In my iOS application i am using paypal, so, when user going through signup process i need to verify his paypal account is vaild or not.
i am using the rest API but didn't see any API related to this.
Still there is no way in REST API's to check the validity of a PayPal account by just providing the email address and name .As of now it can only be done using "GetVerifiedStatus" classic API .

I have logged into cobrand and user for my yodlee account and am able to fetch the list of providers. I am not using a server at my end of the app. I am not able to login the user through the Add Account Post Method in the Providers section. I intend to get the Users mutual funds data by logging in the user and displaying the data in my app. Is this realisable as I am unable to figure out the callBack after successful Login. Any help would be appreciated. APIs Yodlee
You need to use POST /providerAccounts API for initiating add account. Please note this API will just initiate add account, and you need to check the status of this process, using GET API; you can use the API flow mentioned here.
You can use Fastlink 2.0 instead of using APIs if you want to quickly integrate add account process.
I was just wondering if there was a simple function to create a customer in the Stripe API from my app in Swift? Instead of having to create a manual HTTP post request to my server, "createCustomer.php", and then retrieve the results (This is what I do right now).
I tried to search this up on Google, but I can't seem to find anything. I simply want the user to save their card details for later user, that's why I am in need of creating a customer.
Thanks in advance!
Except for payment information tokenization (which is done via Stripe's iOS or Android SDKs in mobile apps, and Checkout or Stripe.js in web apps), all API requests must be sent from a backend server.
The reason is that aside from token creation, all other API requests must be sent using your secret API key. You cannot embed or share the secret API key with your mobile app in any way, as it would then be possible for an attacker to retrieve it and use it to issue API requests on your behalf.
This is why there is no Swift function to create a customer -- the customer creation must be done from your backend, using the server-side language of your choice.
Currently I want to authenticate my user using facebook on IOS platform. I want to use node.js as the custom authentication, so that i could make it more flexible. My theory right now is to use node.js and passport-facebook via token, but my questions right now
1) Do i need to use Facebook ios sdk together with node.js /passport? or simply just serve it via node.js/passport https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios
2) If the user already installed facebook on his iphone, how do i access the token?
This is my first time on creating an iphone app + facebook login, any advice would be highly appreciated. It is a project that I'm working on right now
Thank you
You can authenticate the user on the phone with the iOS SDK. That way the user will get the native "login with Facebook" flow and your application will get hold of the Facebook token. Then you take this token, pass it to your node backend (together with the email address of the user), and you can use passport/NodeJS to verify that the token belongs to the email address. If so, the user is authenticated and you can store the token together with the email (and other user related custom data) in you node node application for use later on and to fetch an existing user in your node application when they log in again.
For the rest of the authentication you can use something like JWT (Json Web Token), https://www.npmjs.com/package/passport-jwt, to secure your backend and to know which user sent the request.
I have few questions on paypal's recurring payments, I went trough the paypal documentation to find some answers but, it didn't help me much.
Here are the stuffs that I need to know, hope someone can help me on these.
I'm using paypal's standard payment account. So far I managed to create recurring payments with paypal by posting NVP's to paypal from merchant website to paypal.
Now I need to show recurring payment profiles on merchant web site. So that customers can cancel, modify recurring payments from merchant website without redirecting to paypal.Is this possible?
Think I should use paypal's SOAP API for this as I can't get the job done with NVP API. So I installed active merchant as described in this post. But I always get an error
This transaction is invalid. Please
return to the recipient's website to
complete your transaction using their
regular checkout flow.
from paypal and it never send me the token back.
Also I got this on my log
Security header is not
valid
Is it because I use sandbox API credentials or is it because I can't use paypal's standard account with SOAP API?
Usually the "security header is not valid" response comes from using sandbox credentials in the live environment or vice-versa. AM will use the sandbox when your Rails app is in development mode, so be sure you are using the right set of credentials.
When I was integrating PayPal's recurring payment profiles into the SaaS Rails Kit (using ActiveMerchant) I ended up just canceling a user's current profile and creating a new one when they wanted to change their subscription.
I am using RPXnow.com authentication solution for a rails app and am now at the point of wanting to develop Facebook integration features using Facebook Connect and the client api. What I am unclear on from RPXnow docs is the level of integration their solution provides. When a user connects via rpx using their FB creds, are they now using Facebook Connect? Can I make calls to the client api from my app? Do I need to use the RPX api to access the FB client APIs?
Anyone with experience using both who can shed light here, much appreciated.
dnewman,
Great question. Facebook Connect is simply a javascript layer built on top of the Facebook Platform APIs. RPX uses the platform APIs to authenticate the user, and after they have signed in, you may safely use the native Facebook Connect javascript to implement FB specific features on your site like posting activity back to the News Feed. You just need to set your connect URL on the facebook developer site and drop in the Facebook Connect javascript and then start implementing. After authenticating via RPX, the user will already have approved and "connected" to your website, and you'll have access to the breadth of Connect directly.
Also, if you have an RPX Plus/Pro account you can make simple RPX API calls to set a user's status and post activity on Facebook (and Twitter/MySpace).

Once you've hooked up RPXNow (JanRain) single sign-on, you can follow the Facebook documentation. The Server-side Personalization example is in PHP but the idea is the same in any language.
// Fetch the user's friends
$friends = json_decode(file_get_contents(
'https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token=' .
$cookie['oauth_access_token']), true);
$friend_ids = array_keys($friends);
The key point to note is that the $cookie['oauth_access_token'] referenced in this example needs to be the string returned by the RPXNow sign-on API response in the JSON field
['accessCredentials']['accessToken']
Hint: from your RPXNow dashboard, check out the Test Sign-In Widget page under Resources to see where that token is in the response.
Initially I thought this would be hampered by having your Base Domain set to rpxnow.com in your Facebook Application settings, but this is not the case. It works fine.
