OK, I found a bug in the way order type was being set. This should be
fixed on live now. Give it a try and let me know.

This is something I'll have to look into and thus it will have to wait
until next week when I can make the time.

Hi Sam, Apologies for not responding more quickly. Were you able to
resolve the 'sort by' issue?

Jason, Any thoughts on what might be causing the problem?

All the best,

Hi Sam,

I believe Jason is working on adding the additional field. In the
meantime, please let us know if there's anything else we can help with.
I hear great progress is being made on the Social Entrepreneur API
search engine and widgets for Social Edge.

All the best,

Re: [SA-Dev] PayPal X Developer Challenge

2009-12-10T16:49:15Z

FYI: If anybody has an idea for how Lend4Health could use this, let me
know! We use PayPal for our transactions, and waived fees would be
amazing for us. We currently use ChipIn but if something could be
created for this contest that could work for Lend4Health, I'd be a
happy camper!

I don't know anything about developer stuff, but my one idea is that

Hi SA Dev,

Here's another link to a developer challenge / contest that some of you
may find interesting...

Re: Unique ID values for Entrepreneurs

That would be great if you could add that field in there. I am trying
to retrieve a single result set for a a specific user, but I have no
guaranteed way to do. I could use the short url, but it seems cleaner
to use something more appropriate.

Thanks Jason!

Re: [SA-Dev] Unique ID values for Entrepreneurs

2009-12-08T14:16:25Z

The source_id is not guaranteed unique within a result. It is guaranteed
unique from the source though (e.g. every Civic Ventures entry has a
unique source_id, but a Pop Tech entry may have a source_id that
duplicates a Civic Ventures source_id). This is because source_id is
defined by the source.

Unique ID values for Entrepreneurs

2009-12-08T01:44:34Z

Hi Jason and Peter,

Once again I have another question about the API: Is there a unique
identifying key available for each entrepreneur result? The
documentation describes source_id as

"source_id (id for social entrepreneur provided by award program)"

but does that mean they are unique for the entire SE-API data set?

Re: [SA-Dev] Re: Handling Long URI Strings

2009-12-07T19:06:13Z

OK, this string was 12k while the Apache's default limit was 8k. I've
increased the limit to 40k and it seems to be working.

However, the string you've provided has the query string characters
(?,&,=) url encoded and thus is doesn't really do the search as is here,
but it doesn't fail at uri length anymore.

Sorry, Google shortened the url in my post when they hyperlinked it.

The URL (minus the http://) is :

The string you sent here seems to work for me. What error message are
you getting?
