I am trying to access http://developer.espn.com/member/register site for ESPN API key generation. But I think it is blocked and redirecting to documentations page.
Please help.
it is not working anymore, they have discontinued their public API,
for more information, please check this link:

This might be a stupid question, but the Google developer portal is horrible...
I've recently signed up for an API key pair for Google's reCAPTCHA service (https://developers.google.com/recaptcha)
But it seems that after the initial signup, the Google developer portal will simply not display you a link to your existing recaptcha registrations. Can maybe someone give me a link to access the Settings/Analytics screens for a recaptcha registration. :-)
I just use https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/ to access my analytics
I have spent the last couple of nights bashing my head against the wall amongst a see of conflicting out of date documentation and semi-helpful blog posts that were/are appropriate to what I am trying to do.
Essentially I want to write a wee personal app do download my images from PicasaWeb/Google+ and store them on my local hard disk.
I have managed to do the following:
Figured out the GData API for the appropriate request to get private album data (works fine in my 'google-logged-in' chrome browser)
Got the correct private data back from my GData URL with the token generated by the OAuth playground.
Managed to get an OAuth2 token back from https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token using JWT.
However - when I try my access token I generate myself I get back a forbidden response with the message 'Not authorized to view access private'.
I am pretty stumped - my only guess is that my service account configured in google developers console doesn't actually have access to my personal google stuff like google+ photos. When I look in there I can see the OAuth playground has access. How do I give my app access - and do I need to in this scenario?
Thanks in advance,
Robert
"my only guess is that my service account configured in google developers console doesn't actually have access to my personal google stuff".
Totally correct.
I guess I see 2-3 questions per month on SO where people have made the false assumption that a Service Account is some kind of proxy to their Google Account. It isn't. It's a completely new and independent account.
The two approaches you can take are:-
Share the items to the Service Account so it has permission to access them.
Give your app direct access to your Picassa account. See How do I authorise an app (web or installed) without user intervention? (canonical ?) for the steps involved.
I am creating one new application using AOL login. For this I require developer api keys.I get the api keys for Facebook,twitter . But for aol.com , when I open dev.aol.com it redirects to www.aol.com always. Please anybody suggest me how to get APi kes for AOL . Why is this redirecting to home page ? Please reply
It looks as if the AOL Open Auth API has been discontinued.
http://www.programmableweb.com/api/aol-open-auth
http://www.programmableweb.com/api/aol-open-mail
All links that used to point to its documentation now point to the main aol.com website.
I also just called AOL and the technical support representative was unable to find any information at all on any developer APIs.
Sorry, looks like you're out of luck.
I'm getting some rather conflicting information from PayPal. I've spent 2 hours on the phone with them today, and posted my questions on their forums, and I have not received one single solution. So I am turning to SO since people here actually know what they're doing.
I am trying to add the AddressVerify and MassPay APIs to our website. We are currently using the Payflow Pro (DirectPayment, etc) calls with no problems. This uses our PayPal Manager login, password and vendor credentials for authentication via the HTTPS interface. This is all written in PHP using NVP.
However, when I try to add the AddressVerify and/or the MassPay APIs using the HTTPS interface, all I get back is a PNREF and an error saying, "Invalid Tender."
On the forums, I see everyone using email addresses as logins, and a certificate key of some sort. I called PayPal today to figure out how the heck to get that information, and the developer there said I don't use the login with the key and that I'm using the wrong SDK. He told me where to get the Dev Guide and that I should use that instead.
However, the dev guide only outlines what we're already using, and I wasn't about to sit on the phone for another hour and 40 minutes.
So my question is this:
Am I just missing something, or did I just get some bad information? I'm guessing it's the latter, because nobody there seemed to know squat about jack diddly.
Am I correct in assuming that the code ( as outlined here ) is what I should be using? If so, how do I obtain a signature key and presumably a new login & password?
If the dev guy from PayPal is correct and I should be using the HTTPS Interface, then how do I get that to work? Because like I said above, all I'm getting from that is a PNREF and an error message saying, "Invalid Tender."
If anyone has any experience with this and/or some suggestions on how to get this stupid thing to work, I'd be forever greatful!
Thanks in advance!

In case anybody is interested in knowing, I received a response from the devs at PayPal:
If you are using Payflow then you should be using the Payflow Pro SDK, it would require a User, Vendor, Partner, and Password in the credentials that get passed over. It would also return a PNREF number. If you are wanting to use Website Payments Pro, then your SDK would have either a API Username, API Password, API Signature, or an API Username, API Password,and API Certificate. The AddressVerfiy API is an API that is available for Website Payments Pro/PayPal accounts not Payflow. You can find all of the SDK's for both services here. The Payflow SDK's are the ones at the bottom of the page.
So apparently MassPay and AddressVerify is part of the Web Payments Pro, which uses a different SDK than the Payflow Pro stuff. And for this, you need to obtain a separate username, password, and certificate or key. The Payflow Pro credentials will not work with this.
Hope someone else can benefit from my hours of wasted time!
Can anyone point me to a good, simple, example of a Google API (AJAX Search API I suppose?) that can be implemented in VB.net (2008)? I have tried to sign up for a Google API key but it wants a URL from which the search will be executed from. I dont have a URL for this example. I tried http://localhost but then was told by a colleague that she got a "Invalid Key" error. A simple working example would be awesome. Thank you.
If you're running a Google API locally for development or test purposes, you can use an internal IP address - it doesn't have to be URL that's exposed to the Internet. For example, I have development machines running the Google Maps API using addresses in the 192.168.0.xxx range. This allows them to be accessed from any other machine on the internal network. Obviously you need a fixed IP for this.
I do not think the Google API TOS allows for .net development. I read that in a newsgroup article recently.
