I'm trying to setup a webhook from dropbox to notify my server whenever a new file is uploaded.
There are 1000's of files being shared but < 100 everyday and I only want to find the new files of a certain type that have been added or modified since the last check.
The webhook sends the userid when the file is added but doesn't indicate a file name.
Is there anyway using the list_folder api, or using another api to find out what file has been changed since a certain date?
Dropbox webhooks only tell you that something changed, but not what specifically changed.
You can use these in conjunction with /2/files/list_folder[/continue] to see what changed. The webhooks documentation and the Content Access Guide have more information about this.
In short, the basic flow would be like this:
The user connects the app to their account, and the app saves the resulting access token for that user.
The app gets the current state of the account using /2/files/list_folder[/continue], and stores the latest returned cursor.
The user makes changes in their account.
Dropbox notifies the app of changes in the user's account using a webhook notification.
The app receives the webhook notification and looks up the corresponding access token and cursor for the specified user.
The app calls /2/files/list_folder/continue using the cursor to retrieve only what changed since it last called, and again stores the latest returned cursor.
(Repeat)

With IBM ICD/Maximo version 7.6.1.2 I am trying to inform a user when an attachment (arriving via a REST call) has finally arrived.
I have access to the USERID of the requester
the launchpoint is 'add' on DOCLINKS
I aim to inform the user using a message box (or something similar) if he/she is still active on the platform
The whole send/receive action takes more than 10-15 minutes so waiting for a response during the same REST call is not possible. The user sends a POST and later receives a POST.
The problem is, mbo.getUserInfo() points to the username of the external service and not the requester so in my opinion I need to either change the active session or active user in order to be able to use commands like:
service.webclientsession().showMessageBox(msggroup,msgkey,params)
I need a method or commands to do that.
One possible way to do this would be by sending a bulletin board message to the user to notify that their file has been uploaded as shown here
I am trying to add a watch to an existing gmail account via the Gmail API but am getting the error:
Only one user push notification client allowed per developer (call /stop then try again)
How can I check to see if the gmail account already has a watch on it?
Unfortunately, the Gmail API does not have a method that allows you to detect if an account already has a watch applied to it. You can always renew a watch by first stopping the watch and then immediately initiate a new watch right after.
Best practice is to store watch expiration time when you initialize a watch and always check against the stored expiration timestamp to determine if a watch needs to be renewed.
I am trying to fetch data using the Instagram API endpoints. Steps that I have followed
1. Register the client app.
2. Got the access token.
3. I am using this access token through out the url endpoints.
Ex. to get the data for recent media I am using this url endpoint: https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
However as I am in Sandbox mode, as per the documentation I get only the recent 20 media. Whereas my account contains in total 291 media.
Problems that I am facing:
Not able to get next_url in the paginationpart.
Usage of min_id and max_id in the url does not respond to any changes in the output or the data i.e fetched (Still get only 20 records/media)
Ex: https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent?access_token=XXXXXX&min_id=xxxxxx_xxxxx&max_id=xxxxxxx_xxxxxxx
Can anybody provide a solution as to how exactly I should get all of my historical data ?
You're in the sandbox mode so there's no way to achieve what you're trying to do before your app has been reviewed and approved (and gone live). From Instagram API documentation:
After your app has been reviewed and approved, you are ready to make it available to the general public. To switch your client from sandbox to live mode, you can use the button on the top section of the configuration screen for your app. When you are live, any Instagram user will be able to authorize your app, but you will have access only to the permissions that you were granted during the review.
Well, maybe you should try this library that allows you to scrape public info withou auth (client_id or access_token): https://github.com/raiym/instagram-php-scraper
$medias = Instagram::getMedias('kevin', 150);
I have a single authorize.net account, and I have 5 different e-commerce applications tied to that account. Some are posting from a public site and some are posting from managed access sites. I am using SIM and I have read about the Relay Response, but as far as I can tell I can only have one URL listed. That will not work for me as I need a different URL for each different point of entry into the e-commerce system.
My problem at the moment is that I need to update a datafield via a guid upon successful payment completion to confirm purchase of a digital item, but if I put in a relay response page it is getting sent to all my access points and throwing errors. Other parts of the e-commerce system need to send different emails upon completion etc, plus all the urls are different at the top level.
Is there some other way of accomplishing this task that I am overlooking?
Use Silent Post*. It's Authorize.Net's equivalent of Paypal's IPN. It will only post to one URL per account but it happens behind the scenes. This means you can send a custom flag along with each transaction identifying which site the purchase is for and then have it respond accordingly (e.g. send emails, update database, etc).

I am developing an application where I have a section only for paid users where they purchase for the section using the in-app purhcase system in iOS. I know that I need to keep track of the purchase history myself, and this is where the problem begins. I have a database and I am capable of storing users in my database, with a web service interface. How can I create a system where a URL is pinged only when a user has made the purchase.
As an example, I have the URL:
http://example.com/registerUserPremium/userid=123456
How can I get this to be called only when a purchase is made? The most elegant way seems like Apple pinging the URL with a special user ID upon purchase, but I can't find a way of doing it. It is obviously not a solution to make the user call that URL within the app, as it can be cracked/pirated. What is a good way of providing such a mechanism that is piracy-proof. My service is web-based, so if I can get this part done, the rest relies on my server-side mechanism (the user will just send a special key that is stored in its keychain, to the server) so I'll be able to finish the project. In short, I need a way to call a URL only when a purchase is made. What are some possible solutions?
Thanks,
Can.
I see two solutions:
"Server product model" (doc): the appstore contact your servers every time a user makes a purchase. In this case you have all of the information right away.
"Builtin product model" (same doc) in which the application gets the receipt from the appstore. In this latter case you can contact your server special URL, providing the receipt information, and the server can verify that the receipt has not been tampered with asking the app store to verify (it's a simple post, see here).
