I'm trying to build a system which has a tool to upload profile picture to other networks. Twitter have an API point for it, Facebook have some "tricks", but my question is: there is a way to make this on Google +?
I checked the API (https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/) and didn't found anything, but at Facebook, for example, I can post the picture to a specific album and then send the user to an window to redefine the profile pic. In Google+ I've this option too? What else I can do in this case?
I found something older that permits the upload of new pictures at a Google Apps Profile (https://developers.google.com/google-apps/profiles/#Updating). Maybe this is the path but, as far as I know, the Google+ is the new Google Profile =\

It has been almost a month and I couldn't figure this out.
I am developing a social network application and I want the users to be able to log in via their Twitter and Facebook account Like the screenshot below:
The Facebook is done, and I am stock with the twitter, Note that these pictures are actually set as a buttons.
What I want exactly is:
The user can be able to login (sign up) on the application using their Twitter and I will retrieve the basic information from Twitter API "Name,Username,Profile picture" in my application and store them in my database.
Note: I am using Parse and I already have a table call user.
Please help me :'(
It sounds like you haven't tried anything with Twitter yet.
If this were my code, I'd probably use the Twitter API to login, which they introduce you to here.
Or you can use one of the handy Objective-C libraries they've listed here
I've read thru the Instagram API and didn't see a way to change profile information (photo, bio, links etc) via the API. Is this possible in some other way?
Or a broader question, is the only way to edit a users profile information manually?
Currently there is no official Instagram API to edit profile info, profile picture, upload/delete photos.
You have to use Instagram app to change profile information and upload photos.
I want to achieve the same as Hootsuite, publish a post in a PAGE STREAM. But I don't know even where to look for it. It looks like Hootsuite is using the API, because they prompt an open Auth authentication where the user selects and authorize what this APP can do with his data.
With the PHP client I've been able of posting in the user APP stream (different from the user main stream) using moments class, and get data from the user using plus class client, both from the PHP library available here: https://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/source/checkout
But I don't know how to write in a user's page. Does anyone knows or can point me where to go to, at least, publish on main Google+ page stream as Hootsuite? Thanks.
The Google+ Pages API is currently available to a limited number of parters only, including HootSuite. You can request access to the API at https://developers.google.com/+/api/pages-signup but there is no guarantee when, or even if, Google will approve your access.
Although you can use the HootSuite console to post messages to Google+ pages (see http://hootsuite.com/google+), it isn't clear if you can use the HootSuite API to do so.
The Google Apps API allows companies to make custom integrations into the mail environment. One of the things possible is to use the Profile API to keep contact information up to date. Now that our users are starting to explore the use of Google+ and Hangouts, there comes a need to keep information in sync there too.
One of the key features of the Profile API is the ability to update the profile image (detailed here: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/profiles/#AddUpdating_photo). However, this API doesn't connect back into the Google+ platform by default so the profile images for the organization are getting out of sync.
Is it possible to set it up such that when one image is updated, the corresponding Google+ account's image is updated as well?
Currently, there is not an API for updating the Google+ profile image or other profile data.
Is it possible to share some user activities (some url) to his google+ account directly with PHP (Not like a share button and having an popups or redirections)?
Please suggest me a best practice for doing the same.
Currently, it is only possible with the official Google+ Share Link, but this will render a pop-up.

Google+ does not allow for direct writing to a user's stream without a user's direct interaction. You can write to a user's Google+ history after they've approved your application to do so and then the user can choose whether or not to share the moments to their circles or publicly.
The Google+ history is still in developer preview.
