I am a developer from China where we cannot access content from google plus or facebook due to some "special reason(been blocked)", and I want to get some wonderful content from google+, and put them into my online education website, all content is about learning knowledge.
So my first solution is: call google+ api to get these content, then store them into my site DB(of course, I will write clearly where those are from), but this solution is only for the text, for images, most of them were stored in googleusercontent.com(which is also blocked in China), and I don't want to download these images then store to my own website(overload is too big).
I want to transfer these pictures into other websites(not been blocked in China), then I noticed site: getpocket.com can save image from other websites, and they seem have some cache, can I use this feature? after get image url from google+, then call getpocket api to save this image, but don't know where api will return the cached image url), is it possible do this?
Does anyone have good solution for this images? so I can transfer these good learning knowledge to Chinese people?
(google+ activity api like this: https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/108305986241738899171/activities/public?maxResults=20&key=)
thanks everybody
I use mongoDB to store image which will be transfer to base64 string. e.g: http://www.tomylearn.com/netTest/index/listInfonews.do?categoryid=47

LinkedIn has a /share API endpoint which accepts a link and a message. The link is afterwards expanded to an OpenGraph card and that gives you a way to stick an image preview in there, but it seems there's no other way to upload an image/picture to LinkedIn feed like you can do in the web app itself.
Is there a way, private API, undocumented endpoint or some other way to do that?
Creating a rich media share is done in two steps. First, the media is uploaded to LinkedIn's media platform. Then, a personal or organization share referencing that media is created.

No. You need to give us the URL and we'll scrape it (or pull it from our cache).
I have a question about uploading images from my smartphone to my website.
I want create a little blog where I write and upload image in real time.
For example I like this restaurant, i take pictures of dishes and I share those pic on my blog.
My question is: is possible using the Api/App of twitter or instagram do that?
Take a picture from my smartphone camera, have a "button" for share image on my website.
I hope my english let you understand what I say.
thank's Davide
The answer is yes - you can publish your photo on for example twitter and then use one of many ways to show this (your twitter feed as an example) on your blog. The easiest will probably be to use a twitter widget: https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/new
Of course, you can also use the APIs to import the photos from twitter/insta - but that requires more coding,
I can't seem to find any documentation or reference on upload and sharing images on Google+.
Is this action current supported in google+?
Their moment sharing seems to accept thumbnail url, but I don't want to keep the image hosted on my site once it is created and shared by visitor.
You have a few different options, but I'm not sure any of them are really what you're looking for.
Google+ doesn't really allow outside apps to upload and share something automatically.
As you've observed, the closest you can get is generating a Moment for them to share. And while there are similarities to Instant Upload, it isn't identical. You could probably use a data url to encode and store the image as part of the moment, but I haven't tested this.
Another alternative is to use the Google Drive API to store the image in their Drive space, permit the image to be read publicly, get a link for it, and use this link as the thumbnail URL. Similarly, you might be able to use the Picasa Web Albums Data API to store the image. Both have good, but different, integration with Google+. The former is more modern, while the latter has more features that are tailored for images.
There are multiple servies that let you insert pictures and videos into the twitter stream. - with instagram and youtube being two of the first that come to mind.
The question is - how do I do that?
If I want a custom image, and I want to link them back to my site - do I have to use the /statuses/update_with_media.json endpoint (which adds it to pics.twitter.com) along with my own link? Meaning two links?
Is there a trick to how these sites do it, or are they officially supported by Twitter?
To play "in-line" on Twitter.com. Only a select few services will allow this.
in case of videos for example, refer to this article on Twitters website.
https://support.twitter.com/groups/31-twitter-basics/topics/109-tweets-messages/articles/75603-how-to-post-videos-on-twitter
You would need two links if you wanted to host a picture on Twitter itself and have it link to another place. The pictures hyper-link would be converted and another link would need to be added next to it.

I wrote a script that uses the Google Images JSON API to automatically fetch thumbnails for posts. I'm currently linking directly to the thumbnail (eg. http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTok4m3DWNRv8gxMDTE0bwj8m-jYl2UGdlbc7ig158m0XosD-lcQEIFcg). Does Google allow that?
If not, I should be allowed to download the thumbnails to my server right?
Its all about traffic. If your app will make tons of traffic, they can ban your server.
Anyway, better/best way is to ask them about this subject.
Also this might help you : Google Terms of Service Highlights
I see problems when you download the image thumbnail to your server and render. Images shown in search results might be copyrighted/inappropriate. They are crawled images so the owner can request google to remove at anytime. On contrary, if you cache them locally and render, I see the workflow is broken and you might be rendering image that ideally should have been revoked.
Coming back to hot linking, can you explain bit more on the actual usage context. What API you are using, what are you searching at, do you own the website / posts that you are filtering?
Also image search API is deprecated one. By terms it would be active only for three years since notice.
