Interactive statistic dashboard

Challenges

The main challenges resulted from the risks and limitations in accessing data from external websites through the API issued by them. Our challenges were related to:

  • 1 / 5

    Limited requests in two-way communication imposed by Google My Business API (applies to the functionality of downloading and automatically responding to reviews published on the Google website).

  • 2 / 5

    Limited requests in two-way communication imposed by the Facebook API (applies to the publication of posts and automatic reposting from fan pages other than the fan page of a given location).

  • 3 / 5

    The use of anti-spam filters in one-way communication with Facebook and Google My Business (functionalities for downloading and automatically responding to reviews published on the fan page).

  • 4 / 5

    Implementing the messaging module that allows communication with fans or applicants in the fastest real-time

  • 5 / 5

    E-mail parsing and assigning to the specific location.

Solution

We solved the above challenges thanks to proprietary scripts sending data in random packets and time intervals (so it was possible to bypass the limits). Additionally, concerning individual modules, the queuing mechanisms we developed allow for limiting the sending of requests at one time. Proprietary scripts will also enable us to download vast amounts of data and pack them into smaller packages assigned to specific modules, thanks to maintaining the website's smoothness. The data is presented in real-time.
