I am using Liabilities in my system, but I need to monitor the debt from time to time. Is it possible to do this monitoring without the user having to log into Plaid again? If so, which endpoint do I need to use?
Yes, you can use the /liabilities/get endpoint to do this. The user only needs to log in to Plaid once, unless something happens to break their Plaid connection.

I am using google smtp to send a lot of mails, but if I send too much mails it will return quota error.
So I want to check my quota anytimes.
But I didn't find any about this.
Is there any way like API to do this?
There is no way to check your quota via an api. You can check google developer console for your project manually but this is an estimate at the very best.
My advice is to keep a running total of the requests you are sending and try to space them out so that you don't hit any of the quotas.
Once you hit a quota error makes sure you stop and take a break for a little while, possibly implementing exponential backoff, but this depends upon which quota you are hitting.
I used the wrong PIN on my account multiple times on the super-app, now its refusing to allow me to reset it. How do I proceed from here?
As a security measure, the account will be blocked for 24hrs and then automatically unblocked. Please avoid continuing to try logging in on that account as you can then be blocked for 7 days. For now, I would suggest that you create a new account and continue with your development work.
I'm trying to figure out how to test with braintree, and I'm running into what feels like a bandwidth error.
response = ::Braintree::Customer.create(payment_method_nonce: Braintree::Test::Nonce::Transactable)
token = response.customer.credit_card.first.token
#so far so good
response = ::Braintree::Transaction.sale(payment_method_token: token, amount: "1.00")
#still good
response = ::Braintree::Transaction.sale(payment_method_token: token, amount: "1.00")
#response is failure
# => Braintree::ErrorResult ... status: "gateway_rejected"
All that takes place without a pause.
If I wait a bit and run the sale line again it works again..
This of course sets up a problem with test scripts. I can moc-out the actual connection to BT, but I'm slightly worried about this. Should I be?
I work at Braintree. If you have more questions, you can always get in touch with our support team.
You can see what gateway_rejected means on the transaction statuses page of the API docs:
Gateway rejected
The gateway rejected the transaction because AVS, CVV, duplicate or fraud checks failed.
Transactions also have a gateway rejection reason, which in this case will be duplicate.
You can find more information about duplicate checking settings in the control panel docs:
Configure duplicate transaction checking
Duplicate transaction checking is enabled by default with a 30-second window in both the sandbox and production environments. These settings can be updated or disabled by users with Account Admin privileges.
Log into the Control Panel
Navigate to Settings > Processing > Duplicate Transaction Checking
Click Edit to adjust the time window or Enable/Disable to turn the feature on/off
Looks like it may be a rate-limit error. Search their help/docs/site about information related to rate limiting so you can know what the limits are and work around them.
However...if you're talking about testing as in automated tests - I would recommend not using external services in your test suite, and mocking out everything. Ideally you want your test suite to be able to run even when the network connection is down and you don't want it slowing down when 3rd party services are slow or when your network is slow.
If you really want to do a full integration test with all your 3rd party services, you can create a special set of tests that do that that are annotated with something like "#external", and then schedule them to run once a week or something just to flag some weird changes or errors.
I am developing a social network in ASP.NET MVC 3. Every user has must have the ability to see connected people.
What is the best way to do this?
I added a flag in the table Contact in my database, and I set it to true when the user logs in and set it to false when he logs out.
But the problem with this solution is when the user closes the browser without logging out, he will still remain connected.
The only way to truly know that a user is currently connected is to maintain some sort of connection between the user and the server. Two options immediately come to mind:
Use javascript to periodically call your server using ajax. You would have a special endpoint on your server that would be used to update a "last connected time" status, and you would have a second endpoint for users to poll to see who is online.
Use a websocket to maintain a persistent connection with your server
Option 1 should be fairly easy to implement. The main thing to keep in mind that this will increase the amount of requests coming into your server, and you will have to plan accordingly in order handle the traffic this could generate. You will have some control over the amount of load on your server by configuring how often javascript timer calls back to your server.
Option 2 could be a little more involved if you did this without library support. Of course there are libraries out there such as SignalR that make this really easy to do. This also has an impact on the performance of your site since each user will be maintaining a persistent connection. The advantage with this approach is that it reduces the need for polling like option 1 does. If you use this approach it would also be very easy to push a message to user A that user B has gone offline.
I guess I should also mention a really easy 3rd option as well. If you feel like your site is pretty interactive, you could just track the last time they made a request to your site. This of course may not give you enough accuracy to determine whether a user is "connected".
I am getting started on Heroku and concerned whether it will charge me for a mistake I do. For example, filling up the database over 5MB.
So, is there a way to set billing limit to an Heroku or notification system to send a notification when I go over the price limit?
Thank You in Advance!
Dont think so. But heroku only bills u if you actually signed up for something, like an addon, that is non free. If you use up 5 megs of database, they would send u an email telling you that you are over the limit, and would simply stop all INSERT operations to the database.
Another thing to note is not to leave heroku console on longer than necessary, since that requires another worker and is billable.
All limits are soft limits. The new row limits imposed on the database plans if exceeded will trigger an email notification for you to take action.
