I am looking to create an iphone app whose main menu will be a list of Twitter Lists. That part is simple. I was hoping there would be an easy way for each menu item chosen(list) to simply display the streaming tweets of all members in that list. Not just an rss feed. I would like it to display just like the lists display as they do in Twittelator and other apps, complete with avatar, time, links if any. It obviously can be done because it is already being done, but id like my app to specifically concentrate on the lists only. Any help is appreciated.
Use FHSTwitterEngine, it has the lists endpoints built in, along with every other endpoint you need. Plus, its synchronous so you can use it procedurally in a background thread.

For a client i want to integrate a new way of renting products in Shopify which they pick right up after ordering from a pickup point. This new way is a service which can be interacted with via an API. After ordering, a code is provided which can be used to open a locker somewhere. In the shop, on a custom page or some sort of reusable block i want have a custom HTML form which can interact with this API. The customer can then choose the product, the available pickup-point, pay for his/her order and receive the code for pickup. Is this possible?
I have done research but could not find this type of customizing.
I have built some test-apps but it seems these can only be embedded in the admin and not in the storefront itself (please correct me if i am wrong). I can interact with the storefront-api so that's a plus allright.
The ideal way would be for me to develop a React/Vue app which can be added to a page for walking trough this process described above.
Anyway, is it possible one way or another?
Thanks in advance for thinking with me on this one!
For my project in college I have decided to make an interactive map where, when the user hovers over a country the title of the top song in that country is displayed. I wanted to get that title from Spotify charts.
I have read every single page of the Spotify API guide and I am still confused as to how should I write the query in processing. I have the authorisation code and the OAuth token, but I'm not sure how should I include it in the actual sketch.
I really need all the help I can get, I am very new to this and I will appreciate every bit of advice.
Use a Spotify API Java Wrapper such as this one to handle API requests to Spotify.
Wrappers are external libraries that simplify API interfacing by providing functions that you can call from your code to make API requests. See this webpage for information about including external libraries in Processing sketches if you haven't done this before.
The most-played track per country isn't likely to change during operation of your program so requesting (it seems you've identified the correct API endpoint for this) the top track for each country just once is sufficient. This process could be done in setup(), for example, since it runs once only.
Then it's a matter of storing the data from these requests in some sort of data structure to allow your program to retrieve the most played track of the country that is being hovered over. A HashMap of country name to top track is appropriate, but there are many viable approaches.
Thanks in advance for the help.
So while developing an application, I need API data and I retrieve JSON objects. Not a big deal, but with one certain account it doesn't work.
https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/257255126?client_id=CLIENT_ID_HERE
The ID 257255126 is a track from this profile: https://soundcloud.com/discoverysounds1/.
Every track from this profile returns empty from the API while the same API link works if I insert a track ID from any other profile.
I've already notified the owner of the problem and he hasn't done anything weird or disabled API access if that's even possible.
What could be the problem here?
Thanks,
Jordan
I just tested this with a website I am developing using the API.
If I add one of the tracks to an existing playlist that I have created to test certain functionality, the track does not appear in the playist when retrieved via the /me/playlists endpoint.
When I load the playlist into the soundcloud widget, the track is visible and unrestricted (as in full duration and not a 30 second preview).
I am seeing similar behaviour with tracks that are marked as "soundcloud go" not being visible in the playlist tracks from the /me/playlists endpoint, but available via the widget when the playlist is loaded (albeit only a 30 second preview in their case).
Those items are identifiable as having a "SUB_HIGH_TIER" monetization_model
The track I loaded from your example
There seem to be various issues with the API right now related to the implementation of "soundcloud go"
i want to develop a site where user selects various videos and site will render a single video containing all videos in a pre-built template.
what would be the way to go about this (in order to create the movie dynamically from site) ?
what would be the server side framework to use ?
can i use after-effects and have site use it to generate such templates (optional - as i have a friend who works with after effects and can create templates) ?
as i am fairly new to the field any additional information is welcomed.
I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure you can't do what you described.
Rendering a video consumes huge resources (really huge), so a server park that could
handle this is just not worth it.
However, what you can do is to play the selected videos consecutively. That way, no rendering is necessary.
Also, forget about After Effects, for the same reasons described above.
You can achieve what you want by using a new plugin for After Effects called Templater Bot. From Dataclay's site:
Templater Bot is an enterprise solution for custom video on demand. It works as an automated system. Use it to periodically check for incoming data, pull new data in, and render video as a background process. Or use the command line interface to push data in to create new renders. Once your AE project is prepared, use Bot to customize and render it without operating the After Effects user interface. Developers can create front end applications, such as web or mobile apps, that feed data into Templater's data source, offering a collaborative, custom video content creation solution.
I'm playing around to make an app that lets people stream cartoons that I make. It's a very simple app, one ImageView is just loading in a html-homepage in a UIWebView. Witch contain links to .mov files. So if you tap them a movie will start playing. This is because I just want to update the html-file with new cartoons every week.
Is this an "ok" way to do things code:ing-wise? Or am i obligated to us some Objective-c streaming functions?
Is there a specific file-type that i have to use in the movie-files on the server?
Is the HTML static in your app, or does it point to a server? If it's the former, you may be able to get the app approved doing it the way you suggested, depending on the reviewer. If it's the latter, you're unlikely to get it approved by apple.
They tend to frown upon web sites bundled into apps, and will tell you to simply make your website usable with the phone. See section 2.12.
My suggestion is to spend a bit more time and offer iOS users a better - and more immersive - experience than is available via the web. As I'm sure you've found, there are many built-in ways to stream movies and to present them in a manner that surpasses a web-page-like experience.
