How tom find / get the DropBox Application Secret? - dropbox

Does anyone know where to find / obtain the DropBox application key? I only see the following under my app:
Status
Permission type
App key
Drop-ins domains

Drop-ins apps don't have secrets. If you're trying to use the Core API or Sync API, you'll need to choose the "Dropbox API" type when you first create your app.

Authenticating user without creating app manifest in teams app

Just because of authentication I need to create an app manifest and share the app manifest with users who want to test it .Is there a way to Authenticate user without creating app manifest so that I can directly share bot link with users.
Talking to your bot by ID is intended for basic testing purposes only. Any Teams-specific functionality you have added to your bot fails to work.
Doc ref: Talk to your bot directly by ID
In this example
Is is an OAUTH flow with Azure AD directory v2 without any app manifest.
This one is in java_springboot but you can find the same for your prefered langage in the samples directory. The number 18 (and all the others) in all samples is the example but in different langages.

Google Drive API: The user does not have sufficient permissions for this file using API Key

I'm trying to integrate Google Drive using the SDK with my app written in VB.Net using API Key and I'm following this tutorial https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/dotnet/get_started#simple
What happens is that when calling the ExecuteAsync method, I receive back an Exception saying that the user does not have sufficient permissions for this file.
Basically, I only have the API key (with restriction to access only Google Drive API) and I don't want to ask the user for permissions, because I'd like to use a specific account (so everyone would be sending files to that account).
I couldn't find a way to "link" this API Key to a specific account also.
I ended up using a service account for the Google Drive API.
The idea here was quite simple, where I created this account and downloaded a generated JSON file that is used by the SDK to Authenticate and call the API.
With this service account, I didn't use the API Key and I could leverage Permissions
and set permissions to each user on each created folder.

Google Photos REST API with Angular/Java/dotNet

I am trying to connect to google photo in angular and been searching since last two days about google photos REST api but couldn't find any useful example.
Could somebody help me with this on how to use google photos api in angular. an example would be great if I get it working I will creating sample and put it on github or others to look at.
Another thing I am trying is to connect api without any user interaction. I have tried playgrounds but its prompting to authorize access as well. Idea is to build ionic app that can connect to my google photos without needing me to authenticate access to it with my id and secret.
my app would be in angular(ionic) or java(android) so would prefer example (if any) in those platform but ok with dotnet or php as well. Won't be able to use library in dotnet or php.
Thanks

Retrieving song name by track id spotify without a oAuth key

I was trying to build a web app that uses spotify api to get the song/artist name by a track id(spotify), my intention was so everyone could use the web app, not only spotify users.
But I guess it's not possible to use the API without logging in the user ?
Can somebody confirm or maybe point me to a solution ?
According to the documentation you can register your application and use your secret to retrieve any non user-specific information.

Access Shopify API from an External App

I am trying to access the Shopify API from an external app that I am building (mobile). For example, I would like to access this API:
https://mystore.myshopify.com/admin/products.json
Of course I would need to authenticate my request first. So far everybody I asked (including Shopify support), suggested that the only way to access the data is through a Shopify App.
Can you suggest a way to do this?
I have found the answer. Follow these steps if you want to access the Shopify API from an external app:
Login to your store as an admin
Go to Apps
Create a Private App
Use the following pattern with every URL you create (I am using this to get all the orders)
https://:#.myshopify.com/admin/orders.json
The API Key and the password appear in your private app info page.
