You can certainly go […]

flickr photo shared by OSU Special Collections & Archives : Commons with no copyright restriction (Flickr Commons) As part of a future project, I’m looking for easy, automated ways to push/pull CSV files around. Initially I thought I’d just do the =importdata(‘http://theurl.com/data.csv”) function but I realized that had some drawbacks that made it less ideal […]

I often end up confused about some of the Google Script stuff so I’m putting this out there in case it helps others. The following script does a few things that you might want to do all based around a Google Form submission. It creates a folder, adds editors to the folder, puts the folder […]
Kin Lane mentioned that IFTTT, a service entirely built on APIs, doesn’t have an API. That bothered Kin and the more I thought about it it bothered me. So I figured I’d start disentangling myself from IFTTT. One of the things I did with IFTTT was to send out a Tweet any time I posted […]
Because I love Alan. Here’s the API version in Google Script to grab YouTube stats. It does a bit more than the previous XPath version and you can set it to be triggered repeatedly. I’m going to add a loop to add multiple videos etc. in the near future but it’s a good start for […]
