I viewed here:
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/?csw=1
there are reference to PhoneNumber in the response, is this actually possible, I went to their playground but could not find any phone number in the response of contacts, before moving on to a live implementation I would like to be sure phone numbers are retrievable.
As to Microsoft, I couldn't find any reference to phone number retrieval from oAuth, anybody knows if this is possible?
I'm able to see phone numbers when I run a query against Google's implementation.
I did notice that the initial results (first 25 only) didn't appear to have any, but once I dumped all my contacts (https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?max-results=99999) I was able to see the results that I'd expected.

Can an attacker view the query parameters of a shortened firebase dynamic link?
If yes, is it secure enough to use let’s say invite links that contain a group ID to access that certain group.
In that case wouldn’t there technically be the security issue of someone having a program attempt all ids till they get a correct ID?
After some research, the url parameters are indeed exposed and viewable.
Secondly, firebase document ID's consist of 20 characters, each character could be 26 * 2 (Alphabet Capital and small) + 10 number possibilities. Meaning that an ID has 62^20 combinations, Good luck to anyone trying that amount out.
Thirdly, i believe App attest would block a user if he's abusing resources.
I have a project that involves having public data downloaded from Google plus, can you give me a reference on how I can download like 1 GB of any type of public data from Google plus?
The data can be posts or circles information. I've tried to work with developer tools but the far I got is downloading my own profile information but what I need is public data.
Thanks !
There is no truly "public" data on Google+.
Every stream is unique to a user.
Try viewing the site without logging in, and you'll see what I mean.
Since users have the ability to block other users from viewing even their "public" posts, before Google shows you a post they check to see if you're on the blocked list. For them to be able to do that, you have to be logged in.
Your best bet would be to create a dummy account and only look at your nearby stream or What's Hot.
Otherwise you'd need to circle users, and that would create the stream. G+ is not like twitter. There's no firehose to speak of.
To programmatically cull data, you would have to use their API, but even then their HTTP API limits you to 20 results per search and you have to provide a query.
You could get up to 100 results per user if you picked individuals and got their userids, but again there's not a programmatic way to get a bulk dump.
You could randomly select users by using an activity search for a dictionary entry, and then seed that into the activity listing api... something like (in pure pseudocode)
for Random word in dictionary
group = userids from GET https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/activities?query=[word]
for userid in group
GET https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/[userid]/activities/collection/public
Actual code would of course depend on the language.
Context
I am in the process of providing some consultancy on doing a HTTP GET using YouTube Data API V3; in order to develop a Windows based application to GET a list of results from Youtube, for say a specific CATEGORY, or a specific TAG.
We are open to using any programming language(I'm from a C++ background and am hoping You tube will support direct HTTP connections without using Google client SDK and so on) to connect to YouTube and (HTTP) GET data.(Once a month or so, so YouTube API quotas should not be problem).
The Issue
We are being told by some of my client's web developers that YouTube API v3 will only return a maximum of 500 records/results, for say a query that returns JUST the Total viewers, the Video's link, and basic meta data such as that.
S, say I wish to find 5,000 results for category "House music" or "basketball" - and I have the Developer Key etc are all set up, would that be possible?
If so, what GET fields would I need to populate(such as "max_results_per_page")?
Thank you.
The API won't provide more than ~500 search results for any arbitrary query. It's by design. Technically, it means that the nextPageToken field won't be returned once you hit ~500 results. No additional parameter can change that.
If you want more than ~500 results for a query, you have to split it into more specific sub-queries. I'd suggest using the publishedAfter and publishedBefore parameters to achieve that, but feel free to experiment with the other ones here.
This only holds for the search-Query. Other queries like "PlaylisItem:list" deliver more results. I have tested with 100.000 items to get the videos of a playlist.
My apologies if I'm not using the most technical terms in my question as I am asking on behalf of a development team who is creating an app for me, but we are having trouble making a call to the Foursquare API to get public photos (at least one) of specific venues.
Until now they have only been able to get low resolution photos and are telling me we need to be authenticated but I'm not sure they are explaining what they need to me correctly.
I have searched for hours and have not been able to understand how we would be able to obtain at least one photo for a given venue. The closest I have come to is getting a list of photos for a venue using the example query: https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/43695300f964a5208c291fe3/photos?oauth_token=...TOKEN...&v=20130529
This involves the OAuth_Token and I had understood we didn't need this to get an image of a venue using the API.
Once again, apologies if I'm using any terms incorrectly as I am not a programmer myself. Thanks.
That call to venues/VENUE_ID/photos is indeed a way to solve your problem: you can do that to get public photos for specific venues, where the specific venue is identified by VENUE_ID. You don't need an OAuth token; instead, you can simply pass in client_id and client_secret parameters. Examine the URL pattern we document under "Userless access" here: https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/auth#userless
Once you have these responses, you need to construct a photo URL, and this is where you can specify the desired size. For each photo response, you take prefix + size + suffix to construct a full URL. For an example, see https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/responses/photo
I am trying to get some information about the post people do in google plus. In particular I am interested in the "+1"'s.
Either from the google api or directly from the google plus web site you can get the total count and name of the people who did "+1". But, I would be interested in getting the time or timestamp of the "+1"'s. Does anyone knows if it is possible or how can I do that?
Help is always appreciated
Thanks to all,
As you can see at https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/activities, the only data we return for a +1 is a list of the +1-ers, as well as the total number of people who +1'ed the item you are looking at.
If you would like to request additional data, please file a feature request in our Issue Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/google-plus-platform/issues/list. It would really help if you could be as detailed as possible in the type of data you would like to see and how you would ideally use that data.
If you're dealing with your own website and only care about +1s for pages on your own domain, you could use Google Analytic's social information to see how +1s change over time. You wouldn't get information about who did the +1ing.
