I am integrating Sonos using Control API.
In the login phase, the user writes username and password in the Sonos login page and authorizes the integration.
After that Sonos returns an authorization code back to my integration to use for calling api.
I would like to display the username in my application. How can you get it?
Unfortunately, there aren't any publicly-available APIs for getting the user information you are looking for. Given the sensitivity of any type of user information, we don't have any plans to expose APIs for getting this information in the near future.
The closest thing to a user unique identifier would be a householdId. This is documented here: https://developer.sonos.com/reference/control-api/households/.
Thanks,

https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard
I want to use auth token, while hitting the API, but the document is saying use the service.json for the credentials. i am following these doc. I am using "Google\Client()" with Laravel application.
https://developers.google.com/business-communications/business-messages/guides/how-to/agents?method=api
I am following these steps:
Login with google business account in the Dashboard
App taking multiple permissions as I have attached the permissions list and taking the auth token.
Open the chat box for the Business.
So please guide me, where i am going wrong. What is correct way to implement this.
Requirement:
I want to create a custom chat box for google businesses, Where business owner will login into the web app and He can easily manage the multiple business chats in one dashboard.
As per your given information, you have to be a partner of Google. As per google documentation, you need to be a partner of google and then you can create the agent and can send and receive messages. You can integrate the business messages API by following this documentation:
https://developers.google.com/business-communications/business-messages/guides
In this process, you need to be a partner of Google. The complete process is given on the link. If you follow this link, then you can use their built-in libraries easily and can send messages easily.
So far the permission for API, it might not be found for you because you might have to take permission for the particular project that is registered on google and then you will see the business messages API and you can enable it and use it. The reason as per the basic step:
https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/basic-setup
Sometimes, you have to submit the request form to take the API access for particular APIs. Or Share how are you using that API.
If you do not find a form for business messages API then you can ask for the information from bm-support#google.com. they mostly respond on a working day.
I'm a little confused on how authentication works in Instagram. I want to display Instagram posts on a widget. But if I manually generate a single access_token I'm worried about hitting the limit (5000/hour) as it is a large web application.
Here's what I'm thinking: Have each user authenticate with their Instagram account and store their access_tokens and use the tokens to query Instagram's API. So essentially each user will be presented with Instagram posts queried using their access_token. And if the token expired for whatever reason I can easily have them re-authenticate. I need each user to authenticate anyway for other purposes.
I am not sure if the server could re-authenticate while providing a seamless experience for users.
Is this the right approach or is my thought process completely off?
EDIT: So I decided to have each user authenticate and call the Instagram API with each user's access_token. Everything has been working great. However, while testing the authentication one of my test accounts, I received this message "We noticed some unusual activity on your account. We'll send you a security code to verify your account." Are my API queries seen as unusual by Instagram if I'm querying public posts by tag for example? I'm worried my approach will cause end users to have to verify and ultimately make my application viewed as spam.
EDIT: I was hoping an Instagram API expert could offer advice on this topic. My application has been continuously querying for posts without issue. So for now I'm sticking to having each user authenticate and call the API using their access_token. I may have given the wrong impression when I said the Instagram posts would be on a "widget". I didn't mean a simple Instagram feed on a website. So if anyone has used the Instagram API for large amounts of querying for their application, please share your approach if possible!
If the access_token is invalid, you will get an error response like this:
{"error_type":"OAuthAccessTokenException","code":400,"error_message":"The access_token provided is invalid."}
check for this and ask user to login again
The Instagram new API policy have become super strict. They are not allowing fetching public content at all. We are literally following all Instagram policies and still cant get approval of public_content.
Is there any workaround or any possibility of fetching the data.
This is the response that I have recieved from instagram
General issues:
Policy Violation (Ad network, Influencer network, Other related): Your
app should not attempt to build an ad network on Instagram, nor
transfer any data that you receive from us (including anonymous,
aggregate, or derived data) to any ad network, data broker, influencer
network, or other advertising or monetization-related service. In
working to build a high quality platform, we ask that you comply with
our Platform Policy
(http://wwww.instagram.com/about/legal/terms/api/).
Yeah, they now grant permissions only to applications with some specific usage cases.
According to Instagram official website, these are:
To help individuals share their own content with 3rd party apps
To help brands and advertisers understand and manage their audience and digital media rights
To help broadcasters and publishers discover content, get digital rights to media, and share media with proper attribution
Note that in order to get public_content permission, you need to fall under the 2nd or the 3rd use case. Otherwise, consider changing your application / service in such way that is now uses basic permission and acquires only your users' media.
There is no valid and legal possibility to fetch public data except for successful passing the Instagram permission review.

You need to enable scopes invividually for your client https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=APPCALLBACK&access_token=ACCESSTOKEN&response_type=code&scope=public_content in your browser, using your values for the uppercase words? This should enable your registered client to work with the public_content scope.
https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=xxxxx&redirect_uri=xxxxx&access_token=xxxxx&response_type=code&scope=public_content
your comment
Read the error message, did you supply a valid client-id from your instagram developer account. Did you setup a redirect_uri for that client? Do you authenticate to instagram to get an access token?
This worked for me this weekend. Double check the values you set in the url and call it directly in your browser.
I am trying to create a site where you can login with Google+, but I am having some problems understanding the Google+ API.
Can anyone explain to me how to fetch information, such as e-mail, name, id, etc. or give me a good link for a site where I can find some documentation about this.
Before you suggest me to this site I have already read it but not finding out how to fetch info.
Google+ Sign-In provides users the ability to authorize your application to retrieve data from the Google APIs based on the scopes that you set for your button. When a user authorizes your app, the sign-in callback returns you an OAuth 2.0 access token. This token gives you the ability to queries any of the APIs that your scope granted access to, this is not limited to Google+ APIs. You pass your access tokens to the API when you make requests.
Basically, you read the prereqs and didn't continue reading the API docs for the lower level details specific to the API that you are interested in. In this case, it sounds like you want to retrieve a person's profile (A "Person resource") by using the people.get method. At the bottom of that page are code examples for a variety of languages.
I am new to linkedin api. I have a doubt regarding the api.
I am integrating the api in my application, so different user have to register in the linkedin to get the data using that api? Can it be pre registered and the user can get the data whatever he wants.
Suppose user wants to search about company. He will type the company name and will get the names of the company related to search. He should not log in in linked in before searching.
Is it possible?
If you are using the JavaScript API, then yes, you may need to have the user log in each time as the JavaScript API's authorization is cleared every time the user closes their browser.
If you are using the REST API, you can store the user's OAuth token and use that to make the calls on behalf of the user, saving them having to sign-in each time.
