I want to post on google plus user's wall.
I was trying with inserting moments: https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/moments/insert I posted with success but new post(moment) is visible only in application activities.
I was trying to insert googleDomain activity, but there was a lot of problems with scopes and domain restricting. https://developers.google.com/+/domains/api/activities/insert
Now I'm trying to work with Interactive post.
My questions:
- Is possible in this time to post on user's wall (like in fb api)?
- What is the best way to do that ?
Interactive posts can post directly to the stream, but keep in mind that it will require an explicit user action (ie - they need to click a button on the pop-up to make the post).

I'm using default Instagram API, but when I try to fetch comments on posts, I'm getting a response with data empty, even when I know that there are comments on the post.
https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/comments/
So when I tried to report it, it told me to migrate to Instagram Graph API. I searched, its look it's for personal use for business, I was building a raffle website helper, randomly pick a winner from a comment, and this broke my project.
Edit 1
So I'm confused because when I access Instagram Developer website says to gonna to new Instagram Graph API, but here, I got a message that it's just for business accounts, but I already have registered my app with "facebook login" like the links you have sent to me
See demo what I'm building: https://youtu.be/DmVN5t0dRaY

This is deprecated by Instagram. It's not really telling you to use the Graph API, it's saying that this is the way they are going and the Graph API is intended for business that want to maintain their own page and interact more successfully with Instagram users.
Instagram still offers an endpoint
GET /users/self/media/recent
That should suit your needs.
I am aware of the update to Instagram apis. I have read through the documentation regarding fetching hashtag images. I'm confused regarding 2 points -
They have a section "Endpoints", which gives the url for fetching images using tags - https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/{tag-name}?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
At the same time, when i try to submit for review (under Permissions Review section), in order to get access token, i get this message -
"This use case is not supported. We do not approve the public_content permission for one-off projects such as displaying hashtag based content on your website. As alternative solution, you can show your own Instagram content, or find a company that offers this type of service (content discover, moderation, and display)."
The 2nd point makes me believe that Instagram has stopped sharing hashtag images to apis, at the same time i can find a lot of widgets still fetching hashtag images. How do they do that? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
The 2nd point makes me believe that Instagram has stopped sharing hashtag images to apis,
Correct. Instagram has made business decision to block most developers from accessing this content.
at the same time i can find a lot of widgets still fetching hashtag images.
This doesn't tell you much. They might have gotten their app approved for other purposes. Also it appears that Instagram has made some exceptions for big apps (like Tinder). Life is not fair.
How do they do that? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
You probably cannot. 99% of the use cases are not allowed and so they will reject your app if you try to submit it. Read this short article about what you can and cannot do with the new Instagram API
The other widgets you are talking about probably have presented Instagram with one of the valid use cases to fetch the data. They are able to get only the public content. This new restriction is probably a business decision. If you would still want to get the data you are looking for, you shopuld possibly go to a third party data provider who sell such data
I have a form in my site about writing a review. after form submission i need to share the review in my google plus reviews section. Is there any way to do this? While researching i found this: https://plus.google.com/account_id/about?review=1
But this did nothing.
It is not possible to programmatically post to Google+ the Google+ api only allows for read operations not write.
I want to post a message on google plus business page. Is there any way to do this.
I am confused between interactive post, app activities and moment.
Should I use Moment to post on business page?
I go through google api site documents, but not getting any solutions.
Please let me know if there is any other way to post in google plus page.
It depends on exactly what you mean by "post" and by a "business page".
I'm assuming that the "business page" is one that is not associated with a Google App account. If you're meaning something that will show up on your stream, and that people who have you in a circle will see your post - there is no public API from Google that will do what you want. You need to work with one of their partners, such as HootSuite, to automatically share messages to your stream.
Interactive posts are ways that a visitor to your website can be prompted to share something from your site to their stream on Google+. These interactive posts include both a link to your site as well as an additional "call to action" button to an individual item from your site. It does not automate posts, although it can make some parts of it easier.
App activities and moments are the same thing. They are meant to record actions that take place on your website on Google+, but they do not directly share anything into your stream. Instead, they create an event in your Google+ profile that can be seen only by those you permit it to - you can then, if you wish, share that event to your stream. So while the moment can be generated automatically, it still requires manual action to share it.
Finally, if you have a page that is associated with a Google App account, you can create posts automatically, but those posts are limited in scope. They are only visible to, at most, other people in the same App Domain as the account. This is useful for using Google+ as a communication tool inside an organization, but not useful for communicating with customers, for example.
I am creating a website using the twitter API that grabs users profile pictures quite often and am hitting API limits in development. Does twitter delete past profile pictures? I would be looking to just store the url and update there profile picture url every time they login.
Historically no but recently I've noticed old Twitter avatars sticking around longer. You might try something like I've laid out on my blog. The basic premis is you bind a callback to error event on the image with JavaScript. When it triggers you dynamically load the current image for the user and fetch the new URL on the backend.
