I'm building an app where I want users to be able click a link to open up CashApp (as well as various other P2P payment apps), as far along in the transaction as possible. My client doesn't want the app to actually handle the payments, just for it to forward along to a place to make the payment.
So, for example, I can go to venmo.com/username to open the Venmo app to a certain user's profile, which is basically enough for me. (anyone know how to include an amount or message in the url?)
But cash.app/username goes to a webpage that directs me to the App Store get the app, and doesn't even open the app on my phone if it's already downloaded.
Anyone know how to do this?
This is actually quite simple with a universal link:
https://cash.app/$username/amount
The following example will open a cash app payment of $12.50 for the user with username 'helloworld':
https://cash.app/$helloworld/12.50
To pass info to Venmo app you can use:
venmo://paycharge?txn=pay&recipients=someone&amount=9.99¬e=For%20Things
This is the url format for Venmo deeplinking:
https://venmo.com/<USER_NAME_1>,<USER_NAME_2>...?txn=<charge|pay>¬e=<NOTE>&amount=<AMOUNT>
You can read more about the url format for Venmo Deeplinking here.

I also used the same format but instead of app I used me:
https://cash.me/$username/5.00/
And when i click on the button with the as anchored:
"href="https://cash.me/$username/5.00/">"
The phone with the APP opens the payment of $5.00 with the username and the person just needs to hit send.
At this time, the ability to integrate with Cash app or accept or send Square Cash payments aren't currently available for Square’s API.

Dears, I'm now working on a project that requires me to scrape the public linked-in profiles to get some info like email, name, company, title, photo (some basic information)
I write it with NodeJS, using Puppeteer and library called scrapedin
This library requires me to log in to LinkedIn with e-mail and password, I created a dummy linked-in account to use it for this library, it worked fine in localhost, but once I uploaded it to the server I should use cookies to login
and here is the problem, after maybe 30 min linked-in restricted the account and I can't use it anymore!
How could I solve this problem
Is there another library for linked-in scraping I can use?
Thank you.
LinkedIn likely restricted your account because they don't want bot activity on their website. You could try to make your script act more human, for example by inserting random wait times between actions using setTimeout(). It could also help to spend some time creating a new human-like dummy account that is less easy to detect as a bot, for example by uploading a profile picture and writing some text.
You could also make the script do some human actions like pressing random like buttons between the scrape actions.
I'm using HeroCard with Microsoft BotBuilder and it works fine.
Now, I'm also using SignIn Card but I don't understand how it works compared to HeroCard. Messenger display a card with a text and a button. Clicking on the button will open the associated URL.
According to this question it's only the UI
Bot Framework - Sign-In Card, how get auth result
Any NodeJS sample to implement a Sign-In callback ?
I thought it would use at least WebViews ?
Regarding your question about Node and Sign-in, take a look to the Node AuthBot version. There you will find the documentation and how to start with the package.
Check this out.
That's an example to link your customers accounts to your bot. The best solution for messenger channel. And it is easy to implement.
HeroCard and SignInCard are two different types of cards.
Hero card is more likely if you want to show some data. You may use this if you want to show one single large picture with buttons(options).
In Bot Framework docs you can find more cards.
I was tasked to develop a web application that has an instagram module in it. The module is supposed to do the following:
1. Display the logged in user timeline
2. Allow user to like and unlike a photo
3. Allow user to comment on a photo
My question is: will the app get approved upon submission or will it be rejected because it replicates original features?
Thanks
There is no API to get user timeline any more, it was deprecated June 1, 2016.
You probably wont get approval since you can do the same on instagram.com, why dont you just use that?
If your app is doing something significant that cannot be done with Instagram app, then there is a chance you will get approved
I was using the following api to get the latest 3 posts from public accounts to show on the website:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/media/recent/?client_id={client-id}&count=3
I had created an app to get the client-id.
However from today, this API has started throwing the following exception:
{
meta: {
error_type: "OAuthAccessTokenException",
code: 400,
error_message: "The access_token provided is invalid."
}
}
Could you please let me know as how to resolve this?
Based on the date, you probably have an older app that got hit by the API migration today, like mine. In short, Instagram decided to make developing for their platform WAY more annoying by requiring all API requests to be authenticated per user, even for data that users shares publicly. So you (like me) will likely be redesigning you app entirely.
To tell, log in to instagram.com/developer and click manage clients; then hit edit next to the set of keys your're trying to use. Up near the top, it will have a section called 'Client Status' -- if yours reads 'Sandbox Mode', fun times ahead! Hopefully you interact with less than 10 users and can stay in sandbox mode, otherwise you'll have to write an essay, film a video, and basically plead to get your permissions back (probably in a few months, when some Instagram intern finally digs his way down to you in the pile of applications). If it reads something eles, you've got another problem altogether and should thank your lucky stars.
In the meantime, I guess I'll get back to sending out dozens of emails to the maintainers of our many, many affiliated Instagram accounts to explain the issue and try to get permissions, so provided we get approved by then, all our social media displays aren't broken during a huge event Saturday. Another option might be to use the OAuth-less json response available here, but that might break terms of service.
I have a solution to this. If you are using the same code I am, which appears likely. I was pulling the last two images using this.
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/media/recent/?client_id={client-id}&count=3
What I did to get this working is the following.
Login to your Instragram account you are using as the application.
Go to the developer (API) area. https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/
Manage clients. Make sure your website URL is the same as your valid redirect URL.
Add new Sandbox User. Put in the account of the IG photos you want to reach.
Hit this URL: https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=CLIENTID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI&response_type=token where the client ID is the same one you used in your previous app above.
You should get back and access token URL. Copy your access token.
Login as your account that you want the IG photos of. The account you added as a sandbox user and go to developer and approve the Sandbox Invites.
Change your original URL above from https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/media/recent/?client_id={client-id}&count=3 to https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN with your access token.
This is the IG API Media endpoint documentation: https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/users/
After that, it all worked for me and while you are in the sandbox, you should be able to pull the last 3 photos or at this point, figure out how to read the JSON to do so.
Has your app been approved after the June 1st Instagram platform changes?
http://developers.instagram.com/post/145262544121/instagram-platform-update-effective-june-1-2016
If you want to retrieve the user media file then try this, It's working for me
https://graph.instagram.com/me/media?fields=id,caption,media_url,media_type&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
For some reason the token is no more valid. Request it again.
Possible reasons why a token is no more valid:
changed password
verified the account
logged-in from a different country
I have very little reputation points so I cannod add a comment in this similar question.
But I need an explanation as the code is working in a different way as expected.
I would like to have a link on my website where the user can click on the whatsapp link and start the conversation with the contact.
The code I add is this:
href="intent://send/0123456789#Intent;scheme=smsto;package=com.whatsapp;action=android.intent.action.SENDTO;end
where 0123456789 were substituted with a real number subscribed to whatsapp.
But it seems working only with my contact. If I have a new number it will not work and will tell me that the contact number is not connected to whatsapp (even if it is).
How can I solve this problem?
Once this first problem is solved, I'd like to add some preformatted text to the message like: message sent from website xyz. What code should I add?
This like of code is working for Android, I need it also for iPhone, what should I use?
This other code is working on Android and on iPhone, but it doesn't allow me to add a custom contact number:
whatsapp
abid can be only an ID from a contact already saved in you phone, otherwise it will open the contact selection page in whatsapp
Please, don't share links without explanation of the content as I'm not a developer, I'm just trying to do my best following instructions of people with more knowledge.
Thank you.
As long as your explanation describes you are looking for a user to be able to Click in order to open a Chat with a specific Whatsapp active user.
Nowadays Whatsapp has emitted an API to specifically solve this needs, it's called 'Click to Chat' API and must work on all devices:
https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/general/26000030
Also, the scheme for the link you were using seems to be working correctly nowadays when used like this:
whatsapp://send?text=MESSAGE&phone=+NUMBER&abid=+NUMBER
