Hi I'm trying to get Twitter ID by Screen name..
Screen name is: KTutorials
Here is my link to get Twitter Id
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/ids.json?cursor=-1&screen_name=ktutorials&count=5000
But I'm getting this error.
{"errors":[{"code":215,"message":"Bad Authentication data."}]}
Here is my Twitter link https://twitter.com/ktutorials
Any Help?
I can see that you are using Twitter API to GET followers/ids method. GET request for this method require OAuth Signature. This means that you should have Twitter App created and if not, you should have create one here.
Subsequently, you should visit GET followers/ids documentation page, and get OAuth Signature using the "OAuth Signature Generator" located at bottom of page.
Bad Authentication data tells that you it can't do the operation due to the bad authentication.
From API V1.1, all requests should be authenticated first. So, create
an app in Twitter console and put the important keys like Access keys
and Consumer keys.
If you feel you are authenticated user, then re-generate your token and give another try!

I am trying to determine if page access tokens used with the messenger api are permanent. Seeing this code in one of their examples, which indicates to me that they are using the token as a constant value :
access_token: PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN
I get the Page Access Token shown on my facebook app dashboard in this way:
I log into facebook, go to developer.facebook.com, select my messenger app, then on the dashboard go to Products > Messenger > Settings and can select my page and then get a token.
Can I put that value in a properties file and then use it indefinitely with my application when getting/sending messages to and from the page?
I am getting a bit confused regarding the documentation around other tokens, like user tokens and login tokens vs. page tokens.
Editing to add that I am using the page access token in order to make a POST request to this url : https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/messages in order to reply to a message sent to my page by a user.
I believe I have solved this and wanted to post in case anyone else had the same confusion.
I assumed I needed to make a GET request to a facebook url in my code to get a new token before each Request to GET or POST to the messenger API. Using the information in the links above, I learned how to get an extended token here:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/<my app id here>?method=GET&path=me%2Faccounts&version=v2.10
I then can use that ID indefinitely as it is supposed to not expire. I am going to assume it is OK to put this id into my properties file, if anyone has opinions on a better place to store this token value I would be interested.
Extended Page Tokens are valid forever.
You need to use a User Token, extend the User Token and then get an Extended Page Token with the Extended User Token.

I want to implement social media log-in feature to my site where I have to allow users to use their existing Google or Facebook credentials to log-in to my site.
I read some articles and found learned that for Google log-in, I need to use Google+ API. So I added some Javascript and HTML code in my HTML page and tried to log in but I am getting following error.
401. That’s an error.
Error: invalid_client
Application: mytestapplication
You can email the developer of this application at: shekhar#gmail.com
no registered origin
I tried to create new OAuth ID but already there are too many IDs and I am not able to delete any one of them. I have tried all the client-id present for this application but none of the client-id is working.
Can anyone please tell how do I implement sign-in with google feature? How to delete and create new client-id?
The last line is important:
no registered origin
On the API Credentials page, click Edit Settings under the Client ID for web application section. Put your URL there (http://example.com).
I'm building a feature in my web service to let people enter their Facebook URL into a field. Because few people know their FB user names or public profile URLs, I'd like to provide an interface to assist.
In brief: is there a way to get a list of matching users's public URLs by providing a name alone?
I have tried examining the Facebook Open Graph API; this appears to require knowing the user ID of the person, or the user ID.
I have tried using Mechanize and Nokogiri to automate the process, logging into Facebook as myself and accessing the search feature (http://facebooks.com/search/results.php?q=Person%20Name), but it's not returning any data when attempted this way. I suspect Facebook is using some kind of joojoo to keep me out that way.
Anyone have any suggestions?
With a valid access token, you should be able to query https://graph.facebook.com/me/ to get their ID, name, and public URL (Here's an example using the Graph API Explorer).
There's a search endpoint in the graph API, unfortunately it requires valid user access token.
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=<name>&type=user&access_token=<user access token>
However it could be yours even, by getting a long living access token it would work for 60 at most, but it's probably a bad idea.
The type could be user, post, event, group, page.
Having done additional research, it appears to not be possible to get a user's public profile page without their permission. Hooray for Facebook privacy settings, I guess.
However, getting an access token is easier than I imagined it would be. Facebook offers an example on their site for getting user permission to access their account, implemented entirely on the client side. Nice and easy; the access token is returned in the URL.
The only downside here is you have to create an application on Facebook, at http://developers.facebook.com/apps. For my purposes, the "Website with Facebook Login" was the application type.
From that point, you can use that token to interrogate the Graph API with ease, as both Warpling and complex857 have suggested.
Once authenticated to Twitter via OAuth I did not see a good call to get your username.
How is this supposed to work? I'd like to pull back things like Twitter username, firstname, lastname, etc... basic profile stuff. Should the OAuth handshake give me my username?
Try this:
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/account/verify_credentials
It'll show you all information (you'ld normally get of any other user) of the OAuth-authenticated-account =)!
First, Twitter includes the screen_name parameter in the access token response. Second, you can call http://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.json to get the full profile which will also include the name (JSON key 'name'). Twitter does not provide email addresses.
Have you tried any of these libraries? I've tried just about all of the php ones and all that I tried had examples on how to get the user data.
i want create something like "link_to" which can link to "request for permission" in facebook, so if user click "allow" then redirect to my site and i can get their data.
my question is how to create a "link" like that? so i can get access token from facebook user. (i had register my app)
thx..
Better explained here:

It's quite simple. Just redirect the user to the Facebook Auth Page:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?
client_id=...&
redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/callback&
scope=user_photos,user_videos,publish_stream
There're several optional parameters you can pass to get the required site.
For further Information just read the corresponding paragraph on the Facebook Documentation ("Authenticating Users in a Web Application"):
