I think the title says it all. We have a site that uses a URL parts to specify locale, category, product, and product variation. For example:
/[country-code]/[category-slug]/[product-slug]/[variation-id]
As we support about 10 different locales, and some products have up to 30 variations, if we change a category, we can sometimes be trying to purge up to 1500 urls.
Is it possible using the Akamai CCU REST API to add a wildcard value, say for the country code, or variation id?
/*/[category-slug]/[product-slug]/*
I have seen some mentions of wildcards around but I'm not sure if they're supported by the API
This should be possible. When you go to CCU, click on "Refresh by Directory & File Extension". Hope this helps.
You can do a purge by CPCode.
I've just written a getting started guide for the CCU API:
https://community.akamai.com/community/developer/blog/2015/08/19/getting-started-with-the-v2-open-ccu-api?sr=stream
The only difference for your case is that you'll want to allow purge by CPCode, and set up a CPCode for the file areas you want to purge at once.

In AWS I can find under:
Cloudfront >> Reports & Analytics >> Top Referrers (CloudFront Top Referrers Report)
There I get the top25 items. How can I get ALL of them?
I have turned on logging in my bucket, but it seems that the referrer is not part of the log-file. Any idea how amazon collects its top25 and how I can according to that get the whole list?
Thanks for your help, in advance.
Amazon's built in analytics are, as you've noticed, rather basic. The data you're looking for all lives in the logfiles that you can set cloudfront up to export (in the cs(Referer) field). If you know what you're looking for, you can set up a little pipeline to download logs, pull out the numbers you care about and generate reports.
Amazon also makes it easy[1] to set up Athena or Redshift to look directly at Cloudfront or S3 logfiles in their target bucket. After a one-time setup, you could query them directly for the numbers you need.
There are also paid services built to fill in the holes in Amazon's default reports. S3stat (https://www.s3stat.com/), for example, will give you a Top 200 Referrer list in its reports, with the ability to export complete lists.
[1] "easy", using Amazon's definition of the word, meaning really really hard.
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:.

What I wanted to achieve is pretty simple, if you send a request to some address, the response you get is a single integer number, like 13 for example. I think it is equivalent to hosting a .html page with single number on that page and then I can parse that string in my application. (It is a Unity game, using the WWW class to send the request.)
(This is actually a version number. If it is greater than what I stored in my app I would update it and then send another request to other place and retrieve something bigger)
I am looking for the cheapest way that can handle this. I planned to use AWS but confused what component should be use? S3? EC2? Lambda? CloudFront?
If you think doing this on a web hosting or Heroku or something else is better, I also wanted to hear about it.
To serve up a simple value, S3 should do the trick.
Create a bucket in the console, using lonely lowercase letters, digits, and dashes in the name. The name has to be globally unique among all of S3, so make up something unique. We'll call the bucket name example-bucket.
Create your file on your computer with the desired contents. If plain text, call it version.txt.
In the AWS console, select the bucket, and upload the file. While clicking through the "next" screens, put a check next to "make everything public" and accept the defaults. Upload the file.
Now, go to https://example-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/version.txt in your browser and verify (using your actual bucket name. That's your download link.
Done. As long as you don't expect to handle over about 800 requests per second, this will do exactly what you want.
Review the S3 pricing, of course.
Although this question is suitable for Server Fault,
EC2 using nginx or apache web server will be sufficient.
Put Load balancer in front of EC2 instances.
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
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/ProgrammingGuide.html
code for calling BrowseNodeApi
SignedRequestHelper helper =
new SignedRequestHelper(appConfig["AWSAccessKey"], appConfig["AWSSecretKey"], appConfig["endpoint"]);
string url = helper.Sign("http://ecs.amazonaws.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&Operation=BrowseNodeLookup&BrowseNodeId=" + value + "&AssociateTag=beginners00-00&Version=2011-08-01");
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
// Get response
using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
{
}
and also download SignatureGenerator class HMAC
Is it possible to find all the new Amazon products in a specific category using the Amazon Associates Web Service or any other tool ?
I tried also the RSS which give only 10 results and it is updated only once in few months. Do you have any other ideas ?
Once you know the Browse Node for the category you're interested in, you can use the BrowseNodeLookup operation with the NewReleases ResponseGroup to get some new products in that category; looks like you get 10, even in a busy category like Music ยป Alternative.
They don't say anything in those pages about getting more, and NewReleases is only a valid ResponseGroup for BrowseNodeLookup operations and not, say, ItemSearch, so I don't think you can get more than 10 new releases per category.
