Would I need to create links to YouTube's Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy when I use the YouTube's API on my website? I was looking around for requirements but didn't see anything that mandated creating a Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions that linked back to YouTube's Terms and Conditions. I've used the YouTube API to create a YouTube search engine on my website and want to make sure I'm in compliance with YouTube's policies.
The terms and conditions and privacy poilicy are for you in a capacity of consuming the service.
It's your responsiblity is to read the documentation and ensure you code adheres by the policies. You dont need to re-publish this on your website.
The only time you will need to present a end user any kind of terms and conditions if end users are publishing content on YouTube as identified in clause 9.1
9.1 Required Notice. If your API Client(s) uses any YouTube API Services to permit users to upload videos to YouTube websites,
applications, services or products, the screen or window in which the
end user clicks the "upload" button must display the following warning
in the language(s) available on your API Client(s):

I will like to know if its possible to retrieve a list of the most followed users (say top 20 users) on twitter through twitter's api. I cant see how to achieve that through any of the endpoints. How do web apps like this https://socialblade.com/twitter/ get that kind of data?
Any insights on this will be helpful.
There is no API for this. You would need to take an opinionated view of the high-volume celebrity accounts, and then watch the accounts by polling the user endpoints regularly. You could also use the commercial streaming APIs to watch the most Tweeted accounts and check the user objects on a regular basis.
(note that this is the same answer you were provided on the Twitter developer forums)
I am wondering if this is simply feasible or FB/Insta does not allow this use case...
I have a community that is ready to share content by posting it on Instagram and tagging media/post/referencing my business account.
Is it possible in my backend while using the Instagram Graph API:
to get notified about any post mentioning my business account
to retrieve consequently posted content to grant points subsequently on my platform?
I am speaking about a competition where users get points by sharing useful content traced back by my platform
Any informed feedback welcome!
I've looked briefly through Spotify's API documentation to try and see what exactly can be done with the API. I'm trying to do some data analysis on Spotify data, specifically on user listens / user playlists. However, as far as I can tell, the only way to uncover that information is through OAuth, and each user whose play information I desire would need to explicitly grant permission to my app to use their information. Since I am not building a user-facing app and am interested in doing mass analysis on many users at once, I don't think this would work for my purposes.
My question - is there any way to return multiple users' listening habits through a script that pulls data from Spotify using its API? Or is that possible strictly by way of an application that one user at a time gives authentication to when they load an app that uses this API?

Spotify doesn't expose users' listening habits unless they authorized the app requesting it (I think this is what you meant when you said "through OAuth"). There's pretty big privacy reasons for not exposing users' data to the world.
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'm working for a company that displays content on big screens located on public places like GYMs or waiting rooms.
One client asked app that shows Instagram content from celebrities accounts, so I created one using the Instagram API.
The problem is that the app is in sandbox mode and it gets blank data.
It seems I can only show media from sandbox users (not Beyonce), when I submitted for review it was rejected because it doesn't meet the requirements.
Is there a way to make it work?
During tests I used a valid access token I found on internet, but I don't think that is a valid solution.
You are correct, when app is in sandbox mode you are only able to see data on Instagram from sandbox users which you have set in advance. You won't get any public data on Instagram in this mode.
According to the API, your app doesn't have the criteria required to get approved.
From the Permissions Review page:
Valid Use Cases
We will approve submissions of apps that fall into these use cases:
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
They also listed use cases of applications that won't get approval and it seems like your app matches one of them:
Here are some examples of scenarios that will not be approved:
One-off projects. If you are an agency building websites or other integrations, note that we don't grant permissions to clients created
for one-off projects. If you are interested in building a product,
platform, or widget that will be used as a service across multiple
projects, then you may submit a single client_id that you can use
across multiple projects
...
To get approved you should modify your application to correspond with criteria, perhaps build multiple projects?
You can also try to pull down the data from this URL: https://www.instagram.com/<username>/media/
For Beyonce account, use: https://www.instagram.com/beyonce/media/
Lastly, the access token is unique per-app, so you can't be using a random one. Here is a tutorial on how to generate access token for your app.
