I've scoured for any information regarding an Open API for Periscope.
I have a twitter feed, that should only show if Periscope is Live (the said user will share the broadcast via Twitter).
I can parse the word "IS LIVE" but then I'd have to parse multiple languages.
I'm looking to check an API if the user is Online in periscope, if so, then display the latest twitter feed (which is the broadcast).
There was this User Online button that could be generated
https://www.periscope.tv/embed
it calls an api like https://embed.periscope.tv/user/bpsdmik.json
but it seems that the certificate is invalid, so I keep getting errors ..
Any help / workarounds would be much appreciated!
I've Searched OPEN Periscope, but mostly requires an Authentication token etc.
There is no open API for Periscope. At least, not that I'm aware of. Which would explain your difficulty in finding anything. The closest thing would be the Unofficial Periscope API, documented by Pmmlabs (the same folks who run the OpenPeriscope project). However, as you've already discovered, most of the calls to the Periscope API, including all user-related calls, require an auth token.
Outside of using the API or screen scraping, the only other way I can think of to tell if a user is live or not is to try accessing their Periscope page directly. When you go to a user's Periscope page at https://www.pscp.tv/{userId}, Periscope will redirect you to that users most recent broadcast, where you can parse the broadcast id from the redirect URL. Once you have the broadcast id of the most recent broadcast, you can use the following API call (which does not require an auth token):
https://api.periscope.tv/api/v2/getAccessPublic?token={broadcastId}
... to determine whether the broadcast is live or not. Look at the JSON response and if the "type" field equals "StreamTypeReplay", then it's a replay, otherwise it's a live broadcast.

Problems:
I am unable to enable Business Messages API, Because "Business Messages API" is not showing API list, While i am going to enable the API through the
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 want to use Instagram's Graph API on my backend server to retrieve data about an Instagram post. On my frontend, users will submit a post URL (like https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvPIm2lszQ/). Then on my backend, I want to take the ID of the post from that URL (so in this case CAvPIm2lszQ) and then I'm hoping that I can pass that ID thru the Instagram Graph API and then retrieve the data that I need (media URL, caption, poster username, etc.).
So would that be possible? I did find documentation on "IG Media" for the Graph API, but under permissions, it says, "A Facebook User access token from a User who created the IG Media object, with the following permissions.."
Unless I'm misunderstanding it, I'm not sure if I'll be able to access posts from various public accounts. I think it's also worth mentioning that my users are not logging into their Instagram accounts to use my service so the only possible "User access token" would be my own.
Any ideas on how I can go about this? I was using the instagram.com/p/{post_id}/?__a=1 endpoint to meet my needs before but it doesn't work on my production server for some reason. So I'm kinda stuck.
Most probably you will not be able to achieve that using Instagram API. First of all the ID you are referring to CAvPIm2lszQ is not the ID that you will use for getting IG Media. The ID is different (it's numeric value like in the sample request from the page you've linked). The full URL that includes CAvPIm2lszQ is in the shortcode field.
At the moment it is not possible to look for the post detail using shortcode. If you want to use that endpoint you need to get the real post ID first, for instance by listing list of posts from given user.
But in order to do so - you need to use Facebook login authorization window to get token from given user. Alternatively you can try to request https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/guides/business-discovery but it requires going through App review and having your own company to pass the Business Verification. Keep in mind that this endpoint returns information only about Instagram Professional accounts (Business/Creator account). You will not be able to get information about regular accounts.
And the last thing about ?__a=1 endpoint. This is not the official Instagram API. They use it only for their own purposes. Most probably your server IP address has been blocked due to sending too many requests.
I'm creating a tool for a person to login into their google+ account and to lists all communities they were created or joined. I had googling around for a day and read google+ api references, but I couldn't find any information on:
Url of the API for accessing user's created or joined comminities,
Request parameters to perform such query
My tool has already succeed to perform oauth login and get access_token and ready to make any API call, But now I'm stuck trying to find the right Url and requirements to perform the API call as I wanted.
Please help
There currently is no API method to do this. If you would like to see such a feature added, you can star this feature request.
I want to achieve the same as Hootsuite, publish a post in a PAGE STREAM. But I don't know even where to look for it. It looks like Hootsuite is using the API, because they prompt an open Auth authentication where the user selects and authorize what this APP can do with his data.
With the PHP client I've been able of posting in the user APP stream (different from the user main stream) using moments class, and get data from the user using plus class client, both from the PHP library available here: https://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/source/checkout
But I don't know how to write in a user's page. Does anyone knows or can point me where to go to, at least, publish on main Google+ page stream as Hootsuite? Thanks.
The Google+ Pages API is currently available to a limited number of parters only, including HootSuite. You can request access to the API at https://developers.google.com/+/api/pages-signup but there is no guarantee when, or even if, Google will approve your access.
Although you can use the HootSuite console to post messages to Google+ pages (see http://hootsuite.com/google+), it isn't clear if you can use the HootSuite API to do so.
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.
