In the https://developers.google.com/console/help/ page there are instructions for "Whitelisting by IP Address (Server-side applications)". The directions say to click "Configure traffic filters" on the Quotas page yet that link/button doesn't exist in my view. The only options I see is to Set per-user limits and to request a higher API limit.
Are the instructions out of date or am I not seeing something that's right in front of me?
Nevermind. The help page is at least almost a year out of date.
I think the solution is to edit the Allowed Referers list on the API Access pane.

I know that Airbnb haven't opened their API to the public yet, but searching the internet I found some people are using it.
I tried to contact them, and also Airbnb, but without any answers.
Does anyone here knows any contact email, page, or phone number that I can refer to?
I have read here that you can find your API key by looking at the requests that AirBNB uses in their own website. So use the web-developer tools in chrome, or firefox, or firebug in firefox and search trough the requests in the network panel until you find the key being used in any JSON request. Some urls contain this key param, you copy that :) works for me!
Oh BTW, i'd like to remind you that the API is currently not officially released to fetch data in the background while you are logged in. When you use this key, they'll know your identity. You might get blocked or at least warned by AirBNB for using their API while you are maybe not allowed to. Read their terms & conditions to make sure. I am not taking any responsibility, of course ;)
You can now find your API key on the meta tags of the source code when logged in to your dashboard. Search for canonical_host and you will find:
{"canonical_host":"www.airbnb.com","api_config":{"key":"<your-api-key>"}
Just to update this set of answers, the api is on the following address but you need to request access first.
https://www.airbnb.com/partner
It offers an FAQ that informs you about the process and it will always be updated
As far as I can tell, they have shut down this service as of today.
"Unfortunately, this is no longer available" will be what the API returns.
EDIT:
It started working again after a few days. Very odd, maybe an internal problem, or we were rate limited or something.
Log into Airbnb.com, open up the web developer console, go to the network tab, filter by type json, and look at the url and find "client_id".
I found this answer here
I am currently running a website where I promote different coffees from pubs in my city. On my website I have links to the different coffees.
I have recently seen some of this links being shared on Facebook and other social networks.
So I was wondering if it is somehow possible to track how often one of this links are being clicked?
I have tried using redirects to my site but Facebook uses my pictures in the previews, whereas I don't want this because it is misleading.
I have seen that this works with Bitly so it must somehow be possible?
And there are of course different services providing this, but it would be nice if it would run without any foreign services.
So basically I am looking for a solution which will let me know how often a link, origination from my site was clicked in Facebook, Google+ or any other forum.
There definitely is. Try looking into Google Analytics, it will show you show much data from your personal websites and links that it can blow your mind! Here is the link
Google Analytics helps you analyze visitor traffic and paint a
complete picture of your audience and their needs. Track the routes
people take to reach you and the devices they use to get there with
reporting tools like Traffic Sources. Learn what people are looking
for and what they like with In-Page Analytics. Then tailor your
marketing and site content for maximum impact.
You can even get a free package to use!
Hope this helps!
Yes you have plenty of analytical options.
Something as straight forward as Google Analytics for example.
If you are using cpanel on your hosts server, you even have options such as AWSTATS, which will also provide information.
If all else fails you can even use post data stored in your apache / nginx logs.
Since you have amended your question you might want to check out this tool. It is not google. :)
It is called Click Meter and performs Link Tracking and provides click reports, etc
I was redirected here by Shopify support. I have three main questions for a project I'll be working on and wanted to see how possible some of the things would be.
We are looking to develop a plugin for use with Shopify to track purchases through the use of a link shortener (to see which link referred what purchases, etc.). I have a few questions that I'm not 100% sure on even after reading through the documentation.
The first problem that I seem to have is tracking the query string that the link shortener appends to the URL once it redirects. For this service, they use "?visit_id={hash}" and I need to be able to access this--at the very least on the "Thank You" page after an order. I saw in the docs that there is "landing_page_ref" (http://wiki.shopify.com/Order#landing_site_ref) but considering our query string is "visit_id" instead of one of the acceptable parameters, how would I be able to use that query string?
Lastly, I just have a question about how webhooks work with plugins that are on the app store. I know I can just call webhooks to wherever I want, like my personal server, but if this app gets onto the app store, I obviously don't want to hook everything to my own server. Is there a way to make it run on the store itself, and which URL should I use?
Lastly, what is the preferred method for handling configuration options for the plugin? Is there a way to hook into the admin backend or would all configuration have to be in a file within the plugin?
Thanks,
Andrew
I'll do my best to answer these for you. It sounds like you're used to building plugins for something like Wordpress - Shopify apps are a bit different.
You can't access anything on the thank you page for the order.
The thank you page/checkout process goes through a secured Shopify page that you don't have access to - so if you want information about what your URL shortener attached to the store pages, you'll need to retrieve it while they're on the page (using something like a ScriptTag + Javascript to track the query string), or hope that it's inside the Order when you retrieve it later (using the API or a webhook).
Webhooks need to talk to a server you run.
They send the information to you, and then you process it and deal with it. If you want to use webhooks, you will need to run a server with your app on it for the webhooks to talk to.
You manage your own config.
Because you're running your own server to handle those webhooks, you handle configuration for your plugin there. The apps I've worked on typically have their own database for managing configuration options, as well as an admin panel to manage them (it's what the user accesses when they click 'Log Into [Your App]' on the "Manage Apps" screen).
You'll need to run your own server to host your Shopify app.
I'm trying to build a Google+ share feature on a website just like the one you see on questions here at stackoverflow. When you click that Google+ button an a question it opens a new window to a URL like this: https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://www.stackoverflow.com
I've experimented with this and found that for some reason it only works for a few domains, including stackoverflow.com. For example google.com: https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://www.google.com or eff.org: https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.eff.org
Other domains like: https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.cnn.com or: https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.revision3.com just redirect to my Google+ homepage.
What am I missing here? Why do some domains work and others don't? Is there some metadata present on the pages that work that is missing from the ones that don't? Or perhaps those domains that work were added to some Google+ beta program that I'm not aware of?
It looks like the new share URL is live now for all domains. The mobile 'hack' no longer appears to work, but something like this: https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://favo.rs does
Update: While still not officially supported by the Google+ platform the share URL does now work for all domains.
https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://example.org
It is probably a limited rollout with a few specific partners. The share URL has not publicly been announced as a supported feature by Google.
Google+ feature requests:
https://code.google.com/p/google-plus-platform/issues/detail?id=50
https://code.google.com/p/google-plus-platform/issues/detail?id=153
I personally suggest Google Plus Interactive Posts button
https://developers.google.com/+/web/share/interactive
to use in your apps/websites.Here Google Plus allows many customizations to do according to the requirement. I have used it in my app. Its a better option than Share button.
Technorarati's got their Cosmos api, which works fairly well but limits you to noncommercial use and no more than 500 queries a day.
Yahoo's got a Site Explorer InLink Data API, but it defines the task very literally, returning links from sidebar widgets in blogs rather than just links from inside blog content.
Is there any other alternative for tracking who's linking to a given URL (think of the discussion links that run below stories on Techmeme.com)? Or will I have to roll my own?
Well, it's not an API, but if you google (for example): "link:nytimes.com", the search results that come back show inbound links to that site.
I haven't tried to implement what you want yet, but the Google search API almost certainly has that functionality built in.
Is this for links to Urls under your control?
If so, you could whip up something quick that logs entries in the Referrer HTTP header.
If you wanted to do to this for an entire web site without altering application code, you could implement as an ISAPI filter or equivalent for your web server of choice.
Information available publicly from web crawlers is always going to be incomplete and unreliable (not that my solution isn't...).
