I've searched Mapbox's API and have tested a few popular places, but can't seem to get correct results for geocoded street intersections. Does Mapbox's API have the capability to geocode intersections that's not documented? Is there a definitive answer or should I assume it's not possible (yet) and investigate other options, like MapQuest or Google?
Mapbox's Geocoding API does not support intersections at the moment. The feature request is being tracked on GitHub.
https://github.com/mapbox/carmen/issues/349
Intersections are not supported as of March 2016. I'll update this post if anything changes, but it doesn't sound like it's being actively developed from the response below ("working on potentially adding it").
Email response from MapBox support:
Supporting intersections is something that is not available at this time. The team is aware of it and is working on potentially adding it in the future. You can follow the progress here.

I am building an IOS app using SwiftUI and I have decided to use Google Places as it returns better results than MapKit. I am running into some trouble figuring out the use of Places API and. Places SDK for IOS.
I would like to know what is the Places SDK for iOS equivalent of the following Places API text search call which I am using to find all "sports clubs" near me:
var urlString = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=\(query)&key=\(googleApiKey)"
SDK Current Place only returns places nearby, and SDK Autocomplete only returns 5 results.
Thank you
Looking at their official documentation, that feature is not yet available on Places SDK for iOS. So making that Text Search web request is your only option.
There is however an existing feature request to add that functionality in that SDK. If you are interested in this issue, visit the Issue Tracker at the link below, and star the issue.

I am using FB Graph API to get the posts and comments from a Page. Just wanted to know if there is an option to convert the comments /content of any post to required language.
No, Facebook does not offer an API for that.
I am not sure if they are still using Bing for their live translation of content, or have implemented their own system by now. (I think I remember that in the past it used to say below such translations that they were handled through Bing – but that note seems to have gone.)
But using a service such as Bing or Google is probably your best option. (Not sure if they offers APIs for that for free though.)
I've tried a number of the solutions (e.g. pyGTrends) found here and suggested by others and had code of my own functioning several years ago, but it appears that at some point Google has changed the way Trends is accessed or at least the authorization required to download it.
Can anyone share code that downloads (with authentication) Google Trends data? Do I need to use OAuth 2.0 somehow.
I'm obviously completely in the dark here.
I have looked through the web and not found any information about if the Google Glass will have speech recognition in other languages than English? Like Google Now for example has a fine working recognition for Swedish.
Or do I need to implement some third-party recognition myself?
If anyone in the Google Glass Team has this info, this would be nice to know!
Thanx

I'm not on the team, but the usual response is that the focus right now is the US only and that they don't comment on future plans.
There are a lot of legal/regulatory issues to deal with before Glass can be supported in other countries, and they're still dealing with those issues in the US. They have demonstrated Glass to non-US government leaders, but not announced any formal support in those countries.
It is certainly expected that they will support Glass internationally, just like they support other products where possible, but that there is no indication when that support will be available.
I have used this to implement speech recognition on Google Glasses:

Easy to implement and to start with.

The presentation today indicated that there was support on Stackoverflow but I was wondering if there's a central location where all requests are being tracked for us to follow and vote on?
If you have a very specific request for the Glass Development Kit, the best place to file it is in the Glass API issue tracker. There's a Component-GDK tag being used for these requests.
In general, though, not much has been said about the GDK yet, so it may be a bit early to make specific issue requests until more context is available.
For now, if you're a member of the Explorer Program, the Glass Pioneers section of the Glass Community is a great place to discuss your thoughts on the GDK.
There's a "request new API Features" link on the Glass API issue tracker page, but it's not clear if that is the best place for GDK feature requests since a lot of the branding on the page lists it as the Google Mirror API issue tracker. There seem to be a few GDK-ish feature requests in that issue tracker though, so in the absence of any official information I'd probably submit them there.
