So I am using the twitter node module and twitters rest api to fetch timelines.
All works well, except that attached images do not get sent with the response.
Even after I added "include_entities: true" to the options object.
I'm talking about an image directly attached to a twitter post, links get displayed just fine.
I simply can't find a way to get it to display, any help is appreciated.
Every tweet has a Media Entity attached to it. You need to find the Media Id and then get the URL from -mediaURL. The below picture shows the full object model.

I need to get media from connected instagram profile by hashtag. For most part, I was successful, however I stumbled upon a few limitation I cannot find workaround for.
When I fetch media on IG user, I can send username as a field and get it back. However, I cannot get username on IG hashtag, it is not listed as field in documentation, and throws error if I send one.
I don't want to get back albums on IG hashtag, just image and video, but I can't seem to find a way to filter by type
What is interesting, I found an example of site that displays username when filtering by hashtag, but the only way I could think of achiving this is to send request for media details for each media I receive. Needless to say, I want to avoid it.
Has anyone had a similar problem and solved it?
I'm trying implement Imgur API, but facing with problem. Data models present in https://api.imgur.com/models have wrong optional/non-optional attributes.
I know, that Imgur API has new docs at https://apidocs.imgur.com , but links on Response Models follow to old docs.
For example: Image model
Seems like that title field is non-null, but it can be equal null in a response. Is this object invalid? Should I reject this object?
When I arrive at the link above, I get a notification to go the new documentation site # http://apidoscs.imgur.com.
Are you perhaps viewing the old site?
I'd like to be able to post link posts on a blog exactly the same way as if you were to go on the regular user interface and choose a "link" post and paste in a URL. It automatically grabs the image, sizes it, sets the title and a body/caption.
How do I go about doing this with the tumblr.js api wrapper?
I already have the API working so I do not need to know how to connect/post link articles. I am specifically interested in being able to add link posts that look/work exactly like the link posts you make as a regular user on their web interface. Using the API to do a link post just throws in the title. Using a photo post doesn't allow you to do a separate title/body. I'd love it to look like it does on the website when you paste in a link post and have the tumblr api/feed return it the same way too.
I got a response via github issues that explains that what I was attempting to accomplish is not available via the API. It can only be done using a tumblr client.

The tool I'm building needs pull data from IBM Connections Ideation Blogs. I therefore use the Connections API with basic authentication to read Blog Entries. This goes well until the description contains images. When I ask the API to provide media resources for the blog, it does not show any entries of the /BLOGS_UPLOADED_IMAGES location - the one containing images uploaded through the blog's richtext editor. The user I use in my API call is the same user who created blog entries and uploaded pictures.
However the API call DOES contain images I publish using the API and a POST request to the blog's media entry collection. This is where the next problem appears. Those Atom entries for images contain various links, one of them with a ref="enclosure", of which the API documentation (link) tells me to "Use the web address in the href attribute to obtain the binary content of the file". However, my calls to this adress are always answered with 404 response code.
Another url in the Atom entry (this time of the element) is described by the same documentation (see link above) as: "Provides access the document's media. The following operation is supported: GET: Use the web address to obtain the media." When I make a call to this url, as always with basic authentication credentials attached, the response contains the html of the login form of Connections, so API authentication does not seem to be supported on this url. This is only the case for non-public communities, which require authentication, of course, if the picture is publicly availabe all works just fine.
Am I missing something out? Is there another way to retrieve the actual image from a blog's media entry through the API? Are manually uploaded pictures never contained in the media entries result or is this a bug?
It now magically works using the link with ref="enclosure" from the atom entry. I might have gotten something wrong with authentication I guess (although I'm not actually realizing what I'm doing different now than I did before).
Problem remaining: Pictures uploaded through the rich-text editor in the folder /BLOGS_UPLOADED_IMAGES do not appear in the media feed of the blog.
Im trying to display in my website photos froma photoset I have in Flickr. In the documentation says:
You can construct the source URL to a photo once you know its ID, server ID, farm ID and secret, as returned by many API methods.
But I only know how to get the Photo ID. How can I get the rest of the information?
The simplest API is flickr.photos.search, and you can find the documents from
http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.photos.search.html
And an example output could be found there.
when you get the ouput, a photo could be accessed by
http://farm{farm-id}.staticflickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{secret}.jpg
