My company is using G-suite and I'd like to analyze basic organization structure details like who's my manager? or who do I manage?
Is this possible using the GoogleApis?
Thanks,
Aubrey
You can definitely consult this information, not by using Gmail API, but by using the G Suite Admin SDK.
Particularly, you may be interested in the following endpoints:
Retrieving a user
Retrieving an organizational unit
You may also want to see the Quickstart which will help you set up an application that can retrieve this data. There are many languages supported (you can choose the one you prefer on the left sidebar).
I'm following the guidance from Microsoft on decorating traffic to avoid throttling. This guidance specifies that you set a specific User Agent on outgoing requests from the application to SharePoint via CSOM when making API calls.
I have made this change, and would like to now verify that the User Agent is in fact appropriately modified on API calls to SharePoint.
My provider-hosted application is hosted on Azure, and while I can see CSOM calls to SharePoint (https://(mytenancy).sharepoint.com/sites/(mysite)/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery) in the Application Map as a dependency, I can't figure out how to view the actual outbound request so as to examine it for the User Agent string.
How can I view the User Agent string on outbound requests from my Azure application? How can I verify that I've set the User Agent string on my calls to the SharePoint API?
Additional Info:
I have tried running the application as well on localhost and employed the use of Wireshark and Fiddler, but I'm only picking up requests to client.svc/ProcessQuery with my browser's User Agent string. I get the feeling I'm not even seeing all the CSOM requests.
User Agent is used for determining browser and browser version , however it seems to be dropped in processing and not available in search or export.
Please have a look at below links for further details.
UserAgent not transfered
UserAgent, Lat/Long and URL expansion data removed
Hope this information helps.

I was thinking of retrieving a user's Instagram news feed, however the Instagram API doesn't allow you to do that because some users may be private. However, what if I just used an HTTP connection and logged in as the user then went to the user's 'home' page to get their news feed? I think this would work, but I'm not sure about the legalities behind doing so.

I recently entertained the idea of developing an app that aggregates Instagram data of a small community and displays it in different UI clusters, derived by certain analytics. While the API provides all the required endpoints for my requirements, I started re-inventing the app over and over again, to satisfy the Instagram platform policy, terms and conditions as well as the login permissions for the different scopes.
According to Instagram API documentation there are 3 categories for the scopes of all apps:
To help individuals share their own content with 3rd party apps: basic
This use case is meant for apps that allow the general public to login with Instagram to get their own content; for example, an app that allows people to print their own pictures. Apps that fall into this use case will only have access to the basic permission.
To help brands and advertisers understand and manage their audience and digital media rights: basic, public_content, comments, relationships, likes, follower_list
This use case is meant for products that don't have a public facing login integration, but are gated to brands and advertisers. The product must support either multiple brands and advertisers (e.g. a social media management platform) or multiple users within a single brand or advertiser organisation.
To help broadcasters and publishers discover content, get digital rights to media, and share media with proper attribution: basic, public_content, comments
This use case is meant for products that don't have a public facing login integration, but are gated to broadcasters and publishers. The product must support either multiple broadcasters and publishers, or multiple users within a single broadcasters or publisher organization.
Ideally, my app would benefit as many analytical endpoints as possible, particularly if I can process the list of followers and public content. This means my app should fall under group (2). However, the target community of this app was not consisted of brands and advertisers. Group (3) is also not an option, since my community is consisted of individuals. Then I was thinking that group (1) will fit my needs. But that was also not the case, since according to platform policy, I won't be allowed to put the media in different UI clusters:
You cannot replicate the core user experience of the Instagram apps or web site. For example, do not build a media viewer.
Then I started comparing the use cases with existing live apps. I noticed that if they would carefully follow the terms and conditions, as well as platform policies, they would also be unfit for all rules imposed by Instagram. Let me provide examples:
minter.io (broadcasters == individuals?)
minter.io focuses on Instagram analytics. Thus, it falls in group (2). However, anyone can register on this system, meaning any individual that owns an Instagram account. How is this a valid case when brands and advertisers are not gated? Furthermore, even if those are somehow filtered in some future phase (which they claim they do manually), why is it allowed to generate a report of a "competitor" account, when the ID of that account could be any individual, and not an advertiser?
pikore.com (discover / search function?)
Apart from having the similar issues of minter.io, where everyone can login, I fail to understand how is it possible for pikore.com to provide a "discover" functionality which is exactly what Instagram offers on its mobile apps? Is that not breach of platform policy? Or the fact that it is also able to display all media items of a given account mixed with advertisement? For example: pikore.com/arianagrande. This breaches also other terms stated in General Terms of Platform Policy:
24. Add something unique to the community. Don't use the Instagram APIs to replicate or attempt to replace the functionality or essential user experiences of Instagram.com or any of Instagram's apps.
25. Respect the way Instagram looks and functions. Don't offer experiences that change it.
26. Don't attempt to build an ad network on Instagram.
ElseWatcher (another media viewer?)
I absolutely adore this app. But the fact that the Instagram data is organized by location and date, it seems to me that it's another media viewer with extra functionalities.
socialbakers.com (free social tracker?)
socialbakers.com, while providing an amazing interface, it requests public_content scope for any individual user of instagram.com. On top of that, without providing any mechanism to gate the broadcasters, offers their services as "Free Instagram Analytics Tool".
Maybe I am wrong, but the way I see it, the Instagram API rules, are not applied consistently to all 3rd party apps. Can anyone explain whether those are inconsistencies indeed, or whether I got things the wrong way?
While at it, I would also like to know how is it possible to have the term clause "1. Instagram users own their media (stated here) in conjunction with "17. Don't apply computer vision technology to User Content, without our prior permission" (stated here). Does that mean that if I am an Instagram API user that agrees to these terms, and I perform computer vision on any image that also happens to be on Instagram, that I am breaching terms?

After June 1st all Instagram 3rd party apps should pass a review. The review should contain video screencast with
Provide a link to a video screencast showing the experience in your
app. Please show how your integration uses all permissions you are
requesting, any interface to moderate content or getting rights to
media, and any Instagram login experience. Since your app may be in
sandbox mode, you can use data from sandbox users to showcase the
integration.
I think, Instagram wouldn't have approved any app which violate their rules.
I am working on IBM Connections Cloud. As an administrator, can I get a list of all the Blogs that a particular user might have authored.
Currently I am not seeing the API's exposing user parameters, in the query.
The idea is to get a list all the authors who have written blogs, and their blog details, in an common portal.
Request any advice on the same
