Getting access to the Google Pay API for Passes - api

I am currently trying to get access to the Google Pay API for passes. I am following the official guide provided by Google: https://developers.google.com/pay/passes/guides/basic-setup/get-access-to-rest-api
Unfortunately I can't even follow the first step, as the sign up form for Google Merchant seems to be offline. The URL where I expect the form just forwards me to an FAQ page.
Has anyone had similar issues lately.
Any kind of help or information is appreciated! Thanks.

Moving discussion from comment to answer to include image.
Hard to say if we're seeing the same thing. This is what I see when visiting https://support.google.com/pay/merchants/gethelp?visit_id=1-636549173956235486-3194546471&rd=4
Is this what you see?

You need to go straight to step 2. Access the API Console.

Can I track if someone clicked a link on my Twitter post

I have a private business Twitter account and I would like to know when someone clicks any link inside one of my posts. This solution cannot assume that we know the form of the link being posted.
For example a twitter post like this:
Have you guys heard of this amazing site called google?
I would like to see how many people clicked on this google.com link. I don't need to know any specific information about who they are, just if it was clicked or not.
Ideally I would want this from the API but crawlers and plugins are also possible. I would like to avoid using a paid tool but those would be acceptable.
I think you have multiple choices:
Use google firebase or google analytics
Create your own short link services by python or any other programming languages.
Just search in the google and look for short link generators which gives appropriate service.
Hi using the twitter api you should be able to understand how many clicks a link has.

But to have all this info automated you might need to use a third-party tool.
This should be the most straight forward solution.

Can firebase authentication work with docusaurus?

I want to use authentication service given by Firebase in my static website created by Docusaurus. is this possible ?
Thank you in advance
I want to help you with this problem since I got the same one. However, my previous answer was deleted because I attached my detailed blog on this matter only. I will try to give a better one this time so that the answer will reach you and others.
Can you use authentication for your Docusaurus, yes, you can. There is no official documentation on this, but the key point is that you swizzle the Root component, not allowed to render the content if no authentication state is provided via Firebase Auth since it is just ReactJS.
I wrote a detailed tutorial on this with full source code: https://medium.com/#thomasdevshare/docusaurus-authentication-with-firebase-c824da24bc51
Here is the full source code, you can clone and use it: https://github.com/thomasdevshare/docusaurus-auth-firebase
Just hope that my answer will get delivered this time.

How to acquire API key for Airbnb

I know that Airbnb haven't opened their API to the public yet, but searching the internet I found some people are using it.
I tried to contact them, and also Airbnb, but without any answers.
Does anyone here knows any contact email, page, or phone number that I can refer to?
I have read here that you can find your API key by looking at the requests that AirBNB uses in their own website. So use the web-developer tools in chrome, or firefox, or firebug in firefox and search trough the requests in the network panel until you find the key being used in any JSON request. Some urls contain this key param, you copy that :) works for me!
Oh BTW, i'd like to remind you that the API is currently not officially released to fetch data in the background while you are logged in. When you use this key, they'll know your identity. You might get blocked or at least warned by AirBNB for using their API while you are maybe not allowed to. Read their terms & conditions to make sure. I am not taking any responsibility, of course ;)
You can now find your API key on the meta tags of the source code when logged in to your dashboard. Search for canonical_host and you will find:
{"canonical_host":"www.airbnb.com","api_config":{"key":"<your-api-key>"}
Just to update this set of answers, the api is on the following address but you need to request access first.
https://www.airbnb.com/partner
It offers an FAQ that informs you about the process and it will always be updated
As far as I can tell, they have shut down this service as of today.
"Unfortunately, this is no longer available" will be what the API returns.
EDIT:
It started working again after a few days. Very odd, maybe an internal problem, or we were rate limited or something.
Log into Airbnb.com, open up the web developer console, go to the network tab, filter by type json, and look at the url and find "client_id".

How to get details of current user from Google APIs

I am sure that I am being very blind or stupid somewhere along the way but I have looked for this answer for a while and haven't come up with anything!
I have been working on getting my actionscript app working with Google's Oauth mechanisms which is all working great now but I can't for the life of me work out how to get details on the currently logged in user.
I want to get get the user's name (alias or full name I don't care) and a thumbnail url to display at the top of my app to make it clear who is logged in.
I have looked in general google api docs, drive docs and youTube docs and not found it anywhere...
I'm sure this is a really easy answer for someone to give!
Thanks
Add this to the scope -
https://www.googleapis.com/
auth/userinfo.profile
And after authorization is
done, get the information
from - https://
www.googleapis.com/oauth2/
v1/userinfo?alt=json
It has loads of stuff -
including name, public profile
url, gender, photo etc.

Instagram Login

I'm new to the Instagram API and I am very interested in using it to create a login for a site I am building as another option for the user to get access. I've had a brief look at the documentation but still have no real understanding on how this could be achieved. Any help/links/documentation would be very helpful.
Did you see this documentation? It is really spot-on so I would recommend taking a look and then if you still have specific questions about it just edit your question and I'll see if I can answer them.
