The application I'm making is similar to YouTube. It is a TableView that has a custom cell that displays a screenshot of the video, title, duration, and rating. I think I'm able to create this custom cell, my question is what to use to get the information from the website? Thanks for the help, I'm still inexperienced.
Update: Maybe I didn't word it properly, but I meant to get the video and information from a different web site that isn't YouTube for its videos, sorry for the confusion.
You use YouTube's API.

is there a way you can get video thumbnail from another people video or post?
I tried searching in google and stackoverflow and all i found is getting your own video thumbnail which is working fine by using https://graph.facebook.com/v11.0/443055553744880/thumbnails?access_token=my_access_token but it is not working if i change the video_id to other people video_id (443055553744880 is the video_id). I want to get any public video thumbnail regardless of who post it, not just my own video. Is there anyway to do that?
Thanks in advance
No, that is not really possible.
For access to videos on pages you do not have admin access to, you would need the Page Public Content Access feature - only the purpose of that is to “Provide competitive benchmark analysis”, so it is probably unlikely you would get it approved for other purposes such as to show videos on your site.
And for access to any content on user profiles, you would need the individual user’s permission first.
If you just want to show the videos somewhere, then you can use the Embedded Video & Live Video Player for that, or the oEmbed endpoints.
Where would I find the code to edit an iframe (youtube video) in Shopify? Right now in a blog it is not resizing in mobile and looks half cut off. I have looked in the article folder, blog folder, theme.liquid. I've checked everywhere. I don't even know what code to send you guys so you can help me figure it out. Basically what I am trying to do is find the code and then somehow resize it so it doesn't look cut off in mobile view. Does anyone know how to do that?
I'm working on the sharing aspects of a website, and got stuck with google's hangouts chat.
I want links to the site to be displayed as "cards" with my preview image (ideally, an animated gif), the same way these are:

I was hoping the generic "og:image" meta tag would do the trick, but that's not working
So, I checked out the source code of these pages, but that didn't help either:
In the github page, for example, the url to the image can be found in the og:image and twitter:image:src meta tags. I thought it would be weird for 'twitter:image:src' to be the solution, but I tried anyways. It didn't work.
I've been looking everywhere for some documentation on this, but all I can find is stuff about creating a bot, which is not what I'm looking for.
Thanks for any advice
Please point me to the right directions, I want to implement this on my app:

The image above came from instagram app after tapping on Add to Photo Map option, 3rd page when adding a new image.
From what I understand so far, core location can give me the exact position of the device but not
the other locations I see on the page above as suggestions.
Thanks
Those location names come from facebook places, you have call the facebook graph API for places and then find the corresponding instagram location id, here is related question with the answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26685713/423089
So we decided to use foursquare's api.
Thanks.
A little background info is that my team and I developed a website for a Real Estate Agency and I've been assigned the task of setting the image of the currently selected property into facebook's sharing feature.
The webpage for the property is dynamic as there are several listings, so what I've done is select the first image that is loaded on the page and set it to the og:image meta tag.
Now let's say I copy the URL and post it on Facebook, it'll show the correct thumbnail, HOWEVER, it'll also show multiple thumbnails from other listings.
All images on the website are over 200 x 200px and are within an aspect ratio of 3:1.
My question is, how do I tell Facebook to only take my initial image and not grab others while it's as it.
Is there perhaps a SelectSingleImage property that I can apply?
I've already spent more time searching for the answer to this issue than I would have liked, so thanks for any help provided, it's much appreciated.
One method I use sometimes is to recognize Facebook's server and simply provide it with different data. This way you can actually only have one image on the page (as far as Facebook knows).
I don't know anything about vb.net, but here is a simple code sample in PHP. All it does is perform a regular expression on the user agent of the request to match it against the string "facebook".
$isFacebook = false;
if(preg_match("/facebook/",strtolower($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]))) {
$isFacebook = true;
}
Facebook may very well change their user agent signature one day, but for now, I'm pretty sure you'll be safe but keep synced with the Developers Blog and the Roadmap.
It seems that Facebook saved those images in cache for some bizarre reason, but to resolve this issue all I had to do was enter the URL into Facebook's Linter tool which in turn cleared the cache on their server.
