Ok, another hickup in my quest for Google+ masterhood :)
I'm trying to pre-populate circles for users in my domain using the Google+ for domains API. This works fine, however all users (let's say 150) get notifications in Google+ that the other 149 users added them. Is there ANY way to disable these notifications when populating circles with the API? Otherwise it's not really helping... don't want to spam my user's notification bar!
I don't believe that you can turn off these notifications currently. That seems like a reasonable feature request, you should report it on the Google+ Platform issue tracker.

I wanted to create video or picture posts on behalf of an authenticated user (i have their access token after they logged in to my using instagram credentials) on a future time.
For example, user creates a video post tonight, and schedules it to be posted tomorrow at 7AM.
Is this possible?
I know there are companies out there like hootsuite that claim to allow to schedule posts for social media account but i've never used them and i want to create cloud service, so an SDK or API is what I'm looking for.
Their developer portal is very vague so i wanted to ask the community for some direction.
Facebook (owns instagram) has documentation on how to share feed post from your app to instagram, but it still requires the instagram app to open and for the user to tap/click the submit button.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/sharing-to-feed/
any insights in the right direction is appreciated.
I want to pull likes and comments from any account that I specify. Can this be done with the Instagram API or do you have to have the accounts permissions to pull this info.
Essentially I want to be able to analyze this data without having log in credentials for the account.
Thanks!
Following the June 2016 changes to the API, you will need to invite the other users to be "Sandbox Users" of your API client. And even then, the access will be limited to their last 20 posts. Here's a quick explanation of the new Instagram API rules.
TL;DR
Sandbox users are other Instagram users that you “invite” to your
client. The main reason to do this is so that your app will then be
able to “see” their last twenty posts in addition to your own. In
other words, when they accept the invitation, they show up on the tiny
desert island where your app lives.
So you don't need their actual login credentials, but they do need to accept your invitation in order for it to work. The only other alternative is getting your app through the submission process to "go live" but there are very few use cases which they will accept anymore.
I'm trying to resolve an issue regarding Google+ and authorizing users for an app using Google OAuth-2. More specifically, I find the authorization is successful when the user presses Accept on the consent screen; using the oauth playground and the auth/games scope, that looks like: http://retrofist.com/temp/Auth_01.png
However, if I then check my app privileges at plus.google.com/apps, I see the playground listed as visible to 'Only You': http://retrofist.com/temp/Auth_02.png - even though 'Anyone on the web' was selected on the consent screen. As I'm using Google Play Games for leaderboards, the result is that no one can see any leaderboard entries until they have manually corrected this to 'Public' visibility.
Can anyone explain a reason or workaround for this? Many thanks.
I observed similar issues, my scores was not published publicly to the leaderboard of the game. I then realized that, this is only for users whose email is defined as tester email. I could see the scores as publicly posted after deleting those emails from tester list.
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 am trying to get just the top rectangle (https://twitter.com/cnnbrk see this page to see what I am talking about) from twitter accounts using the twitter api and placing them on my site. I want users to be able to press follow to follow the user as well. Anyone know a way to do this? Thanks!
That's quite easy. Retrieve the user with the corresponding Twitter API endpoint, i.e. GET users/show (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/users/show). Then, do your own rectangle to display the information provided by Twitter.
