I have implemented twitter API (oAUTH) by going through this tutorial http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-authenticate-users-with-twitter-oauth/ . Its working and I can update my status (which I am guessing its kinda sharing) . The problem I am facing now is how can I add pictures , few words and a link to this $twitteroauth->post('statuses/update', array('status' => 'Hello Nettuts+'));. Something like twitter cards.
Is there another good tutorial which explains and demonstarte all the functions of Twitter API (oAUTH).
Thanks. :)
You can include a link/URL in your status update in the same way that you have included the other words (Hello Nettuts+).
However, you cannot add pictures in this manner - you will need to use the statuses/update_with_media endpoint as opposed to the statuses/update endpoint that you are using in your existing code. You can learn more about how to do this by reading Twitter's API documentation:
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/post/statuses/update_with_media
And you can see some example code here:

I am exploring how to search and filter tweets using the Twitter API version 2 which as of this writing has been newly released. The documentation for this particular endpoint is available here.
I tried successfully searching for the following query:
https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/recent?query=puppy
As I needed to be more specific, I checked out v1.1 docs for rules and filtering and tried to look for tweets containing puppy images (filter:image) and no retweets (-filter:retweets) but I could not get the query in v2 (preferably) or v1.1 working with postman even though I tried percent-encoding for the special characters.
It is also not clear to me from the documentation (though mentioned in the docs) how to specify a certain language like English (lang=english) and a certain distance in the query "37.781157,-122.398720,1mi"
Does somebody know how to pass it into the query?
For language filter you can refer the post
https://community.postman.com/t/define-the-language-of-tweets/20643
But I am not sure about the image filter. But in recent times a developer sean.keegan from Postman is talking more about twitter API's in Postman. Please do check out https://community.postman.com/search?q=twitter and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySbLo13Fk-c
I hope these will be helpful for you!!
I am trying to add the Minelead API to my code to allow myself to search and find out user emails from certain domains.
I am unable to find a list of syntax or an explanation of how to implement the API into my code.
I can include the API through script tags but aside from that I am completely lost, an answer or a good API tutorial would really help,thank you.

As for your request, I need to know what programming language you're using, and what you're trying to do exactly.
we have examples in the documentation page of simple cURL requests.
Here's also a simple example in Python using the requests module
import requests as req
uri = "https://api.minelead.io/v1/search/?domain=example.com&key=yourApiKey"
response = req.get(uri)
print(response.json())
Here is an excerpt from an assignment I am currently doing:
Build a dummy app that:
Contains a REST API that operates over a single resource.
Contains a Backbone client that consumes that API and can list, show, create, update, and remove that resource.
My understanding was that the term "consume" implies total coverage of the API's exposed ressources. However, the assignment says "consumes that API and can [CRUD] that resource".
Is that sentence redundant or is my understanding of the term wrong?
(Bonus question: why searching Google for this question returns countless language-specific tutorials for "consuming an API" but none explain what the term actually means?).
To consume an API means to basically use any part of it from your application.
Consuming an API here means creating a client which can send requests to the API that you build.
It appears that you need to create and API which can handle Create, retrieve, update and delete (CRUD) of a resource. For instance if your REST api is to create a blog, your API should handle CRUD functions for the object/resource blogpost.
POST - Create a blog post
GET - Retrieve a blog post
PUT - Update a blog post
DELETE - Delete a blog post.
It is about the direction of the app's interaction with API - it either provides an API, or consumes it, so there are providers and consumers of API, and this is just a less general and ambiguous term than 'using'.
Simply consuming an API means using it in your application.
For, e.g., GET request to https://someapi/Users will give you all the users.
You need to request this URL https://someapi/Users to get all the users and then you can use it into your application.
I always think about Albert Einstein's quote of "If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself." when someone asks a question that you might take for granted due to technical experience you have on a subject.
I think the following medium.com article does an excellent job explaining it: How do you explain API to a 5-year-old?
simply means : using the API.
You can do it with HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE..) using something like Postman (Tool) or maybe you have a client app/library that calls these methods implicitly.
Is there a way to get a list of related artists through the spotify api. Like the small list that displays in the actual program?
Would be very useful if so, but I am not so sure
Cheers
Yes, it's available through libspotify. There's a SPArtistBrowse class that contains a lot of metadata, including the related artists. Check out the
CocoaLibSpotify comes with a documentation package, where you can find more details on what's included: https://github.com/spotify/cocoalibspotify.
Do note that it's currently extremely slow to load an entire SPArtistBrowse object. I'm assuming it's got something to do with libspotify loading it all in one chunk and on the main thread (?). From what I know, Spotify are suppose to remedy that in an upcoming version of libspotify, though.
Get an artist's related artists is now available through the Spotify Web API.
GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/{id}/related-artists is the format.
https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/43ZHCT0cAZBISjO8DG9PnE/related-artists is an example request.
For more information, see the API documentation.
There is also a JSFiddle demo app.
Definitely! All you need is the "artist_id" and the SpotifyPublicAPI can return a list of the related artists. You don't need an access_token at all.
You can easily test the API call here on RapidAPI. I've specifically linked you to the getArtistsRelatedArtists endpoint. Rapid will provide you with a code snippet you can copy and paste directly into your code to make the call.
Here is an example testing the API call using Beyonce's artist_id:
Here is a sample code snippet provided by RapidAPI wth Beyonce's artist_id passed as a parameter:
Is it possible to create a photo collection using the flickr API?
I haven't found any example code to achieve this, however you CAN do it on the flickr website, and i suppose flickr uses the API internally for their site?

This may be too late to help but, I thought I'd post the solution here for posterity (as this post came up while i was google'ing for the answer before i discovered it).
The method is undocumented in the Flickr API but, it does seem to work (tested via the REST interface).
The method is: flickr.collections.create
Required parameters:
auth_token
api_sig
title (Example value: "My Awesome Title Here.")
Optional parameters:
api_key
auth_hash
cb
description (Example value: "My Awesome Description Here")
parent_id (Example Value: 0)
src (Example: "js")
I found the method by enabling Firebug's console while creating a collection in the Flickr web interface and examining the POST. I have no idea what auth_hash nor cb refer to but, I would assume that they are required while using the JavaScript interface as opposed to REST.
Anything that uses the JavaScript interface on Flickr can be reverse engineered by examining the POST that occurs immediately after you take the action in the web interface.
Official support for the "flickr.collections.*" portion of the Flickr API has indeed been delayed for some reason (since at least 4/2007). There is a discussion thread over on Flickr, with a bit more information (reverse engineering) on the undocumented API.
Yes, you can. But, first you need to specify so-called 'primary photo'.
This means that flickr doesn't allow you to create empty albums (collections). I don't know why they decided to restrict creation of empty collections but it's a fact.
