I want to test connecting to Quick Books using their API. So I've set up everything I need. When I click on a button and it gets me to a page where I should enter an email and a password. I'd like to use their "test" email and password. But I didn't find any anything about that? Do they exist?
There is no "test" username and password.
Either submit a support ticket to Intuit to get a free trial of QuickBooks Online, or just sign up for the 30-day QuickBooks Online free trial to test.

I have an account on Gmail. I have implemented login with google service on a project.
Now the Question is, What method is the optimal or the best practice which is followed regarding the account?
There are two ways:
I make an account with normal email and password sign up.
Login with Google
What if I use the same email and get registered with two different accounts on the project or there should be error saying "the account is already exists with this email"??
So lets see if i follow you.
You have a system which has two login options.
Create new user register with your email
Login with your googel account.
In the event a user uses their gmail email address and trys to login with the ir google account your getting an error that the email already exists.
The issue being that both system are trying to create a new user. This is where the issue is. Your system should be checking if the email exits if it does then link the accounts sources rather then creating a new user. SO the user would have to login sources one for normal login and password and the other as an external source being google.
How you achieve this depends upon your system.
Using developer account of paypal I could get client ID and secret key by creating an app but not with the live account.
I am using REST API for transactions on my website where I ask users(who has paypal accounts) to enter their client ID and secret key, and use this info to transfer the money into their account, payments are done by credit card.
It is working fine with the developer account but where is the option to get client ID and secret key from live account ?
OR
Is there any other way I can do this, I want to transfer the money to paypal accounts and payments are always done from credit card.
This has changed at PayPal. (Quite a lot actually!)
As before - log in to your PayPal account at: https://developer.paypal.com
PayPal, like everyone else, Wants to show ads. So you may have to look around to actually get to the developer website. Just keep looking until you get to where it has "Log in" at the top.
Once logged in click on the "Dashboard".
Once to the Dashboard click on the "My Account" FIRST- BEFORE anything else.
Once to the "My Account" part make sure you can do everything (ie: there are GREEN check marks in both columns. Or if you don't want to do some things - make sure they are NOT check marked.)
To activate (or Enable) something just click on the link and follow what it says to do.
Once through with that click on the "My Apps" link on the left. If you are no longer where you can do that then go back to #2 above and start over.
Once on the "My Apps" page; click on the link to "Create App".
This will ask you to name the app and select an account to develop the app with.
Once through putting in all of that information - you are through and PayPal will give you all of the information you need.
I don't know about anyone else - but that's just a few more steps than just logging in and clicking a button. :-)
You should use the new Developer Portal to create your Apps and get sandbox and live credentials for each: https://developer.paypal.com/
Log in to https://developer.paypal.com and click the Applications tab.
On the https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/applications/myapps click Create App.
On the Create New App page, provide an app name.
Click Create App, and then review the information displayed about your app (as described below)
now you will get client id and secret key
I've just started working with Google OAUTH2 in order to add a "Sign in with Google" button to my web site.
According to the "Google+ Platform Developer Policies" section B.2.a.III, if a user deletes their Google account, I must delete all personal information I obtained from the Google API relating to them.
Does this apply to my web application as well? And if so, how do I detect that a user's Google account no longer exists? Surely, a successful login will only occur if the Google account exists; so how can I tell if a previously existing account is no longer there?
Maybe someone has a better approach, but a simple and practical solution would be have a link buried somewhere on your site that allows a user to request account deletion via email (assuming you still possess a valid email for him - if he deletes is Gmail and that's all you have then you have no way to contact him other than manually via phone or something).
The doc you link to says Give users a reasonably convenient way to delete any of their personal information you’ve obtained from the API.
So assuming you still have a valid email address, this would work:
Your FAQ says "What if I want to delete my account?". Links to account deletion page.
Account deletion page: What's your email? _____ (Continue)
Email is sent to user with (securely randomized) confirmation link.
Confirmation link is clicked by user which deletes all of his data from your site.
Success of that process is dependent only on your system and the email arriving.
(If you are concerned about complying to EU data protection law, you might want to implement this feature anyway - since one legally has the right to demand the deletion of one's own personal data.)
I am trying to create a MySpace API so that my users can connect to my site using MySpace.
All the tutorials say "go to http://developer.myspace.com/ and create a developer account..."
I signed up for a new MySpace account, verified my email, gave them access to my gmail so they could search for friends, invited a few friends, basically completed all the steps they ask you too as a new user...
But whenever I go over to http://developer.myspace.com/ and click "Developer Sign Up" or "Start building!" I receive an error message that says:
We're sorry, but you must verify your email address first! You cannot access many MySpace features until you complete this step. Please return to your MySpace profile and click the "Verify your email address" link. When this step is complete, you can re-apply to the developer platform.
I have verified my account 3 times using the link in the email they sent me, and waited 24 hours for any changes to be applied. There is no "Verify your email address" link on your profile page, so this appears to be a deprecated error message.
A bit of digging around shows this problem has existed since at least 2 years:
http://developer.myspace.com/community/forums/t/9579.aspx?PageIndex=1
... and has even been posted on here, without resolution: Myspace developer api: No access / verify email
Any ideas how to get access to my API key?
Do I just have to wait for my account to show as verified...? (It's been 24 hrs already)
I wish to write an API that can get the contacts list from Gmail, Yahoo and other e-mails. How can this be done? Are there already existing APIs for them or do I need to write PHP code to extract information?
I need a referral system like DropBox has. Has anyone coded it themselves or is it available as open source?
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals
Please guide me in this regard. Any link or explanation will do the job.
Thanks :)
Google has an API: http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/contacts/
And Yahoo also has an API: http://developer.yahoo.com/social/contacts/
