How to get user online status throught browser (URL needed)

I used the below link.
https://api.roblox.com/users/**$UserID**/onlinestatus
for example:
https://api.roblox.com/users/543226965/onlinestatus
I have been receiving an error message from last time. The error message is given below.
{"errors":[{"code":404,"message":"NotFound"}]}
I heard the roblox API have been changed, but I can not find the right solutions, so I will be grateful for any answer.
Thanks.

It appears that you're trying to access the user's online status. As of right now, you can access this information by querying https://api.roblox.com/users/<user_id>, which returns a JSON object. Looking up IsOnline in the dictionary should return what you're trying to get
Here's an example I coded in Python:
import requests
res = requests.get(url='https://api.roblox.com/users/543226965')
res = res.json()
print(res['IsOnline'])
>>> True/False

How to create "Round Robin Call Forwarding Function" in Twilio Stack

I have researched high and low through multiple websites and have not found a single fully documented solution for round-robin call forwarding with-in the Twilio stack; let alone within Twilio Studio. The last time this question was asked in detail was in 2013 so your help is greatly appreciated. I am looking to find a solution to the following to educate myself and others:
[Round Robin Scenario]
Mentioned by Phil Krnjeu on Aug 1 '13 at 23:04, "I'm trying to create a website that has a phone number on it (say, a phone number for a school). When you call that number, it has different secretary offices (A,B,C, D). I want to create something where the main number is called, and then it goes and calls phone number A the first time, the second time someone calls the main number, number B is called, C, then D. Once D is called (which would be the 4th call), the 5th call goes back to A."
The response to the above question was to use an IVR Screening & Recording application which requires the caller to pick an agent which is not a true Round Robin solution. The solution I am looking for and many others require the system to know which agent is in a group and which agent is next to receive a call.
[Key Features Needed]
Ability to add forwarding numbers as identified above A, B, C, D as a group or IVR extensions such as 1 = Management, 2 = Sales and etc...
Set a subsequent calling rule that notates in a DB of some sort. Caller A through D, for example, equals 1 unsuccessful. When caller A has been forwarded a call it now equals 0 successful then the script stops and allows the call to be answered by the user or its voicemail. Then the next call comes in and is forwarded to user B and assigned a 0 successful value, then the script stops.
After the caller finishes the call or finishes leaving a voicemail the script needs to end the call.
[Final Destination]
The round-robin should finalize its call with the forwarded phone numbers voicemail.
[Known Issues]
Forwarding a call to multiple numbers not stopping when someone answers
[Options]
Once this question is posted I am sure someone will ask in the near future what if I wanted the call to be forwarded to a Twilio voicemail instead of using the forwarded phone number's voicemail which could be let's say a cell phone. I do not necessarily need this feature, however, making an additional comment would be very helpful to the community. Thank you for your time.
I have limited knowledge of programming besides having the ability to review articles posted by other users. One article I researched in detail that did not work for me was, "IVR: Screening & Recording with PHP and Laravel."
The solution I am looking for first would be to make this code through the new Twilio Studio interface if that is not possible then any other solution would be helpful to all.

Sam here from the Twilio Support Team. You can build what you've described using Twilio's Runtime suite, Studio, and Functions.
I wrote a blog post with detailed instructions and screenshots here, and I've included a summarized version below as well.
CREATE YOUR VARIABLE
First, you need to create a serverless Variable which will be used as the round robin counter. The variable must be inside an Environment, which is inside a Service. This is the only part of the application where you will need your own laptop. You can see how to create these with any of the SDKs or using curl in the docs.
Create a Service
Create an Environment
Create a Variable
Be sure to copy the SIDs of your Service, Environment, and Variable since you will need that for your function.
For convenience, this is how you create the Variable in NodeJS.
const accountSid = 'your_account_sid';
const authToken = 'your_auth_token';
const client = require('twilio')(accountSid, authToken);
client.serverless.services('ZSXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
.environments('ZEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
.variables
.create({key: 'key', value: 'value'})
.then(variable => console.log(variable.sid));
CREATE YOUR FUNCTION
Create the following Environment Variables here in the console and save set them equal to their respective SID that you saved earlier.
RR_SERVICE_SID
RR_ENV_SID
RR_VAR_SID_CTR
Next, make sure you check the Enable ACCOUNT_SID and AUTH_TOKEN checkbox above the Environment Variables section under Credentials.
Be sure your Twilio Client version in the Dependencies section is set to the latest, so we can be sure it includes the Serverless resources. At the time of writing (March 2020), the default Client version does not include them, so we upgraded to 3.41.1, which was the latest.
Go here in the console and create a blank Function.
Copy and paste the following code and replace the numbers with the ones you would like to include in your Round Robin (make sure the environment variables you just created match what's in the code).
exports.handler = function(context, event, callback) {
// Number List
let numbers = [
"+18652142345", //Sam
"+18651092837", //Tina
"+19193271892", //Matt
// Copy and paste line above to add another number.
];
// Initialize Twilio Client
let client = context.getTwilioClient();
// Fetch Round Robin Ctr
client.serverless.services(context.RR_SERVICE_SID)
.environments(context.RR_ENV_SID)
.variables(context.RR_VAR_SID_CTR)
.fetch()
.then(variable => {
// Use counter value to determine number to call
let number = numbers[variable.value];
// Create var with new ctr value
let ctr = variable.value;
// Check if current counter value is less than RR length (i.e. the number of numbers in round robin)
// If so, increment
if(ctr == numbers.length-1) {
ctr = 0;
}
// Otherwise reset ctr
else ctr++;
// Update counter value
client.serverless.services(context.RR_SERVICE_SID)
.environments(context.RR_ENV_SID)
.variables(context.RR_VAR_SID_CTR)
.update({value: ctr})
.then(resp => {
// Return number to call
let response = {number};
// Return our counter value and a null error value
callback(null, response);
});
});
};
CREATE YOUR STUDIO FLOW
Click the red plus sign to create a new Flow here.
Give the Flow a name and click Next.
Scroll to the bottom of the templates and click 'Import from JSON' and click Next.
Paste the Flow JSON shown here and click Next.
Click the RoundRobin function widget and select the Function you just created under the Default service.
Click the FunctionError widget, click MESSAGING & CHAT CONFIG, and change the SEND MESSAGE TO number to a number that you would like to notify by text in the event of a Function failure.
Click the DefaultNumber widget and change the default number that will be forwarded to in the event of a Function failure.
Click the Publish button at the top of your Flow.
CONFIGURE YOUR TWILIO NUMBER
Go here in the console.
Click the Twilio number you would like to configure.
Scroll down to the A CALL COMES IN dropdown in the Voice section and select Studio Flow.
Select your new Flow in the Select a Flow dropdown to the right.
Click Save at the bottom.
And that's it. You're now all set to test!

Wit.ai seems to be jumping randomly between stories

I have two separate simple stories on my Wit.ai bot,
the first one takes in the word "Debug", sends "test" then runs a function that outputs context stuff to the console called test_context()
the second one takes in an address, runs a function that changes the context called new_session(), then sends a confirmation of the change to the user structured like "your location has been changed to {address}"
when I type directly into the wit.ai test console it seems to correctly detect the stories and run the corresponding functions, but when I try to use it through the Node.js API it seems to act completely randomly.
Sometimes when typing in an address it will run test_context() followed by new_session(), then output no text, sometimes it will just output the test text followed by the address text and run no functions, sometimes it will act correctly.
The same behavior happens when inputting "Debug" as well.
The back end is set up correctly, as 2 other stories seem to be working perfectly fine.
Both of these stories were working fine earlier today, I have made no changes to the wit stories themselves and no change to the back-end has even touched the debug function.
Is this a known issue?

I encountered this problem as well.
It appears to me as when you do not handle setting context variables in the story from wit.ai correctly (by setting them to null for example), it messes up the story. As a developer it is your own responsability to handle the story correctly "client side", so I can understand wit.ai lets weird stuff happen when you do not do this. Maybe wit.ai decided to jump stories to keep their bot from crashing, still remains a bit mysterious to me. Maybe your problem is of a different kind, just sharing a similair observation and my solution.
Exactly for reasons of testing I created three stories;
handle greetings
tell what the weather in city x is
identify when you want to plan a meeting
The bot is connected to facebook and I handle actions (like planning a meeting) on my nodejs express server.
I said to the bot "I want to plan a meeting tomorrow", resulting in a wit date/time. One timeslot by the way. This is going ok. Then I sent the message "I want to plan a meeting this morning". This resulted in TWO date/time variables in the wit.ai context. In turn, my code could not handle this; two timestamps resulted in null (probably json message getting more complicated and I try to get the wrong field). This in turn resulted in null for the context variable that had to be returned.
So what I did is to catch the error for when the context variable is not filled and just fill in [wit.js could not find date]. This fixed the problem, even though I now of course need to handle this error better.
Old code:
'createAppointment': ({sessionId, context, text, entities}) => {
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
const myDateTime = firstEntityValue(entities, 'datetime');
console.log('the time trying to send ',myDateTime);
createAppointment(context, myDateTime)
context.appointmentText = myDateTime
return resolve(context);
},}
New, working code:
'createAppointment': ({sessionId, context, text, entities}) => {
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
const myDateTime = firstEntityValue(entities, 'datetime');
console.log('the time trying to send ',myDateTime);
if(myDateTime){
createAppointment(context, myDateTime)
context.appointmentText = myDateTime
return resolve(context);
} else {
context.appointmentText = '[wit.js could not find date]'
return resolve(context);
}
});
},
Hope this helps

I am trying to use Yodlee/executeUserSearchRequest as a RESTful request and need an answer on how to call

I am working with the Yodlee services in c# and using the RESTful api. So far I have successfully connected and logged in with my CobrandSession and UserSessionToken in the development environment. I used the sample apps provided in c# and with some advice from shreyans i got an app working. What I got working was
1) Get YodleeAuthentication
2) Get UserAuthentication
3) Get ItemSummaries
I am now trying to get the full transaction details for each of the Items (i.e. collections of accounts that are an Item)
reading the Docs here https://developer.yodlee.com/Indy_FinApp/Aggregation_Services_Guide/REST_API_Reference/executeUserSearchRequest it states that I need to call executeUserSearchRequest and then paginate through the results using the getUserTransactions. So I am stuck at this point. I dont really want a search which has parameters I just want ALL transactions for this account that I can see.
However, I am using the variables as defined in that page :-
var request = new RestRequest("/jsonsdk/TransactionSearchService/executeUserSearchRequest", Method.POST);
request.AddParameter("cobSessionToken", param.CobSessionToken);
request.AddParameter("userSessionToken", param.UserSessionToken);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.containerType", param.ContainerType);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.higherFetchLimit", param.HigherFetchLimit);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.lowerFetchLimit", param.LowerFetchLimit);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.resultRange.endNumber", param.EndNumber);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.resultRange.startNumber", param.StartNumber);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.currencyCode", param.CurrencyCode);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.postDateRange.fromDate", param.FromDate);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.postDateRange.toDate", param.ToDate);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.transactionSplitType.splitType", param.SplitType);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.ignoreUserInput", param.IgnoreUserInput);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.itemAcctId", param.ItemAcctId);
var response = RestClientUtil.GetBase().Execute(request);
var content = response.Content;
return new YodleeServiceResultDto(content);
As per the response from shreyans in this posting Getting Error "Any one of [**] of transactionSearchFilter cannot be NULL OR Invalid Values I am not putting in the ClientId and the ClientName
The documentation doesn't specify the format of the dates but the example seems to tell me that its american date format. And specifies a parameter saying IgnoreUserinput, but doesnt have a parameter for user input so this is confusing
When I make a call using this format I get an error response
var getSearchResult = yodleeExecuteUserSearchRequest.Go(yodleeExecuteUserSearchRequestDto);
getSearchResult.Result="
{"errorOccured":"true","exceptionType":"Exception Occured","refrenceCode":"_60ecb1d7-a4c4-4914-b3cd-49182518ca5d"}"
But I get no error message in this and I have no idea what I have done wrong or where to look up this error, can somebody who has used Yodlee REST Api point me in the right direction as I need to get this researched quickly....
thanks your your help, advice, corrections and pointers....

Here is the list of parameters which you can try
1) For a specific ItemAccountId all transactions
transactionSearchRequest.containerType=all

Why does Stripe.com return error (402) Payment Required?

I'm not seeing this particular error described in stripes API anywhere. Anyone know what's going on?
Here is my VB.net code to create a customer:
Function CreateStripeCustomer(ByVal Token As String) As String
'' The Stripe Account API Token - change this for testing
Dim STR_Stripe_API_Token As String = "sk_test_SECRET_TEST_KEY" '<-- test secret key. Change to live later.
''The Stripe API URL
Dim STR_Stripe_API_URL As String = "https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers"
''Creates a Web Client
Dim OBJ_Webclient As New System.Net.WebClient()
''Creates Credentials
Dim OBJ_Credentials As New System.Net.NetworkCredential(STR_Stripe_API_Token, "MY_STRIPE.COM_PASSWORD")
''Sets the Credentials on the Web Client
OBJ_Webclient.Credentials = OBJ_Credentials
''Creates a Transaction with Data that Will be Sent to Stripe
Dim OBJ_Transaction As New System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection()
OBJ_Transaction.Add("email", "PERFECTLY_VALID_EMAIL")
OBJ_Transaction.Add("card", "PERFECTLY VALID TOKEN RETURNED BY STRIPE.JS")
''The Stripe Response String
Dim STR_Response As String = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(OBJ_Webclient.UploadValues(STR_Stripe_API_URL, OBJ_Transaction))
Return STR_Response
End Function
The 402 "payment required" error is happening on the line:
Dim STR_Response As String = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(OBJ_Webclient.UploadValues(STR_Stripe_API_URL, OBJ_Transaction))

If you're seeing this in live, it's also possible the card number is simply incorrect, eg: if you inspect the body of the 402 response:

Well, I switched to my "LIVE" keys instead of my "TEST" keys, and that fixed it. Just wasted 3 hours of my life trying to fix this. Hope this helps somebody else.

The more correct answer is that you need to use the appropriate test card numbers. See https://stripe.com/docs/testing

Stripe provides a test environment in which you use the test publishable/secret keys, as oppose to waiting till production. However, what seems like the down side, which is in fact very helpful is that you need to comply to Stripe's testing conditions and use their given card numbers and inputs to test different aspects of your api call.
For example, in order to receive certain errors you can input these numbers:
card_declined: Use this special card number - 4000000000000002.
incorrect_number: Use a number that fails the Luhn check, e.g. 4242424242424241.
invalid_expiry_month: Use an invalid month e.g. 13.
invalid_expiry_year: Use a year in the past e.g. 1970.
invalid_cvc: Use a two digit number e.g. 99.
For more information refer to the link that Samir posted.

For iOS
If you are following tutorial from Ray Wunderlich website the reason why error may appear is that you run your test back end (web.rb file) and after that add you TEST_SECRET_KEY.
Go to the terminal click control+C, make sure you have already added your TEST_SECRET_KEY, save file and do ruby web.rb.
For now, everything should work fine.
For reference, I used this number of the card for testing: 4242 4242 4242 4242
