Does anyone know how to obtain a Gravatar API key? I've seen countless examples and tutorials for Gravatar that mention simply using your key, but I haven't been able to find out how to get one. As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be a way to do so on their site directly. Is this something they still offer/use?
Any help would be appreciated.
To obtain your profile image you just need to md5 your email address and make a request like this <img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/md5(email)" />
I'm sure you've moved on since you posted this nearly 10 years ago.. But after several hours in the same rabbit hole, I think I finally found a what we were looking for

Checking for live users with youtube's API isn't working for me.
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&channelId=*****&key=*****&type=video&eventType=live
removing channelId or eventType works but that's not what im looking for, could
this youtubes side or something?
There is definitely something going on with the YouTube Data API. If you give it a try on the on the Deverloper Console for Search: list it won't work if you are providing channelId. However, if you provide channelId it will always return 0 results.
Google's instructions for getting help say to add the tag google-apis-explorer to your post. If you can edit that, give it a try. Hopefully we'll all get some answers soon.
Can anyone help with using the Twitter API to upload a profile banner using the account/update_profile_banner? I have been searching on Google for so long and can't find any solution, thanks in advance
Based on https://gist.github.com/hayesdavis/97756
It looks like the docs are misleading, unless you are uploading a really small image, I expect it is critical to use multi part form data instead of encoding data in the query params.
Post your example code though, it's bad stackoverflow form to just say it doesn't work without showing the code and errors you are getting.
This question belongs on meta. I'd ask there, but I need to log in to ask a question, and that's where my problem is :)
I have an ID on BlogSpot.com (that's the Google Blog thing). I'm pretty sure that's my credential for this here site. However, I can't use it to log in to superuser.com (where I originally wanted to go) although I have my user ID linked to there.
The problem is, When I try to log in with my BlogSpot ID (and correct password), I end up on a 404 page; end of the line.
Could somebody please take a look? I'd prefer to get an answer here or to carl dot smotricz # gmail dot com, as I'm obviously unable to pick up answers on meta...
It seems that this gets solved by logging into Blogger in another tab (or browser window). Once this is done it seems to work.
I am actually feeling a bit dumb for asking this but I tried for half a day now and can't find a way to get information on the currently logged in user in my controllers as well as my views.
I tried several suggestions I found on the web like "authenticateService" etc.
Now, it is possible that I have a misconception about the basics of Grails there. I come from other frameworks where a task like this is a matter of {{ request.user }} and I am done with it.
My exact need is to be able to access the ID of the currently logged in user in order to serve a custom navigation.
Thx in advance for your help.
def user = springSecurityService.currentUser
always good to try the docs:
http://burtbeckwith.github.com/grails-spring-security-core/docs/manual/index.html
In gsps, there is a specific tag, which we use like
<sec:loggedInUserInfo field='firstName'/>
again, its in the docs posted above.
Nowadays, I think the way to do it is:
def user = getAuthenticatedUser()
I'm trying to retrieve a user timeline from Twitter using YQL's community Twitter table. The full REST url is
https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=SELECT%20*%20FROM%20twitter.status.timeline.home%20WHERE%20oauth_consumer_key%20%3D%20'kt9wDTrDREjXzRhBMpw'%20AND%20oauth_consumer_secret%20%3D%20'zNnA76G3NhZSeaJdRv7munbyutlcqK8k0hazf6JrEo'%20AND%20oauth_token%20%3D%20'195tuy9661-yJFEsgA0VPCwg6gsNHtuy2y2Kq2LwTdKe4BRYa4j'%20AND%20oauth_token_secret%20%3D%20'myWfyDTtOHscMmJy6tuyU1XDyiZJiIIRkK7sIPvT2ngI'&diagnostics=true&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys
(keys have been mangled to protect the guilty)
The response I get is:
The current table
'twitter.status.timeline.user' has
been blocked. It exceeded the allotted
quotas of either time or instructions
As I seem to be doing the querying correctly, I'm at a bit of a loss as to why I should get this response, particularly since it works as it should through the YQL console. The only thing I can think of is that I need to authorize my query somehow with an API key, or oAuth credentials, but I haven't been able to find a comprehensible example of how to do this.
Can anyone possibly point me in the right direction on this? YQL's community tables seem to offer a marvelous way to do very complicated things with ease, so I'd hate to fall at the last hurdle so to speak.
According to the twitter docs the call to this API endpoint is supposed to return the last tweets from the authorized user, right? Not from any kind of user. Just checking that this is really what you want to achieve.
From: http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/home_timeline
Returns the 20 most recent statuses,
including retweets if they exist,
posted by the authenticating user and
the user's they follow. This is the
same timeline seen by a user when they
login to twitter.com.
This is the definition of the datatable that you are using. I am a bit confused about the #id parameter in the example of that datatable because I don't see it being used anywhere.
www.datatables.org/twitter/twitter.status.timeline.home.xml
The error message you get sounds like an internal YQL error message and not like something that comes from Twitter, doesn't it?
Sorry for not being able to provide answer right now but maybe raising other related questions can help somebody else or you to figure it out. If I crack this later I will add to this again.
