Instead of creating a dynamic link inside the iOS app, is it possible to create dynamic links directly from the Admin SDK? For example, I listen for the creation of a document in the Admin SDK, and then create a dynamic link with its path.
Thanks!
As you can see from the Firebase Admin SDK documentation, working with Dynamic Links is not among the many things it can do.
It's possible #ken, Firebase's docs just refer to it as "Email Action Links". Now it depends on what you want to do with the dynamic links...
If your use case falls under one of these 3 generic categories (email password links / sign in / reset links), it's done for you.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/email-action-links
If you want to go beyond that, the API specifies an ActionCodeSettings field which has the parameter dynamicLinkDomain. You may be able to send a dynamic link like this anyway, even if its not explicitly handled for you.
Alternatively, you could make the dynamic links manually via this method, and write the link out in your Admin SDK area (whether thats Node.js or where-ever you're listening for document creation).
https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/create-manually
You can do this but not directly from the Admin API. BigMcLargeHuge's answer is correct, but the documentation page from that answer doesn't explain how to generate short links (which is often more desirable).
The documentation that includes short links is here:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/rest
You just have to make a post request.

I'm working on integration of Firebase Dynamic link implementation support for iOS platform. I got some issue I have added here, but no clue till now.
Other then I observer, it showing url goo.gl at top-right.
How to do that?? Any suggestion what param I should choose(firebase) to display my site name instead goo.gl.
In one of question sample mention here, it showing site name.
There is no 'param' you can use to change that URL — it is the domain of the Universal Link. If you want to change what is displayed there, you need to change the domain you're using.
However, Firebase Dynamic Links do not currently support white labelled link domains so there is no way you can do this. You'll need to implement your own Universal Links system, or use Branch.io (full disclosure: I'm on the Branch team), which offers all the features of Dynamic Links in addition to domain white labelling.
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to use the ProfileAdminService (com.ibm.sbt.services.client.connections.profiles.ProfileAdminService) to get one user to follow another user.
I can see that you can do it via a put to /profiles/admin/atom/following.do but I was hoping to just use service.
I've investigated the FollowService but this only (at least that i can see) allows the current authenticated user to follow someone, but I want to be able to get any user to follow someone.
Thanks
The feature was not implemented in the IBM Social Business Toolkit SDK
you can look at the Code for ProfileAdminService and you'll see the methods do not include establishing a following relationship.
You need to use the REST API - http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/xpAPIViewer.xsp?lookupName=IBM+Connections+5.0+API+Documentation#action=openDocument&res_title=Following_a_person_using_the_Administration_API_ic50&content=apicontent
with the specified body. You need to craft the URL properly in order to get the feature to work via the REST API
I recently decided to start to take advantage of rich snippets to improve my personal website's content for the search engines and, IMHO most importantly, the site readers – hi, Mam! ;-). One of these are Google Authorship. Personally, I think the idea behind Google Authorship is a sound one: it helps to brings a sense of identity, personality and – arguably, most importantly – credibility to what is still largely an anonymous web.
Normally, I would link my article to Google Authorship using the following line of HTML:
<A REL="author" HREF="https://plus.google.com/112431363835029530079?rel=author">Jordan Clark</A>
However, in the instance of a website that publishes articles that are written by multiple authors, manually entering each another’s Google+ UID string starts to become a tiresome process.
Is is valid to do the following:
(a) Link to the author like so, using the script "author.php" (or other type of server-side script).
<A REL="author" HREF="/author.php?by=Alice&rel=author/[UID]?rel=author">Alice</A>
(b) The file "author.php" scripts simply do a quick check for Alice's (or whoever) User ID string provided by Google, and then uses a simple HTTP redirect header to pass this data to Google.
What I would like to know is:
Is it okay to use a local script to redirect to your Google+ user profile? (i.e. will it affect the PageRank of already indexed page or have any other unforeseen negative effects on new and indexed pages?)
Why do I not see more people linking with Google’s “prettified” version:
http://profiles.google.com/clarky.y2k?rel=author
Are there any drawbacks to using the “prettified” version of this method?
Ideally, I would like to use the intermediate PHP script, as I have already described above (see part 1). However, any tips, suggestions or other ways you may have implemented on your websites are very welcome!
For item (1), you can maintain your own app's profiles (author.php in your case) for your authors. On your own app's profile page (author.php), you would add a link from that page to Google and specify the rel="me" attribute on that link. So Alice's profile page might say something like "Find Alice on Google+.
This indirect authorship linking is supported. You also will need the link from Alice's Google+ profile that lists her as a contributor to your site. Once the linking is setup in both directions, authorship can start to show up. Authorship won't always display in all cases and can take some time for it to start appearing as Google would need to reindex your pages.
For item (2), I don't think the profiles URL will enable authorship. Some people use that URL as a vanity URL, but as far as I know it isn't supported for use with things like authorship, badges, etc.
You should test if your redirects are followed using the Rich Snippets Testing Tool: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets
rel="author" is no longer supported.
I'd like to use iOS to post on my users's facebook walls/tickers/news feeds. I learned that opengraph can be very specific about the actions users take inside my app, and I'd like to integrate them into my project.
I think I realize now I am going to need my own server running for opengraph actions to work ,right? or is this not a must? from what I understand, the server supplies the basic data to facebook for the post, like image, main text, secondary text etc...
Is my server needed just to supply the facebook posts' data? Is my server called everytime a facebook page is loaded with my app's contents? Or is it done only once, and facebook is copying the posts' content into facebook's servers?
What happens if my servers is not responsive etc?
The short answer: yes, you probably need a server.
The longer answer:
The facebook documentation on Open Graph is much better than what I can fit here. If you have not already, check out this page and its links: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/.
A published action on facebook is a tuple { user, action, object }. The types of actions and objects are defined in the facebook developer application (developers.facebook.com/apps).
The content of the post is generated by your iOS client. The post has data that references the action by name and the object by its URL.
The individual objects that your app defines are typically represented by pages on your web server. These pages are scraped by Facebook to extract metadata that defines the object, including images and text. I do not know of safe assumptions you can make about when the object's page will be scraped.
It is possible to create sample objects when you are editing your object types (developers.facebook.com/apps, create or edit one of your apps, "Edit Open Graph", "Add Sample Data"). However, because these are intended for experimentation, they are fairly limited in what you can do with them.
Is it possible to get (scrape) data from a site that requires logging in using YQL? If yes, please tell the procedure.
You'll need the user to authorize your access via OAuth, as YQL's docs mention. In addition to the docs pointed to by links from the URL I just mentioned, you can learn all about OAuth here, then get libraries to help you use OAuth, depending of course on the programming language you want to use, from the links listed here.
Depending on how the remote site is set up, you could use a simple POST (there is an open data table for that1) or you could create your own small, custom data table and use <execute>2 to send whatever headers (including Cookie:) you need over one or more GET/POST requests.
