YouTube Custom URL not working - url

my YouTube channel 'MusicCityGaming' has around 2.4 thousand subscribers, and our channel has been around for about 6 months now. We have custom channel art as well, so we definately meet the eligibility requirements for getting a custom URL for my channel.
Obviously, we have had over 500 subscribers (the minimum amount to be eligible for a custom URL) for over 3-4 months now.... I was told by YouTube that I would get a notification in my channel dashboard or an email telling me that I am now eligible for a custom URL.... I have waited for several months now with no notification or email. Since YouTube doesn't have a support line, I can't contact them. Why am I not getting this notification? My subscribers are all complaining because of the long and obnoxious link.

I see that the MusicCityGaming does appear to meet all the requirements, including having a channel icon (which you did not mention in your original question, so I checked). Having said that, you should find your "Get a new custom URL" notification on your https://www.youtube.com/signin?action_prompt_identity=true&next=%2Fdashboard
NOTE: if you have more than one YouTube identity, as in a personal account in addition to a business account, be sure you using the latter.
If that does not work, try the alternative method for qualifying for a custom URL by linking and verifying MusicCityGaming.com with either your Google+ page or your YouTube channel page.
Hope that helps. If so, please mark your question as answered.

View Instagram From The Perspective Of A Celebrity, A Presidential Candidate, Or A Close Friend

In 2016, there was an app "Being" that performed this function:
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/brendanklinkenberg/this-app-shows-you-what-other-peoples-instagram-feed-looks-l
"Being is an app that lets its users see what Instagram is like for someone else. You log in with your own Instagram account, then choose who you want to be. It could be a friend, it could be a partner, it could be a celebrity, it could be a presidential candidate — anyone with a public account on the photo-sharing service can be accessed. You can even click a button and parachute into a completely randomly chosen person's feed.
The app uses Instagram's API to pull all of the "Following" data from a given account and organize it into a feed. So, if you've ever been curious about what Taylor Swift actually sees when she logs into Instagram — minus the many thousands of notifications from adoring fans — this is the app for you."
Unfortunately, Instagram has removed data access from the app, so it's no longer available. It annoys me that Instagram restricts access to its API.
Does anyone know how to recreate this function?
Can I do this in the Instagram developer environment?
It has to be possible - there has to be a way around it.
One idea I have is instead of using Instagram's API, the content from all of a user's followings is parsed.

Uber Request Full Access - Still pending from last 3 weeks

We implemented and Tested the uber in pricyfy App and we requested full Access to provide uber services to users 3 weeks ago.
Still Full Access is in pending state. We provided all required screenshots, Docs, videos, Flowchart...e.t.c, while requesting full access in developers dashboard .
May i know why this process is taking so much time. And Please help us how we can contact uber Team to enquire more about this.
This is not a question appropriate for StackOverflow. For something that is not a technical / coding question but rather specific to Uber, you could reach out via appropriate channels such as https://twitter.com/UberDevelopers/ or on the google group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/uber-developers
In terms of your specific question, I know that there were replies to the email associated with that Pricyfy app specifying that access approval was denied as the app is breaking the Uber API terms. Hope that helps clear up your question.

How to determine if an ad is showing using the adwords api

The adwords UI has a nice "Ad showing now?" dialog that says if an ad is showing or not, and in the case the ad isn't showing has a little message explaining why.
Is there a way to programmatically access this information directly on the ad?
as far as I know, there is no direct way, how to see exactly the same information as in web interface.
However, through API, you can download:
Keywords Approval Status
(https://developers.google.com/adwords/scripts/docs/examples/keywords)
and Ad status - CreativeApprovalStatus
(https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/ad-performance-report)
and maybe for ex. no. of impressions to each, and since you can download this up to 1000x a day (I would recommend less), you shall have less precise, but similar information as well.
API usage & limitations: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/ratesheet

linking to content available on itunes, amazon.com, google play and others

Okay so I'm building a web app that aggregates entertainment (TV shows, movies, other videos, podcast's ) and it's basically all sorted into genre's recent release etc. now I would like to link to legal places on the internet that you can buy this content ie. apple itunes store, amazon.com, google play and maybe some other's. Now for the itune's store i found this handy called link maker. Now my Problem is that if I have a couple of thousand title's I have to enter each one and then again for each country to get each link... Okay I can write a script php curl or python's scrapy but is there anything similar tool for amazon? Is there a better tool then the one I have altogether for apple? I figured I can't be the first person who's run into this problem and just looking for any help, yes/no's that anyone else has found useful as my last 4 hours of googling has returned fairly little minus the link maker tool. Ideally an api but i'm now doubting those exist
iTunes offers an API for what you are attempting to do - see the documentation here:

Facebook: "URL could not be liked because it has been blocked" error in iOS app

I'm working on an iOS app that allows the user to like a Facebook page within the app. I've implemented this using FacebookLikeView. During the course of testing this functionality, I've liked and unliked the same page multiple times. Unfortunately, this seems to have triggered Facebook's spam detection. Now, when trying to like a page using the like button displayed by FacebookLikeView, the following error is presented: "URL could not be liked because it has been blocked".
Based on reports of the same problem found by searching the web, I've filled out this form to request that Facebook remove the block. However, I've received no response from them. I'm not sure how to proceed. Has anyone else run into this issue and successfully solved it?
With billions of pieces of content being shared on Facebook every month and bad actors constantly targeting the people who use Facebook, preventing spam isn't easy. Just as a community relies on its citizens to report crime, we rely on you to let us know when you encounter spam, which can be anything from a friend request sent by someone you don't know to a message that includes a link to a malicious website.
From : Explaining Facebook Spam Detection
This is no answer and what Donn Lee said is maybe the best answer.
My best guess at this is to send them lot information regarding you testing the app rather than abusing the system. You could try screenshots, contact info and explain what you are testing it for.
Try : Facebook Help Center
Developer Help : Rate Limits, Restrictions and Disables
Try filing a bug on the Facebook Developers Bugreporter.
If it's been a week and the site is still blocked, submit your site on this form.
if it comes down to no other option, there is also unrelated contact info on Facebook Newsroom, including the e-mail address press#fb.com.
