Google Apps "AdminReports" is not defined. - google-api

I'm trying to run the sample script from here:
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/advanced/admin-sdk-reports#reference
but it looks like the API isn't enabled / included.
I've enabled the AdminAPI in the Developer Console, have I missed something? I'm able to make calls to UserManager without changing anything, but as this is now depreciated I'd like to use the new API.

Found it. In the script editor, select Resources > Advanced Google Services. It needs to be enabled in there as well

Set Away/Home Mode

Does the API expose the ability to set the mode to Away or Home?
I don’t see this listed in the API documentation. I think this functionality is important as it now only allows you to turn off your thermostats but also configure alerts via the mobile app (I have mine set to only send alerts for my NestCams when I’m away).
You can't set "away", but you can set the thermostat to either Eco or Off.
No. I also hope the old functionality of the Nest API's will be available on the new API. The motion/person per zone is also missing for example.
There's no way to explicitly set that in this new API. Google wants you to use their Home/Away Routines instead, though I don't think all of the old use cases are supported yet (or will be).

can you load external executable javascript from a firefox extension?

Does anyone know if there is a way to load any external executable javascript from a firefox add-on extension? I looked into scriptloader.loadSubScript, but it appears that it can only load from a local resource.
Any help would be appreciated.
You can always xhr for a file, save the contents to disk, then use scriptloader.loadSubScript with an add-on
this would violate the AMO policies though, so you wouldn't be able to upload the add-on to http://addons.mozilla.org
As #erikvold already pointed out, doing so would be a security hazard AND it also violates AMO rules (because it is a security hazard).
Consider your server gets compromised, or there is a way to MITM the connection retrieving the remote script (TLS bugs anyone :p), or you sell your domain and the new owner decides to ship a script to collect credit card information straight from a user's hard disk...
However, it is possible to run a remote script in an unprivileged environment, much like it would run in a website.
Create a Sandbox. The Sandbox should be unprivileged, e.g. pass an URL in your domain into the constructor.
Retrieve your script, e.g. with XHR.
Evaluate your script in the Sandbox and pull out any data it might have generated for you.
This is essentially what tools like Greasemonkey (executing user scripts) do.
Creating and working with Sandboxes in a secure fashion is hard, and the Sandbox being unprivileged prohibits a lot of use cases, but maybe it will work for your stuff.
Try using Components.utils.import .
Example :
const {Cc,Ci,Cu} = require("chrome");
Cu.import("url/path of the file");
Note :
js file which uses DOM objects like window, navigator, etc. will return error saying "window/navigator is undefined". This is simply because the main.js code does not have access to DOM.

Toggle javascript support programmatically without restarting firefox

The problem: toggle javascript support without restarting firefox (nor resorting to different driver) during cucumber test run.
If Firefox's prefutils were exposed to javascript in a web page, that would make it possible. But it is not the case.
So, is there a plugin that does it? Or is there another way to solve the problem? Or is there a good tutorial (that highlights the exposing bit) on how to make such a plugin?
Edit
On a second thought, how would javascript be of any help once it is disabled? Probably the whole idea is a bit screwed.
I assume that your tests run with normal web content privileges. In that case, they aren't going to be able to affect browser settings such as whether JavaScript is enabled (I assume that's what you mean by "toggle JavaScript support").
I'd implement a simple XPCOM component with a method to turn JS support on and off (by setting the appropriate pref). You can expose it as a JavaScript global property so that your tests can access it. See Expose an XPCOM component to javascript in a web page for more details. Package your component in an extension and make sure it is installed in the Firefox instance where your tests are running.
If you want to access the preferences API directly from your content script, you can add the following prefs to Firefox, either in about:config or by adding the following lines to prefs.js in your profile directory:
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p1.granted", "UniversalXPConnect UniversalBrowserRead UniversalBrowserWrite UniversalPreferencesRead UniversalPreferencesWrite UniversalFileRead");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p1.id", "http://www.example.com");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p1.subjectName", "");`
user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);
Replace www.example.com with the domain that you want to grant the privileges to. Also add this line to your JS code before you call the preferences API:
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect');
A local file (something loaded from file:///) is allowed to request additional privileges. Normally you would get a prompt asking whether you want to allow access - you can "auto-accept" the prompt by adding the following lines to prefs.js in the Firefox profile:
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.granted", "UniversalXPConnect");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.id", "file://");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.subjectName", "");
You page can then do:
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
var branch = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch);
branch.setBoolPref("javascript.enabled", false);
This will definitely work if your page is a local file. Judging by the error message however, you are currently running code from about:blank. It might be that changing capability.principal.codebase.p0.id into about:blank or into moz-safe-about:blank will allow that page to get extended privileges as well but I am not sure.
However, none of this will really help if JavaScript is already disabled and you need to enable it. This can only be solved by writing an extension and adding it to the test profile. JavaScript in Firefox extensions works regardless of this setting.
That means you need Javascript to toggle enabling or disabling Javascript.
function setJavascriptPref(bool) {
prefs = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch);
prefs.setBoolPref("javascript.enabled", bool);
}

Keeping cookies when testing an addon

I'm developing an addon using Firefox Add-on SDK. I am using cfx to run my addons when testing.
The app posts some text when highlighted to twitter.
The problem is each time I modify the code I have to log back into twitter. Is there any way to ensure cookies are saved whilst testing/debugging? Similar to what happens when you open and close Firefox normally?
What are your parameters for calling cfx? By default, cxf executes in a new profile.
You need to use -p PROFILEDIR or --profiledir=PROFILEDIR param to use a specific profile, and associated settings.

Google static map API getting 403 forbidden when loading from img tag

What I have is a Google map that shows the location of a property but when I come to print the dynamic maps dont print so good so I decided to implement the Google Static Map image API.
http://lpoc.co.uk/properties-for-sale/property/oldgate-dairy-st-james-road-long-sutton-cambridgeshire-pe12/?prop-print=1
^^ is an example of a property in print view and should show a static map image but it fails to load and looking at my inspector I'm getting a 403 Forbiden response for the image.
But if I go to the URL directly the image loads...
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Scott
This has gotten quite a lot of views, so I'm adding my solution to the problem here:
When using the new API, make sure you generate a Key for browser apps (with referers) and also make sure the patterns match your URL.
E.g. when requesting from example.com your pattern should be
example.com/*
When you're requesting from www.example.com:
*.example.com/*
So make sure you check whether a subdomain is present and allow both patterns in the developer console.
Visit the Developer Console.
Under API Keys, click the pencil icon to edit.
Under "Key restrictions", ensure that you have an entry for example.com/*, *.example.com/*, and any local testing domains you might want.
There seems to be some confusion here, and since this thread is highly ranked on Google, it seems relevant to clarify.
Google has a couple of different API's to use for their maps service:
Javascript API
The old version of this API was version 2, which required a key. This version is deprecated, and it is recommended to upgrade to the newer version 3. Note that the documentation still states that you need a key for this to function, except if you're using "Google Maps API for Business".
Static Maps API
This is a whole different story. Static maps is a service that does not require any javascript. You simply call an url, and Google will return a maps image, making it possible to insert the URL directly into your <img> tag.
The newest version is version 2, and this requires a key to function because a usage limit is applied.
A key can be requested here:
https://code.google.com/apis/console
And the key should be added to the request for the correct image to be generated:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=New+York,NY&zoom=13&size=600x300&key=API_console_key
I hope this clears up some confusion.
I had this same problem but my solution was different. I had the V2 maps api enabled, but not the static maps api (I thought this was V2). I enabled the static maps api and it worked.
Oops I feel like such an idiot. I was using the old V2 maps API URL and not the new V3 API URL. I was getting a 403 because I was using the V2 URL without providing an API key :(
Be hundred percent sure of these points: (for static maps)
Enable your project at this url :
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/static_maps_backend/overview?project=
You have your localhost, staging and production - all urls with wildcards enabled in the referrer section.
Google has changed its policy and you now need an api key to display maps. refer this for more : Google Maps API without key?
Hope it helps.
Staticmaps V3 doesn't need the "Key" attribute and removing it seems to solve the <img> source problem.
Try with an URL like this:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=0.0000,0.0000&zoom=13&size=200x200&maptype=roadmap&markers=0.0000,0.0000&sensor=false
For more information read this.
Yeah, Google Maps API version 3 were java-script version; "Google Static Maps" latest were 2.0. I suspect there might be some restriction on use.
I could also not display static maps and could see 403 error in the browser's network console.
http response headers:
status:403
x-content-type-options:nosniff
I had an API key with a lot of Google Maps APIs enabled but the Google Static Maps API was missing, enabling it solved the issue.
now you should use 'signature' parameter, which you should add to request - otherwise static maps won't work.
here is few useful links
1) how to generate signature
2) how to make signature on BE side (code snippet)
I am using Wordpress 4.9.4 with ChurchThemes Exodus Theme. I had applied for & generated a New API_KEY.
I confirmed it was being used when calling the map:
Google Map Link
However the Js Console showed the following error:
Google Maps Error in Js Console
As Johnny White mentioned above I had to navigate to the API Library Screen via APIs & Services Menu:
enter image description here
You will be greeted by the API Library screen:
API Library Screen
Click on Maps(17) Lower LHS.
Search for & click Google Static Maps API - Enable it if needed:
Google Static Maps API
You may also need to enable Google Maps Javascript API (same process as for Static Maps:
Google Maps Javascript API
Once that is done your maps should start appearing on your site or app.
If they don't appear on refresh you may need to:
clear your cache (Wordpress or Drupal webistes),
wait the 5 min recommended for the API to Register the enabled API's
Try enabling billing on this Google Cloud Project/Firebase Project.
I was experiencing this same issue and just received the 403 error in the console.
Copying and pasting the Static Maps URL in to the URL bar and loading it showed the following error message:
The Google Maps Platform server rejected your request. You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project at
