I would like to add a location to google data base using Google API place action. For the same they are providing the api which is given below.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/add/json?sensor=true&key=AddYourOwnKeyHere.
But when i tried using the same in iPhone objective C i get the error REUEST_DENIED. I have tried using server api key as mentioned in the tutorial.Can any one please help me to solve this out?
Seems that it is currently impossible to do this via API.
The process is so complicated and secured like this below
http://www.wikihow.com/Add-Places-to-Google-Maps
which is very unlikely that an API is opened for this currently

I am really stuck and I need your help.
I am working on my web and iOS application. I used also Django to save users to database.
Login function is already working on my web (HTML) but I really don ´t know how to create function to iOS app (Swift).
I enclose also screens of Api HTML and Swift Code. Now it's working only with Facebook. User can sign in using Facebook and order something using iOS App.
I would really like to do the same but with Login Function (not using FB). I hope you can help me. I don't know how to do it and I've read a lot of web.
I would be really glad to you if you can help me.
Please HELP !
Thank you so much.

This is very broad. There is a lot of questions that need to be answered before I can provide a solid answer but I'll give you an idea on what you have to do.
API
First of all you need an api that serializes the data from your database so it acts as a layer between your app and backend. If you are using Django then take a look at Django Rest Framework which will help you achieve that.
Networking Framework
After setting up your api you need a networking layer in Swift to help you communicate with your api. You can use Swift's URLSession or you can download Alamofire to make things a bit simpler. What a networking layer basically does is fetch the json provided by your Django app and changes it to a Dictionary so you can use it.
In your django Application, you are to specify restframework Authentication to Token. You can get more info about token with django rest auth.
In your iOS.What you need to do is create an AuthServices model. Now in your AuthServices model, you create your login function.
For your login function I assume you are very familiar with Alamofire so you make an API request which would take your parameters and your header which I assume contains a token should also be specified.
Keep your server running and run the application locally if you wish and take username and password with text fields. This should help you go on with it.
I'm building a project in Vue, and I have Auth working on front end, but now I want to save some user data on Firebase Database and I am not sure how to do that using functions since I am doing a server-less backend.
I tried to find an example on how to be able to pass data from client-side to functions api but I couldn't find any.
Looking forward to receive any help from someone,
Regards,
Cheers
Firebase provides you a REST api to do this, check out their documentation in this link.
Background: I'm trying to use social oath providers to sign up and sign in on an iOS app. I believe MVC's API is the right way of doing this, but I have a few holes.
The MVC API has a GET /Account/ExternalLogin API call that returns valid external login providers, (often social) login options.
How should I use this from iOS?
Additional parts to this question:
I'm not familiar with the x-auth-token header but I think I'll need to use this in combination with the JSON payload itself. How do I use this?
Buried in the payload is a double encoded URL that I can use with something like GTM oAuth. Is this something I need to decode twice before I use it?
GTM oAuth library looks like a candidate library to use to help out.
Is ExternalLogins the right place to start? If I try and login from the app then the app needs to know client secrets and the like. Shouldn't these be managed safely in the API?
I'm happy to refine this question if it's not up to scratch before you reject it.
Thanks!
I did some web search and found nothing for the question i have with me, so I'm posting it here. I wants to build a simple Ruby On rails web application which will be used to display the search result from a third party ebsite without any API avilable. (ex: For example when a user type a keyword and click search i need to get the response from google.com and display that to user in my application).
How can i achieve this?
I hope scrapping is not an advised solution.Is there any advisable techniques(like SOAP 0r REST API).
NOTE: The website is a public government website.i need to access the search from my application(It has no built in API for this purpose).
Google has a search api that you can use https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/overview
and there is a gem available.
https://github.com/google/google-api-ruby-client
It's now trivial to create a web app that sits atop Parse.com. Now that I have this webapp, I want to expose parts of it to other developers via an oauth accesible api. So, they can develop an app that lets my site users 'give them permission' via oauth and they can now access the api.
How would I start going about doing this?
Update: After #Mubix response, I felt the following clarification would help
Currently I am accessing Parse from the server via a REST api, to get around any javascript security issues re:api keys etc. So, the api would be served of a server other than Parse. Also, the server code is in javascript / nodejs. I came across https://github.com/jaredhanson/oauth2orize which seems a likely candidate, was wondering how others are doing it and if anyone has actually gone a further step and integrated Parse access.
Hmmm .. Intereesting question!
Legal:
First of all their ToS doesn't seem to prohibit what you are trying to do but you should read it carefully before you start.
Implementation:
While parse doesn't provide feature to build your own APIs you could implement something yourself. You could treat the third party developers as users of your app. And you can use the ACL to control access.
Problems:
I don't see any way to implement oAuth entirely within parse.
How will third party apps access your API? Ideally you would like them to use a REST interface but with the parse.com REST API you won't be able to manage access to different parts of your data.
Conclusion:
It seems like too much trouble to implement the API entirely within parse. I would suggest that you write a thin API layer that takes care of auth and uses parse as the backend. You can use one of the service side libraries available for parse. eg. PHP Library, Node Parse.
