Create a MySpace API - (verify your email error) - api

I am trying to create a MySpace API so that my users can connect to my site using MySpace.
All the tutorials say "go to http://developer.myspace.com/ and create a developer account..."
I signed up for a new MySpace account, verified my email, gave them access to my gmail so they could search for friends, invited a few friends, basically completed all the steps they ask you too as a new user...
But whenever I go over to http://developer.myspace.com/ and click "Developer Sign Up" or "Start building!" I receive an error message that says:
We're sorry, but you must verify your email address first! You cannot access many MySpace features until you complete this step. Please return to your MySpace profile and click the "Verify your email address" link. When this step is complete, you can re-apply to the developer platform.
I have verified my account 3 times using the link in the email they sent me, and waited 24 hours for any changes to be applied. There is no "Verify your email address" link on your profile page, so this appears to be a deprecated error message.
A bit of digging around shows this problem has existed since at least 2 years:
http://developer.myspace.com/community/forums/t/9579.aspx?PageIndex=1
... and has even been posted on here, without resolution: Myspace developer api: No access / verify email
Any ideas how to get access to my API key?
Do I just have to wait for my account to show as verified...? (It's been 24 hrs already)

Empty POST request's body from Google Pay in program Loyalty Card

We faced with testing problem on the side Google Pay.
At the current stage, we get into the GPay only after Card registration on the side of our site, when after filling out the form user is redirected to the GPay page to create a new Card.
A Card is being created : we see it with the data that is entered into the form, but the GPay doesn't send any requests to our site. A special test environment from GPay is needed?
Google Pay's support service asks: "Are you receiving the POST from GPay when you attempt the enrollment flow from the app?"
How we can apply from GPay if we can't create a Card from GP at this stage?
The process of creating a Card is described in paragraph 1 (on the site side).
How to get into the GPay for enrollment at the testing stage?
Support service writes "When you submit your user details from GPay, it sends a POST request to your server so that when your page is displayed it contains the information from the user data form. "
As we pointed, at the current stage we can't send data from the GPay.
It was expected thatGoogle Pay's support service send a POST request to our site, but we don't see POST request's body. It is empty.
Therefore, we asked earlier, What internet service we can see it with?
They answered, as we understood, that we can see it by sending from GPay.
How to send it from the GPay, if at the testing stage we can only see
newly created cards and we don’t get any requests from GPay?
Is testing take place from GPay app?
If so, why don't we have an access?
We get a request POST, but with an empty request body.
The GPay has a lot of users with the Loyalty Card.
Someone has already come across this.
We didn't find such situations on the Internet.
How anybody have handled situations like this before?
How to create a new Card from GPay and see a POST request?
We do not have access to the class settings in the account. On Russian language, we do not see the callback feature, and on English technical support sends to us a screenshot - there are settings in the account. Could there be access rights issues?
To accoding with your link from paragraph 5 https://developers.google.com/pay/passes/rest/v1/loyaltyclass#discoverableprogrammerchantsignupinfo - we did not find the insert barcode /manually settings. Can you tell us where to find them?
At the moment, we can scan the barcode in GPay app(due to help of GPay support service ), but we do not receive a Post request after inserting bar code in GPay app.
Our Russian account settings looks like:
GPay support service see our account on English so:
We don't see these settings for barcode.
In accordance with the documentation https://developers.google.com/pay/passes/guides/overview/how-to/use-callbacks, we set up a callback feature, but we do not receive a post request in the format json (php):
$responseJson_str = file_get_contents('php://input');
$responseJson = '[' . $responseJson_str . ']';
$response = json_decode($responseJson, true);
var_dump( $response);
$file_server = "server_calback.log";
$fw = fopen($file_server, "a");
fwrite($fw, "POST " . var_export($response, true) . "\n");
fclose($fw);
What is wrong?
I show a screenshot with the request POST to our site
https://itcrk.icu/testcallback.php
from https://reqbin.com/
At the beginning of testing stage, we implemented signin / signup as you indicated in points 1-6. We did this functionality was not because we needed it, but thought that it was necessary for testing.
Then we wrote in support team that we need a barcode/manually, as users of other cards are used to. We were answered that we need settings in the account, we did not find them. Support team helped us to configure the barcode in the account of the Merchant Center - Google.We insert barcode in the GPay , but we don’t get json on the site. We assume a problem with access rights in the Merchant Center - Google. How do other cardholders usually set up a barcode in their accounts? We do not have access to the settings n the Merchant Center - Google, unfortunately. Support team writes that there should be access, but it does not.
It turned out that there are two ways to work with cards in the GPay. The first method is described in the documentation here https://developers.google.com/pay/passes/guides/enrollment-signin, the second method is to scan the card(barcode/manually) and use it as a card storage, but card data is not sent to the user’s server.
The Loyalty card is simply displayed in the GPay with its number(from barcode/manually) and that's all.
Sign up and enrollment are triggered from the google pay app: https://developers.google.com/pay/passes/guides/enrollment-signin
You will see post once a user goes into the Google Pay app and hits add pass then finds your program and hits sign up/ sign in.
See 1-2.
You have to use the account you provide to support team - its only visible for them for testing.
It may not be from Google. Google requests have the body with the user details.
Go to google pay app and sign in with user that is whitelisted by support to see the program. Hit add pass, then loyalty program then search for your program then hit sign up/ sign in and it will post to the endpoint defined here: https://developers.google.com/pay/passes/rest/v1/loyaltyclass#discoverableprogrammerchantsignupinfo
Let me also clarify enrollment and sign in. This is what a user sees, what the Google Pay app does and finally what a merchant needs to do:
Google Pay user navigates to passes tab in Google Pay App, hits "+ Pass":
Google Pay chooses which type of pass to add, hits loyalty for this example:
User searches and presses on the specific program they want to sign up for (theres a testing phase before it goes public, in which only accounts which you tell support team can see the program in google pay app):
User then fills out information to share and consents to share their information with this merchant, then they press continue.
Google Pay Then does a POST request with user info to endpoint defined here on the loyalty class by merchant: https://developers.google.com/pay/passes/rest/v1/loyaltyclass#discoverableprogrammerchantsignupinfo
Here is where merchant, yourself would have to be listening for POST to endpoint you defined in the setting mentioned previously and give user form to finish providing all details needed and then redirect to the JWT link to automatically save the pass.
See https://developers.google.com/pay/passes/partners/enrollment-signin for reference.

Test email and password for Quick Books API Oauth authentication

I want to test connecting to Quick Books using their API. So I've set up everything I need. When I click on a button and it gets me to a page where I should enter an email and a password. I'd like to use their "test" email and password. But I didn't find any anything about that? Do they exist?
There is no "test" username and password.
Either submit a support ticket to Intuit to get a free trial of QuickBooks Online, or just sign up for the 30-day QuickBooks Online free trial to test.

How to get client ID and secret key from paypal account

Using developer account of paypal I could get client ID and secret key by creating an app but not with the live account.
I am using REST API for transactions on my website where I ask users(who has paypal accounts) to enter their client ID and secret key, and use this info to transfer the money into their account, payments are done by credit card.
It is working fine with the developer account but where is the option to get client ID and secret key from live account ?
OR
Is there any other way I can do this, I want to transfer the money to paypal accounts and payments are always done from credit card.
This has changed at PayPal. (Quite a lot actually!)
As before - log in to your PayPal account at: https://developer.paypal.com
PayPal, like everyone else, Wants to show ads. So you may have to look around to actually get to the developer website. Just keep looking until you get to where it has "Log in" at the top.
Once logged in click on the "Dashboard".
Once to the Dashboard click on the "My Account" FIRST- BEFORE anything else.
Once to the "My Account" part make sure you can do everything (ie: there are GREEN check marks in both columns. Or if you don't want to do some things - make sure they are NOT check marked.)
To activate (or Enable) something just click on the link and follow what it says to do.
Once through with that click on the "My Apps" link on the left. If you are no longer where you can do that then go back to #2 above and start over.
Once on the "My Apps" page; click on the link to "Create App".
This will ask you to name the app and select an account to develop the app with.
Once through putting in all of that information - you are through and PayPal will give you all of the information you need.
I don't know about anyone else - but that's just a few more steps than just logging in and clicking a button. :-)
You should use the new Developer Portal to create your Apps and get sandbox and live credentials for each: https://developer.paypal.com/
Log in to https://developer.paypal.com and click the Applications tab.
On the https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/applications/myapps click Create App.
On the Create New App page, provide an app name.
Click Create App, and then review the information displayed about your app (as described below)
now you will get client id and secret key

How do I detect Google account deletion?

I've just started working with Google OAUTH2 in order to add a "Sign in with Google" button to my web site.
According to the "Google+ Platform Developer Policies" section B.2.a.III, if a user deletes their Google account, I must delete all personal information I obtained from the Google API relating to them.
Does this apply to my web application as well? And if so, how do I detect that a user's Google account no longer exists? Surely, a successful login will only occur if the Google account exists; so how can I tell if a previously existing account is no longer there?
Maybe someone has a better approach, but a simple and practical solution would be have a link buried somewhere on your site that allows a user to request account deletion via email (assuming you still possess a valid email for him - if he deletes is Gmail and that's all you have then you have no way to contact him other than manually via phone or something).
The doc you link to says Give users a reasonably convenient way to delete any of their personal information you’ve obtained from the API.
So assuming you still have a valid email address, this would work:
Your FAQ says "What if I want to delete my account?". Links to account deletion page.
Account deletion page: What's your email? _____ (Continue)
Email is sent to user with (securely randomized) confirmation link.
Confirmation link is clicked by user which deletes all of his data from your site.
Success of that process is dependent only on your system and the email arriving.
(If you are concerned about complying to EU data protection law, you might want to implement this feature anyway - since one legally has the right to demand the deletion of one's own personal data.)

Error when trying to log into ESPN Masher API

I'm a long time user of Mashery, but when I try to sign into the ESPN API I get the following message:
Login Failed
You must click on the link in your user confirmation email before you can login.
This seems easily solvable - however, I've never received a confirmation email.
Any help from the ESPN API staff would be greatly appreciated.
//MD
I took a look at this, but it's difficult to see which user account is yours without more information. I do see one account in a "waiting" status, so I'll presume that is yours. I do see another account using a gmail address that has the same first and last name as the one that is waiting to be confirmed. The email address of the account waiting for confirmation is a .co account.
I don't see an option to resend the confirmation email, perhaps requesting a password reset on the login screen will help. I'll see what else I can do, but try the reset first.
