Methods and systems for implementing a repository of customizable itineraries are disclosed. Based at least in part on user input, trip components are selected from a repository of itineraries based at least in part on user input from a first user. The trip components represent events or locations. Recommendation input for customizing the trip components is obtained from additional users. A customized itinerary is selected based at least in part on the itinerary and the recommendation input. The customized itinerary comprises one or more user-selected modifications to a chronological order or one or more user-selected substitutions to the set of trip components. The customized itinerary is stored in the repository of itineraries.

Methods and systems for implementing a trust-based social graph for travel planning are disclosed. Social data is obtained from one or more social network services. Based at least in part on the social data, trust scores are determined between an entity and a plurality of additional entities. For one of the additional entities, the respective trust score is determined based at least in part on a respective relationship score and a respective similarity score for the additional entity. One or more respective connections are generated in a social graph between the entity and one or more trusted entities of the additional entities. The one or more respective connections with the trusted entities are generated based at least in part on the respective trust scores.

Components associated with application entities can be grouped into one or more component groupings. A grouping can include, for example, components that include or specify parameters and settings for a gameplay entity of a gaming application. The grouping of components enables a single component group to be displayed through an editor interface instead of all the individual grouped components, which simplifies the view through the interface. A user can select important parameters to be exposed at the group level, such that those parameters can be accessed and set without having to access and search through the individual grouped components. The grouping can also be saved and used to develop subsequent entities, which can simplify the development process and ensure that necessary components are included for specific entity types.

Technologies are disclosed for integrating a live streaming video service with other computing systems and services. A live streaming video service exposes a network service API through which requests for identifiers for live video streams can be submitted. An API request can include context data obtained or generated by a user device, such as data defining the state of an application executing on the user device or data identifying the type of user device making the request. The context data can also be obtained or generated by an application store system or a merchant system. The context data and metadata associated with live video streams can be used to select one or more of the live video streams. Unique identifiers corresponding to the selected live video streams can be returned in response to a call to the API. The identifiers can be utilized to access the corresponding live video streams.
