Does their API allow my Facebook-connected user to add a friend?
No. Adding friends is not possible through the API.
However you can direct users to http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=[USER UID]
Where [USER UID] is a valid facebook user id.
Good luck!
I spent a great deal of time looking, and finally came accross a very simple solution.
Using the Facebook Javascript API you can do a friend request with:
<script>
FB.ui(
{
method: 'friends.add',
id: fbid // assuming you set this variable previously...
},
function(param){
console.log(param);
// If they cancel params will show:
// {action:false, ...}
// and if they send the friend request it'll have:
// {action:true, ...}
// and if they closed the pop-up window then:
// param is undefined
}
);
</script>
The callback script can then simply performs an ajax call to your server where
you save info about the action, if needed.
You can test this by using the javascript console app on Facebook:
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/console
Paste in the script above, including the tags, or click the "Examples"
button on the bottom of the text area and find the "fb.ui — friends.add" example.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/friends/
Here is a Wiki list of the API methods available to you http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/API#Administrative_Methods
Doesn't look like you can add friends via the API. Note the iPhone facebook app also doesn't have an add friends function, it was written via the API, so that lends more weight to the idea that you can't

I got callback after share successfully with Facebook and Twitter.
Is it possible with Linkedin and Google Plus?
Google Plus Share :
href="https://plus.google.com/share?url={URL}"
Linkedin Share :
href="http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url={articleUrl}"
Try Linkedin Share widget
Set callback function on onsuccess that fires when share successfully:
<script type="IN/Share+init" data-counter="top" data-url="your share Url" data-onsuccess="tracklinkedin"></script>
On tracklinkedin function:
function tracklinkedin(reponse) {
console.log('linkedin' + reponse);
//do here
}
Google Plus:
<div class="g-plus" data-action="share" data-annotation="top" data-href="your url" data-callback="trackgoogle" ></div>
function trackgoogle(reponse) {
console.log('Google Plus' + reponse.state);
if(reponse.state=='on')
{
$SS.TrackCount('googleplus')
//to do
}}
Just make your own button, with its own callback, and you can ditch the LinkedIn Share Button API SDK, JS Bundle, and inShare plugins. Some of these appear to already be outdated, deprecated, and to have known issues. All you really ought to need is...
https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url={url}
Then you can just make any button, using any HTML, CSS, or JavaScript that you like, and hyperlink it to allow sharing of a page. Since it's just a native button, you can control the callback however you like. And make a callback however you'd like...
HTML...
<a id="link" href="https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url={url}">Share on LinkedIn</a>
JS...
$('#link').click(function(e) { //callback stuff });

Google is probably a similar situation. If you are interested in a regularly maintained github project that keeps track of these URL formats so you don't have to, check it out! Social Share URLs
I'm using woocommerce JSON API to retrieve the data of some products like price, SKU, etc...
The thing is that I get an error using this API. I've installed the plugin succesfully and activated it in the WordPress Dashboard.
I've tried the example given in GitHub exactly as the author says.
Here's my javascript code:
$(document).on('pageinit','#restau' ,function(){
var url = 'http://danielvivancos.com/edu/wordpress/shop/?callback=?';
params = { action: 'woocommerce_json_api', proc:"get_products"};
params.arguments = {token: 1234, per_page: 2, page: 1}
jQuery.getJSON(url,params).done(function (data) {
alert("success");
console.log(data);
console.log(url);
}).error(function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert(jqXHR.responseText);
});
});
At first it didn't do anything, and I didn't understand what was happening but then I added the .error() function and it threw me an error...
Here http://danielvivancos.com/edu/directebre_app_jquerymobile/ you will find the three alerts displayed when you click on any of the three products.
Hope someone can help me or give me some ideas to solve it.
Thank you all!
The API Almost always returns some kind of error string and error code. The one time when it wouldn't would be if there was a PHP error (Even then it tries to catch the error and return something).
One thing you may need to do is to visit the users settings page, setup your permissions, and then save the settings for that API User. Whenever a new method is added to the API you will have to visit this page and resave it.
Another thing to do is to try and run php tests/get_products.php and see what happens. Most of the API functions have a tests file that you can run from the command line to test the API.
Also, while I am very happy you are using it :) it is still unfinished and in the early stages of development.
It looks like your example is working though?
Could you post a bit more about what error you are getting?
When I click on one of the items, it takes me to a page where a popup shows up with a bunch of HTML, this normally means that your API page is not setup properly (if it is making an api request). You will need to setup the API page ( Just create a wordpress page, or use an existing one) Then in the WooCom menu select JSON Api, and set the API page from the dropdown list. Remember to save.
My scenario is as follows:
Our application is building on top of google-plus and takes advantage of the google-plus connections.
Is this supported with Interactive posts? I want to:
Block showing the interactive post dialog on the button click if a certain condition is not met
Perform a certain action once the button to show the dialog is clicked - onClick works for this but I could not find documentation on it.
var options = {
contenturl: url,
clientid: googleappid,
cookiepolicy: "single_host_origin",
prefilltext: text,
calltoactionlabel: "START",
calltoactionurl: ctaurl,
recipients: connectionid,
onClick: specialFunctionToRunOnClick(params)
};
gapi.interactivepost.render('submitInvitationongoogle', options);
Is there something like beforeSend that can prevent the click from firing?
There currently is not an API for testing whether the user has created an interactive post on their stream. You can know when the interactive post was rendered to the user by logging the API calls for gapi.interactivepost.render and can use the call-to-action url for testing when the recipient clicked the button. You can also look at their public stream activity to test whether the post was shared publicly but this is probably not what you want.
I'm using google places and jquery to achieve the goal of once the user starts typing in an input field, it does a call to google places and feeds the results in a dropdown (via jquery ui autocomplete)
My problem is, in my autocomplete function I have
source: function( request, response ) {
initialize()
}
In there, I'm trying to call this function
function initialize() {
service.search(request, callback);
}
Which works fine... but the problem is... initialize does a call out to the function callback()... so I'm not sure how to listen to see when the callback is done.
So for example, what would I do here:
source: function( request, response ) {
// need code here to know when initialize and callback are done and are sending me the list of results from google ?
}
I'm just not sure how to wait for google places to get done, before I use $.map from the results to produce the dropdown.
Timing issues with google apis? I feel your pain. But to sidestep your issue and maybe save you some pain, you could use Google's prebuilt solution:

Apologies if you have some reason to not use their API.
So i've been trying to get FB Connect working on my site, simply for login and authentication, using the Javascript SDK and following the code at:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web/
So the button appears, i click it, a dialog pops up, i click that, presumably my site now has permission to know who i am...
Then what? The guide goes on to saying all the stuff I can access through the Facebook API, all the cool things about permissions, but presumably i need the user's ID or access token or something to get at this stuff. How is that given to me? left as a attribute on one of the elements? Left in a Javascript variable somewhere? Given as an argument to some callback? Thrown high into the heavens for me to receive via satellite downlink?
This is probably incredibly simple, but for the life of me i have not been able to figure it out. Facebook's tutorials have failed me, and so has Google. I want to get this in the Javascript, so I can immediately fill in form-data using the user's Facebook name, put a picture, etc. etc., and presumably send this all back to the server so the server can validate with Facebook that the data is real.
I'm assuming you're using the Login button? https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/login/
If you simply want form info, check out the registration plugin - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/registration/
However, to answer your question, make an API call to /me. For example:
FB.api('/me', function(user) {
if(user != null) {
// The user object now contains info about the logged in user
}
});
You should subscribe to the auth.login event and wrap the above API call in the successful response, i.e.:
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function() {
// JS to run if when the user logs in, for example, the code snippet above
});
