count votes. Voting is limited to those who participate in the contest, so the artist places their vote as their image description... or part of it anyway.
I wanted to create an app that would retrieve the photo info from the album to build a list of the submitted images and the artists to make counting votes much easier.
I have, in fact, created such an application but it seems it only works on personal profiles and pages... not groups due to the need to be on a "white list". It strikes me as strange when a group is "OPEN" and an app isn't even allowed to read data there, but OK.
My question is if it is possible to get an app on that white list or at least to build an app specifically for a group for this purpose? I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to find any information on this subject. So, I am asking you all here at stack overflow since you all seem to be in bed with facebook in someway. I am just hoping to get a reply from someone that knows something rather than guessing or assuming.
The last contest had 325 participants and it was entirely too many for a poll.
I do not know if this topic has already been addressed... I used the search but stack overflow uses Google for a site search and because these topics are paginated Google has indexed results to be on a certain page but when you go there the topic is nowhere to be found... not very helpful...
Anyway, thanks for your time and I would be most appreciative of getting a reply rather than the post just getting buried to the point nobody will see it...
I was wondering the same thing for a similar reason.
It appears not:
user_groups
Provides access to the list of groups the user is a member of as the groups connection.
This permission is reserved for apps that replicate the Facebook
client on platforms that don’t have a native client.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.0#reference-extended-profile
If anybody discovers otherwise I'd love to know.
I don't know the exact answer of whether apps can be built only for groups without short-listing, but here is an alternative solutions.
If the purpose of this exercise is to limit some functionality (or entries) only to those users who are a member of a group, then why not get the "user_groups" permissions from the user, access his groups through the Graph API and flag users as either being a member of the group or not and extend the functionality accordingly. Perhaps you could even limit registrations to only those who are currently members of the group.
