I successfully integrated Google Wallet in one app, and now I want integrate it into another. However I can only sent one postback url. Anyone have any approaches to making this work?
Wallet for digital:
Since the postback url is set in your profile, if you must have unique urls, I don't think you can do so without new accounts.
Otherwise, if you can segment based on data (e.g. using the sellerData field), that might be an option...
Hth...

I have developed a chatbot using Microsoft BotFramework and node.js and deployed it in webchat. As per this documentation, it is written that the bot's secret 's' can be replaced with a temporary token 't' which is valid for one conversation only.
But the problem is the life span of this token is 30 minutes and within this time window, if some intruder accesses the entire URL: "https://webchat.botframework.com/embed/YOUR_BOT_ID?t=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE&userid=some_user_id" then it is just a child’s play for him to get all of the user’s data because it mimics the chat of the actual user in the other machine.
Is there anything in the BotFramework (apart from DirectLine) that can be done that restricts the URL with the same token to be opened in another machine?
There is an issue on GH which is facing the same event with you, and with the comments, we can found that this situation will not be changed currently.
However, we can get some hints from the comment:
Ultimately, you can't hide the secret/token from clients.
If you want to remove it from the URL, you can host the JS control on your own.
If you want to remove it from page source, you can pass the value in a cookie >and read it in JS in your webpage.
However, in all cases, the value will be available in memory.
I think you can build another simple web site yourself as the bridge from the iframe and yout bot application. You can restrict your user whether is unique in this website's session. And also you can verify your user before instantiate the Bot WebChat.
I have a use case that Instagram does not seem to acknowledge. I am hoping that someone else has an idea for what I can do.
The website that I am maintaining has been using the API endpoint:
https://www.instagram.com/anyUser/media/
And I am aware that Instagram has recently stopped supporting this endpoint. So I am looking for a replacement.
My use case is that I do not want to allow the users of my website to authenticate and browse their own photos. Instead I want to show only the latest 20 images that "I" (aka my employer) have posted, one at a time in a loop.
Instagram's API documentation seems to be entirely focused on the use case of allowing users to authenticate and share their photos.
Is there an API call that will return the last 20 images that I have posted?
From its specs, the Sandbox will work fine for me, I cannot find a way to register with Instagram that does not require me to build a user authentication work flow that will NEVER be used.
You would want to use self feed endpoint.

https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
In our website, we need to achieve a seemingly simple task: Enable the user to send a specific text to all or some of his/her Gmail contacts (including contact selection).
We don't actually need the contact data itself. We prefer some kind of "Gmail Plugin" (if there is one) that asks the user to login and does all the work. Alas, we couldn't find any.
We did find several different Google APIs related to this task. Some of them seem to give us contacts data. Others seem to handle sending email:
There is "Contacts API" under
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/...
There is "Contacts Service" under
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/contacts/...
There is "Gmail Service" under
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/gmail/...
There is "Gmail Platform Integration" under
https://developers.google.com/gmail/...
Each of the above looks different and there seems to be much overlapping between them.
So what is the recommended method to achieve our original task? Is there a plugin that does it all? If not - should we use separate APIs for getting the contacts data and sending the emails, or are there Google APIs that combine both sub-tasks? In case those are separate tasks - is it possible to email via Gmail, or are there other recommended services for the email sending part?
To directly answer your question: you must use the first API you pointed, Contacts API under https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/.
Basically, you want to use the Google Contacts API with OAuth2 authentication in your website: user will be prompted by Google to allow your website to read user contacts.
First, read a bit about OAuth2 authentication flows here: http://alexbilbie.com/2013/02/a-guide-to-oauth-2-grants/
Second step: register your app on Google Console and get your key/pass for the Contacts API (you'll need contacts.readonly permission): https://console.developers.google.com
Then, as you'll use the OAuth2 for Web Servers, check this Google documentation: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer
Alternatively, you can use third part libraries to easily import contacts to your website. There are free libraries, like PHP OpenInviter.org, Ruby OmniAuth gem, and paid alternatives, like CloudSponge.com (multi-language).
Disclaimer: I work for CloudSponge.com.
You could achieve this as you say with Google APIs and a Chrome Extension for example.
The user can add a Chrome Extension from the Chrome Webstore. The Extension will provide the user with a user interface to allow them to compose their message and send to the selected contacts.
The users contacts can be retrieved with the Google Contacts API.
The message can be sent to the selected contacts with the Gmail API.
There is a lot of documentation and examples for all of the above which together will give you what you want.
Depending on how much use this is going to get, you could use a contextual gadget which is browser agnostic - but visible in all emails in Gmail.
This is wrong the idea is to post the text to buffer a and submit pointer to array on buffet a and copy it to class b pointer a 0 than release the array and buffer so new allocation can be done
I recently just got through the beginning tutorial for creating a web app with the spotify api. https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/tutorial/. The tutorial was great for showing how to authenticate a user with oauth and log in a user.
The problem I am having is with the endpoint. I can't seem to figure out how to change the endpoint so that instead of displaying a users profile, I can see a list of a users track, better yet starred or top 10 tracks.
for a 10,000 view perspective of what I want to build is a app that would allow users to easily log in through their spotify account, take their stared or top tracks and push them to a radio that I am building with an raspberry pi.
I am new to working with the spotify api and working with api's in general so whatever advice would be awesome.
At the moment, there is no way to get the "starred"-playlist. (At least it's not documented)
I don't know what you mean with "Top 10 User tracks", since this doesn't exist as far as I know
To get a list of the account's current playlists, change the URL to:
https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/{user_id}/playlists
With this URL, you will get a list of simple-playlist-objects wrapped inside a paging-object. Now you can select one of the playlists (or loop through them) and fetch its track this way
NOTE:
If you also want to fetch private playlists, make sure you use the scope playlist_read_private
I have a browser extension which is scraping the threadId from the URL when the user is reading an email in Gmail, and is using this threadId to fetch circumstantial data using the Google Apps Script API.
The extension do however not know which of maybe several Google accounts are reading this message; it knows only the URL to my Apps Script webapp and the threadId. So when it executes the fetch, the webapp will the interpret request as coming from the default user session, which in some cases is wrong and will thus result in an null when executing GmailApp.getThreadById(e.parameter.threadId).
So what I am wondering is whether it is possible to specify what Google account to use when querying the webapp. Are there any possibilities other than asking the user to log off all other accounts and set the current one as default?
Unfortunately Google Apps Script does not have good support for multiple logins. See this page for more information.
You can add an authuser parameters to the requests you make to your the Google Apps script.
The authuser param's values are zero based indexes for all the Google accounts that are logged in the current browser session.
Now for extracting what index value you need to send, you can scrape the current page for profiles.google.com links that have authuser param and extract your value from them and send it with your requests.
The link might look like this:
https://profiles.google.com/ ... authuser=0
Specifically for gmail, the url also contains the current authuser index, For example:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#inbox
This URL above contains the authuser value 1 at the end (before the fragment and after /u/)
I know this is very complex and is looks more like a hack. But I think this surely is a workaround, until Google provides a better way to specifying the context for your apps script requests.
I hope this might be helpful.
Thanks.
