I want to trigger an Ifttt receipe on keywords appearing in a subreddit.
When building a receipe Ifttt starts connecting the Reddit service and requires to enter credentials of the Reddit account.
Since I don't have a Reddit account I want to read Reddit without an account.
Is this possible? How? And if not: why?
You will need to have a Reddit account to use IFTTT with Reddit since it will connect to that account and create an 'app' to use the API. However, a Reddit account is quick to make since you don't need to verify your email!

So I applied as a Twitter Dev to make a bot that tweets stuff. About two days later, I got access. When I ran the code with the tokens it gave me, it posts from my account.
My question: Is there a way for me to make it send as another account (a bot account) without me having to apply again?
Yes, you can use the Sign-in with Twitter flow to authenticate a different user to your app, and then use the Access Token and Access Token Secret for that user to post to that account. This is the correct way to implement things - you should not be applying for multiple developer accounts.
You can also use tools like twurl or another CLI tool to
https://github.com/twitter/twurl/
https://github.com/smaeda-ks/tw-oob-oauth-cli

Did you get elevated access from tweeter or Essential? I have a stack error:
You currently have Essential access which includes access to Twitter API v2 endpoints only.
If you need access to this endpoint, you’ll need to apply for Elevated access via the Developer Portal.
It's hard to get Elevated now.
I need to authenticate to an API using OAUTH2, however, it has to be made programmatically, no user typing stuff in a browser is permitted.
This seems like such a simple use case, but I haven't found anything online, the only thing close to it was this post, and the only answer is "yeah, you don't want to use a web browser, but what if you do?"... This doesn't help.
So, please, opening a web browser is not an option, I just want to know if Google provides any way to authenticate purely through code.
Thank you!
In order to achieve your goal, I would like to propose to use the Service account. When the Service account is used, the access token can be retrieved without using the browser.
As the points for using the Service account, please check the following points.
The Service account is not your own Google account.
For example, as one of several situations, if you want to manage a file in your Google Drive using the Service account, please share the file with the Service account. By this, the Service account can access to the file in your Google Drive.

Several cases using the Service account
Google Drive Access - Service Account or OAuth - To read/write user files
Google service account not being authorized for calendar API
Service Account for google sheets returns not found
I would like to show a company's feed/updates/post on a website. I am the owner/admin of the LinkedIn page. Most of the related questions are old and uses V1. This similar questions also seems unanswered (LinkedIn Company Feed in API v2?). LinkedIn support are of no help and they instruct me to ask questions on Stackoverflow.
I created an App on LinkedIn and they assigned default permissions (r_emailaddress, r_liteprofile, w_member_social). But these permissions are of no use to me since I just want to show the company feeds on the website. Neither I want any user to login to LinkedIn nor I want to read the users/visitors email addresses or profile. Already went through a lot of their documentation but there is no clear mentioning of how to do this.
I read that company updates can be retrieved using the /ugcPosts API. GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts?q=authors&authors=List(url-encoded organization Urn). But in order to do that I need r_organization_social permission. How to get this permission?
Also in this scenario, since I just want to retrieve company posts, I can use 2 legged oauth: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/client-credentials-flow?context=linkedin/context instead of 3 legged oauth. But when I try to generate access token I get error "access_denied: This application is not allowed to create application tokens"
https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=xxxxx&client_secret=xxxxx&redirect_uri=http://xxxxx.local/&state=fasdfasdfs
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Thanks!
You need to apply for the LinkedIn Marketing Partner Program. You can do so by adding this product to the app you have created.
Once you have access, you can read the company feed using the following API endpoint:
https://api.linkedin.com/v2/shares?q=owners&owners=urn:li:organization:12345&sharesPerOwner=100&count=25
Hope this helps.
I'm confused about the Client ID I have to enter here. I found a few similar answers, but they are all old and don't answer my question.
So I have to enter my Client ID's here:
PayPalMobile.initializeWithClientIds(forEnvironments: [PayPalEnvironmentProduction: "HERE", PayPalEnvironmentSandbox: "HERE"])
But I don't know if I have to create REST API credentials or v.zero SDK credentials
I tried REST API first, but it didn't work.
And do I only need client ID's? So I don't have to enter the secrets to the email addresses anywhere?
All you need is to go to paypal developer account then
1- Go to Dashboard.
2- Create app.
3- you will find two tabs(sandbox and production) each one will give you an id to test on either modes.
you should also create testing accounts to make testing payments in sandbox mode
Here is a good documentation for Paypal mobile.
Note: I am posting this because I don't even know what to Google search. I know we're all about thorough research before asking these questions. Any help would be appreciated.
Scenario: User writes a text post from my app and when they submit it, the content is added to a Parse.com class (I know how to do this) and simultaneously it is tweeted from a designated twitter account (that does not belong to the user) let's say #MyCoolAppThatTweets.
In other words, I don't want the user via my app to be permanently logged into #MyCoolAppThatTweets twitter account, but have one-time access to send a tweet from it.
Another way to phrase this question would be: How can my app log into a specific twitter account whose credentials I can "bake" into the app without compromising the security of that twitter account.
I am already aware that normally, users of an iOS app wouldn't automatically want their content being tweeted. For the project I'm making, this is not going to be a concern (it's a secret).
If you need more information or if I need to post this elsewhere, please let me know!
From your question I am not sure if you are familiar with "Twitter part" of Parse.com and Twitter REST API. If not please start by reading this https://www.parse.com/docs/ios/guide#users-twitter-users (or take a look on official Twitter way by using their plugin called Fabric: https://dev.twitter.com/)
Since you mentioned PFUser I will describe you how to achieve it by using Parse.com API.
First your user must be logged in to Twitter account.
I suppose that your user is already logged in into your app as a PFUser so best way to log him into some Twitter account is by linking Twitter account with existing PFUser - https://www.parse.com/docs/ios/guide#users-linking.
After that you can post tweets through user's Twitter account (if permission was granted). I recommend doing that using Parse.com Twitter API calls https://www.parse.com/docs/ios/guide#users-login-amp-signup. To create API requests you need official Twitter REST API which can be obtained here https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api.
