When I attempt to use someone else's custom search by its url, I get taken instead to my own custom search admin page.
How do I use someone else's custom search url?
For example, customsearchengine.com has an entry for the OpenDOAR search.
It gives the url as: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=016766439200934687091:ln-icm1qyko
When I put this in, I get redirected to https://cse.google.com/cse/all
Perhaps that custom search doesn't exist anymore. Bu the same happens when I try to look up other custom searches.
http://www.customsearchengine.com/ is super old, and not affiliated with google.
Custom Search's URL format has changed since 2008, so instead of http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=016766439200934687091:ln-icm1qyko
you can use
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=016766439200934687091:ln-icm1qyko
but that CSE doesn't exist any longer, so 404 error
I'm using WSO2 API Manager.
In an API, in User Overview tab below url is shown as Production and Sandbox URLs which are correct
http://myapistore.com:8280/railway/2.0
But in the same api under API console tab below url is shown as base url which is incorrect
http://myapistore.com/store:8280
But actually the base url should be http://myapistore.com:8280
So altogether API url would be
http://myapistore.com:8280/railway/2.0/station/getAll
How can I change the base url?
In my WSO2 API Store my services are shown correctly. When I click on the tab sheet, the URLS are shown correctly even when I hover over these links.
Did you register the service correctly?
You probably already figured out the answer to your question, but I came here looking for how to change the production URL of an API, and thought I would share the answer to that question here, for any future googlers :)
This is the view we're talking about, the API overview. Notice that the Production Endpoint is wrong (should be worldbank, not worldbanks).
Click on Edit API in the top blue bar, and in the second step you'll be able to change it.
(notice the corrected URL)
I hope this will help someone in the future :)
I am trying to to add a custom Tumblr follow button to my site and I've been trying to figure out how the follow api works.
I've been using https://apigee.com/console/tumblr to test various requests and so for I can make the get requests work, but not the post requests. Specifically, I would like to be able to follow a blog.
For instance, if i want to follow mcupdate The post request should look like this
http://api.tumblr.com/v2/user/follow?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmcupdate.tumblr.com
This returns 404 page not found. As do any and all variations that I can think of. Since the get requests work fine, I am assuming that the credentials that apigee.com generates are fine. Does anyone know what is the problem?
Thanks.
I have a page tab app that I am hosting. I have both http and https supported. While I receive a signed_request package as expected, after I decode it does not contain page information. That data is simply missing.
I verified that like schemes are being used (https) among facebook, my hosted site and even the 'go between'-- facebook's static page handler.
Also created a new application with page tab support but got the same results-- simply no page information in the signed_request.
Any other causes people can think of?
I add the app to the page tab using this link:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=176236832519816&next=https://www.intelligantt.com/Facebook/application.html
Here is the page tab I am using (Note: requires permissions):
https://www.facebook.com/pages/School-Auction-Test-2/154869721351873?id=154869721351873&sk=app_176236832519816
Here is the decoded signed_request I am receiving:
{"algorithm":"HMAC-SHA256","code":!REMOVED!,"issued_at":1369384264,"user_id":"1218470256"}
5/25 Update - I thought maybe the canvas app urls didn't match the page tab urls so I spent several hours going through scenarios where they both had a trailing slash or not. Where they both had a trailing ? or not, with query parameters or not.
I also tried changing the 'next' value when creating the page tab to the canvas app url and the page tab url.
No success on either count.
I did read where because I'm seeing the 'code' value in the signed_request it means Facebook either couldn't match my urls or that I'm capturing the second request. However, I given all the URL permutations I went through I believe the urls match. I also subscribed to the 'auth.authResponseChange' which should give me the very first authResponse that should contain the signed_request with page.id in it (but doesn't).
If I had any reputation, I'd add a bounty to this.
Thanks.
I've just spent ~5 hours on this exact same problem and posted a prior answer that was incorrect. Here's the deal:
As you pointed out, signed_request appears to be missing the page data if your tab is implemented in pure javascript as a static html page (with *.htm extension).
I repeated the exact same test, on the exact same page, but wrapped my html page (including js) within a Perl script (with *.cgi extension)... and voila, signed_request has the page info.
Although confusing (and should be better documented as a design choice by Facebook), this may make some sense because it would be impossible to validate the signed_request wholly within Javascript without placing your secretkey within the scope (and therefore revealing it to a potential hacker).
It would be much easier with the PHP SDK, but if you just want to use JavaScript, maybe this will help:
Facebook Registration - Reading the data/signed request with Javascript
Also, you may want to check out this: https://github.com/diulama/js-facebook-signed-request
simply you can't get the full params with the javascript signed_request, use the php sdk to get the full signed_request . and record the values you need into javascript variabls ...
with the php sdk after instanciation ... use the facebook object as following.
$signed_request = $facebook->getSignedRequest();
var_dump($signed_request) ;
this is just to debug but u'll see that the printed array will contain many values that u won't get with js sdk for security reasons.
hope that helped better anyone who would need it, cz it seems this issue takes at the min 3 hours for everyone who runs into.
I need to be able to add sharing functionality to my custom button. I'm not interested with their generator, as I can't change LinkedIn image there. I want to use my own image for the LinkedIn share button.
Official LinkedIn API for sharing:
https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/share-on-linkedin
Read Terms of Use!
Example link using "Customized URL" method: http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10713542/how-to-make-custom-linkedin-share-button/10737122&title=How%20to%20make%20custom%20linkedin%20share%20button&summary=some%20summary%20if%20you%20want&source=stackoverflow.com
You just need to open it in popup using JavaScript or load it to iframe. Simple and works - that's what I was looking for!
EDIT: Video attached to a post:
I checked that you can't really embed any video to LinkedIn post, the only option is to add the link to the page with video itself.
You can achieve it by putting YT link into url param:
https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBi92AOSW2E
If you specify summary and title then LinkedIn will stop pulling it from the video, e.g.:
https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&summary=youtube&title=f1&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBi92AOSW2E
It does work exactly the same with Vimeo, and probably will work for any website. Hope it will help.
EDIT 2: Pulling images to the post:
When you open above links you will see that LinkedIn loads some images along with the passed URL (and optionally title and summary).
LinkedIn does it automatically, and you can read about it here: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/share-on-linkedin#opengraph
It's interesting though as it says:
If Open Graph tags are present, LinkedIn's crawler will not have to
rely on it's own analysis to determine what content will be shared,
which improves the likelihood that the information that is shared is
exactly what you intended.
It tells me that even if Open Graph information is not attached, LinkedIn can pull this data based on its own analysis. And in case of YouTube it seems to be the case, as I couldn't find any Open Graph tags added to YouTube pages.
You can make your own sharing button using the LinkedIn ShareArticle URL, which can have the following parameters:
https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url={articleUrl}&title={articleTitle}&summary={articleSummary}&source={articleSource}
You can find the documentation here, just choose "Customized URL" to see the details.
Step 1 - Getting the URL Right
Many of the answers here were valid until recently. For now, the ONLY supported param is url, and the new share link is as follows...
https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url={url}
Make sure url is encoded, using something like fixedEncodeURIComponent().
Source: Official Microsoft.com Linkedin Share Plugin Documentation. All LinkedIn.com links for developer documentation appear to be blank pages now -- perhaps related to the acquisition of LinkedIn by Microsoft.
Step 2 - Setting Custom Parameters (Title, Image, Summary, etc.)
Once upon a time, you could use these params: title, summary, source. But if you look closely at all of the documentation, there is actually still a way to still set summary, title, etc.! Put these in the <head> block of the page you want to share...
<meta property='og:title' content='Title of the article"/>
<meta property='og:image' content='//media.example.com/ 1234567.jpg"/>
<meta property='og:description' content='Description that will show in the preview"/>
<meta property='og:url' content='//www.example.com/URL of the article" />
Then LinkedIn will use these! Source: LinkedIn Developer Docs: Making Your Website Shareable on LinkedIn.
Step 3 - Verifying LinkedIn Share Results
Not sure you did everything right? Take the URL of the page you are sharing (i.e., example.com, not linkedin.com/share?url=example.com), and input that URL into the following: LinkedIn Post Inspector. This will tell you everything about how your URL is being shared!
This also pulls/invalidates the current cache of your page, and then refreshes it (in case you have a stuck, cached version of your page in LinkedIn's database). Because it pulls the cache, then refreshes it, sometimes it's best to use the LinkedIn Post Inspector twice, and use the second result as the expected output.
Still not sure? Here's an online demo I built with 20+ social share services. Inspect the source code and find out for yourself how exactly the LinkedIn sharing is working.
Step 4 - Finding More Social Sharing Services and Their Share URLs
I have been maintaining a Github Repo that's been tracking social-share URL formats since 2012, check it out: Github: Social Share URLs.
Why not join in on all the social share url's?
Its best to use customize url approach. And its the easiest. Found this one. It will open a popup window and you dont need any bs authentication issues because of w_share and all.
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http://chillyfacts.com/create-linkedin-share-button-on-website-webpages&title=Create LinkedIn Share button on Website Webpages&summary=chillyfacts.com&source=Chillyfacts" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'mywin', 'left=20,top=20,width=500,height=500,toolbar=1,resizable=0'); return false;">
<img src="http://chillyfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/LinkedIN.gif" alt="" width="54" height="20" />
</a>
Just change the url with your own url. Here is the link http://chillyfacts.com/create-linkedin-share-button-on-website-webpages/
The API is updated now and the previous API will be deprecated on 1st March, 2019.
To create a custom Share button for LinkedIn, you need to make POST calls now. You can read the updated documentation here for doing so.
LinkedIn revised their site recently, so there are a ton of old links just redirecting to the developer support homepage. Here is an updated link to the relevant page on LinkedIn's support site (as of Feb 16, 2015): https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/share-on-linkedin
LinkedIn has updated their api and the sharing url's no longer works. Now you can only use the url query parameter. Any other parameter is going to be removed from the url by LinkedIn.
Now you're forced to use oAuth and interact with the linkedin API to share content on behalf of a user.
This works for me:
https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=articleUrl&title=YourarticleTitle&summary=YourarticleSummary&source=YourarticleSource
You can use this link by replacing it with your content. It works 100%.
You can customize the standard Linkedin button like this, after the page load:
$(".IN-widget span:first-of-type").css({
'border': '2px solid #DCDCDC',
'-webkit-border-radius': '3px',
'-moz-border-radius': '3px',
'border-radius': '3px'
});
