I am working on a foursquare application where I am depending on user-generated data.
Say for instance that I want to categorize places with rare tap beers on the menu, then I would like users to write in their "What are you up to"-comment something like #RareBeer Pabst Blue Ribbon, and be able to catch that comment.
I understand that my OAuthed user has to befriend users to be able to see this, but how do I proceed from there?
The best way for you to go about this would be to use the Real-Time APIs we detail here: https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/realtime.
Once you set up a Push API consumer, you will be able to get checkins from your OAuthed users sent directly to your server as they occur. Each push will include the shout, if there was one, allowing you to parse the comments your users are leaving as they come in. This is the method that apps like Hashtag Mom ( http://hashtagmom.com/ ) use to be able to gather and act upon user shouts ASAP.

If you type IAM <GO> in the terminal you'll be shown the UserID, UUID, CLID etc.
Is it possible to extract this information through blpapi when using the Desktop API to connect via BBComm? I've seen references to Identity and populating that by sending an AuthorizationRequest but it appears that's only relevant for SAPI/B-PIPE.
To the best of my knowledge and after asking a couple of Bloomberg reps - this isn't possible. The best work around which I've found is: each user creates an EQS screen called their UUID. Add some filtering which causes this screening to return nothing. Then the application, upon start up, requests all possible UUIDs as EQS screens and stops when it doesn't get back an error - that's the UUID.
This is a dirty, dirty hack and, granted, this only works if you have few distinct users using your system. You don't want to ask may users to create such a screen and probably don't want to iterate over thousands of EQS screen names.
There is a "SID report" which is provide together with monthly invoices from Bloomberg which contains the UUIDs for users - this can be used to look up existing users but when setting up a brand new account you have to manually copy this information out of the terminal.
I would like to know about authorization in jUDDI. I would like to give Publisher capabilities to few of my clients And also I want few of my clients to inquire or access only those services which are related to them. I want to hide the rest of the services which are not related to them. Can we achieve this using jUDDI? and How?
As of right now, no. There is an open ticket for this to provide role, group, list, etc access control on a per record (business/service) basis but it hasn't been implemented.
This problem is also a complex one, since UDDI has both a search and a getDetails set of methods. Get Details in the easy one, but search is very complex. Filtering out records and keeping the paging option still functional would be a challenge
I'm running a contest on the web where the image with the most likes wins. It's tiresom having to go through 900 images manually so what I want to do is, sort all images with the tag lets say #computer after the amount of likes, with the most liked pics on top. I have searched the net like crazy for some program or site that does this (ExtraGram, gramhoot, statigram, webstagram) but none offer to sort by amount of likes and it drives me INSANE! It's a really relevant request.
I've tried istafeed.js but it doesn't include all images, actually it leaves out the ones with the moest likes which defies the purpose.
There's nothing I know of in the Instagram API that sends back media sorted by likes in advance. I don't think there's a tool to do this either, but writing one is relatively simple IMO and I've done it before for a contest specifically.
The simplest thing to do is to do the following:
Use the Instagram API (via a library or pure REST) to query by tag. For instance, if you only care about the most recently tagged media or you want to process by date, you can use the [/tag/tag-name/media/recent][1] enpoint.
Page through each result page by processing the next_max_id/next_max_tag_id.
Collect the results locally into a database. You will receive the "like" count for each media item. You will have to update the data if you want to track the likes over time.
Sort the results using your database or if it's a small result set, you could skip #3 and just sort in memory.
If you need to refresh the results, you need to subscribe to the Tag via the API. You can give Instagram a URL to then push updates, and then you'll have to retrieve 1 or media items and update them in your database accordingly.
You will of course need to register your application with Instagram to get an API key if you want to do this. Then you can either send them your client_id or use OAuth.
The best way to achieve this is to pull the photos in and then sort them programmatically based on the likes numeric value. I've designed a plugin that does this automatically for you for anyone interested.

Is there any way to know the state of a track using the deezer api.
"playing" or "not playing" ?
I can't find anything in the docs... I'd like to know the currently playing track for each user of my app... Or at least the last played track.
I assume there might be some privacy issues... any thought?
We don't have a 'now playing' status but you can use the User/History fields:
GET https://api.deezer.com/user/1494543/history
That will give you the full paginated listening history of a given user, updated almost realtime (allow 1 or 2 minutes sometimes). The first result is the last song listened.
Regarding privacy, you'll need to ask the 'listening_history' permission at login.
I want to use the Meetup.com API to have a group everyone belongs to, but then enable members to receive notifications of certain types of events on their smartphones. For example the group would have 3000 members and have activist meetings, social meetings, and training meetings. Users would be able to specify interests so they would only get notified of the categories they are interested in.
Is there a clean way to do this through the meetup API? If there is metadata like a category that would be perfect.
Looking at their event get api I don't think there is a clean way to do it. Seems storing it as a hidden HTML value is a hacky way to do it. I'll probably end up with another datastore referencing the eventID and store my info there.
