I run a cross-platform achievement tracker, where the user can gather and show their achievements from xbox, psn, steam etc.
Now I want to add support for achievements attached to a users google account (google+ achievements). Can I do that through the API somehow? Been searching but can't find anything.

I've got an app with user profiles. On the users profile, I let them put links to their other social media accounts. I know app linking requires the correct app's schema and I know those schemas depend on the system (iOS, Android). I want the user to be able to just copy the url of their social media profile (http://www.whateversocialmedia.com/userprofile),paste it and save it. I will manipulate the string get the "userprofile" out and put it in the schema. HERE's the problem, Facebook, requires an ID for the schema, but most people don't know how to get their ID, while it's somewhat easy to get, it does require right clicking on a mouse and searching some code to get, Does Facebook have an api I can hit to send a username and get back a user ID? I feel like they would want people to link to their app easily. I've looked all over Graph API
I wanted to create video or picture posts on behalf of an authenticated user (i have their access token after they logged in to my using instagram credentials) on a future time.
For example, user creates a video post tonight, and schedules it to be posted tomorrow at 7AM.
Is this possible?
I know there are companies out there like hootsuite that claim to allow to schedule posts for social media account but i've never used them and i want to create cloud service, so an SDK or API is what I'm looking for.
Their developer portal is very vague so i wanted to ask the community for some direction.
Facebook (owns instagram) has documentation on how to share feed post from your app to instagram, but it still requires the instagram app to open and for the user to tap/click the submit button.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/sharing-to-feed/
any insights in the right direction is appreciated.
When a user signs in my web based game with Google SignIn through a web browser, access is granted. However, when the app makes a call to the Games Services API, it returns the following error:
User registration incomplete
If the user goes then to the Android Play Games app and creates a Gamer ID account, it works.
So, is there any way to tell the user to create a Gamer ID account when she signs in if she wants to proceed? Or, better, can Google redirect her to a page for that, complete the process and then come back to the app?
The Gamer account (also sometimes informally referred to as Games lite account) can only be created on Android devices. Once it is created it can be accessed from other platforms.
I'm trying to resolve an issue regarding Google+ and authorizing users for an app using Google OAuth-2. More specifically, I find the authorization is successful when the user presses Accept on the consent screen; using the oauth playground and the auth/games scope, that looks like: http://retrofist.com/temp/Auth_01.png
However, if I then check my app privileges at plus.google.com/apps, I see the playground listed as visible to 'Only You': http://retrofist.com/temp/Auth_02.png - even though 'Anyone on the web' was selected on the consent screen. As I'm using Google Play Games for leaderboards, the result is that no one can see any leaderboard entries until they have manually corrected this to 'Public' visibility.
Can anyone explain a reason or workaround for this? Many thanks.
I observed similar issues, my scores was not published publicly to the leaderboard of the game. I then realized that, this is only for users whose email is defined as tester email. I could see the scores as publicly posted after deleting those emails from tester list.
I have a website that displays the number of Twitter followers, Facebook fans, and LinkedIn connections on each individual account of mine. My problem is with Google+ – I can't seem to find in their API how I can retrieve this information. I want to retrieve/display the number of people who have me on their circles. Is there a way to do this?
Currently the only way to show the number of followers you have on Google+ is to use the badge: https://developers.google.com/+/web/badge/
The API currently only lets you call people.list() to show the number of people you are following.
