Delete photos via the Foursquare API? - foursquare

Is it possible to delete photos via the Foursquare API? I don't see any mention of it at https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/, nor did a wild guess of /v2/photos/delete/photoID do anything.
I also didn't see any way to do this (or even see my photos) via the web. It would be nice if there was a way to do this so as to avoid cluttering venues + checkins with photos while in development/testing. Hoping I just missed it.
Thanks!

There's no way to do it on the web at the moment, but you can definitely delete photos from the mobile client (long-press on Android, swipe left on iOS).
The delete photo API endpoint is not publicly available because we haven't built the ability to "undo" deletes yet and don't want apps accidentally (and permantently) deleting a user's photos.

Instagram API: Downloading images linked to a hashtag

My team needs to download images linked to a hashtag on Instagram. However, it seems that this is not allowed via the Instagram API as the user that posted the image needs to give permission first. This is not a good user experience for the app that needs to be built. Does anyone know of an alternative way to get around this?

Instagram API / Submission Review / Issue with Video Screencast shared on public network

We would like to use the Instagram API to harvest comments from a Brand page into a CRM Solution.
From this CRM Solution, agents will consult and possibly reply to Instagram Posts.
I think the most appropriate use case for what we plan to do is this one:
"My product helps brands and advertisers understand, manage their audience and media rights"
Here my question:
During the submission review, we need to join a Video Screencast of our project.
This part is really annoying for us as:
We don't want to share on a public platform (like youtube) the details of our project and CRM solution
Is there any workaround to this ?
You don't need to "join" video screencast, you need to submit a video of product functionality (use quicktime screen record), upload the video on google drive and share the link, only instagram will be seeing it, only the people u send link will be able to get to the video, it will not be public when sharing from Google Drive, there are varrious settings while sharing. You need to show login flow and all API functionality of app. This worked for me. The usecase looks correct for your app.

How to like/follow on Instagram without using their API

Recently Instagram changed their API's policy, which means you can no longer like/follow/unfollow using their API unless you are approved by Instagram to do so.
I own the website http://instapromobiz.com which uses JavaScript and PhP to automate likes/follows/unfollows using Instagram's API. This was doing great until Instagram made this update and I can no longer perform these actions.
My question is, is there any way to perform these actions without using Instagram's API? Sites like http://instagress.com are still working so there must be another way to perform these actions without using their API.
Does anybody have any suggestions that might point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
You should submit your app for review. They usually answer quickly.
Go to Manage Clients (https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/), then click on Edit button of your App. Your submission can be made over Permissions tab.
But, unfortunatelly, it's probably Instagram won't authorize an app that do like/ follow automatically. They want to ensure an authentic and consistent experience for the Instagram Community, so those actions should be manual. Good luck.

Can I get data on currently played tracks in a certain area through Spotify API

I've been looking through the API support section of the Spotify website for any way to see what everyone in, for instance, Amsterdam is listening to right now.
I did find this web app that appears to do exactly that but it's from Spotify itself and I'm not sure if all developers can have access to the same data.
If anyone could point me in the right direction (even if it is letting me know it's impossible) that would be fantastic!
That is a Spotify's project using data that is not currently exposed through Spotify APIs.
The closest you can find is the Charts API which can provide you with daily top charts by country.

looking for a Webservice which can provide local store contact information and websites

Guy,
I am in need for a functionality which can take Zipcode as an input and find all the departmental stores in that area and grabs their contact information from the web. This is sort of like a webcrowler but I dont want to make it that complicated. Any ideas of how I can go on doing this ?
Is there any web service out there which can provide me this like yellow pages or something. Google API and Mappoint api wont be effective.
Thanks
Try the google maps api and local search.
Try using store locator in google maps API website..
