How can I call Yammer autocomplete api from backend using HttpWebrequest? - yammer

I need to call Yammer autocomplete GET API (https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/autocomplete/ranked) from backend (aspx.cs) using HttpWebRequest. I am not able to send content body (prefix and models) with GET HttpWebRequest. I tried to replace GET with POST but i am getting error 'Method Not Allowed'.
Appreciate any advice on how to call Yammer autocomplete GET api from backend using HttpWebrequest.

To use GET you can simply encode the data into the url. Like:
"api/v1/autocomplete/ranked?models=user:5&prefix=" + name

Maybe you forgot to include Accept: application/json as header of the request, which is needed to call the autocomplete API from Yammer.

How to detect on my API sever if API request is coming from a chrome extension?

I am using Laravel on my API server.
I am making an API request from my chrome extension.
Since I couldn't find a way to save my API auth token safely in the chrome extension and reuse it every time I want to make a request, hence I am looking for a way to identify the request on API side if the request is from my extension or not.
Add an extra header in the chrome extension where you are calling your Api .Add the header to api header when calling. Now in the controller use.
if ($request->hasHeader('X-Header-Name')) {
Api call from extension ..
}

Slack Bot OpenModal Error: missing_post_type

I newly started with Slack Bot programming and I got an issue.
I am using Zapier as a webhook, and I created a new message with a button.
Now I want to open a modal like documented here: https://api.slack.com/methods/dialog.open#arg_token
For that, I make a POST Request via Zapier Webhooks like this:
Instead of that the modal opens, I get a response with an error message "error
missing_post_type"
I hope some expert can help me with this issue.
Thank you for the support!
The solution can be found in the linked documentation.
The method was called via a POST request and included a data payload, but the request did not include a Content-Type header.
You only need to add the content-type header. Then the post request should work.
Content-Type: application/json

Update a Google Sheet Using HTTP Request in Postman

I have a server needing to update a shared Google Sheet. It generates special tokens for offline use so doesn't work with PHP quickstart module.
I am trying to setup request in Postman for this action:
https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/update
But get the following result:
Is it possible to use HTTP for this API?
Turns out I had to add ?valueInputOption=RAW on the end of my URL request and removed valueInputOption from the request body JSON.
The valueInputOption should be passed as params to the POST URL, it should not be in the request body.
Also the sheetID and the range should be sent in the URL.
I suppose it should be a POST call not PUT.

what is the facebook ajax request which get the posts?

I am trying using facebook from Scrapy.
I can log in successfully. However, I can't get the posts on facebook because the posts comes from ajax calls.
I tried using firebug and check the XHR. I got this:
I tried to check the response of all those request but none of them contains the actual data of the posts.
What is the ajax request that get the posts on facebook?
Thanks in advance
Don't use the AJAX calls from your browser. Those are encrypted since Facebook uses HTTPS connections. Focus on using their API to make the calls you need to get the data you want. That's the entire purpose of their Graph API.
