I was looking into Microsoft Graph Postman Collections but could not locate the tenantID, serviceURL or userID?
Is there a way to fetch userID, tenantID and serviceURL from MSTeams?
As the other answer mentions, you can get this via the "context" object, which in turn means you need to create a Teams application, and it must include a Tab. There is another similar option, which is to create a Bot for Teams, and when the user installs the bot, either 1-1, or into a channel or group chat, you get the chance to retrieve that information. You can see more about that here, including some options based on the type of bot and when you want to retrieve the information.
If it's ok to have an app, then simply go ahead with this approach. If you really don't -want the user to interact with an app, then you could consider the following:
create the application (e.g. a bot) in order to get the context you need
Auto-install the bot, as per this Graph call
Retrieve and save the information in the conversationUpdate, which is fired when you bot is installed by the user / team / chat
Auto uninstall the app using this Graph call
However, you haven't explained why you need those bits of information. That set is often used to send a proactive message from a bot, and if that's what you're trying to do, you'll need the bot anyway.
Please take a look at Get context using Microsoft Teams javascript library.
// Call the initialize API first
microsoftTeams.initialize();
// Check the initial theme user chose and respect it
microsoftTeams.getContext(function (context) {
if (context) {
console.log(context);
}
});

I'm developing a webhook, and I want it to be able to #mention specific users. The simple message format specifies using the format of <users/123456789012345> to #mention a specific users. Since this is not a bot, it is not processing an incoming message and cannot pull the from the sender field, as suggested in the note on the developer site linked above.
How can I get the USER_ID of a user on my domain?
I am in the same boat as you. Trying to use a Webhook to mention a user.
If you inspect the HTML on https://chat.google.com, using web/dev tools, you can actually see user ID under tag data-member-id="user/bot/123456789012345"
Using the above I tried to form a webhook that mentioned the user (in my case another bot).
Unfortunately it didn't work. Passing in the string <users/123456789012345> please test came through to chat as a string literal.
It's strange because the html links and markup DO get interpreted. As mentioned here. Edit: so does <users/all>.
I'm leaving this here since your question asks for how to elicit the ID. While it may not be pretty, or much automatable, it helped me get the user ID at least.
Edit 2: It works, just not to mention my other bot for some reason. But using this method I was able to mention a human user :)
I use this for find the USER_ID but if you have another way let me know
Right click on the user and select inspect
Search for data-member-id this is your USER_ID
A webhook will not be able to pull the USER_ID of a user. As a workaround for this, you can create a service account and a bot that has access to the room and use the REST API spaces.members.list() and spaces.members.get() method.
Note: The bot will need to be added to the room.
Okay, so in order to get the UserID without having to do all of the things that you're trying to do here you need to use the Admin SDK API in google app script. Basically what you'll want to do is use your google app script as an intermediary for what you're trying to do. So you'll post something to google app script via their web exec functions on a deployed app and then have that app communicate to the google chat API via something like this:
var googlewebhookurl = 'https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/ASDFLKAJHEPQIHEWFQOEWNQWEFOINQ';
var options = {
'method': 'post',
'contentType': 'application/json',
'payload' : JSON.stringify({ text: "<users/000000000001> I see you!" })
}
UrlFetchApp.fetch(googlewebhookurl, options);
To start, you'll need to add the Admin SDK API to the services in your google app script services area. So click the plus next to "Services" and then select the Admin SDK API and click add to add it to the services, it winds up showing up in the list as "AdminDirectory" once it has been added to the services.
This is an image showing what it looks like once you've added it to the services.
Here is a link to the documentation for the Admin SDK API getting user information: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/advanced/admin-sdk-directory#get_user
You should be able to copy and paste that example function to get the information you're looking for regarding the user. I'm pasting the example code below in case something happens to this link:
/**
* Get a user by their email address and logs all of their data as a JSON string.
*/
function getUser() {
var userEmail = 'liz#example.com';
var user = AdminDirectory.Users.get(userEmail);
Logger.log('User data:\n %s', JSON.stringify(user, null, 2));
}
In order to get the user id, take the user variable that comes back and access user.id and voila! You have the ID you're looking for. From there just plaster it into a text message in google chat and you should be in business. I haven't gotten it to work with cards at all yet. I'm not seeing any documentation saying that it's supported in cards at all. For more information regarding chat messages and cards take a look at these:
https://developers.google.com/chat/api/guides/message-formats/basic

I know there are reports of various issues when trying to pull pictures posted by 'private' users. We are working on a project that we want to use the real-time api for. After a private user approves our account, we are able to view images posted by them through the api's as expected. In addition when searching by tag we see their images. The real-time API reports the image when we subscribe to the user endpoint. We want to subscribe to the tag api, the issue is that while everything else works with private users, for some reason when a private user posts an image with a tag for which our client has subscribed, the notification is not set. It is working fine for public users, and if we search (without real-time notification) we are able to see the image. The only thing I can think of is that for search to work we must use our access key for our account (not the posters), not our clientid, perhaps real-time needs to use the same security by accesskey rather than client id?
You are correct:
we must use our access key for our account (not the posters), not our clientid
Because the privacy permissions are per-account, if you are making authenticated API calls on behalf of the user, this will not work. In theory, if you kept your hourly API calls under the 5000 limit, you could technically proxy or cache the private photos, however, rather than looking at a complicated workaround, you're better to just adhere to the API ToU:
If your application has any cached copies of User Content that has become "private," you must remove such User Content as soon as reasonably possible.
The realtime API is a bit different than the regular API as well, in that while you may or may not receive a notification of a post (it's not the most reliable service), it does't contain any data, and you're still going out to fetch the relevant data using either your own access_token, your app client_id/secret, or an authenticated user token.
I am very new to MVC, really liking it just getting used to everything.
One thing i would like to implement is the google log in (done) with ability to use the response as a way to get to the calender and the contacts API.
I am trying to find something that would speak to providing an API key with the RegisterGoogleClient method found in the AuthConfi.cs file.
I have registered an app with google and have the key that would request permissions for the calender and contacts. just cant seem to find the missing link for including this key with the RegisterGoogleClien.
Ideally i will be able to get the key passed in, user will see request for permissions to the additional items and then the OAuth key provided will be usable with the GData NuGet packages.
Thanks in advance!
ps- i am guessing i need to use the overload that allows for passing in a dictionary but can not find any documentation on that as well, probably just looking in the wrong place but i have been looking for a few days.
At the moment I have the same problem as yours. I can authenticate the user (log in with google), but I cannot retrieve the user contacts. The access_token that is returned from gmail is not valid for accessing the user contacts. I need to authenticate the user, and in the same time to send my client_id and secret of the application that is registered at the google console. Then with that access_token probably I will be able to retrieve the user contacts.
RequestSettings r = new RequestSettings(app, access_token); // how to get the access_token ???
//if i have new RequestSettings(app, user_email, password); it works
ContactsRequest cRequest = new ContactsRequest(r);
Feed<Contact> feedContacts = cRequest.GetContacts(user.email);
List<string> list = new List<string>();
foreach (Contact gmailAddresses in feedContacts.Entries)
{
// Looping to read email addresses
foreach (EMail emailId in gmailAddresses.Emails)
{
list.Add(emailId.Address);
}
}
I'm writing a Rally app using REST service calls and JQuery. I'd like to customize app behavior to the current user, i.e., show their default project. Is there a way to get a username or ID for the current auth session? The closest I've found is this website url, which redirects to the userid (if you request it while logged in).
https://rally1.rallydev.com/#
But is there a real way to do it? A REST call would be nice, but I guess that's not RESTful?
You can make a request to https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.38/user.js and it will return results for the currently logged in user.
Include UserProfile and DefaultProject in your fetch and any other fields on Project, Workspace, WorkspaceConfiguration and UserProfile objects and you should be able to get most of the info you're looking for.
If you're using SDK 2 some of this information is already available in the current context:
Rally.environment.getContext().getUser();
Has anyone successfully implemented the Google Identity Toolkit, an implementation of an Account Chooser. I followed the initial steps here, but I still have a few questions, as I don't quite know how to handle the entire data flow. I'm using Clojure / Compojure in the back-end:
http://havethunk.wordpress.com/2011/08/10/google-identity-toolkit-asp-net-mvc3/
http://code.google.com/apis/identitytoolkit/v1/acguide.html
A) don't quite understand how ID Provider authentication, fits into my data model
when implementing the callbackURL, what data should I expect, and
how's that session state managed by GITkit (and all Account Choosers)
B) Is there a way to set this up the 'callbackURL' for development.
the identity provider would need a URL that it can redirect back to
C) How can the GITkit / Account Chooser workflow let my users register an account that's native to my app?
Thanks in advance
The questions aren't entirely clear, but I've done an implementation of GITkit in ruby and can give you some pointers.
A) The callback URL is what handles the assertion from the identity providers. Rightnow GITKit only does OpenID, so the URL will contain an OpenID response either in the query parameters or as the POST body. You'll need to do a few things:
1) Call verifyAssertion in the gitkit API and pass the params/post body. This will return a JSON response that contains the user details (assuming assertion is valid). There are some other checks you should do as well
2) Decide what to do with the assertion. If it is an existing user, most likely you'll just establish a session and save the user ID. If it's a new user, you can either create a new account and start a session immediately, or defer that and redirect them to a signup page.
3) Render HTML/JS to notify the widget. There are different status codes and data you can return that changes the flow.
GITKit itself doesn't really manage session state, that's up to your app. Some of the reference implementations have code to help, but it's not part of the API. The widget does have some state that you can control with JS (add account, show as logged in, etc) and uses local storage in the browser.
The docs give some details and example code for how this should be implemented.
B) Of course. The URL is just configured in the javascript widget when you call setConfig() It can be set to localhost or any staging server for development. So long as your browser can reach it you're OK.
C) By "native", I assume you mean where they're signing up with just a username/password instead of using an IDP. If so, the user just has to enter their email address when logging in. If that email address matches a known IDP it'll attempt to authenticate with OpenID, otherwise if it's a new user it'll redirect to whatever signup page you configured in the widget. That signup page would just ask the user to create a password like you normally would. You should also return whether or not accounts are 'legacy' (password) accounts in the userStatus checks.
Hope that helps.
For anyone's future reference. I was able to resolve the issue. You can follow this thread of how's it's done in Clojure.
I got it working with Ring/Compojure, and another fellow showed me his solution in Webnoir.
