Did you notice that Google+ new user interface is lacking the ability
to share posts on LinkedIn?
Do you know if there is something I need to do to allow it?
Google+ never had the ability to share posts to LinkedIn.
I suspect that you have a chrome extension that provided this functionality, like Extended Share. The updated UI may require an update to the extension.

So as of now Instagram changed the policy and now i can't create an access token with relationships+likes scope. But third party apps like Crowdfire still work. On official Instagram page they said that only third party apps that will receive the privilege of advanced scope are the apps that Instagram itself approved. Anyone had any experience filing the application for approval? Or can you guys give me tips of how to bypass that.
p.s.
I have an app that creates multiple access_tokens for different client, nothing spammy, just likes the feed of users and automatically follows people that followed them. (yeah, some people are into that) And mass unfollow (idk if thats bad or not)
I just discovered Instagress.com, and noticed that they ask you for your Instagram username and password to automate certain activity such as likes, comments, follows, etc. on your IG account. However they do this without using IG's official API since their service is obviously against IG's TOS.
So I'm wondering, how are they technically able to do this? I was thinking they use something like Selenium, but this only automates web browsers and (for all I know) it's impossible to perform those interaction through Instagram's web interface.
Any ideas?
I just checked..and actually you CAN Like, Comment, and Follow via Instagram's web interface. So most likely they do use a browser and/or mask it as a mobile device. Also they are not using any IG app to authenticate your profile to any api app. Otherwise it would show up here: https://instagram.com/accounts/manage_access/
the instagram web access can allow you like, comment and follow and unfollow
Is it possible to share some user activities (some url) to his google+ account directly with PHP (Not like a share button and having an popups or redirections)?
Please suggest me a best practice for doing the same.
Currently, it is only possible with the official Google+ Share Link, but this will render a pop-up.
https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/share/#sharelink
Google+ does not allow for direct writing to a user's stream without a user's direct interaction. You can write to a user's Google+ history after they've approved your application to do so and then the user can choose whether or not to share the moments to their circles or publicly.
The Google+ history is still in developer preview.
I am working on iphone application.I wanted to get the social networking (facebook,twitter, etc) profile details by giving email id as query. Is there any method to get the profile ?
For Facebook you can try this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5247066/580173
For twitter this this not possible. You can use oAuth to authenticate the user and get the profile.
For LinkedIn I believe it's also not possible. LinkedIn doesn't communicate the emailaddress anywhere in their API.
See this forum post: https://developer.linkedin.com/thread/1131
I'm assuming that you're wanting to just add the social profile links to a user's profile inside your app...correct? (If you want to actually allow your users to post to their various social media accounts, your best bet is to go ahead and let users sign into each individual account via OAuth.)
If you're looking to get public social info via email address, your free options for a simple solution are pretty limited. Each different social network has its own method, so you'd need to build out a different process to query each social network you want to support. Without more info on which networks you want to support, there are any number of different answers to this question - so I'll just say your best bet is to check out the developer docs of whichever social networks you want to use.
If you're looking for a paid solution, you might try FullContact (full disclosure - I work for them). The Person API pretty much does exactly what you're looking for - pulling all public social media profiles associated with a particular email ID. API docs are here.
However, it is a paid solution, which may not be what you're after.
I would like to access the insights of a Facebook page via the API. It is very well possible to obtain the insights of a Facebook app via the graph API, but I cannot find something similar for Facebook pages. Am I missing something?
Specifically, I am looking for stats such as total users, active users, posts, etc, preferrably over time as well.
Insights table docs say it is possible to retrieve metrics for all pages that are owned by currently logged in user after requesting read_insights extended permission. I think after that graph insights should work (/<page_id>/insights?access_token=...). If not then you probably need to use FQL (they have example in docs for getting page metrics).
The trailing slash is breaking this query. If you remove it you will see insights if permissions are correct, or "Only administrators of applications, pages, and domains can retrieve Insights" if not.
