I'm trying to connect a Shopify store to Chimpified (Mailchimp for Shopify). When the auth flow reaches this particular url: https://login.mailchimp.com/oauth2/authorize I get this warning.
"We're sorry, but something went wrong."
https://chimpified.com/auth/mailchimp/callback?code=
My client just gave me access to his Shopify store and I'm not able to figure out where the problem is.
Maybe because it's getting dropped by Shopify:
"The Mailchimp for Shopify app is going away on May 12. We recommend connecting your Mailchimp account to your Shopify store via a third-party integration or using a workaround. Learn more about these changes"
Honestly, it's a real pain. I mean Anielas.com site has been using Shopify/Mailchimp for years quite happily then that happens :(
Time to find a workaround me thinks ...

Bots are amazing, unless you're Google Analytics
After many months of learning to host my own Discord bot, I finally figured it out! I now have a node server running on my localhost that sends and receives data from my Discord server; it works great. I can do all kinds of the things I want to with my Discord bot.
Given that I work with analytics everyday, one project I want to figure out is how to send data to Google Analytics (specifically GA4) from this node server.
NOTE: I have had success in sending data to my Universal Analytics property. However, as awesome as that was to finally see pageviews coming into, it was equally heartbreaking to recall that Google will be getting rid of Universal Analytics in July of this year.
I have tried the following options:
GET/POST requests to the collect endpoint
This option presented itself as impossible from the get-go. In order to send a request to the collection endpoint, a client_id must be sent along with the request itself. And this client_id is something that must be generated using Google's client id algorithm. So, I can't just make one up.
If you consider this option possible, please let me know why.
Install googleapis npm package
At first, I thought I could just install the googleapis package and be ready to go, but that idea fell on its face immediately too. With this package, I can't send data to GA, I can only read with it.
Find and install a GTM npm package
There are GTM npm packages out there, but I quickly found out that they all require there to be a window object, which is something my node server would not have because it isn't a browser.
How I did this for Universal Analytics
My biggest goal is to do this without using Python, Java, C++ or any other low level languages. Because, that route would require me to learn new languages. Surely it's possible with NodeJS alone... no?
I eventually stumbled upon the idea of actually hosting a webpage as some sort of pseudo-proxy that would send data from the page to GA when accessed by something like a page scraper. It was simple. I created an HTML file that has Google Tag Manager installed on it, and all I had to do was use the puppeteer npm package.
It isn't perfect, but it works and I can use Google Tag Manager to handle and manipulate input, which is wonderful.
Unfortunately, this same method will not work for GA4 because GA4 automatically excludes all identified bot traffic automatically, and there is no way to turn that setting off. It is a very useful feature for GA4, giving it quite a bit more integrity than UA, and I'm not trying to get around that fact, but it is now the Bane of my entire goal.

Where to go from here?
I'm nearly at the end of my wits on figuring this one out. So, either an npm package exists out there that I haven't found yet, or this is a futile project.
Does anyone have any experience in sending data from NodeJS to GA4? (or even GTM?) How did you do it?
...and this client_id is something that must be generated using Google's client id algorithm. So, I can't just make one up...
Why, of course you can. GA4 generates it pretty much the same as UA does. You don't need anything from google to do it.
Besides, instead of mimicking just requests to the collect endpoint, you may just wanna go the MP route right away: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/ga4 The links #dockeryZ gave, work perfectly fine. Maybe try opening them in incognito, or in a different browser? Maybe you have a plugin blocking analytics urls.
Moreover, you don't really need to reinvent the bicycle. Node already has a few packages to send events to GA4, here's one looking good: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ga4-mp?activeTab=readme
Or you can just use gtag directly to send events. I see a lot of people doing it even on the front-end: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ga-gtag Gtag has a whole api not described in there. Here's more on gtag: https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/gtagjs/reference Note how the library allows you to set the client id there.
The only caveat there is that you'll have to track client ids and session ids manually. Shouldn't be too bad though. Oh, and you will have to redefine the concept of a pageview, I guess. Well, the obvious one is whenever people post in the chan that is different from the previous post in a session. Still, this will have to be defined in the code.
Don't worry about google's bot traffic detection. It's really primitive. Just make sure your useragent doesn't scream "bot" in it. Make something better up.
I am developing the shopify app according to the tutorial presented on the page (QR create code), however when I am doing tests, when I uninstall it and try to reinstall it I get the following message:
There is no page at this address
Please check the URL and try again, or use the search bar to find what you need. (Attached in the photo)

If you can help me, thank you very much, I feel that it is as if the authentication failed or I had already used the token, the truth is that I do not know about the subject
My project is in node, react
"#shopify/app": "3.3.3",
"#shopify/cli": "3.3.3"
Thanks
This is a shopify_app bug
You need to delete the previous installation Shop from the database then try the install again and it will work.
If you have only one shop in the database quick solution will be the rails console
rails c
Shop.first.destroy
To resolve it permanently you have to register and handle the app_uninstalled webhook however it will not work 100% of the time due to delay. When the user removes the app the Shopify server trigger webhook with delay (2 seconds to 10 minutes)
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fpanorart-victor3991.c9users.io%2Fauth%2Ffacebook%2Fcallback&scope=emails&client_id=547453695448009
My app is still under development.
It used to work with facebook login. But it suddenly got to the 500 error with the text:
Sorry, something went wrong.
We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.
I thought this might be the facebook internal network error but the issue had been on for almost a month.
Does anyone have some idea why it's happening?
I'm also using google oauth with similar logic and it's working fine.
For me it was the scope passed via passport that was incorrect. I used the google scope which was profile and email, whereas facebook required publish_actions. Hope this helps
I'm developing an api server in (NodeJs/ hapi) coupled with an android application.
I'm having a problem understanding how to do login via a third party like google and facebook.
So far my strategy is:
authorize my app(android)
get the email and other data from google/facebook(android)
Send email and data to my server and save it in a database(server)
Next time when authentication. I'll just check the same data(from google) against the save data(my server).
I'm pretty sure there is a better way to do it, but the documentation I have read so far leave me with a head ache.
Help is appreciated.
I just setup a demo project using ExpressJS.
It would be interesting to have a fork for Hapi.

I have been using Foursquare Explore API endpoint since I have started developing an application. But recently it seems to be broken. It keeps on giving me following response
warning: {
text: "There aren't a lot of results near you. Try something more general, reset your filters, or expand the search area."
}
I am trying to get the response from the following HTTP URL -
https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/explore?ll=40.7,-74&v=20121124
(adding my credentials to the above URL)
the issue has been noticed couple days ago on this page
Foursquare venues/explore returning empty data set
I'd really like foursquare to keep us informed, because we can't rely on their API if no information about what's going on is provided :(
This bug has been fixed, all queries should be working now. Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.
