I am trying to post an event to a particular google calendar.
I am using the following URL to post the event:
https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/CALENDAR-ID/private/full
Using this I get this error:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Authorization required</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000">
<H1>Authorization required</H1>
<H2>Error 401</H2>
</BODY>
I understand that I need to request authorization to post on the calendar but I would like to post the event in my own calendar.
My questions:
1 - Do I need to use OAuth to post an event in my own calendar ?
2 - If not, is there any special URL (like magic-cookie) to use with a read-write access ?
3 - I have a Google API Key but I don't know if I can use it in this case and how it should be used ?
I am trying to post the event from an iOS application using NSURLConnection. Here is the details:
{
"data": {
"title": "Tennis with Beth",
"details": "Meet for a quick lesson.",
"transparency": "opaque",
"status": "pending",
"location": "Rolling Lawn Courts",
"when": [
{
"start": "2013-08-07T15:00:00.000Z",
"end": "2013-08-07T17:00:00.000Z"
}
]
}
}
Headers:
Content-type: application/json
Thank you for your help, I know there is a lot of similar question over internet but everything I try doesn't work and I don't understand the OAuth things in documentation (as I never used OAuth). Also I can;t find in google documentation the case when you want your users to post in a particular calendar.
I found another post on StackOverflow which deals exactly with what I was looking for. The post explain the method using PHP but the process is still the same for iOS.

I'm planning to integrate a website with eBay using PHP, but first I'm using Postman to test everything.
Authorization took me an entire day, but I think I've got it working now. (I had to update to the latest version of Postman, then I got it to create a token for me.)
I say I think because I haven't managed to get a single request to work. I deliberately chose bulkGetInventoryItem (documentation) as it seemed like one of the easier authorized requests to get working. I just know that when the authentication settings are wrong, I get a different error message to when they are right.
For troubleshooting reasons, I made a token with all the scopes:
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.marketing
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.inventory
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.account
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.fulfillment
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.finances
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.payment.dispute
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.identity.readonly
(added as space-separated list of links)
I have changed one of the eBay listings to have an SKU of "123456" just for this test, however the error I get is exactly the same as if I change "sku": "123456" to "sku": "anObviouslyFakeSKU", but anything else I change creates a new error, so I'm suspecting the issue to be SKU related, but maybe it isn't. (I've found the eBay API to be very poor at sending relevant error messages.)
I'm quite new to Postman, so it's likely a rookie mistake.
Earlier errors have shown to be minor punctuation issues or wrong radio buttons ticked, so hopefully whatever the error is this time, it should appear in this screenshot.
What did I do wrong this time? (Let me know if there are any other screenshots I can send that might help.)
To help, both with the post's SEO, and ease of copy/pasting, I am transcribing the important text in the screenshot above:
url
POST https://api.ebay.com/sell/inventory/v1/bulk_get_inventory_item
body, raw
{
"requests": [
{
"sku": "123456"
}
]
}
output
{
"errors": [
{
"errorId": 2003,
"domain": "ACCESS",
"category": "APPLICATION",
"message": "Internal error",
"longMessage": "There was a problem with an eBay internal system or process. Contact eBay developer support for assistance",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "reason",
"value": "Failed to transform underlying error response, see logs."
}
]
}
]
}

A few things you need to check for in Postman.
When you authenticate and receive a token are you posting that token with your api calls like this one POST https://api.ebay.com/sell/inventory/v1/bulk_get_inventory_item?
Have you set the Authorization HTTP header for authentication authorization?
Have you set the Content-Type header for the call to application/json?
More info here: https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/inventory/resources/inventory_item/methods/bulkGetInventoryItem
Update
Authorization with environment variable in Postman:
Postman environment variables documentation:
https://learning.postman.com/docs/postman/variables-and-environments/variables/
I figured out the issue. My biggest mistake was choosing bulkGetInventoryItem as the "simplest" call. I should have chosen getInventoryItem, as the error reporting on that function is far more user friendly.
So the error I got, for exactly the same request was "We didn't find the entity you are requesting. Please verify the request"
A quick google of the error found me this page https://forums.developer.ebay.com/questions/17883/cannot-get-my-listed-product-by-get-inventory-api.html which led me to the correct answer!
The inventory item I was trying to access was unreachable because it was not created through the developer API.
I hope this answer helps others, as it wasted a full day of my life trying getInventoryItem before tackling bulkGetInventoryItem.
What is the REST API call to anonymously upload to a publicly shared folder on OneDrive?
I have tried sharing a folder both thru the OneDrive Web UI creating a link attributed with: "Anyone with this link can edit this item", and using the REST API:
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{driveId}/items/{sharedFolderId}/createLink
Content-type: application/json
{
"type": "edit",
"scope": "anonymous"
}
In both cases, I can read from the shared folder without logging on by
GET https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/{shareId}/items/{sharedFolderId}
I can also read the permission itself using
GET https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/{shareId}/items/{sharedFolderId}/permissions
=>
{
"#odata.context":"https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/$metadata#shares('{shareId}')/items('{sharedFolderId')/permissions",
"value":
[
{
"id":"{permissionId}",
"link":
{
"application":
{
"displayName":"{my own app}",
"id":"{short app id}"
},
"type":"edit",
"webUrl":"https://1drv.ms/u/{shareId}"
},
"roles":["write"],
"shareId":"{shareId}",
"expirationDateTime":"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"hasPassword":false
}
]
}
However trying to upload a file or create a subfolder, i.e.
PUT https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/{shareId}/driveItem:/{filename}:/content
Content-type: text/plain
some text goes here
or
POST https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/{shareId}/items/{sharedFolderId}/children
Content-type: application/json
{
"name": "TestFolder",
"folder": { }
}
both fail as unauthorized calls - but isn't the whole point of an "edit" link with "anonymous" scope that "anyone with this link can edit this item"?
I have tried various combinations of https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0 instead of https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0 and /drives/{driveId} instead of /shares/{shareId} as well as /shares/{shareToken}, where shareToken is the "u!"-encoding of the webUrl from the link in the permission.
So far without being able to figure out the right REST API call. I hope someone is able to help :-)
You can download my TestOneDrive Visual Studio test project to reproduce the issues. It also contains initialization code to create and share the folder.
Due to no guys from Product Group following this and no official docs announced this, so I suggest you to submit an feature request first on UserVocie or vote up an existing one close to your issue.
I am trying to create a link to share a document with createLink from Microsoft Graph for specific users without using an invite but it is creating a link with Anyone with the link can edit this document permission.
I'm calling this endpoint:
POST /me/drive/items/{itemId}/createLink
With this request body:
{
"type": "edit",
"scope": "anonymous"
}
Am I missing something?
You can't use createLink for sharing with a specific person, you need to use the invite endpoint for that.
The call you're making is responding exactly how you've asked it to and generating a link (createLink) that anyone (anonymous) can access.
If you don't want to send a physical invitation, you can tell OneDrive this by setting the sendInvitation property to false:
POST /me/drive/items/{item-id}/invite
Content-type: application/json
{
"requireSignIn": true,
"sendInvitation": false,
"roles": [ "write", "read"],
"recipients": [
{
"email": "someone#contoso.org"
}
]
}
Please refer this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/api/driveitem_invite
You can share the file with specific user by adding user's in
"recipients":[{"#odata.type":"microsoft.graph.driveRecipient"}]
parameter. You can set sendInvitation parameter like "sendInvitation":false to avoid sending the invitation mail.
I have created a web application from which I am trying to get recommendations of a user from his/her LinkedIn Profile using URL
String url="https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(recommendations-received:(id,recommendation-type,recommendation-text,recommender))?format=json"
When I am using this URL in the
Api Explorer it works fine. And gives output:-
{ "recommendationsReceived": {
"_total": 2,
"values": [
{
"id": 558598601,
"recommendationText": "xxx is among the best team players I ever worked with. He has handled client effectively with smooth operations. I had always seen him as person with solution mindset and always look for solution rather than thinking about the problem. ",
"recommendationType": {
"code": "colleague"
},
"recommender": {
"firstName": "XXX",
"id": "YYYY",
"lastName": "XXX"
}
},
{
"id": ZZZZ,
"recommendationText": "XXX is one of the most dedicated person at work.I always him with a flexible attitude and ready to adapt himself in all situation.I have seen him work all night to catch up all the deadlines and deliver on time ."
"recommendationType": {
"code": "colleague"
},
"recommender": {
"firstName": "XXX",
"id": "YYYY",
"lastName": "XXXX"
}
}
] } }
The problem comes, when I am using this URL in my Developer app.It doesn't give any error just simple return an empty map [:] as output in response
Irrespective of these recommendation fields, I successfully get the user basic profile data such as email, id, image,firstName,lastName.Means my code is working for other fields well but not for these recommendation fields*
To find the solution, I did some internet surfing and find a link of Linked API docs
Linked API Docs
As per Docs following selection of profile fields are only available
to applications that have applied and been approved for the Apply with
LinkedIn program:
Recommendation Fields
I already created a LinkedIn Developer account to get key & Secret
So how do I apply and get approval for Apply with LinkedIn Recommendation Fields.
I already have seen the LinkedIn support but can't find the way to ask question to the Linked Developer help support
Please suggest me the right way.
After a long internet surfing,I have found something fruitful that, I have to fill up a form to get these fields.Here is the form
along with its procedural details
You can use just recommendations-received keyword. Try the following link. I am getting all recommendations details with this link.
https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(recommendations-received)?format=json
I have a public calendar on the site. I need to display upcoming events on the front page.
After spending the whole day on this I am about to give up. Google is disabling older API there is no documentation or anything. I am parsing the RSS feed:
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/.../public/basic?futureevents=true
And grabbing feed/entry/update and feed/entry/title from XML. I read somewhere that futureevents will display upcoming events. However I get the list of older events.
Okay, then I tried to use API V3 https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/events/list
Here is the responce I get:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "usageLimits",
"reason": "dailyLimitExceededUnreg",
"message": "Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup.",
"extendedHelp": "https://code.google.com/apis/console"
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup."
}
}
I jumped through more hoops and installed their ruby code sample as I need this for Rails site.
It sort of worked but it requires user to confirm access to their own calendar. I don't need that. Plus it seems that authentication only valid for a day.
The said calendar is public. It is being displayed in iframe on the site with xml and ical feed. All I need is to parse upcoming events to show them on front page.
What is the way to do it without authorization and other ridiculous stuff?
//This works for me! js:
var request = gapi.client.calendar.events.list({
'calendarId': 'xxx',
'timeMin': (new Date()).toISOString(),
'showDeleted': false,
'singleEvents': true,
'maxResults': 1,
'orderBy': 'startTime'
});
request.execute(function(resp) {}
Use this wizard to create a new API project: https://console.developers.google.com/start/api?id=calendar Then click on "create new key" (choose server key). Then do a request to https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars//events?key={YOUR_API_KEY} replacing the email and api key with your values.
