I am using a facebook php SDK to post image to users album using the user access token. First we will generate the token and then post the image. My issue is that posting image works fine but below each image on right side, facebook adds a link 'via MY APPLICATION NAME'.This link redirects user to my application page in facebook (http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=APPLICATION ID). I want to change this link to point to my personal website URL (www.abc.com).
Please let me know if this is possible.
I've seen other apps do it, and am looking for the same thing. I've glanced over all the app settings, and am currently reading the api trying to figure it out. It's probably going to be something stupid like deleting all the other urls to force it to default to your site url in the app settings...Let me know if you have any luck with this.

I'm developing an app where automation is the main component. It setups by showing the QR code in front of the camera and then everything is set up automatically. I wonder if it's possible to get a "code" by passing the credentials with a POST request or something similar without the user needing to interact. Let's assume the user gave consent already on a computer.
There is a method to Get access on behalf of a user:

I have developed a tool for handling google sheet using spring boot with google sheet api. When I run the application from UI ,then eclipse console will show a link for OAuth authentication so that to get data in UI Eclipse console.I need to get back to console and take the link to browser for authentication. So my question is how to authenticate it through UI rather than going to console manually.
I selected react js as UI, and I added GoogleLogin to it
`
This tool is requir a google account to access<GoogleLogin
clientId="my client id"
redirectUri="http://localhost:8888/Callback"
scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets"
responseType="code"
accessType="offline"
buttonText="Choose account"
onSuccess=""
onFailure="" ></GoogleLogin>
</div>`
even though react js code worked,i will get the sheet data only after authenticating using link given in console.Please help me to solve this
You may redirect it directly but it would only work in case you are having that url working.
Let suppose, I'm hosting my application on http://localhost:8080/myProject then it would be redirect you to some url, you would be get that using this way.
Generate Credentials.json file while keeping redirect url blank.
Put this file to resources
Run project again
It will give you the response url, Do something for mapping that URL to your needed re-directional url.
Let me know if you need anything more in this.
I've got a windows phone 8/8.1 app which contains a page with an embedded web browser on it. I build a list of articles extracting information from the website and all of this works fine but note that I only use this web browser to display an article when a user has clicked on the item in my list.
The article in question provides a button to allow user to leave comments via twitter. At the bottom of each article there is a "Twitter Log in" button. When I click on it, it brings me to the authorizing page and it displays the news website as the app I want to authorize.
After entering my twitter credential and clicking on the "Authorize App", I get the following error:
Exception of type 'Microsoft.Phone.Controls.WebBrowserNavigationException' was thrown.
Then a Twitter webpage gets displayed display the following:
There is no request token for this page. That's a special key we need from applications asking you to use your Twitter account. Please go back to the site or application that sent you here and try again. It's probably just a mistake.
It definitely authenticated me as I can see my Twitter account picture but it failed to authorize the app.
I understand that my app is not the original website as it is a wp8/8.1 app but what I'm calling in the web browser is the page that contains all the original code from the news website and therefore you would assume everything would work as if I was calling the website directly from a browser.
If I call the website from the browser that comes with wp8/8.1, it works as expected!! Strangely enough they have the same functionality but using facebook and this works as expected.
I've had a look at html the "twitter authorized page" when called from my phone and when called directly from my web browser on my laptop and while I can clearly see the form contains an hidden field for authenticity_token with a value and a oauth_token with another value, they do differ.
I don't know if they're suppose to be identical but as I said, I don't understand why this wouldn't work as when I display the article in the embedded web browser, you'd assume that everything else that goes on after this would behave as it would in a regular web browser and when this 'authorize app' button is clicked, you'd assume that all values would be passed as normal and the app would get authorized but nope!!
Any suggestions on how I could possible resolve this problem?
Thanks.
I can't really tell what's going on, but it looks like you would have to implement Twitter OAuth. Luckily for you there is already a library that can do that - https://github.com/konradbartecki/TwitterAutherino
I am the author of this library, so let me know if you need some support or non-existent features.
For the background:
I'm developing a device application which offers connection to Google Drive. My end-users will need to login to their Google Account and authorize my application to access their Google Drive.
I'm using OAuth 2.0 to do this. But my concern is that I don't want users to navigate away from my application using the links on the Google Login page. Basically, I don't want them to use my application to browse the internet.
Question:
Will I violate any terms of service/usage if I hide or change the href the links using GreaseMonkey or TamperMonkey? The changes will only be on the client side and I won't alter any processing at all.
I already checked https://developers.google.com/terms/ but I found no item related to modifying the pages on client side.
Thanks in advance.
What kind of device? If you’re on Android, check out the Google Drive API and GoogleAuthUtil, you probably don’t need to code your own OAuth 2 support. On iOS we’ve been shipping a bunch of library-ware to help you similarly.
But if you’re doing OAuth 2 via a browser, it would be highly inappropriate to screw around with the Google Login page. Also I suspect that the page will try to resist such attempts, but I don’t know the details.
I'm trying to get a user's facebook profile picture based on their email address. Effectively, I want to offer my users the option between using Gravatar for their image, or Facebook. However, the only way I know of to get a user's facebook image is via:
http://graph.facebook.com/[FBOOK USERNAME]/picture?type=large
Since the usernames may vary between facebook and my site, I would like to do this via email address rather than username. How do I query for someone's facebook profile picture via email address?
I see this question has a couple of years already but the same search approach can be taken using the Graph API:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/search?q={EMAIL}&type=user
You can try this on the Graph API Explorer. You don't get the profile picture directly but you get the user id which you can easily use to get the public profile picture.
https://graph.facebook.com/{UID}/picture
There doesn't seem to be an official way to do what you are asking. It seems like facebook has made this closed on purpose, probably something to do with privacy. Its actually really easy to do this in a few screen-scraping steps though:
Visit http://www.facebook.com/#!/search.php?q=#{USERS_EMAIL_ADDRESS}&type=all&init=srp
If page returns "No results found for your query.", then they don't have a profile.
Otherwise, the page will contain a thumbnail of the user for that email address. (something like http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/hs227.ash2/48219_72120057_3223_q.jpg)
I could write a sinatra app to do this in about 5 minutes, if anyone would like me to.
But I think gravatar and facebook should just be friends.
What you're asking to do is part of why Facebook Connect exists.
Using their not-too-cleverly-named XFBML you can request the image directly:
<fb:profile-pic uid="1256100362" facebook-logo="true" size="thumb"> </fb:profile-pic>
But you have to implement logins with FB Connect first...
