Fitbit oauth2 public API stopped working. Giving error - Sorry Its not you.. Its us

Few months back I prepared a demo on Fitbit oauth2 public APIs in which I used to log in with a particular user and get his activities. It was working fine. But recently, I opened the demo and tried to log in with the same user but it is not getting logged in and repeatedly giving me this error.
I tried to change the client secret key of this demo app which I registered on Fitbit but nothing happened. I am stuck here.
There is problem with the format of Callback URL. I think Fitbit has recently changed it.
Earlier, the format of Callback URL was "demoapp://" but now
it will be "demoapp://something"
Please refer to my answer on other question.
Setting up Fitbit api in xcode Swift

{"error":{"code":"RESTAPINotEnabledForComponentSharedMailbox","message":"REST API is not yet supported for this mailbox."}}

I dont know where to post this, so im posting it here.
So Im trying out the Office 365 API. I've been following a tutorial : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office365/howto/authenticate-and-use-services
I downloaded the sample from: https://github.com/OfficeDev/O365-WebApp-SingleTenant
I believe ive set everything up correctly as it compiles, runs and Im able to login - However when I click on the "My Contact" link, I get this error:
{"error":{"code":"RESTAPINotEnabledForComponentSharedMailbox","message":"REST
API is not yet supported for this mailbox."}}
Has anyone had any experience using this ?
Thanks.
The error means the user doesn't have the mailbox in EXO cloud. Can you verify where the users mailbox is?

Unable to be connected to Quickbooks through Intuit App Centre | Playground

Does this link work?
https://appcenter.intuit.com/Playground/OAuth/IA
I am trying to get my QB online token secret required for working with a ruby gem. I have a valid QB account and I have entered my app's consumer key & secret. All I am trying to do is follow the instructions required to get the example app working from
https://github.com/minimul/qbo_api
Every time I click on the Connect to Quickbooks button, I just get an error message.
Oops! An error has occurred.
Please close this window and try again.
Error Code: no_access_to_this_field
Message: Team Intuit IA Application not allowed to get access to QuickBooks
I have changed the urls in my app and I still cannot get past the error message. I am at a loss since this seems to be a very basic step to start working with the gem. Please tell me the newbie mistake I am making.
Is there any other SDK I need to install? I do not have a Desktop version...just the online version.
So if anyone here happens to not figure out this answer already, its because I set the "Access Token Duration:" option on the Intuit Playground to 120 seconds...the default option.
I changed it to 1200 seconds by mistake, and the login works just fine now! I don't understand why that works, so if someone could answer that I could understand it better!
Thanks #William Lorfing
This can happen if you are using the playground to generate Oauth tokens for either QuickBooks or Payments access and you are not setting the correct data source.

"Error while reading message" when trying to obtain an OAuth request token

I'm trying to develop a desktop application to access an API exposed by Groundspeak for geocaching.com. The API requires the use of OAuth.
After finally figuring out why my message signature was being rejected (I had to double-encode my callback URL, after reading somewhere that double-encoding causes problems), I now receive the following error from Groundspeak when attempting to get a request token:
oauth_error_message=Error%20while%20reading%20message%20%27DotNetOpenAuth.OAuth.Messages.UnauthorizedTokenRequest%27%20parameter%20%27oauth_callback%27%20with%20value%20%27http%253A%252F%252Fwww.mysite.com%252F%27.
Not a very descriptive error message. What's the problem here? Groundspeak uses DotNetOpenAuth on its server. Seems like my callback URL might be causing some issue, but I don't have any idea what.
I should probably also say that I'm developing a desktop application, so the callback URL isn't really valid. It does point to a website I own, but that website has no idea about OAuth at all. If I omit the callback URL, I receive the error "Callback URL not present or not valid" or somesuch.
I don't know anything about Groundspeak but I'd guess that they require that you register your app's callback URL before using OAuth. At least Google and Microsoft do this with their OAuth APIs. Look for some kind of developer settings on Groundspeak.
This is definitely something that needs to be further defined in the future: OAuth for non-web applications. But there does seem to be a few possible solutions (not the cleanest) that you can try to get OAuth working within a desktop application. You can look into the articles below that have some working solutions (I have not tested this myself). It's based off of Google's workable solution for handling OAuth from installed desktop apps:
https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuthForInstalledApps
Link to possible workaround solutions:

Here's also a related article on SO for desktop app OAuth: OAuth for Desktop apps?
Hope this helps!

Retrieving user's Birthday from google api calls

Problem : I am facing difficulties in getting user's birthday from api calls and I am new to OAuth.
Steps followed : (Have followed all steps required for implementing login with google+)
1. Created an app.
2. Obtained app_id and secret_key.
3. Did not make use of SDK, implemented the process without SDK in php.
4. Obtained "CODE" by calling accounts[dot]google[dot]com/o/oauth2/auth?
5. Using the code from the URL parameters requested for access token by HTTPS POST method to https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token, using CURL
6. When accessing the login page, user is asked for permissions to access the information such as email, profile, DOB etc., but I am not able to find a way to get that date of birth
7. I have tried access www[dot]googleapis[dot]com/plus/v1/people/User_ID?key={THE_API_KEY} . Still no luck
Please guide or suggest me on how to get the DOB. Also let me know if there is any other information I missed to share.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
Farhan
Well Well Ofcourse.. It has to be a security thing from google.
I got to know after I did a part of unit testing with different scenarios and missed out on a simple thing that google only responds with the b'day information if the user has allowed to in his profile settings.
all if the birth year is hidden, it will throw 0000 as year in the response of the HTTPS Post method.
If I am wrong in any of the information provided, Please do correct me.
Cheers!
Farhan.
