so my branch.io regular twitter cards are working just fine (with cover pic and all), but my app is a music streaming app
so my question is, how can i enable twitter player cards with branch.io links?
with regards
Ahmad
You should add the following Twitter tags to your Branch links
$twitter_player : The link your audio file or music file
$twitter_player_width, $twitter_player_height: Set the player's width & height in pixels.
$twitter_card: player: Specify the twitter card type as Player.
Note: If you set the $twitter_card parameter to Player you need to whitelist you link subdomain on the Twitter Card Validator here. Just paste the Branch link you created with '$twitter_card: player' parameter in the validator and you will be provided with a link to whitelist your subdomain.

We generate quick links in our iOS app that are supposed to point to specific content within the app. When a quick link is shared via a messaging app that supports preview snippets, we want the snippet to display custom content depending on the parameters passed when our iOS app generates a link.
For example, user wants to share an audio, the app generates a link which is then posted in a messaging app or social media. We want the preview snippet to reflect specific title/subtitle and image related to that audio.
We use a custom domain name for Branch links if that matters.
What is the right way to achieve this?
You can use Link Preview for achieving this functionality. It will enable the link to display content as a preview card in Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, iMessage, etc. This card can contain a title, description and image (that you append in the link as OG Tags such as $og_title, $og_description, and $og_image_url) .

Checkout PlaylistItems, it returns all the videos from your playlist.
"A playlistItem resource identifies another resource, such as a video,
that is included in a playlist. In addition, the playlistItem resource
contains details about the included resource that pertain specifically
to how that resource is used in that playlist."
For Java code samples, checkout the Official Youtube api-samples/java for code reference.
The YouTube Data API v3 functions Video.insert and Video.update do not contain an option to set the "Game title" as you can when uploading / updating a video in the web UI:
This is only available if the category is set to Gaming.
Edit: To clarify, I do not wish to set the Video Title. This input is used to identify the Game that is being played in the uploaded video and is displayed under the video description.
Is there an API endpoint to set this Game title? Or do I have to POST to https://www.youtube.com/metadata_ajax?action_edit_video=1 like the web UI does?
The Youtube Data API does not have this implemented at this time of writing. And nether we are able to Get the game title as well.
I have a native iOS & Blackberry App. You can create personalized videos.
When people share their video clip on Facebook, I would like the company logo and the accompanying link to go through to our website (not FB App page).
Instagram, Blackberry and Twitter all do this.
For e.g. when someone uploads an Instagram photo - it has the Instagram logo, with link to their website underneath the upload.
Do you know how I can do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
First your Facebook app will need to request manage_feed permissions from the user. Once you have manage_feed, you can http POST the posting using the Graph API to put the stream item into their feed. See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/ for further info.
Has anyone posted a video via the Facebook Connect API to their profile / feed page?
Ideally, the video should be queued to the first frame with the superimposed Facebook's blue right arrow "play" button. Or if a thumbnail representing the video has to also be uploaded (rather than the video being queued to the first frame) as well, this is fine.
Also, when the video, or thumbnail, on the profile page is clicked, the video plays where it is - rather than going to another page off Facebook to be played there.
The question may have not been correctly worded. The term "API" was misleading to a couple of folks - and I apologize for that.
What I was trying to do was to "share" a video by linking it in Facebook, AND to have it play in the profile feed (ie. to not leave the Facebook site while viewing the video - just like YouTube and Hulu.com do).
After digging into the JavaScript that Hulu was using to get this behavior, we noticed that a link tag was missing between our version of the <meta> and <link> tags, and Hulu's.
Facebook's web page, http://www.facebook.com/share_partners.php, was missing a tag that you should have if the content is a video, and you want it played in the profile feed.
Along with:
<link rel="video_src" href="http://www.example.com/player.swf?video_id=123456789"/> ...
You should include:
<link rel="media:video" href="http://www.example.com/player.swf?video_id=123456789"/>
That will get it to play in the feed. BUT, your domain name must be whitelisted.
To get your domain whitelisted, fill out this form: http://www.facebook.com/share_partners.php#/developers/developer_help.php
I got a reply, and approval, within a day! Kudos to the Facebook developer support staff!
Use the Video.upload as described by stevedbrown or the Stream API or if you want to go simple share the link via API or share link.
Have you read the Facebook developer wiki page on this? That explains what is possible and how, it's pretty decent.
