I've just stumbled onto Google Safe Browsing lookup API and will admit this seems to be a bit above my head, but I still would like to learn how to use it.
I've read through the get-started documentation, but I am still confused on where to actually begin.
I've created an API key to access it, which gave me a link.
I've pasted that link into Google Chrome, and it downloaded a file, which I opened in Google Chrome on my Win 7 machine.
This is where I am stuck, where is the API?
How do I actually paste URL's into the API to see if they are malicious or not?
So, if you're still wondering about this 6 months later an API is a way of interacting with a site not through your browser. You don't need to worry about it if you're using Chrome or Firefox since the browser will do it for you.
However, you know how a website for a bar will have a small google maps box with the map of the area? The application (website) sent a get request to the Google Maps API. The simplest way you do this at home is with your terminal or command line. That's where you would type in the url you're trying to check.

I got the below popup when I tried to execute the google form api from google developer documentation.
I tried this same process with google docs api which work perfectly. I tried tp turn on less secure app access, but it seems google made it unavailable.
what is the other way out.
Thanks
This appears to be a bug with the try me on forms.
I have logged it on the issue form and im going to see if i can find someone at google to ping about it
Forms.get try me not working
I suspect however that this may have something to do with the app being in early access. That being said i would have expected a different error message if that was the issue.
It is most likely due to the permission for the client they are using. It is an internal error and not something you have done.
May i suggest creating your own app and testing it that way. Just remember this api is in early access so be sure that you fill out the form found on this page Google Forms API now available in open beta
Developers can apply to join our Early Adopter Program and begin developing using the Google Forms API by filling out this form.
I need to get the title of the currently playing video in my Firefox browser from an external app using youtube API, or at least my last played video in my YT account. The goal is to get the name of the song i'm listening to and putting it in a file. I've got another app (using Discord API) that will read it and use it.
My first idea was to get the watch history, but this function was removed from the API since late 2016.
I managed to authentificate my Google application to access my own channel with Oauth 2.0, but from here I'm stuck. There don't seem to be any request that gets your own last watched video.
I also thought of a completely different way, by using a Firefox extension to get the title, but storing it and passing it to the other app will not be an easy thing (localStorage and sessionStorage are both in AppData folder, and my other app can't access it).
Does anybody know a way to do this? I'm starting to be kind of desperate.
I was looking for something similar and came across this in my search: Cross-Domain Cookies
Sharing cookies between 2 applications via a 3rd party might be of help here although it would complicate things.
My site is using Google reCAPTCHA control but I am hearing its being block in
China, Is there anyway around this I see there is some people reporting that changing the API to https://www.recaptcha.net works in China?
Anyone try this because I see it still going out to google?
string apiUrl = "https://www.recaptcha.net/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret={0}&response={1}";
As google says in his assistance page, you should use this domain "www.recaptcha.net" instead "www.google.com" on the api call.
First, replace src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" with
src="https://www.recaptcha.net/recaptcha/api.js"
After that, apply the same to everywhere else that uses "www.google.com/recaptcha/" on your site.
Obtained from: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/faq#can-i-use-recaptcha-globally
Edit: to clarify on some of the comments, while if you try it outside of china yes you do get references to gstatic.com but if you try this in china, any references to gstatic.com are replaced with gstatic.cn (don't forget to add it to your SCP). So this solution is still valid.
IMHO, google things are not stable in China as it can be blocked anytime.
From Baidu threads, it also mentioned that sometime google recaptcha works, sometime it doesn't.
https://www.v2ex.com/t/492752 (Chinese)
In programming world ,unstable function means useless or more code for dealing with exception.
If you really need to use google recaptcha,
you would better test properly using VPN (IP in China) first.
Here are some options you can consider,
You can use alternative captcha
Google will tell you various captcha.
Build your own captcha
Open Source Invisible reCAPTCHA alternatives
Use proxy web server(nginx) to send and receive data to or from google recaptcha
I have shared the solution to this problem by using cURL.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/63568516/11910869
cURL acts as a middle man between the client and the server. So even if google.com/recaptcha can not be accessed by the client because it is blocked by the service provider, cURL can act as the proxy to send the HTTP requests and get the response.
I am a beginner trying out api for fun.
The problem is, lets say, I want to write a simple windows program with golang to let my friends read and edit one of the sheets saved on my google drive. How can I do this without having them download a credential file?
What I want it to do is simply redirect them to the Oauth Page right away, and if their email address is one recognized by the app it will grant them access to that google sheet.
What i think you need is to integrate your go app with Oauth protocol.
More specifically, with the Google provider.
This is mainly 3 steps:
add the oauth client to your application
something like this: https://github.com/golang/oauth2
See their docs on how to do it.
go to google dev documentation and see how to integrate google auth flow into the client: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2
I'm not sure if google has something more specific for google drive integration and/or go-lang client in particular. Please do some searching.
make the glue code on your go app so that the user can interact with this (the login button (or command, if it is terminal based), error messages, logout, etc)
More questions will appear when you start to do this, however it is a great example to learn Oauth as well.
General guidelines:
https all the queries or oauth is basically useless
oatuh has many auth-flows and you must choose which one(s) you support. use whatever google documentation recommends for m2m scenario (machine 2 machine)
log errors so that your friends can send you a log file for you to debug issues
maybe set some feature flag so that you can simply disable this feature to run/test localhost ? maybe useful? you decide.
I'm wondering if anyone can help with this.
I'm creating a site for a client using Google Sites (A requirement they set).
One of their requirement is for a contact form to be embedded on the site. I've had a look and there are plenty out there, however, if a user visits from any version of IE the content is not displayed due to the security settings.
All other browsers are functioning fine.
I know the alternative is to simply put a link to an external source, but is not ideal.
My question is threefold fold.
1. Is it possible to write a gadget that will work for IE with non-secure content (if so how)?
2. Are there any HTTPS contact forms out there that I could use?
3. Does anyone have any experience with Google sites and trying to load non-secure content and have any tips?
Thanks
Have you tried JotForm.com? They have the same (free and premium) plans as emailmeform.com. Plus, they have a specific roundabouts to embed your form in Google Sites (they have a gadget made for Google Sites). And yes, JotForm has https url for their forms if you wish to embed it as an iframe.
-- One other solution is resort to using Google Docs form.
Does anyone have any experience with Google sites and trying to load
non-secure content and have any tips? Still awaiting people with
experience....
-- Yes, I have experienced this while trying to put some social media scripts in my Google Sites website and the best thing really was to rid my Sites of those non-secure contents.
For any interested I have kind of answered my questions.
Is it possible to write a gadget that will work for IE with non-secure content (if so how)?
It is possible but you need to have a SSL hosted server.
Are there any HTTPS contact forms out there that I could use?
There are paid solutions for this. Alternatively, write your own html code to post to one of these solutions (free solution is http://www.emailmeform.com/)
Does anyone have any experience with Google sites and trying to load non-secure content and have any tips?
