I am definitely looking forward to seeing more projects like these which will be helpful in transitioning us from Web2.0 to Web3.0
I think the main hurdle we face in transitioning the web we know today to the vision behind all these projects is companies that have already aggregated huge volumes of data. (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Angelist, CrunchBase, Yelp)
They are now doing their best to protect their data to secure their competitive moat. This has the effect of preventing data from being utilized in other ways than was originally intended.
I did write a post about this topic before around 3 months ago as well..
I don't see any match related data from StatsZone at the moment, but I have created an API for the world cup related news articles that are being published on the site.
Will update again once I got another API setup for StatsZone when ready.
By the way, how often do you guys need data refresh for? Once I get some feedback I could tweak my app to increase the number of frequency.
Also please do ping me if you want to register your webhooks. My app only supports only one webhook per API at the moment. I will try to get it properly extended so that all your webhooks can get registered.
My name is Gary. I am currently working under a H1B1 visa. My sponsoring company has tried without success to apply the H1B visa for the past three years. The lawyer is advicing that I proceed to applying for the green card.
The lawyer states that at this point, even if I get awarded the h1b visa since the time under the h1b1 will be counted towards the h1b, I will not have enough time using the H1B to get thru the green card application process
Also during this green card application process, it's advised for me to remain in the US otherwise I will get in complications when entering to with a H1B1 that has a outstanding green card process
I have two questions:
1. Is what she said about the h1b1 time contribution to the h1b true?
Edmodo is a social network for K-12 students, teachers and parents. The goal is to connect learners with the resources they need to bring out their full potential.
A simply analogy is LinkedIn for Educational Resources around the world.
We have 50million registered teachers and students on our platform.
We are actively looking for front-end, back-end, full-stack engineers and dev ops to join our team.
I found the one click action for selecting an entire column of values as well as the UI/UX on the top column of the page to be very impressive. We were thinking of a nice clean way to represent that particular UI/UX flow in this browser extension we built as well. Will incorporate that in our next release.
HTTPS is definitely a problem for proxy servers unless you the proxy server rewrites all the URLs in the html pages loaded as well as all the URLs of the Ajax calls to point back to the proxy server.
The route of proxying the web page presents much difficulty in doing actual authentication on Facebook or Google's website via the proxied webpage without first rewriting most of the javascript and hijacking their Ajax calls on the fly.
The approach I took was to hijack the Cookies from the browser once the user has signed in after on e.g. Facebook via the browser extension.
The route of proxying the website does in fact do away with the need to install any external 3rd libraries.
This browser extension I built coupled with the web service its integrated to does allow for scraping of pages from Facebook, Google and LinkedIn logged in pages as well.
Interesting, I encounter the same set of problems as well last year when working on two side projects. Ended up building a webscraping service with a point and click interface on top of it : https://krake.io

The first challenge I see with data as a service is that not all features you need for your model will be made available by the vendor.
The second is their frequency of update might not be at the cadence that you need.
