Vimeo mp4 video url PRO user JSONP request - jsonp

I need to get direct mp4 url from vimeo videos.
I am a PRO, how can I access files uploaded by other users?
I try to do requests like this:
$.ajax({
url: 'https://player.vimeo.com/video/<video id>/config',
dataType: 'JSONP',
jsonpCallback: 'callback',
type: 'GET',
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
but it returns : Unexpected token
Can somebody help?

The url you provided is not supported by Vimeo, and can (and will) break without any notice. The only proper way to do this is through the Vimeo API: https://developer.vimeo.com/api. Your video files will appear in the JSON representation of any video you own. The easiest way to find these videos is with the following api call
GET https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos

Is it possible to post files to Slack using the incoming Webhook?

I am trying out the Slack's API using the incoming webhook feature, posting messages works flawlessly, but it doesn't seem to allow any file attachments.
Looking through I understand I have to use a completely different OAuth based API, but creating more tokens just for the purpose of uploading a file seems odd when posting messages works well, is there no way to upload files to slack with the incoming webook?
No, its is not possible to upload files through an incoming Webhook. But you can attach image URLs to your attachments with the image_url tag.
To upload files you need to use the Slack Web API and the files.upload method. Yes, it requires a different authentication, but its not that complicated if you just use a test token for all API calls.
You can see in the Slack API document that it's easy to add an attachment to the POST message to your webhook. Here is a simple example of sending a text message with an attachment in NodeJS:
import fetch from "node-fetch";
const webhook_url = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxx"
const url = "https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ld1w-xCN0nA/UDB2HIY55WI/AAAAAAAAPdA/ho23L6J3TBA/s1600/Cute+Kitten+13.jpg"
await fetch(webhook_url, {
method: "POST",
body: JSON.stringify({
type: "mrkdwn",
text: "Example text",
attachments: [
{
title_link: url,
text: "Your document: <file name>"
},
],
}),
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
Accept: "application/json",
},
});

Instagram API - How to Setup a Proxy Server for POST Request to Follow a User

I am using the below code to let a user Follow another Instagram user. However, even though the result returns a positive success (meta.code==200), the API is still not allowing a follow.
I now understand that this is because JSONP is using script tags and GET. Is the solution to set up a proxy server? If so, can you demonstrate the code on how to do this?
Many thanks!
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
"method": "POST",
url: 'https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/' + followID + '/relationship?access_token=' + accessToken + '&callback=callbackFunction',
data: {action: 'follow'},/*need this to access the relationship*/
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(result){
if (result.meta.code == 200) {
document.getElementById(followID).innerHTML = "Requested";
document.getElementById(followID).style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("reqID" + followID).style.display = "block";
alert(result.data.outgoing_status;);
}
}
});
There are the security risks in exposing user access token in javascript
What are the security risks in exposing facebook user access token in javascript?
The access token is a sensible data that must be always invisible.
You should do that through server side (Like PHP, ASP, JSP......)

Googlemaps Api v3 getJson not working in IE

I have the following problem: I am trying to get data from the googlemaps api v3 via ajax with the code below. It works fine in Chrome and Firefox, but not in IE. What am I doing wrong?
var lat;
$.ajax({
url: "url",
cache: false,
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
lat = data.results[0].geometry.location.lat;
}
});
Add the following error event to your Ajax call
success: function(data) {
lat = data.results[0].geometry.location.lat;
},
error: function(xhr, status, error) {
alert(status);
}
And let us know what error message you get in IE, if any at all.
EDIT - Sounds like you are trying to do a cross-domain request?
If that is the case, try setting $.support.cors = true; before your ajax request.
Fetched from http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.support/
To enable cross-domain requests in environments that do not support cors yet but
do allow cross-domain XHR requests (windows gadget, etc), set
$.support.cors = true;
EDIT2 - Ill assume you are running IE9, in that case you need a plugin for jQuery found here:
https://github.com/jaubourg/ajaxHooks/blob/master/src/xdr.js
Also see this answer on SO for more details on why a plugin is needed for IE9 (with cors): IE9 jQuery AJAX with CORS returns "Access is denied"
EDIT3 - Download jQuery.XDomainRequest.js and include it before your AJAX call.

OAuth Post Request Failing

I've got everything working up until Step 2 of the OAuth process where you request the actual token. I'm using a very simple jQuery Post request and constantly getting Access Control Origin errors. I've tried contentType: 'application/json' and everything else I know to try.
It's just not working and I'm not sure the problem. I've confirmed all the variables are set properly before the request. Simple post request...
var url = 'https://[STORENAMEVARIABLE].myshopify.com/admin/oauth/access_token';
var data = JSON.stringify({ client_id: apiKey, client_secret: secret, code: code });
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: url,
data: data,
success: function(data) {
debugger;
},
error: function(data) {
debugger;
}
});
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
You need to make your OAuth requests from a server. This is the Javascript cross-domain security kicking in.
If you are using Rails you can use omniAuth and it'll take care of the whole OAuth dance for you. Otherwise you'll have to search around but most popular language have an OAuth library that you can just plug in.

Adding a social tag to a page

In SharePoint when you click on the "I Like It" icon, it sends json to this URL
"_vti_bin/socialdatainternalservice.json/AddQuickTag"
So I wrote a custom script which sends JSON data
$("a").click(function(){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/_vti_bin/socialdatainternalservice.json/AddQuickTag",
data: '{"targetPage":"http://url/calendar.aspx","title":"Documents - All Documents","quickTagId":0}',
contentType: "application/json",
success: function(msg){
alert(msg);
}
});
return false;
});
I get an error which simply says "There was an error processing the request." and the error in the log file says "Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/AddQuickTag'."
Is it possible to write a custom script which will post JSON data to this URL and have SharePoint tag a page?
These are the calls that are made for the I Like it functionality
/vti_bin/socialdatainternalservice.json/GetNormalizedPageUrl
Post
{"pageUrl":"http://<web app name>/SitePages/Home.aspx"}
Returned
{"d":"http://<web app name>/"}
/vti_bin/socialdatainternalservice.json/AddQuickTag
Post
{"targetPage":"http://<web app name>/","title":"Home - Home","quickTagId":0}
Returned
{"d":null}
I think you need to do the GetNormalized call first.
