Is there a way to tag pages using the OneNote API?

I've looked through all the OneNote API documentation and samples, and I can only find a single API call, Create Page, which only seems to accept HTML content for that page. I have other metadata that I want to pass in from another service, namely tags.
Is there any way to do this currently?

You are correct. As of today, the current API only supports a simple Create page method and we don't support tags yet. But we will be adding new features over time quickly; please see and comment on our API roadmap. Also, you can submit or vote on your feature suggestion at the OneNote API Feedback site.

C# data scraping from websites

HI I am pretty new in C# sphere. Been in php and JavaScript since the beginning of this year. I want to scrap posts and comments from a blog. The site is http://www.somewhereinblog.net
What I want to do is
1. I want to log in using a software
2. Then download the html
3. Then use regular expressions, xpath whatever comes handy to separate the contents of posts and comments
I been searching all over. Understood very little. Though I am quite sure I need to use 'htmlagilitypack'. I dont know how to add a library to c# console or form application. Can someone give me some help? I badly need this. And I am not too into C# just a week. So would be grateful if there is some detailed information. Waiting eagerly.
Thanks in advance brothers.

Using Webclient you can login and download
Instead html-agility-pack I like CsQuery because lets you use jQuery syntax inside a string in C# code, so you can download to a string the html, and search and do things in it like with jQuery and HTML page.

Perform a Google text search with C Sharp or PHP?

Going to Google code page I couldn't find the API I should use to perform a basic web search. All other resources I found point to Google Base API but it is no longer available.
What I need is to be able to sumbit a query string and get back a list with site names. For example, I need to find the first results when searching for "champions league" as if typing the query on the Google page.
What is the correct API to use for text searches these days? Are there any librariries for PHP or C Sharp?
EDIT: I found PHP code on the Net that sends requests to ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web. I checked it out and it actually returns search results :) Do you know where I can find info for this endpoint and from what API is it part? Also, Custom Search API as suggested by #Rickard doesn't seem to provide this basic functionality. I tried to use it but it asks me to enter the sites I want to search in. I don't want to search particular sites but all.
Thank you

Check out the Google Custom Search API

I found this to work just fine, as the Google API is great unless you need to search +100 times per day, then they charge you. This is a simple solution to this problem, but only works for string searches and not image searches.
Search for "turtle":
string searchString = "Turtle";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("www.google.com/search?q=" + searchString);

jQuery + C# code to resolve URL's from user-supplied text

I'd like to add some kind of simple URL resolution and formatting to my C# and jQuery-based ASP.NET web application. I currently allow users to add simple text-based descriptions to items and leave simple comments ('simple' as in I only allow plain text).
What I need to support is the ability for a user to enter something like:
Check out this cool link: http://www.really-cool-site.com
...and have the URL above properly resolved as a link and automagically turned into a clickable link...kinda like the way the editor in StackOverflow works. Except that we don't want to support BBCode or any of its variants. The user experience would actually be more like the way Facebook resolves user-generated URL's.
What are some jQuery + C# solutions I should consider?

There's another question with a solution that might help you. It uses a regex in pure JS.
Personally though, I would do it server-side when the user submits it. That way, you only need to do it once, rather than every time you display that text. You could use a similar regex in C#.

I ended up using server-side C# code to do the linkification. I use an AJAX-jQuery wrapper to call into a PageMethod that does the work.
The PageMethod both linkifies and sanitizes the user-supplied string, then returns the result.
I use the Microsoft Anti-Cross Site Scripting Library (AntiXSS) to sanitize:

And I use C# code I found here and there to resolve and shorten links using good olde string parsing and regular expressions.
My method is not as cool as the way FaceBook does it in real time, but at least now my users can add links to their descriptions and comments.

Using C# to retrieve data from a Google search

Here's what I want the program to do:
Read a text file (the text file contains random search criteria like "sunflower seeds", "chrome water faucets", etc) to retrieve a search phrase.
Submit the search phrase to Google and retrieve the first four URLs.
Retrieve the Google Page Rank of each of the returned URLs.
Being a neophyte C# programmer, I can handle #1 easily. Unfortunately, I've never dealt with using the Google APIs before. I do have a Google API key and I'm aware that there is a search limit using the API. At most, I'll probably use this on a dozen search phrases (or "keywords") per day. I can do this manually, but I know there has to be a way to do this with a C# program. I've read that this can be done using AJAX, but I don't know AJAX and I'd rather this just be an executable program on my PC rather than a web-based app. A push in the right direction from someone would be a big help. Also, I really don't want this to be a "screen-scraper", either. Isn't there a way that I can get the info (URLs and Page Rank) from Google without having to scrape a returned HTML search page?
I don't want anyone to write the code for me, just need to know if it's possible and a push towards finding the information on how to accomplish it.
Thanks in advance everyone!

Look into the WebClient class
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webclient(VS.80).aspx

Try this:
googleSearch = #"http://" + #"www.google.com/#hl=en&q="+#query;
where query is the string of your search.
