Eligibility requirements
To get a custom URL for your channel, your account needs to be in good standing and meet a few other requirements:
500 100 or more subscribers
Channels is at least 30 days old
Channel has uploaded a photo for the channel icon
Channel has uploaded channel art
You can also qualify for a custom URL by linking and verifying your official webpage with your channel or +Page.
Get a Custom URL for your channel
Once you’ve qualified for a custom URL, you’ll receive an email notification and a notification on your Creator Studio dashboard. To get your custom URL:
Sign in to YouTube and navigate to the Creator Studio.
Look for your “Get a new custom URL” notification and click in the included link
You’ll be redirected to claim a custom URL.
You’ll see the custom URL(s) you’ve been approved for. These cannot be changed. You may also need to add a few letters or numbers to make the URL unique to you.
Click the box next to “I agree to the Terms of Service” then click Change URL in the bottom left corner.
This URL will be linked to both your YouTube channel and your Google+ identity. Once your URL has been approved, you cannot request to change it. When you're certain, click Confirm choice.
Change capitalization or accents of your custom URL
If you want to change the capitalization or accents/diacritics of your custom URL, follow these steps:
Sign in to Google+. Place your cursor in the top left corner for the Google + main menu and then select the page or profile associated with your channel
Click the About tab, and under Links > Google+ URL, click Edit.
A box will appear allowing you to make edits to the formatting.
Remember, you can only change the capitalization and diacritics of the URL, not the URL itself.
YouTube Help at https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6180214 describes in detail the following three types of YouTube URL:
1.
ID-based URL
Example: youtube.com/channel/UCUZHFZ9jIKrLroW8LcyJEQQ
This is the standard URL that all YouTube channels use.
2.
Custom URL
Example: youtube.com/c/YouTubeCreators
A custom URL is a shorter, easy-to-remember URL...
3.
Legacy username URL
Example: youtube.com/user/partnersupport
Depending on when your channel was created, it may have a username. Usernames are no longer required for channels today...
So (as I can understand) it is not possible to create youtube.com/user/... now.

I am new to deep linking in iOS and I am trying to make sign-in work with a magic link.
The links that the users would receive in their email inbox would be something like this:
https://subdomain.domain.com/?autoLogin=XXXX...XXXX
I want to extract the auto login token and make sure when users click into this link, it takes the user directly to the app.
What path should I put in the apple-app-site-association file?
Currently I have /?autoLogin= and it's not working.
In your URL, ?autoLogin= is a query item and not part of the path.
In your apple-app-site-association you should just need to set the path to /. The ? is messing it up since it's used to match any single character in the string.
If you want to have a specific path, you'll have to update your url to something like https://subdomain.domain.com/autoLogin?token=XXXX...XXXX, then you could add /autoLogin to apple-app-site-association.
I'm building a facebook app which uses open graph to publish stories. I can successfully publish the stories but what I want to do is to customize the app link in the story(circled in the given image).
Currently my link to "posted via APP_NAME" is referring to the Facebook appcenter page of my app. All I want to do is to customize the link and make it refer to my personal website. How can I do that?
Do I have to specify any extra parameters while making a POST request to facebook??
As far as I know this link leads to one of:
Canvas URL if you have a canvas app
Site URL if you have no canvas app just website with fb login
You can set both in App Settings (https://developers.facebook.com/apps/)
Looking through the logs it's impossible to distinguish it from people just accessing the app.
Add a canvas application with an address of page with this code:
<script>top.location.href = 'http://your-website.com'</script>
Apologies, I can only include 2 URLs as a new user so I have had to econonomize.
I am having a problem where the user object in Facebook's Graph API is not returning a profile image correctly. I can only find one case of this problem. For all other uses I have tested it appears to be working correctly. The profile image doesn't seem to have any privacy settings, since I'm able to view it normally from the profile page.
I am using Facebook's Graph API to load the profile image for a user/page by putting this URL into an IMG tag:
https://graph.facebook.com/[profile-id]/picture?type=square
This has worked in all cases I found during testing, including pages and users. For one of our users deploying the app on a page, however, the URL is loading the question mark image, as though there is no profile image for the page. Their page clearly has a profile image, as you can see here:
http://www.facebook.com/EgansRestaurantPub
But if you click through to the Egan's Calendar tab, you'll see the question mark image. The image URL is the following, which returns the question mark:
https://graph.facebook.com/400488613342471/picture?type=square
I've checked the ID using the following link format, to ensure it's the right ID for the page:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/[anything]/400488613342471
My first theory was that there were privacy settings on the profile image, but my personal account (as a non-fan of the page) is able to view the profile image. My only other idea is that perhaps it is because the page uses a short URL (EgansRestaurantPub) that doesn't include the page ID. For similar pages, I found using the following worked:
[graphurl]/cocacola/picture
[graphurl]/BMW/picture
But when using the same method for my client's page, it still returns a question mark.
Does anyone know why this is not returning the profile image for this page? This is the only page where I have found this problem.
I am using the PHP SDK and a bit of the JS SDK. I would prefer to avoid making another call to the API that would delay loading the page. That's why I liked being able to throw the URL straight into the IMG tag. But I will make another call if there is no other way.
It seems there is some kind of restriction as mentioned in the user document (picture field):
access_token required for pages with whitelisting/targeting
restrictions, otherwise no access_token required
You just need to supply a user access_token for this to work:
https://graph.facebook.com/400488613342471/picture?type=square&access_token=XXX
To test this, you can directly get an access_token from the Access Token Tool.
I am an ios app developer. We have implemented a custom URL scheme 'my_app://section_name' or so where if the link is opened in the user's mobile browser, it will redirect the user to a specific section in the app.
We would like to be able to tweet these URLs and have users on their mobile device click on them to open up the app, however it just can click once
(when you click close , maybe you click wrong then you want to click it second but it does not work )
I hope this isn't too silly of a question. Thanks
Make sure to check the tweet body after it have been posted.
This may be due of an URL shortener, especially if the tweet is posted from the iOS 5 Twitter framework.
I'm having a similar issue with url schemes. We can include them in emails and text messages, and they highlight and work properly.
Unfortunately, when we do the same with a tweet, the iOS Twitter client fails to recognise the special URL scheme and so the user cannot tap on it to open our app.
Pretty big oversight, methinks. Anyone else had any joy including special URL scheme links in tweets?
A solution that you should consider involves not sharing the URI scheme directly, but rather creating a page on your web server to handle this. In fact, if you want to be able to share full URI schemes with paths, you're better off building a web server to dynamically generate a page with a URI scheme redirect.
This is a over-simplified representation of what we built at Branch. This includes some code to get you started though the web server will require a bit of setup not described here.
instead of testapp://some.data.here, you'll link to http://yoursite.com/hosted-redirect/some.data.here.
your server should listen at the route /hosted-redirect, grab some.data.here and build the following page (body here):
(source: derrrick.com)
So your server will have to generate and respond with this page, filling in some.data.here, anytime http://yoursite.com/hosted-redirect/some.data.here is requested.
A lightweight node app could do this with a single file.
I added to my iOS application option to detect and response to custom URL schemes to launch application ( http://iosdevelopertips.com/cocoa/launching-your-own-application-via-a-custom-url-scheme.html ).
Link is working perfectly on different sites (using href), but I'm having problem with Facebook. If I'm trying to post link (using Graph API) which looks like:
myapp://blabla
Facebook return error:
The url you supplied is invalid
And for feed with link return
link URL is not properly formatted.
I can't just post url as a message because it's not being detected as a URL and appear like text only.
Is there any way to post to Facebook wall with custom links?
Edit:
I have an idea, but I don't know if it gonna work. Putting
myapp://blabla directly into address field in mobile browser is launching application so probably accessing an webpage (like http://www.mywebpage/myapp) with only redirection to
myapp://blabla gonna work too, but is Facebook gonna accept that link?
I think your suggestion in the edit is the correct method, and should work. However applications like spotify seem to use an intersticial page which fires the "app link" with javascript, the advantage to this approach is that you can use that page to "sell" the app to users who don't have it and also provide lovely open graph tags for people who want to share it.
