This is an example of a Business on Google Maps
It has elements attached such as:
Reviews from various sites (qype, viewlondon, etc...)
Details provided by various sites
Photos and other content
I don't know how to go on about retrieving such Business and associate any items generated on my website.
What I have implemented up to date is a system using geocoding (geopy) which once given an address, it gives back Latitude and Longitude, but such system does not help me with this dilemma.
What you want is this API:
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/local.html
Also check this:

By writing a relay server script you could do things like this, which obtains most of that information with a different layout. I don't know if it's legal to do that.

I want to scrape the data from an ArcGIS map. The following map has a popup when we click the red features. How do I access that data programmatically?
Link : https://cslt.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=2c9f3e737cbf4f6faf2eb956fa26cdc5
Note: Please respect the access and use constraints of any ArcGIS Online item you access. When in doubt, don't save a copy of someone else's data.
The ArcGIS Online REST interface makes it relatively simple to get the data behind ArcGIS Online items. You need to use an environment that can make HTTP requests and parse JSON text. Most current programming languages either have these capabilities built in or have libraries available with these capabilities.
Here's a general workflow that your code could follow.
Use the app ID and the item data endpoint to see the app's JSON text:
https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/2c9f3e737cbf4f6faf2eb956fa26cdc5/data
Search that text for webmap and see that the app uses the following web maps:
d2b4a98c39fd4587b99ac0878c420125
7b1af1752c3a430184fbf7a530b5ec65
c6e9d07e4c2749e4bfe23999778a3153
Look at the item data endpoint for any of those web maps:
https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/d2b4a98c39fd4587b99ac0878c420125/data
The list of operationalLayers specifies the feature layer URLs from which you could harvest data. For example:
https://services2.arcgis.com/gWRYLIS16mKUskSO/arcgis/rest/services/VHR_Areas/FeatureServer/0
Then just run a query with a where of 0=0 (or whatever you want) and an outFields of *:
https://services2.arcgis.com/gWRYLIS16mKUskSO/arcgis/rest/services/VHR_Areas/FeatureServer/0/query?where=0%3D0&outFields=%2A&f=json
Use f=html instead if you want to see a human-readable request form and results.
Note that feature services have a limit of how many features you can get per request, so you will probably want to filter by geometry or attribute values. Read the documentation to learn everything you can do with feature service queries.
We have a company program designed to help us get control over data. It has feature to group all the application of one Client. If I want to take a look at them I click on the Client and I see a list of all applications made for him. Take a look at the picture below:
I was wondering if Microsoft Access can do the same? If yes where should I start looking?
I did some internet search and no solution found.
That is built in, and it is called Subdatasheet. You have relationships properly set between Clients and Order, for instance, when you open the Clients table you will see such small "+" allowing to view the Orders of the current client. You may have to set the Subdatasheet Name property of table Clients to "Orders" in this case.
If you want to work with forms, you can build a continuous from for Clients, then one for Orders, then insert the Orders subform in the Footer of the Clients form. Access might tell you you can't do this, just ignore, it works.
In Access that would simply be a continuous form with a filter. Typically opened from a list of clients, setting a filter for the applications of the selected client.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the question.
I'd like to enter a URL into google and get all options chain data for a particular stock. Is there a guide that shows you how to use it, like if I wanted to grab all options that expire in the next year without knowing the individual expiration dates, or if I just wanted a particular strike price? I found another question that gives me the basic outline, but doesn't specify the details:
Finance historical options data (with strikes etc) on google finance API
Here is an example on how to do this using the ImportHTML function, although there is a delay in the data of course.
=importhtml("http://finance.yahoo.com/q/op?s=QQQ&m=2013-12","table",0)
I'm creating a application where the user will type in the name of a video game and a query will be sent to a servlet. I want this query to search the amazon product database and if the game is found i want to grab the information such as the name, publisher, platform genre etc and add this information to my database. Just like price grabber does. There is an example below.
http://video-games.pricegrabber.co.uk/nintendo-ds-games/m/25813985/details/st=product_tab/
Can this be done and if so what will i need to know and learn to do this.
I believe you should be able to use the Amazon Product Advertising API to query for this kind of product information. However the current Terms of Use appear to restrict you from storing the data into your database for more than 24 hours.
I am looking for a free database (csv, tab delimited, xml, etc) or even a web service or API which will allow me to query for business listings within a certain distance of a latitude and longitude.
A global scope would be perfect, but I would settle for Canada/US information.
Does anyone know of anything like this?
Google AJAX search API offers this kind of service (local search) if you use the Google Maps API, see http://code.google.com/intl/fr/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation/
Apparently Yahoo! does too (see http://developer.yahoo.com/search/local/localSearch.html), if you do not plan a commercial use.
If you want to do this right, here is what you need:
Database of all locations, with long/lat coords
Database of all businesses
Address --> long/lat conversion system, if your business database is not already geocoded
I can't help you out with the business database, but here is a good resource for the "all locations" database:
http://www.geobytes.com/freeservices.htm
(Scroll down to the bottom of the page - you're looking for "GeoWorldMap".)
It contains a set of text files that are designed to be imported into a relational database. It's the most complete (free) resource that I've been able to find for this sort of task.
The Google Maps Places API provides exactly what you're looking for: https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/search
