Can't get any G+ post's resharers with g+ api - google-api

According to this documentation https://developers.google.com/+/web/api/rest/latest/people/listByActivity
g+ api supports thing as "getting resharers of a post"
But i can't get it to work.
This is a post url - https://plus.google.com/u/0/+AseemTejpal/posts/PAcm67KwXaS it's have 22 resharers atm.
My steps (after authorizing and obtaining access token with scopes https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login and
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me):
GET https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/activities/z13hypi4rtjjx5ko404chx4pwzikebbaliw/people/resharers?access_token={my_access_token}
by executing above request i'm getting:
{
"kind": "plus#peopleFeed",
"etag": "\"Sh4n9u6EtD24TM0RmWv7jTXojqc/RL739Eu8qXAJMlvqfIb_fYCs2JA\"",
"title": "Google+ People By Activity: Resharer",
"totalItems": 0,
"items": []
}
for instance, plusoners works fine
GET https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/activities/z13hypi4rtjjx5ko404chx4pwzikebbaliw/people/plusoners?access_token={my_access_token}
result: https://pastebin.com/5khY6cAp
What am i doing wrong? Why resharers request returns 0 results? Do G+ supports obtaining resharers by api at all?
Thanks.

It looks like that has not worked for a while. I doubtful if Google has any plans to fix it anytime soon.

How to pull pubsub metrics from google api

We are using our own logging solution because stackdriver is su...bpar. I want to pull the metrics on how many unacknowledged messages there are in the pubsub. Started to read the docs on that and they are all over the place.
Found this page:
https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/metrics
Despite being under the api it does not describe any api calls, but does contain the description of the metric I want to extract.
Now I am thinking I need to use the monitoring api to extract what I need somehow:
https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/ref_v3/rest/
So I use the api explorer to try a couple of methods:
https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#search/monitoring/monitoring/v3/monitoring.projects.groups.list
I query and gives me an available url:
GET https://monitoring.googleapis.com/v3/projects/myprojectname/groups?key={YOUR_API_KEY}
I go to my project's console (api & credentials page) and generate an api key without restrictions and paste it in trying to curl.
curl https://monitoring.googleapis.com/v3/projects/myproject/groups?key=myrandomkeylkjlkj
{
"error": {
"code": 401,
"message": "Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.",
"status": "UNAUTHENTICATED"
}
}
Why is this happening? How can I get the metrics? I went to the url provided but it explains oauth token creation and has nothing regarding the api keys. I just need to curl things to make sure I am going the right way.
Why does this have to be so hard? Killed several hours of my life trying to get this.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud config config-helper --format='value(credential.access_token)')" https://monitoring.googleapis.com/v3/projects/myproject/groups

Http POST from card in Microsoft Teams

We are trying to create an approval workflow using Teams, Flow, and Assembla and are running into a bit of trouble.
We have a few of the pieces successfully setup however we are unable to initiate a POST action from a card in Teams.
In teams we can successfully create a card using the incoming webhook connector with this result.
This is created with the following JSON body from a POST action in Flow
{
"##type": "MessageCard",
"##context": "http://schema.org/extensions",
"summary": "This is the summary property",
"themeColor": "f46b42",
"sections": [
{
"startGroup": true,
"title": "**Pending Review**",
"activityTitle": "Ticket Title",
"activitySubtitle": "Requested by: ",
"facts": [
{ "name": "Date submitted:", "value": "06/27/2017, 2:44 PM" },
{ "name": "Details:",
"value": "This ticket is ready for review." }
]
},
{
"potentialAction": [
{
"##type": "HttpPOST",
"name": "Approve",
"target": "ANOTHER-POST-URL-IS-HERE"
},
{
"##type": "HttpPOST",
"name": "Deny",
"target": "ANOTHER-POST-URL-IS-HERE"
}
]
}
]
}
We have another Flow url as the target for both buttons on the card. To test this url we are able to successfully post via POSTMAN and continue the approval workflow.
When clicking the button on the Team card the Flow at the post url is in no way notified at all. No run on Flow is triggered. In teams a very generic "There was a problem submitting your changes. Try again in a minute." error is displayed.
After researching I ran across the connectors.md file on the Microsoft Teams github page and noticed this lovely part of the documentation
It seems odd to me that right below them mentioning that POST actions may not be supported the documentation goes on in length to show examples of using POST and ActionCard actions in a card on teams.
So my question is this, is there any way to get an HttpPOST action to work from a custom card in Teams to a Microsoft Flow POST URL?
Thanks!
Update:
Upon further testing we have determined that HttpPOST actions
work with just about any post url we can come up with except
Microsoft Flow Request URLs. They are exceptionally long urls so maybe
that has something to do with it?
Here's an example Flow request url.
https://prod-43.westus.logic.azure.com:443/workflows/f86b928acd3d4ecab849f677974f7816/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?api-version=2016-06-01&sp=%2Ftriggers%2Fmanual%2Frun&sv=1.0&sig=ZBxr5GFKQhMp4JXWGmec_L6aqgcaqvCOKUWOf2li-xQ
When running teams in a web browser we are able to see the request
first posts to a api.teams.skype.com url and returns a generic
"ProviderError". Other non-flow urls also do the same but return
success.
This was a head-scratcher for us - as you surmised, this should have worked. The Teams, Flow, and Outlook teams troubleshooted this today and found out what was going on.
The URL you are posting to, https://prod-43.westus.logic.azure.com[...] has an embedded bearer token (the value of the sig parameter in the URL). When you POST to that URL via CURL, Fiddler, Postman, etc. it works because that token is present.
However, when you click on a HttpPOST button in an actionable message, Outlook adds its own JWT token in the HTTP header, meaning that the HTTP POST has both a sig= bearer token in the URL and a JWT token in the HTTP header. Flow detects this and rejects the HTTP POST as invalid (while we don't currently support JWT tokens, we plan to, and treat this case as invalid to maintain forward compatibility).
This use case will work in the future. In the meantime, one workaround to try would be to have the actionable message buttons POST to your endpoints, e.g. https://yoursite.com/accept and https://yoursite.com/deny (validating the JWT as much as you like) and have these endpoints POST to Flow directly without the JWT.
Please let us know if that works.
BTW, the text you found is a documentation bug that has since been fixed:
Sorry for the confusion.

Google API Explorer and Google Identity Toolkit API not working

I'm trying to explore the Google Identity Toolkit API using the Google API Explorer. The API hints that "No auth required", however when I try to execute a request there is an error message:
This method requires you to be authenticated. You may need to activate the toggle above to authorize your request using OAuth 2.0.
If I try to use the OAuth 2.0 toggle and Authorise the API I get a 400 error:
Error: invalid_request
Missing required parameter: scope
But Google Identity Toolkit API does not declare any scopes.
Please can someone help?
UPDATE:
Further errors I get when using the API Explorer: When trying to execute the getAccountInfo request, I pass a request body with the localId field populated. The response I get is:
400 OK
- Show headers -
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "invalid",
"message": "INVALID_SERVICE_ACCOUNT"
}
],
"code": 400,
"message": "INVALID_SERVICE_ACCOUNT"
}
}
Here is the list of Google API scopes:
https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/googlescopes#oauth2v2
This completely omits Identity Kit.
Tying in a random string into the scopes box produces an error:
I have guessed up that the scope should be https://www.googleapis.com/auth/identitytoolkit by looking at the pattern.
And this scope does not cause an error. So this means it is a valid scope, even though it is undocumented.
That said, I used an API request of:
POST https://www.googleapis.com/identitytoolkit/v3/relyingparty/downloadAccount?fields=kind%2CnextPageToken%2Cusers&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
{
"maxResults": 999
}
And it produced:
200 OK
{
"kind": "identitytoolkit#DownloadAccountResponse"
}
So I will say that I have successfully executed this query while using an undocumented feature. However, it appears that the result from the server is incorrect.
This should answer your question, although the result is simply shining light on a broken server implementation.
I have not reported the bugs / undocumented feature in this answer and would appreciate assistance in that effort.
You may find how to use Google Identity Toolkit from the official site. If you really want to manually try Google Identity Toolkit API, you need to enable the API in your Google Developers Console project, create an ApiKey in the project, and call the API using a command tool like curl. The request syntax should follow the one shown in the Google API Explorer.

Google Verification API 503

The google verification api is giving me a 503 error "An unexpected error occurred. Please try your request again." whenever I try to verify a domain using the TAG_MANAGER method.
This occurs when I try to use the API via the PHP client library and also when I use Google's API explorer. However, if I log in to Google Webmaster Tools and add the site, using Tag Manager as the verification method, I am able to successfully verify myself.
I've attached debugging information from the API explorer below, but it's very light on detail. My support request in the webmaster central forum has been met with deafening silence, but I'm not sure where else to ask.

https://www.googleapis.com/siteVerification/v1/webResource?verificationMethod=TAG_MANAGER&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
may need to be
https://www.googleapis.com/siteverification/v1/webResource?verificationMethod=TAG_MANAGER&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
also, a few additional notes
For Google to use your Google Tag Manager container snippet code for Webmaster Tools verification, the code must be placed immediately after the opening tag of your page.
The method you provided is used for verifying a site or domain, be sure you intend to verify a site, because this is what your request currently contains.
This method requires you to be authenticated (OAuth 2.0)
http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuth2.html
Ensure you have visited the following link
http://www.google.com/tagmanager/features.html
I finally stumbled across the fix for this today. The problem was that the service account running the requests needs to have "View and Manage" permissions on the applicable Tag Manager account, not just on the container that is actually being used. Only view access is required to the actual container.
While this isn't exactly desirable (we have 20+ containers for different sites/applications within the one account), it does resolve the problem and allow the Tag Manager site verification to work as intended.
I'm not sure whether the documentation has been changed since I originally had this problem or whether I just missed it. The required permissions are unexpected and the response code is misleading (a 403 would make more sense).
Check if you've enabled "Maintenance Mode" on your domain you're trying to verify using Google. Disable it and you're done.

Reading comments for a FB post with Koala gem with Rails 4

I have a rails4 app, from which I can put a wall post to logged in users facebook wall. Now what I want to do is read the FB comments for that given post and show then in my application.
I'm using Rails 4 and koala gems. Following is my code
Koala::Facebook::API.new(<user.oauth_token>).get_object("<facebook post id>") but I'm keep on getting this error.
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100
}
}
And I cannot see any mismatching in the API, strange thing is I remember I'm using the same code about 3-4 weeks back and If I remember correctly it was working fine that time,
it seems like its not an authentication problem because, If I use
Koala::Facebook::API.new(<user.oauth_token>).get_object("me") it works fine.
You will get the GraphMethodException Unsupported get request. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api when the user access token you specified does not have access to the Facebook object you are requesting. Here is a bug report with more specifics:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/1418832665047223/
