A regular deep link dynamically generated using the iOS/Android SDK's might look like this: https://example.app.link/fzmLEhobLD
Would I be able to dynamically generate a deep link that would look something like: https://example.app.link/jsmith49
this would greatly help for marketing purposes
If yes, how?
Jackie from Branch here.
You can definitely use a link alias to replace the standard encoded short URL (e.g. https://example.app.link/fzmLEhobLD -> https://example.app.link/jsmith49). Note that link aliases must be unique, otherwise a 409 error will occur.
If you are creating Branch links via the SDK and/or HTTP API, you'd need to set the value of 'alias' key. Please refer to our documentation on configuring links here.
Alternatively, you can use the Branch dashboard to create links by entering the link alias on the 'Configure Options' step here.
Let us know if you have more questions. Hope this helps!
We have created a custom App using Rally SDK. We are providing link to this app in a custom field in USER story. Once we click on this link, it gets redirected to the App. Within this app, we want know from which User story it has redirected from.
For the same purpose we are making use of document.referrer. However, it only returns 'https://rally1.rallydev.com' and not the complete URL.
Based on our research, we come to know that meta tag for refferer with appropriate value has to be mentioned in the web page to get the complete URL. Which we think is not mentioned in this case.
Please correct if our understanding is wrong.
It will be very helpful if you could suggest any alternatives to achieve this.
When I set up a branch.io link I see that after the redirect it is something like
http://www.bbc.co.uk/?_branch_match_id=241114587404660876
What is the _branch_match_id parameter?
Is this added onto every link redirect or can it be omitted?
Alex from Branch.io here: the _branch_match_id is a unique ID we append to every link redirection as part of our matching algorithm. It allows us to track where traffic is coming from, so that we can identify each user again within the app after it opens/is installed. There is no way to remove it :)
I try to make a web page for youtube video upload, therefore I try to get the client id from google api console, and in the api console it shows something like this:
Client ID: 533832195920.apps.googleusercontent.com
Redirect URIs: http://bobyouku.ap01.aws.af.cm/testyoutube.php
https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground
However when I try to test my account using the following URL:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=533832195920.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fbobyouku.ap01.aws.af.cm%2Ftestyoutube.php&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fyoutube&response_type=code&access_type=offline
It gives out the result of invalid_client. Even when I try it on oauth2 playground, same fail occurs
So anyone knows what's happen?
Set/change your product name, I had this issue until I created a product name as same as project name.
The product name can be set in the Consent screen section of the Google Developers Console for your project. Look under APIs & auth in the left navigation and select Consent screen.
You need also to set your email address in the box above the product name.
After copy values from Google web UI, I had a blank space for:
client_id
secret
And at the BEGINNING and at the END for both.
This happens even when clicking on the "copy" button.
Trim the leading and trailing white space from both the client_id and client_secret. Google's copy button does not do this for you.
Set both the email address and product name fields for the OAuth consent screen.
Setting EMAIL ADDRESS and PRODUCT NAME in the consent screen of Google developer console, solves the error "Error: invalid_client. The OAuth client was not found." for me.
I had .apps.googleusercontent.com twice in my ID.
It was a copy and paste issue "Your ID HERE".apps.googleusercontent.com
invalid_client can also simply means that your client ID and client secret are wrong when you create your Oauth2 object.
in this thread i found my answer.
I went to google console,
generate a new project, made refresh, because in my case after create the page didn't reload
select new project
create a client ID
use it for what you need
thanks guys :D
In my case this turned out to be something else, namely my code used an environment variable that hadn't been set properly (and stupidly wasnt checked by my code). Setting it, recompiling assets, and restarting the app did the trick.
If you follow the documentation, from this page
https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/sign-in#specify_your_apps_client_id
you'll see
<meta name="google-signin-client_id" content="YOUR_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com">
But it's wrong. It should be
<meta name="google-signin-client_id" content="YOUR_CLIENT_ID">
The issue is that the '.apps.googleusercontent.com' gets added anyway. If you do it like the documentation says, you get '.apps.googleusercontent.com' twice
I solved this by removing unnecessary quotes from my clientID and clientSecret values.
Did the error also report that it was missing an application name? I had this issue until I created a project name (e.g. "Project X") in the project settings dialog.
probably old credentials are invalid
see the answer below
stackoverflow answer
or short names may work
see the answer below
stackoverflow answer
or product name same as project name as answered already
at times one may include extra space in the
check twice this line so that you are redirected to the correct url
I solved my problem with trim :
'google' => [
'client_id' =>trim('client_id),
'client_secret' => trim('client_secret'),
'redirect' => 'http://localhost:8000/login/google/callback',
],
None of the following were my issue - I resolved this by opening an incognito window. Something was obviously being cached somewhere, no amount of changing auth client settings helped and there were never any trailing or leading spaces in config values.
Check your Project name on Google APIs console.
you choose another project you created.
I was same error.
my mistake was choosing diffirent project.
At Credentials
Accept requests from these HTTP referrers (web sites) (Optional)
Use asterisks for wildcards. If you leave this blank, requests will be accepted from any referrer. Be sure to add referrers before using this key in production.
Add . (star dot star) . It work fine for me
I accidentally had a value in the Client Secret part of the URL, but Google Credential does not need a Client Secret for Android OAuth 2 Client IDs. Simply leaving the value blank in the URL did the trick for me.
Steps that worked for me:
Delete credentials that are not working for you
Create new credentials with some NAME
Fill in the same NAME on your OAuth consent screen
Fill in the e-mail address on the OAuth consent screen
The name should be exactly the same.
Another thing to check:
When you install the GoogleAPIs into a .Net app with NuGet, it will inject a new set of dummy values in your *.config file.
Check that any original values are still in place, and remove dummy entries.
Deleting client ID and creating new one a couple of times worked for me.
Mine didn't work because I created it from a button from the documentation. I went again to the project and created another OAuthClientID. It worked. Yes, be careful about the extra spaces on right and left too.
For best results make sure you have the complete details as follows:
{"client_id":"282324738-4labcgdsd4nlh34885s2d34tmi.apps.googleusercontent.com","project_id":"abcd23ss-212808","auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs","client_secret":"23452-dfgdfgcdfgfd","redirect_uris":["http://localhost:6900/auth/google/callback"],"javascript_origins":["http://localhost:6900"]}
This data is always available for download as JSON from https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/oauthclient/
If you are in Meteor JS, you have to use clientId instead appId:
Since facebook uses appId and google clientId.
ServiceConfiguration.configurations.upsert({
service: "google"
}, {
$set: {
clientId: process.env.OAUTH_GOOGLE_APP_ID,
loginStyle: "popup",
secret: process.env.OAUTH_GOOGLE_SECRET
}
});
I spent some hours to realize over that.
I wish I had seen this post before, because there are a lot of things I had to find out trial and error. A lot can go wrong with this. Here's another issue I had:
Whe you specify the Authorised Javascript origins or Authorised redirect URIs, make sure to include your domain with and without www. So https://google.com and https://www.google.com
Also I had uploaded an Application logo. Because of that, the consent screen required a review... which takes forever. Don't upload an Application logo, or be very patient.
this could also be because of not using https url.
In other words,this only works with https. It works with http only in localhost
The solution that worked for me was to remove the ' single quotes and remove additional spaces at the end of the client id and secret in the .env file
I have implemented some code that loads an image from a URL upon a listview item being clicked; this has been tested with a 'dummy' image and works without any problem with the image being displayed in an imageview object.
However, what I really want to do is to load a Static Google Map with Paths (polyline) via URL, but for some reason this is not working and I hope that someone here will be able to tell me what is wrong with my URL:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=400x400&path=40.737102,-73.990318|40.749825,-73.987963|40.752946,-73.987384|40.755823,-73.986397
According to the Google documentation http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/ I believe that my URL should work, because an image witha path only requires the size attribute (i.e. all others are optional).
When I try to test load my URL via a web-browser I receive an Error 403 in Google Chrome telling me that the googleapis website requires a log in. Is this the API key? I have an API key that I've previously used for a non-static google map and I copy/pasted this key from the map's xml into my URL (using the key= attribute), but again this was not successful.
I've tried searching on google and this forum, but it seems that no-one has had this problem before - or maybe I'm just really bad at searching :( But hopefully someone can assist?
Thanks!
You're missing the required sensor parameter.
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=400x400&path=40.737102,-73.990318|40.749825,-73.987963|40.752946,-73.987384|40.755823,-73.986397&sensor=false
This requirement is fairly new, but yes, you are missing the API key.
Just as you added the parameters &size= or &path=, at some point you need to have a &key=parameter. So for your example it would look like this:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=400x400&key=ENTER-YOUR-API-KEY&path=40.737102,-73.990318|40.749825,-73.987963|40.752946,-73.987384|40.755823,-73.986397
hope that helps
