how to query google checkout ending balance? - api

Writing an android widget to display the most current Google checkout ending balance and can not figure out how to get this number directly. I have dissected the page but don't understand how the number is generated. I can gain access through a simple browser interface and view my daily ending balance but cant pull that single number for display on the widget. Any help would be grateful. Thanks.

There currently aren't any Authorization APIs to request balance.
In order to get this information, you would need to request the Google login credentials from the user which is something that Google probably doesn't want you to do(the reason why client login was deprecated).
I can't think of a great solution to this problem with out Google enabling an OAuth2 API.

Google one tap sign up/sign in approval request

I requested one tap signup/signin for website API as documented in https://developers.google.com/identity/one-tap/web/
However, there has been no update or hear an update from them for more than a week. Does anybody know how long it usually takes to get the request reviewed?
Thanks
I got mail back from them after around 3 weeks of submitting the form.
They said currently you won't be granted access to API. However, they are in the process of including some additional security from their side and it may take a few months. We can hope to get API access then.

Login Via Twitter

It has been almost a month and I couldn't figure this out.
I am developing a social network application and I want the users to be able to log in via their Twitter and Facebook account Like the screenshot below:
The Facebook is done, and I am stock with the twitter, Note that these pictures are actually set as a buttons.
What I want exactly is:
The user can be able to login (sign up) on the application using their Twitter and I will retrieve the basic information from Twitter API "Name,Username,Profile picture" in my application and store them in my database.
Note: I am using Parse and I already have a table call user.
Please help me :'(
It sounds like you haven't tried anything with Twitter yet.
If this were my code, I'd probably use the Twitter API to login, which they introduce you to here.
Or you can use one of the handy Objective-C libraries they've listed here

Where is the api for retrieving user joined communities in Google+?

I'm creating a tool for a person to login into their google+ account and to lists all communities they were created or joined. I had googling around for a day and read google+ api references, but I couldn't find any information on:
Url of the API for accessing user's created or joined comminities,
Request parameters to perform such query
My tool has already succeed to perform oauth login and get access_token and ready to make any API call, But now I'm stuck trying to find the right Url and requirements to perform the API call as I wanted.
Please help
There currently is no API method to do this. If you would like to see such a feature added, you can star this feature request.

Can the Yodlee API be used to retrieve the transactions on any credit card?

A client I work with wants to know if it's possible to use the Yodlee API to look up recent transactions on any credit card.
They'd like it to work without the user needing to be signed up with Yodlee, either directly at the site, or indirectly through a branded partner.
I assume this would be possible if the credit card company itself shared it's transaction data with Yodlee directly, and made it available to their API customers, but I haven't been able to figure this out from the docs available on their website, and haven't been able to reach anyone at Yodlee themselves to ask.
I work for Yodlee. Sorry to hear you're having a hard time getting a hold of us. To answer your question, yes the user has to explicitly authorize any application that leverages the Yodlee API and explicitly add access to their financial accounts for that application.
Best,
Grace
Yodlee screenscrapes websites to retrieve it's information.
Which means that they physically (but in an automated fashion) visit the website in a browser (IE8). Thus to pull any information down they have to visit the website, log in successfully, (optionally but more so on more banks; authenticate the computer) and then they can see all of the information that the user sees. Their API acts as a real time bridge between you (the end user using your website or app) and this browser.
So you have to either implement their very much so convoluted Yodlee API or use one of their generic hosted pages and direct the user to it where upon he/she enters the necessary information. You also have to have an agreement with them too. You also have to convince the user to do it :)

Using the twitter API for background processing

'Background processing' is a terrible term, but I can't think of a better one at this time on a Friday!
I need a specific part of my web app to communicate with twitter - post a status using a single, fixed account. Every twitter oauth tutorial I've seen talks about applications in the general sense - those with multiple users. Does anyone have an example of basic twitter status updating via a non-interactive process?
OK, after a lot of searching and hair-pulling, the answer seems to be:
Go to your app settings page on twitter
Click the 'My Access Token' button in the right hand column
Take a note of the sccess token details on this page
Follow these instructions to use the single-use token details
