I tried creating my messagecard (legacy twitter JSON payload i tried) in Microsoft Teams, but it's not working. I failed to find any documentation on the same.
Update: Here's the test payload that i tried,
{
"themeColor": "0078D7",
"sections": [
{
"activityTitle": "**Elon Musk**",
"activitySubtle": "#elonmusk - 9/12/2016 at 5:33pm",
"activityImage": "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/782474226020200448/zDo-gAo0.jpg",
"activityText": "Climate change explained in comic book form by xkcd xkcd.com/1732"
},
{
"activityTitle": "**Mark Knopfler**",
"activitySubtitle": "#MarkKnopfler - 9/12/2016 at 1:12pm",
"activityImage": "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/378800000221985528/b2ebfafca6fd7b565fdf3bf4ccdb4dc9.jpeg",
"activityText": "Mark Knopfler features on B.B King's all-star album of Blues greats, released on this day in 2005..."
}
]
}
So i have the following questions:
Does it worked for anyone else?
Is legacy messagecard is supported?
Share the documentation (if its available)
#Tsang, Thanks for the payload.
I tested your above payload with Message card play ground and see the following card - it's working:
Being said that, i found a typo in the payload (it should be activitySubtitle, rather it was activitySubtle). Here's the updated payload:
"themeColor": "0078D7",
"sections": [
{
"activityTitle": "**Elon Musk**",
"activitySubtitle": "#elonmusk - 9/12/2016 at 5:33pm",
"activityImage": "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/782474226020200448/zDo-gAo0.jpg",
"activityText": "Climate change explained in comic book form by xkcd xkcd.com/1732"
},
{
"activityTitle": "**Mark Knopfler**",
"activitySubtitle": "#MarkKnopfler - 9/12/2016 at 1:12pm",
"activityImage": "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/378800000221985528/b2ebfafca6fd7b565fdf3bf4ccdb4dc9.jpeg",
"activityText": "Mark Knopfler features on B.B King's all-star album of Blues greats, released on this day in 2005..."
}
]
Now the updated card looks like:

If I upload a video which has CategoryId 34 (Comedy/Komödie), the API tells me the CategoryId isn't available/supported.
But I got the Categories from YouTube, saved the List in a DB with the following call:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videoCategories/list?apix_params=%7B%22part%22%3A%22snippet%22%2C%22hl%22%3A%22de_DE%22%2C%22regionCode%22%3A%22DE%22%7D
and this category exists.
So with every "failed upload" my Quota raises. Unfortunately I can upload only 6 videos a day.
Any suggestions?
I checked the Categories, still up-to-date
According to the URL of the request you provided in your question, you're using de_DE as regionCode.
If so, you need to use the id 23 instead - which corresponds to Komödie.
See:
{
"kind": "youtube#videoCategory",
"etag": "\"0UM_wBUsFuT6ekiIlwaHvyqc80M/l3o_qqirQJQvOVhrSz9qa3x9Nxo\"",
"id": "23",
"snippet": {
"channelId": "UCBR8-60-B28hp2BmDPdntcQ",
"title": "Komödie",
"assignable": true
}
}
You can test the results in these demos:
Results of videoCategories.list from Germany "de_DE" in YouTube Official Documentation - "try-it" feature.
Results of videoCategories.list from Germany "de_DE" in Google API Explorer demo.
If you're still sure there's a problem with YouTube Data API, my advice is search whether your problem is already reported on Issue Tracker or report the problem there.
A Post entity (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt607553.aspx) cannot be created using Dynamics CRM 2016 Online Web API.
This payload should create a post on POST /api/data/v8.1/posts
{
"text": "Test Single Post",
"source": 1,
"type": 7
}
(source 1 is an auto post, type 7 is a status post)
But it returns:
{
"error":
{
"code":"",
"message":"An unexpected error occurred.",
"innererror"
{
"message":"An unexpected error occurred..."
}
}
}
Submitting the same payload with only "text" fails too.
Notice that the Post entity does not have single-valued navigation properties (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt607553.aspx#bkmk_SingleValuedNavigationProperties) that will allow me to set the related entity (contact, account, etc).
For example, Creating a Task entity (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt607619.aspx) works fine on POST /api/data/v8.1/tasks
{
"subject": "Test Single Task",
"description": "Test One Description of Task",
"regardingobjectid_contact_task#odata.bind": "/contacts(<someguid>)",
"scheduledend": "2016-07-21T12:11:19.4875892Z"
}
It seems to me that Post should expose something like regardingobjectid_contact_post#odata.bind, but it does not.
For context, this is how to create a Post via the SOAP endpoint and the SDK:
var result = Client.getOrganizationService().Create(new Post
{
Text = post.text,
RegardingObjectId = new EntityReference(
entityName,
Guid.Parse(post.regarding_guid)
)
});
Does anyone have a working example of a Post created via the Web API? Is this an omission in the Dynamics CRM Web API?
It doesn't look like this is listed in the limitations: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt628816.aspx
UPDATE
It appears that the postregarding entity is where the link should be created to contact/account. This can be demonstrated by querying:
/posts?$filter=postregardingid/regardingobjectid_contact/contactid eq <someguid>
However, a "deep insert" like so does not work:
{
"text":"sometext",
"postregardingid":
{
"regardingobjectid_contact#odata.bind":"/contacts(someguid)"
}
}
The response is
Cannot create child entities before parent entity.
Nowhere it's mentioned like Post (activity feed) cannot be created using webapi. In fact it's not listed as crm webapi limitation like you pointed out.
Also on comparison, _regardingobjectid_value lookup property of post is different from activitypointer. Single valued navigation property too.
Out of curiosity, My investigation moved towards the Partner - post_PostRegardings
Only thing making sense - postregarding is strictly internal use. This could be the reason for all such behavior. This is my theory per v8.2 today(Aug 12 2017)
Description: Represents which object an activity feed post is regarding. For internal use only.
Entity Set path:[organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/postregardings
Base Type: crmbaseentity EntityType
Display Name: Post Regarding
Primary Key: postregardingid
Ref: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt608103.aspx
Update:
Looks like MS recommend the community to use Organization service to create a custom Post record. Web api is still broken. Read more
I was recently struggling with this issue with an Activity table made using powerapps. For those who are interested, here's my post request:
POST: https://<MY_DOMAIN>.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/<TABLE_NAME>
{
"regardingobjectid_contact#odata.bind": "/contacts(xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)",
"description": "data for this entity",
"subject": "more data"
}
I didn't do anything different from other peoples' answers. I'll give an update if this problem fails sporadically. But as it is right now, it looks like regardingobjectid may be working in version 9.1
using D365 Api v9.1
POST https://{domain}.crm4.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/posts

I have created a web application from which I am trying to get recommendations of a user from his/her LinkedIn Profile using URL
String url="https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(recommendations-received:(id,recommendation-type,recommendation-text,recommender))?format=json"
When I am using this URL in the
Api Explorer it works fine. And gives output:-
{ "recommendationsReceived": {
"_total": 2,
"values": [
{
"id": 558598601,
"recommendationText": "xxx is among the best team players I ever worked with. He has handled client effectively with smooth operations. I had always seen him as person with solution mindset and always look for solution rather than thinking about the problem. ",
"recommendationType": {
"code": "colleague"
},
"recommender": {
"firstName": "XXX",
"id": "YYYY",
"lastName": "XXX"
}
},
{
"id": ZZZZ,
"recommendationText": "XXX is one of the most dedicated person at work.I always him with a flexible attitude and ready to adapt himself in all situation.I have seen him work all night to catch up all the deadlines and deliver on time ."
"recommendationType": {
"code": "colleague"
},
"recommender": {
"firstName": "XXX",
"id": "YYYY",
"lastName": "XXXX"
}
}
] } }
The problem comes, when I am using this URL in my Developer app.It doesn't give any error just simple return an empty map [:] as output in response
Irrespective of these recommendation fields, I successfully get the user basic profile data such as email, id, image,firstName,lastName.Means my code is working for other fields well but not for these recommendation fields*
To find the solution, I did some internet surfing and find a link of Linked API docs
Linked API Docs
As per Docs following selection of profile fields are only available
to applications that have applied and been approved for the Apply with
LinkedIn program:
Recommendation Fields
I already created a LinkedIn Developer account to get key & Secret
So how do I apply and get approval for Apply with LinkedIn Recommendation Fields.
I already have seen the LinkedIn support but can't find the way to ask question to the Linked Developer help support
Please suggest me the right way.
After a long internet surfing,I have found something fruitful that, I have to fill up a form to get these fields.Here is the form
along with its procedural details
You can use just recommendations-received keyword. Try the following link. I am getting all recommendations details with this link.
https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(recommendations-received)?format=json
Given a URL or ID of a Youtube video, is it possible to get the (1) name of the "user" who had uploaded it and (2) channel that it belongs to? If so, what is the API request?
So, for example: lets' say I have a video ID: "VulCl5QfewE" corresponding to the video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VulCl5QfewE
I then want to extract the name of the user, which is: "TheYoungTurks" and the URL of the user is:
https://www.youtube.com/user/TheYoungTurks
I also want to be able to extract the name of the channel, which is: "UC1yBKRuGpC1tSM73A0ZjYjQ" and the URL of the channel is:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1yBKRuGpC1tSM73A0ZjYjQ
Finally, (as a "side, ancillary question") I am a bit confused what is the difference between a "channel" and a "user". Can a user have multiple channels? I did read the link here: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/2vsyit/whats_the_difference_between_user_and_channel/ but I am trying to understand the use case behind it.
Cheers
If you want to retrieve the channel informations from a videoId, you need to use the ressource videos.list with the parameters:
part: snippet
id: "VulCl5QfewE" //for example
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&id=VulCl5QfewE&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
The result show you the channelID of the user:
"items": [
{
"kind": "youtube#video",
"etag": "\"iDqJ1j7zKs4x3o3ZsFlBOwgWAHU/IcNtD4uunskZTQuIeM0YQRcc5HY\"",
"id": "VulCl5QfewE",
"snippet": {
"publishedAt": "2015-08-05T01:11:24.000Z",
"channelId": "UC1yBKRuGpC1tSM73A0ZjYjQ",
Then use this information to get the name of the channel with the ressource channel.list
part: snippet
id: UC1yBKRuGpC1tSM73A0ZjYjQ
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet&id=UC1yBKRuGpC1tSM73A0ZjYjQ&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
Part of the result:
"snippet": {

Finally, (as a "side, ancillary question") I am a bit confused what is
the difference between a "channel" and a "user". Can a user have
multiple channels? I did read the link here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/2vsyit/whats_the_difference_between_user_and_channel/

There is a link with Google+ account, check https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/3MsBApaK2Hw
When using the YouTube API v3 to query a channel's branding settings, why are they returned for queries by channel ID, but not for queries by username? The API doesn't return branding settings for channel list queries by username.
If you query for a channel's branding settings by channel ID (e.g., id=UC8-Th83bH_thdKZDJCrn88g), you are returned a complete set of branding settings:
Google API Explorer: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list
Request
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=brandingSettings&id=UC8-Th83bH_thdKZDJCrn88g&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
Response
{
// ... snip ...
"items": [
{
"kind": "youtube#channel",
"etag": "\"...\"",
"id": "UC8-Th83bH_thdKZDJCrn88g",
"brandingSettings": {
"channel": {
"title": "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon",
"description": "Watch The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Weeknights 11:35/10:35c\n\nThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon features hilarious highlights from the show including: comedy sketches, music parodies, celebrity interviews, ridiculous games, and, of course, Jimmy's Thank You Notes and hashtags! You'll also find behind the scenes videos and other great web exclusives.",
// all the branding settings are here
}
}
}]
}
If, on the other hand, you send a channel list query for a username (e.g., forUsername=latenight), you get no branding settings at all. The branding settings aren't returned or populated.
Request
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=brandingSettings&forUsername=latenight&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
Response
{
// ... snip ...
"items": [
{
"kind": "youtube#channel",

"id": "UC8-Th83bH_thdKZDJCrn88g"
}]
}
I may be wrong, but I believe that, in v3 of the APIs, Channel IDs are the only way to get a full response, as the concept of a "username" doesn't really exist in the same way anymore. That is, newly created YouTube channels are linked to a G+ profile and can have a display name, but there isn't really any YouTube username anymore associated with such a channel.
Because usernames used to exist, though, and many channels are still known by them, the "forUsername" parameter is there to provide you the associated channelID and then issue the request for the branding settings with that.
Now, having said that, it's clear that the language on the API explorer page doesn't reflect that, and perhaps therein lies the problem; I'm taking my inferences from this documentation:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/working_with_channel_ids#v3
and from this bug report:
https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=4821&q=forUsername&colspec=API%20ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Stars%20Summary
But it's always possible, too, that I'm reading incorrectly and you're actually seeing a new bug. The only way to know for sure would be to file it (or perhaps someone on the team could comment here)?
