Well like the title suggest I am having a strange problem with the api oauth2.0 I wanted to play with the API in the sandbox before deploying live like any sane person to start pulling call recordings. Well when I was setting up the Oauth and it was a pain but I got to work, or at least I thought until it asked me to add an address for the sandbox profile after accepting all the other steps in order to go any father. Every time I tried to add the address from the zapier login window it kept telling me it failed to try again later. I thought no big deal I will just add it from the user profile and well what do you know that didn't work either. I than made a new extension with a new number and email to see if it was just the account that was messed up, or if the dev account couldn't use the api for whatever reason but again no dice same problems all the way down. I even tried using three different browser to see if anything would change but no dice (not like that really matters everything is chrome based these days). I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem, did I miss something really simple that I am clearly over looking since I am running on 4 hours of sleep for the last two days.
If anyone could help I would appreciate it, love a very tired programmer.
In case anyone runs into the same problems, make sure when making a POST request to ring central you put the paramotors in the body of the request.

I found a lot of posts about this issue, but none is like mine.
I have a website that subscribes to IG real-time updates. Since some time ago trying to subscribe to new notifications returns the above error. Seems like IG can't reach the callback_url.
Interesting findings while troubleshooting:
I tried to manually (directly) access the callback_url and it works flawlessly.
When I run the site on my local machine and make sure the callback_url is to my server + the verify_token is a valid one then it all works as it should! IG reaches the callback_url.
I used the apigee console to make the subscription request and there it sometimes works.. Meaning - I craft the request to IG API and click Send. If it fails then I click again (I don't change parameters) and then it works..
Web server logs are in line with the results I get (when it complains it can't reach then there's no log of a request).
Does anyone have any tip or suggestion how to fix this?
Thanks!
While chasing my own tail for a solution I also contacted IG support. I described the issue using same description as above.
After 2 weeks suddenly everything started working again. Magic! Suddenly no errors at all! Needless to say nothing has changed on my end (hardware / network / code).
I didn't receive any response from their support, but considering that a previous email to them a few months ago took about 2 weeks to answer then I am quite sure some support guy simply fixed the issue on their side and didn't even bother to let me know what was going on.
This could be related to the fact that they killed most of their real time notifications API.
Anyway, leaving this here so that if anyone encounters a similar issue then just know you may need to email IG support.
I am sick of the absolute pile of rubbish that is the paypal sandbox for numerous reasons but one thing that is annoying me especially at the moment is the login cookie length. It lasts all of 5 minutes before you have to log in again. You lose the page you were on and end up back at the dashboard after punching in your password for the 500th time that day.
I am testing reference transactions (another completely embarassing sandbox implementation) and whenever I go to check or change something in the account I am using to pay I am logged out.
Is there any way to force it to keep me logged in for longer?
if you are logging into another account to pay, this is why you are being logged out. try using another browser, or private browsing to keep your logins separate.
I work with the sandbox every day and I don't have any issues in general. Not sure why you would be talking so badly about it.
The session thing is something PayPal does (like any financial website) to protect people. Yes, it's the sandbox, but it's meant to simulate the live PayPal site, so that session will act the same.
As for your comments about reference transactions, I guess you'll need to expand on that. I've thoroughly tested reference transactions in the sandbox for numerous projects and have never had any issues with it.
One thing I could recommend that would help with typing in the password over and over (as well as help you maintain good password standard practices in general) is to use LastPass. You'll never have to type a password again.
Another option would be to setup a local solution using the TransactionSearch and GetTransactionDetails APIs. For example, I've started something like that with my PayPal Glass project, which is essentially replicating the PayPal interface with my PHP class library. Notice that I don't have any sign in protection on that at all, so it never times out or anything.
It's a little more effort up front, but you can save lots of time in the future with projects like you're working on. If you're working with PHP you could grab that PayPal Glass project from GitHub and just use it with your own sandbox.
I had a really frustrating issue recently with Tweetdeck, a tool to manage multiple twitter accounts. Since we get feedback and support questions on Twitter accounts with our projects, it is MUCH easier to see all the information in one place. That said, I had a recent issue and couldn't find ANY help online. I was able to find and test a workaround though, and have decided since it helped me I should post it here.
First, let me explain the exact issue, so you can see if my solution might work for you (YES, I already have the answer and posted it below)
I know my Tweetdeck was working previously (as I had multiple accounts). Since some of the projects were going away, and new ones were starting, I removed the existing ones and started trying to add the new ones.
The twitter page would come up asking to authenticate, then after typing in the information, I would get a generic "You have been logged into Tweetdeck, please return to the application" in the new window, but when closing it, I would not be logged in on Tweetdeck with the other account (only the original one)
I tried NUMEROUS steps to fix this including some of the following (NONE of these steps worked):
Tried different computers (with different Operating Systems). These included Windows 7 and Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) and more than one browser (Google Chrome, Firefox, etc). I also tried clearing cache, cookies, history, etc.
NOTE: I also tried to contact both Tweetdeck and Twitter support, neither of which have ever responded to any question I have ever had in years.
So the initial question was... "How do I get Tweetdeck to authenticate with other accounts successfully" with the error "You have been logged into Tweetdeck, please return to the application", but the new accounts do not actually authenticate and I cannot use them in Tweetdeck.
After extensive attempts to find a way to make my Tweetdeck work once again, I found a workaround that has worked great for me. I am not sure exactly why this works, but I have a feeling it has to do with the difference between the authentication method of just Tweetdeck online vs. the Google Chrome App.
On a whim, I decided to install the actual Google Chrome App plugin (as I was running out of options). Then, when using the app, it succeeded with no problems.
While I have posted an answer that works for me here, I would appreciate any comments that might give more real information (not guesses) on why this happened. If there is something else I can try so that I am not limited to the Google Chrome App if I want to add new accounts, I would also be happy to try those possible solutions. Please make sure to read my question which covers what I have already done.
NOTE: Since I have a working workaround, if your solution will take substantial effort, I will probably not try it .
I am having a problem here. I am totally new to this concept of servers and web services and being able to get data uploaded and retrieved on different devices, but I want to learn it, say if I want to create an app like Instagram.
But that is EXACTLY what I dont want, a link to a long tutorial on the internet on how to create the most complex app ever, I want to start slow. After doing extensive power searches on Amazon there are basically no books that will help me. So I want to start slow, here is my goal:
Get a great understanding of how web service backends and servers work and be able to apply it in other app ideas I have and want to start developing
I would like to start by being able to create an app that allows a user to enter some text into a field, it uploads to the server, another device can press a button to retrieve the text and display it in a text view.
I do not know php, and every single tutorial I have entered on this website is literal mindeff, the reason for this is because everyone has a different solution, sync web service backend with Core Data, MySQL, parse, Rails and it truly overwhelms me because I do not know which one to pick! And even worse some people provide code but I have no understanding whatsoever, and its like looking at a totally new language!
I am not asking for code, in fact that is the exact opposite. I am asking for someone to really lay out their knowledge, how does it all work? What is the best tool? Some resources and links. Nothing too complex...
I hope you can truly understand my extreme confusion and frustration. I think the reason might be is I might not be ready yet for all this, but I want to push forward and carry out my app idea!
Thank you...
Update:
I have finally decided on a web service I would like to use, it is the Amazon S3 web service, I am still not fully comprehending the full process though, any help or ideas!?
Since you wanted to create an Instagram-type app, look at this: http://www.raywenderlich.com/13511/how-to-create-an-app-like-instagram-with-a-web-service-backend-part-12
This is a good link to servers: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC71D7CFB6AF935E6&feature=plcp. Watch the list to get an understanding of servers.
Maybe you want to read up on sql. Understanding sql will help.. Again: http://www.youtube.com/course?list=EC32BC9C878BA72085&feature=plcp. Watch the list to get an understanding of sql...
I can pass you the link and you got to do the work....
Hope this helps...
I have been asked to set up a demo site which calls out to WorldPay to authorise transactions.
We won't have a MerchantID or anything like that yet, is there a dummy service that you can call that is either on the internet at-large, or is downloadable and you can install locally?
I've obviously had a look around and so far come up with nothing - it's a straightforward answer so wondering if anyone on here knows off the top of their head?
Thanks
Was a few years ago but as far as I remember:
If you (or your client) are going to be signing up with Worldpay then they provide both live and test accounts.
I seem to remember that you have to put a successful transaction through the test account before they will activate the live one for you.
Thier support dept used to be very helpful so I'd suggest just giving them a ring
It's in their interests to get you up and running so they can start charging you for it
