Google Drive Api - Document without authorization - google-api

I am building an app where two different users will edit the same document online, using only plain text. For this I am using the google-api-php-client-master hosted on github.
There are some examples, but I don't understand what I need to do to achieve my goal. The official documentation is deprecated because it reffers to a library that is not online, and all the classes have different names and ways of working.
I already got my credentials, and know how to get a list of the documents hosted on my drive account. But now I need to:
Create new document
Grant access to a non-google logged in user, just accessing the link
I don't expect anybody to give me a written solution, but to know where I have to start.
Thanks a lot for reading.

Ok im trying to do almost the same thing and this is what i know so far:
Most importantly please reffer to the docomentation: https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference
There is a written example on how to create new file!( section files->insert)
One way to make a gdrive file public is to share it to the web via the google api. Another way is to make revision of it( section revision->update) and then publish it( by setting "published" = true in the update request).
Being aware of your requirements i gues that the publishing wont really help you achieving your goal, because it is just a revision of the document from the past and not its current state.

Creating contact folders with Outlook REST API?

Is it possible to create contact folders with Outlook REST API? I've looked into the docs for Outlook Contacts API and found only references to fetching existing contact folders (even in the beta version).
Other questions seem to focus on using C# and probably some specific SDK for that. I'm using Python, so that wouldn't work for me. I haven't found, both on StackOverflow and through Google in general, any definitive answers to this question. From the lack of any mentions in the docs, I'd assume it's not possible, but just wanted to get a definitive and/or official answer on that matter, if possible. Also please let me know if I missed something during my research.
Thanks!
There is a create folder operation, although it seems specific to Mail folders and doesn't take any parameters that can specify a folder type. It's possible it may take on the same item type as the parent folder, but I'm not certain.
Otherwise there is a create method specific for Contact folders in the Graph API; see https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/v1.0/api/contactfolder_post_childfolders.
If you want a Python specific SDK, see: https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-python. Code samples: https://github.com/search?q=python+sample+user:microsoftgraph&type=Repositories
FYI, you can use any code platform to work with the Office 365 or Graph APIs, as long as they support REST.
After reading #Eric Legault's answer it gave me an insight to try something blindly. Even though the docs do not state it, you can create a folder by doing a POST to the contact folders endpoint with DisplayName property in the body.
So do
POST https://outlook.office.com/api/<version>/me/contactfolders with {"DisplayName": "folder_name"} in the request's body and it will work, returning the usual 201 Created response code.
This worked for me in both v2.0 and beta endpoints.
As of this writing, Outlook Contacts' UI (self-entitled Outlook People) is terrible and not user-friendly at all (either that or I just suck at understanding it), so I actually don't know how to create or delete contact folders through it, but I'm glad the REST API does the job :)

building torrent provider website

Recently i have been given a project that is torrent provider just like torrentz.eu, thepiratebay etc, where anyone can search what they want to download and then get the download like with the help of torrent.
I don't know the concept behind this, what is the basic requirement and what is the process to make it done. i have searched over Google but didn't find any relevant answer related to my problem.
I just want to know the process and what i really need to do to make it done. technology i will use that is spring framework.
Thanks
This is not really an Spring specific question but I'll try to help you.
You just need to save the torrent file (a text file with information needed by torrent clients) in a database along with information about the torrent like a representative name, a date and not much more. You could do this using Spring Data JPA for example. This way you won't need SQL knoledges.
If you want a site like torrentz.eu, you will also need to fetch data about the torrent like peers. You can store this also in the database but you will have to update it periodically. To do this, there are APIs like Bitsnoop that return this kind of information.
Having this, you'll need only some controller mappings to show your home and to let users search torrents given a name (the one that your saved before).
Well, first you need to know that Torrentz and ThePirateBay are 2 different things.
Torrentz is a search engine (like google) that searches for torrent files.
ThePirateBay - in past .torrent files hoster, now a simple Magnet linker.
All you need is a website with a huge .torrent files database.
Also a good hosting in a not online controlled country, so you don't get in trouble just like the most popular torrent website (thepiratebay.se / torrentz.com / kickasstorrents.com ...)
Of course they are still online, but that's just because they have a big fan base that keeps creating mirrors and proxies (https://viralifyblog.wordpress.com/2017/06/19/thepiratebay-proxy-list/)
Finally. I don't recommend creating a torrents website.

Copying offline forum's webpages from Google cache to new forum

Please first consider the following scenario:
I had a public forum online. accidentally all its database is lost and I am not able to get it anywhere. Now I have the only solution to get it from cached resources on web.
I want to know that is there a way to copy webpages of my forum from Google cache and directly put them on my other newly created forum? I must be possible but I don't know how. Can anyone help me?
The other question is if I managed to recover all the pages using Warrick on my hard disk, how is it possible to create DB from those pages?
Please help me out I shall be very grateful.
Its not possible to recreate a database from Googles cached version of your site without manually entering every single user (and all of their profile information) and rewriting every single post from scratch.

How to add user-data in JOOMLA?

i wannt to build a website with user management. User should be able to loggin with different accounts, f.e. GMail, Facebook, .....
When the user is logged in he/she can upload pictures with geolocation data and some text.
All uploaded geolocations should be visualized on something like google-maps.
Unregisterd users can view the map, but can not change the data or upload anything.
To solve this requirement i decided to use JOOMLA 2.5. with the "plugin_googlemap_J25_J3x.v3.2" plugin.
Everything i know about JOOMLA is what i learned the last two days.So i am very new to it.
Currently i am stuck, because i do not know how to save the user-data (pictures with geolocation data and some text) in JOOMLA.
I asked google! For more than an hour now! Could not find anything, related to that topic!
So my concrete questions are:
I suppose it is not possible to extend the JOOMLA user data database with the user-data, or?
If this is not possible, than i need a second database which holds the user-data, or?
Does anyone knows a tutorial which solves this problem?
I found someting for wordpress "http://codecanyon.net/item/privatecontent-user-data-addon/2399731"
but i have to check if this solves my requirements.
Thanks
Try this,
First make a list of your requirement then go to JED(Joomla extension Directory). search for related extensions.
Here from your requirement ,
You need a Customized Joomla Registration form
Social Media logins
And so on, so check the details of requirement and extension available, In any way you may need some customization on the Application then you can create some plugins for Users events.
Hope it helps..

having chrome extensions pulling data from ruby db

I would like to build a chrome extension (CE) that pulls data from a ruby db for a specific user. So, in a basic example, if an user submits their favorite color as 'red' and sport as 'tennis' into the db from the core website, when they click the CE, 'red' and 'tennis' will show up no matter where they are on the internet.
Any guidance on how to build something like this? Seems quite simple but am not sure how the CE files fit in with the ruby folder framework.
Also, is it possible to write to a ruby database from a popped out CE? i.e. - submitting 'red' and 'tennis' from the CE to the ruby database to go along with the previous example. Any guidance?
Cheers
This is a very general question so it sounds like you will need to learn a lot. Which can be a good thing :)
Here are the general steps you need:
Look into building an API for your ruby application. This will allow you to get data from your database. For example, you can
make an app where you go to http://yoursite.com/api/favorites and that will return a list of all favorites as JSON. Then in your Chrome Extension you can parse the JSON and display the results to the user. You will probably want to do this using an ajax call (see jquery.ajax for an easy way to use ajax).
Assuming you want user accounts, your user will need to be logged in. Then you can use your user's cookies to verify that they are logged in and show them custom info. i.e. going to http://yoursite.com/api/favorites will just show the favorites for that user, not for everyone.
Finally, submitting things to the database...you can have another route where users can send stuff. For example, if you go to http://yoursite.com/api/favorites/add?color=red then it will add the color red to that user's favorites. You will need to write all the logic for adding stuff to the database...again, it might help you to go through a rails tutorial and then look at building an API.
Related to #3, look into RESTful APIs. A good convention is that if you issue a GET request, you're asking for data, but if you issue a POST request, you are adding data (in your case, creating a new favorite).
Finally, for terminology: it's not a "ruby" database, it's just a database. You can access a database using almost any language, and it sounds like you are accessing it using ruby right now :)
If you only need to store data for one machine browsing anywhere online, chrome has a storage api that would work great.
If you do need a ruby server, I would recommend looking at sinatra.
