I'm hooking up my application to the Tumblr API, and when I try and authorize I get the message "Grant this application read and write access to your Tumblr account?". I only want read access to users' accounts.
The Tumblr API docs say you can have read-only or read and write access.
Permission will either be for read and write or read access. Read and write access permits the application or web site to create and edit your posts.
How do I tell oAuth to only request read access from the Tumblr API?
With the Twitter API, apparently you can change the access level of your apps: http://dev.twitter.com/discussions/1274. I don't see anything like that in the Tumblr oauth admin settings: http://tumblr.com/oauth/apps
Here's a relevant thread in the Tumblr API discussion group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tumblr-api/HuDoDBvTIMI
Sadly I think this link needs updating as the only mention of read only is in the old API (v1): http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v1
The new API (v2) has no mention of read only and requires OAuth, no matter the mode: http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v2
It seems like there is no read only access in tumbler.

I would like to show a company's feed/updates/post on a website. I am the owner/admin of the LinkedIn page. Most of the related questions are old and uses V1. This similar questions also seems unanswered (LinkedIn Company Feed in API v2?). LinkedIn support are of no help and they instruct me to ask questions on Stackoverflow.
I created an App on LinkedIn and they assigned default permissions (r_emailaddress, r_liteprofile, w_member_social). But these permissions are of no use to me since I just want to show the company feeds on the website. Neither I want any user to login to LinkedIn nor I want to read the users/visitors email addresses or profile. Already went through a lot of their documentation but there is no clear mentioning of how to do this.
I read that company updates can be retrieved using the /ugcPosts API. GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts?q=authors&authors=List(url-encoded organization Urn). But in order to do that I need r_organization_social permission. How to get this permission?
Also in this scenario, since I just want to retrieve company posts, I can use 2 legged oauth: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/client-credentials-flow?context=linkedin/context instead of 3 legged oauth. But when I try to generate access token I get error "access_denied: This application is not allowed to create application tokens"
https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=xxxxx&client_secret=xxxxx&redirect_uri=http://xxxxx.local/&state=fasdfasdfs
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Thanks!
You need to apply for the LinkedIn Marketing Partner Program. You can do so by adding this product to the app you have created.
Once you have access, you can read the company feed using the following API endpoint:
https://api.linkedin.com/v2/shares?q=owners&owners=urn:li:organization:12345&sharesPerOwner=100&count=25
Hope this helps.
I'm building an app that shows users people they might be interested in talking to. If a user says he's interested in a person I show them, I want my app to create this person as a contact in my user's SalesforceIQ.
How do I do this? I see from the API documentation https://api.salesforceiq.com/#/ruby#documentation_contacts_create-a-contact that I can create a contact if I know my user's username and password, but of course I don't want my users to give me this information. Is there some way for the user to OAuth or whatnot by clicking a button that authorizes me to add things to their SalesforceIQ?
The SalesforceIQ API uses HTTP Basic authentication and does not currently support OAuth according to their documentation.
For a SalesforceIQ user to grant API access to your app to create contacts and for other privileges, the SalesforceIQ admin creates an API Key and API Secret for your app which is then used for the HTTP Basic authentication username and password. This way no user needs to provide your app with their credentials. This is configured in the SalesforceIQ admin UI under Settings > Integrations > Create New Custom Integration.
For the admin to provide these credentials to your app, you can have a UI where the SalesforceIQ admin enters this for your app to store and use with the API for their account.
This is described in the following places, briefly in the API Reference and in detail in a Help Desk article with screenshots of what the SalesforceIQ admin needs to do:
API Reference: Requesting Access
API Reference: Security and Authentication
Help Article: Set up API access
My company is trying to get requests to access non-public user sheets. Here is how we want to go about it:
The user receives a link which contains all the necessary authentication information , and when they open the link, it gives them an alert saying something like "Grant client_id/client_email access to google_sheet"?, and when they click "yes", we get access to read the dataset?
is something like this possible with the google-drive api ?
I have looked at the google-sheet api here and the google-drive-sdk here , but I have not found what I am looking for.
When your application requests non-public user data, it must include an authorization token. The token also identifies your application to Google. Check this Google documentation. Requests to the Google Sheets API for non-public user data must be authorized by an authenticated user. The details of the authorization process, or "flow," for OAuth 2.0 vary somewhat depending on what kind of application you're writing. Check this example.
I have been struggled with Youtube API and now I am stuck.
What I did is:
create a project at google developers console(https://console.developers.google.com)
enabled "YouTube Data API v3"
generate api key of iOS.
access to https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key={API KEY}&part=id&q=soccer by web browser and got the error message
Am I missing something?
I have read many questions but I cannot solved yet.
In step 3 "generate API key for IOS", the comment on the Google Developer Console web page says
Use of this key does not require any user action or consent, does not grant access
to any account information, and is not used for authorization.
Clicking on the *Learn More" button, it says:
Use an API key when your application is running on a server and accessing one of the following kinds of data:
•Data that the data owner has identified as public, such as a public calendar or blog.
•Data that is owned by a Google service such as Google Maps or Google Translate. (Access limitations may apply.)
I think you need to use the OAuth process rather than the API Key. Click on Learn More in the OAuth section of the Developer Console web page to learn about using OAuth with Apple iOS.
To create oAuth credentials for iOS:
Create new Client ID / Installed Application / iOS
I know it sounds a bit elementary, but I solved this same problem by going back into Google developer, creating a whole new project, new API key, and then it worked. Google quirk??
I want to use Twitter API so my program can post some tweets. To use it I have to register application in dev-center and get some parameters like "Consumer key", "Consumer secret" etc. Then I can use either REST API, or some libraries like twitter4j - OK, that's simple.
But the question is: who will be the "author" of such tweets? Or, in other words, where can I find them after posting? Will they be posted by application or by some user? I can't really figure out how particular user binds to registered API-application... Or how can I specify ("log-in") user to post tweet on behalf of?
The "author" is always going to be the authenticating user. From the Twitter API documentation for statuses/update:
Updates the authenticating user's current status, also known as tweeting.
To answer your other question about authenticating with another user's username/password, it is possible but you need to get permission from Twitter. You also still need to use OAuth. Check out the Twitter API OAuth documentation.
You need to have a twitter account to register your application. So your account will be the author of your posts.
