How can I use the google plus api to check if a personalized url is taken? Do I need to use OAuth to check this?
I've successfully connected to the G+ api using OAuth but can't find this simple functionality anywhere after checking the documentation.
Google+ does not provide an API for specifically checking the availability of a custom URL; however, you could use the People.get endpoint to specifically query for to check for results for a specific ID, such as "+LarryPage" (response fields limited to id,name):
GET https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/%2BLarryPage?fields=id%2Cname&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
Which returns:
{
"id": "106189723444098348646",
"name": {
"familyName": "Page",
"givenName": "Larry"
}
}
Or if you try an invalid custom ID, like "+SergeyBatmanBrin", you'd get an HTTP 404 as the response because that ID doesn't exist.
You will need to register a project in the Google APIs Console to register your client and get an API key or OAuth client ID to allow your app to perform these queries.

Here is the google oauth2 discovery url.
https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
And in the response, it looks like this
{
"issuer": "https://accounts.google.com",
"authorization_endpoint":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth",
"token_endpoint": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
"userinfo_endpoint": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/userinfo",
"revocation_endpoint": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/revoke",
"jwks_uri": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs",
...
The token_endpoint in the google document here https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2WebServer#exchange-authorization-code said it should be https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token.
Maybe recently the token_endpoint is updated, but when I use https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token this one to exchange token with code., I will get an error response.
{ "error": { "code": 400, "message": "Request contains an invalid argument.", "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT" } }
And if I use https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token to do the same thing, everything is fine.
Is there anything changed in google identify platform? Thanks!
The OAuth endpoint has been updated a number of times over the last five years. I normally follow the one i the discovery doc but your example shows that that is not always the best course of action all of the time.
I have never heard of google shutting down old endpoints i suggest you use the one that works. As a side note i will contact Google to see if i can get some feed back as to why one call worked and the other didnt.
I wanted to use the Bigcommerce API from here , and fetch all custom product fileds, so I used this get path:
GET /stores/{store_hash}/v2/products/{product_id}/custom_fields/{id}.
Bacause I needed {store_hash} I visited this site , and creted "Legacy API Account" and created in admin panel legacy api account and generated: Api path and Api token.
I thought that the store_hash is the same as api token, but it wasn't.
What am I do now, how does look like the full path to using this clause :
for "OAuth" :
GET /stores/{store_hash}/v2/products/{product_id}/custom_fields/{id}.
or for "Basic Auth" :
GET /api/v2/products/{product_id}/custom_fields/{id}
In this way, I would like to do:
$.getJSON( "/stores/{store_hash}/v2/products/{product_id}/custom_fields/{id}", function( data ) { // custom code with data });
Thank you in advance for any help

If you're just using the legacy API you can request directly from the store's API path.
$.getJSON( "https://store-XXXXX.mybigcommerce.com/api/v2/products/{product_id}/custom_fields/{id}")
If the store has their own private SSL installed that API address will be their domain instead of the .mybigcommerce address
i am using this link
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/[user-id]/relationship?access_token=[ACCESS-TOKEN]
in the above link user_id is the id of the person to whom i want to follow and Access token is created for my app in instagram developer site.
and it give response like
{
"meta":
{
"error_type":"OAuthPermissionsException",
"code":400,
"error_message":"This request requires scope=relationships, but this access token is not authorized with this scope. The user must re-authorize your application with scope=relationships to be granted write permissions."
}
}
i searched on internet and some one told me to add scope=relationships while creating access token i don't know how to do this..
Simple Words
Follow a Instagram user on click of a button .
scope=likes+comments+relationships+basic
use it then you are trying to login
"To request multiple scopes at once, simply separate the scopes by a space. In the url, this equates to an escaped space (“+”)."

I am using the Foursquare API to add/edit venues. I have created a FS user, and created my app. I have done the oAuth token exchange and have my user token.
From here I can make the required API calls to add a venue, get this venue, and then edit this venue. This works brilliantly, like a charm.
I was then made a manager of a different venue. In the FS web front-end, I am able to view this venue, and manage it - i.e. change it's name and so on.
When I then try and change this second venue via the API I get the following response:
{
"meta": {
"code": 403,
"errorType": "not_authorized",
"errorDetail": "User not authorized to edit venue"
},
"response": {}
}
The only difference between the API call that works, and the one that doesn't, is the FS Venue ID (which I know is correct). I'm obviously missing something, but I have no idea what - any thoughts?
The reason seems to be that when you add someone as an owner of the venue via the website, this action only allows this person to manage the Venue via the website. Think of it as the FS website is simply a FS App, like yours or mine.
It might be considered a bit odd if my app could authorise your app to act as manager for one of my users, I suppose.
I have used Facebook API but I am new to Linkedin api.
I need some help on how to get information (name, birthday, etc) about my ALL Connections, and I need help with both the token and the info-related API calls.
As for the token -- in Facebook there is the Facebook Console to generate tokens at runtime and test our API calls... Does LinkedIn have something similar?
Update: I'm able to get list of connections using:
http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections?modified=new
... but how can I also get birthdates (if shared publicly)? I've attempted:
http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections:(headline,first-name,last-name,date-of-birth)
...however, that shows me the first and last name but NOT the date of birth.
You can use the rest console here: http://developer.linkedin.com/rest-console
There is a template method you can use called "Get My Connections".
I hope this helps.
Update: LinkedIn has restricted their open API access, and this no longer works.
https://apigee.com/console/linkedin
Select OAuth2, click connect, then allow LinkedIn to privede apigee to your LI profile. Then in the left collumn, select Get My Connections. apigee prepares most of params, except format (xml/json), which you can add yourself.
Looks like now no such API available(Looks like depricated by Linkedin). Please let me know if i am wrong and suggest other ways to achieve user's connections.
I am getting this in response
{
"errorCode": 0,
"message": "Access to connections denied",
"requestId": "6Sxxxxxxx",
"status": 403,
"timestamp": 14xxxxxxxxx
}
Please see : https://developer.linkedin.com/support/developer-program-transition
I think what you are looking for, is the Linkedin Connections API. You can look at the documentation provided here -> http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/connections-api
There are also various other APIs for accessing profile, groups, companies, and jobs.
It returns an XML document so, you should be able to generate tokens and test your API calls without any problem.
These APIs are no longer available
2019 still works but with a different approach.
Do this:
You may follow the steps from here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/authorization-code-flow?context=linkedin/consumer/context
1 - Create an APP with r_1st_connections permission
2 - Authorization (STEP 2 from link)
GET https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization
scope should be r_1st_connections (your app must have this permission)
3 - Log in with your username and password
4 - Linkedin will return you code
something like: ?code=QWERTY
5 - Get your Access Token (STEP 3 from link)
POST https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken
6 - Get your connections
GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/connections?q=viewer&start=0&count=50
