I created a simple API in cloud endpoints v2 using Java. I see there is one parameter with the name of fields in the API Explorer for partial response. But
this is not working for me.
I saw YouTube API which is using this. How can I implement it in my own API?
I'm not able to find any documentation.
Unfortunately, this is explicitly called out as an excluded feature of Endpoints 2.0 Java right now.
Here's an excerpt from that page for posterity:
Currently excluded features and tools
...
fields partial responses
However, the page does suggest submitting a feature request using the GitHub issue tracker if it is something that you would like to see in Endpoints.

I am trying to build a simple web app using jHipster. Currently I am trying to build a simple stock entity that will enable a user to input the stock name and the entity should generate a listing of that stock with open, high, low and close data. I am unable to figure out how to integrate the web app with a third party API that supplies the data. I could not find any documentation regarding this issue online. Thank you.
I found this tutorial on implementing API's that might help.
What you need to do is create an HTTP client that can access your API.
I'm not too familiar with jHipster but finding the proper library to import seems like a good first step. Good luck.

If you aren't sure which language to choose, a great way to narrow down the selection can be to find an API you want to implement and see if the company provides a client library. A library is code that the API owner publishes that already implements the client side of their API. Sometimes the library will be individually available for download or it will be bundled in an SDK (Software Development Kit). Using a library saves you time because instead of reading the API documentation and forming raw HTTP requests, you can simply copy and paste a few lines of code and already have a working client.
I want to make an app which will use Google's Blogger API V3. But I've got stuck at the setup part. I've made an API key on developer console. I've read trough several tutorials and samples and everywhere they use this object
Blogger
For example here:
Blogger example
I downloaded the Java client library, copied to my application's libs folder, added to the build path, but still can't use this Blogger object.
Java client library
Where can I get the library that contains the Blogger object?
It depends what do you want to do with the Blogger API. If you want to access non-public data you should use Oauth2.0 to authenticate so for that I suggest reading this
https://developers.google.com/android/guides/http-auth#retrieve_the_account_name
Then you will probably want to send request to your API (POST,GET, DELETE or others) in order to perform actions such as post on your blog, retrieve comments or posts from your blog.
I have found this link very usefull

I'm trying to implement Google Plus login in a web application.
Currently following this guide.
As I'm using Java on the server side, I am trying to follow the Java code snippets. My callback uri points to a servlet. Currently on step 8, I encountered my first real problem: I cannot validate the retrieved token, because Oauth2 class is not present in the Google API client library.After some googling, I found this, and it looked promising, but after carefully comparing the two, the included jars are exactly the same as the Google API client - neither contains the Oauth2 class.After more searching, I found some documentation that mentions the class I am looking for, but I am not able to find the jar containing it.
My question is: where can I find the Oauth2 class if not in the two packages mentioned above?
Found it in the Maven repository.

In the Google Drive API there is something called custom file properties - https://developers.google.com/drive/web/properties - and they can be used to add your own as key/value pairs:
{
'key': 'additionalID',
'value': '8e8aceg2af2ge72e78',
'visibility': 'PRIVATE'
}
I would like to do the same in a desktop Java application with the Dropbox Core API, but I cannot find anything. Am I missing something or is this simply not available in Dropbox Core API?
If there is something, please provide an example of how it would be used in Java. Thanks!
Looks like Dropbox has begun to implement this feature.
In API v2 there are such endpoints:
properties/template/add
properties/template/get
properties/add
properties/remove
properties/update
and so on.
Details looks at API Documentation.
But all of them are marked as:
PREVIEW - may change or disappear without notice
Good luck with it.
The Dropbox API now offers the (now non-preview) ability to add arbitrary key/value data to Dropbox files via "file properties":

If you're using an official Dropbox SDK, there will also be corresponding methods for these endpoints.
I'm trying to write a simple Java desktop app to query Google and get the results. I've read so many articles in the past few days. I know that I have to do it through the GWT (Google Web Toolkit), the API that Google offers to programmatically query its search engine. My problem is that the GWT seems to be useful only to construct AJAX applications. I just want to write a simple desktop app. I am not interested in Javascript, XML or any server side application. Isn't there a way to do it?
Sure, take a look at this approach.
The general idea is that you make an HTTP fetch (using vanilla java.net.HttpUrlConnection or Apache HTTP Client). The magic is in the forming of the URL with the search term, and in the processing of what you get back from Google.
For the exact details on how to do this, see Google's REST search API documentation, including this section.
You can always get a license for the webservice and get the results returned through SOAP, however you did say that you were uninterested in XML. Shame, thats the quickest way. There is always doing a direct request to google through the query URL, since it uses HTTP get.
