Systems and methods provide an application programming interface to offer action suggestions to third-party applications using context data associated with the third-party. An example method includes receiving content information and context information from a source mobile application, the content information representing information to be displayed on a mobile device as part of a source mobile application administered by a third party, the context information being information specific to the third party and unavailable to a screen scraper. The method also includes predicting an action based on the content information and the context information, the action representing a deep link for a target mobile application. The method further includes providing the action to the source mobile application with a title and a thumbnail, the source mobile application using the title and thumbnail to display a selectable control that, when selected, causes the mobile device to initiate the action.

Providing contextual actions for mobile onscreen content

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for tracking presentation of content. In one aspect, a method includes segmenting a video into two or more segments. Each segment of the video can be a variably selected disjoint subset of the video. A client-side video player determines that playback of the video has reached the end of one of the segments. A presentation type for the video is determined, where the presentation type being one of an advertisement presentation or a non-advertisement presentation. The playback data is provided to a server-side data processing apparatus that stores the playback data in a data store. The playback data indicate the presentation type for the video and that playback of the video reached the end of the one of the segments.
