I am trying to create an html object dynamically with the necessary header information depending on the query string in the link I provide to Facebook. I am hoping that Facebook open graph will call this html link as I provided. However it seems that query string info are not getting passed to my server. Do anyone know how to make this work or what is the more appropriate way to do this. BTW, I am writing my code in Node.js.
To get more info about Facebook open graph api, look here, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/beta/opengraph/actions/.
For example, the link I am trying to pass to Facebook is, "http://xxx-url.com/getFacebookObject?objectId=&description=first dynamic post", so I sent a request with the link as, "https://graph.facebook.com/me/app-name:action-name?object=http://xxx-url.com/getFacebookObject?objectId=&description=first dynamic post". However, when I check the log on the server, I don't see anything in the query string.
Instead of using the query string, you can embed the data in the URL:
http://some-domain.com/getFacebookObject/id/description
Then, depending on what node.js packages you're using, extract the data from the request:
// expess.js style
app.get("/getFacebookObject/:id/:description", function(req, res) {
var id = req.params.id,
desc = req.params.description;
// your code...
});
(See http://expressjs.com/guide.html.)
Sorry, Facebook will strip off all query string information from the URL when they launch your site in the iframe. If it was a page tab app, then you could add it to the app_data query string parameters which in turn gets passed to your iframe's page tab app via the app_data part of the signed_request parameter.

I am using Google Form API to create a sample project to create, update & get responses to a form.
I am using the following documentation for reference and understanding:
https://developers.google.com/forms/api/reference/rest/v1/forms.responses
It mentions that a single response body (using response ID) includes the respondent email, but each time I trigger the API, the respondent email is undefined and hence does not get returned in the response body.
What am I doing wrong?
Please note I am not using the Apps Script. I am using the API in a node.js project.
Thank you
I'm trying to display an Instagram feed on my website. I am not familiar with server side scripts. The explanations I have read go over my head.
I have managed to get an access key through Instagram but I don't know how to proceed.
I also tried the instructions from a video "How to implement an Instagram Feed in PHP without using the Instagram API"
For that, my php file works, displays the feed but I don't understand how to make it appear on my html page.
I'd be happy to make either method work.
In your HTML you should include a JavaScript 'script' element where you do something called an AJAX Request. The request will access the PHP file that produces the Instagram feed. ECHO the result from the PHP file and it will be returned into the DATA variable in the AJAX request. The request looks roughly like this:
$.ajax({
method: ‘POST or GET, most likely POST’,
url: ‘not always an actual url, this is the path to your PHP file’,
success: function(data) {
//php file returns into variable ‘data’
//display the feed within this function
}
});
The result from the PHP file should be echo’d back in JSON notation, if it isn’t, just add this to end of PHP the file:
$whatever = json_encode($your_result);
echo $whatever; //this is still the feed, just encoded in JSON
And if you need to decode it for some reason, just do
json_decode($variable_to_decode);
There are other parameters you can use in the AJAX request, like if for instance you need access to certain variables in your PHP file, that currently only exist in your HTML document.
this was solved by saving the html as php. i don't know why that is but it worked
I am working with a form system very similar to WUFOO that allows me to send data to an external website using WebHooks.
I have been able to connect my form to my ASANA system through Zapier but I cannot seem to get the API system to operate correctly. Can someone please advise or assist me on what I am doing incorrectly here?
In the screenshot note the following:
- Web URL functions for any web URL (https or http)
- HTTP method has POST, PUT, or GET options
- Data format allows me to input virtually anything so I can match up form fields with any necessary names for ASANA.
I simply cannot get the system to connect to ASANA. Please help me.
Screen shot of WebHook Options
I don't have access to your exact form builder but assuming it does what it says it is doing you can try the following. I'll use creating a task as an example.
Create a personal access token in Asana. To do this log in to Asana, click the icon in the top right corner and open "My profile settings". Go to the apps tab and create a personal access token. You will only ever see this token once so create a new one if you lose it. Also retrieve your workspace id, you can get it by opening app.asana.com/api/1.0/workspaces while logged in.
Now back to your form. For the website url place the specific endpoint you want to hit at Asana. For example, lets create a new task:
https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/tasks
Under the HTTP Method you want to select POST
Under the HTTP Headers you want to specify something like (replace 0/1234abcd with your access token):
{
"Authorization": "Bearer 0/1234abcd",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
You can use Send Raw Data and specify something like the following in the raw data section (replace 1234 with your workspace id):
{
"data": {
"workspace": 1234,
"name": "The name of the task"
}
}
You can of course add other fields- please see the API reference for more information:
https://asana.com/developers/api-reference/tasks
Let me know if that works for you.
So let's say I have a full url into a sharepoint website.
In the past when I wanted to get the weburl and doc url, I used the "url to web url" method of the Front Page Server Extensions. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms460544.aspx).
So for example if you had a site at
http://webapp/site1/chidsite/a.doc
I want a method in CSOM that will return /site1/childsite as the weburl.
I see the Web.WebUrlFromPageUrlDirect() method in CSOM but I'm not sure I'm getting what I need back from it. In the Uri class I get back, would I use teh "AbsolutePath" property for the weburl?
What is the correct way to do this?
I also would like to get the docURL that is usually retrieved by a call to url to web url via frontpage extensions.
The fileurl will be the file location relative to the web site. So if the document is stored in the document library called "Documents", you will get a value of /Documents/file.ext.
Well, I've reverted to using the FrontPage extensions when doing URLToWebURL since I just wasn't sure what I was getting using CSOM methods. Though check the link below for answers I received elsewhere.
Information Pertaining to this issue
I have spent few hours on signing in to web site by using jsoup. But it always gives same login page. To clarify the issue I tried with facebook site. It also gives same result.
Below I mentioned my code
String url ="http://www.facebook.com/";
Document doc;
doc = Jsoup.connect(url)
.data("email","abc#gmail.com","pass","xyz")
.userAgent("Mozilla").post();
System.out.println(doc);
can anybody point me where I made a mistake and how can i fix this issue?
In data portion "email" and "pass" are input field id of facebook login page.
Thank you.
Try this:
String url ="http://www.facebook.com/";
Document doc;
doc = Jsoup.connect(url)
.data("email","abc#gmail.com")
.data("pass","xyz")
.userAgent("Mozilla")
.post();
Anyway, Jsoup is not bad at all, you only need how to use it properly, but also you need to keep in mind that Facebook is expecting a lot more parameters to make a successfull login via POST emulating a web page navigation.
By example:
charset_test
default_persistent
lgnjs
lgnrnd
locale
lsd
pass
persistent
timezone
If you need to authenticate and get proper data I suggest that you must give a try to a Facebook SDK for Android:
