I want to retrieve the Google contacts from a user in Ruby on rails using Restclient, but I every time I tried, I face a Restclient 401 Unauthorized error on my query line. I assume that my query is wrong or missgin something, but I didn't find anything usefull in the Google Contact API doc.
Any idea ?
Here's my scope
scope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email+https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile+https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full/+https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/+https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar'
Here's my method I call with a freshly received access_token
def import_google_contact(user_email, access_token)
r = RestClient.get "https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/#{user_email}/full?access_token=#{access_token}"
...
end
Which is weird since I manage to get the user email just before in the same method using this request
r = RestClient.get "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo?access_token=#{access_token}"
I discovered I didn't put the right parameter in the scope to request contacts data? I replaced it by
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds
This is weird because Google accepts a wrong one during the authorization process

Sometimes, I do a request to get the value of several fields for a given user.
Here is an example of such a request that works for a given user(the id corresponds to a user of type "Member"):
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/bba8407c-2f05-4e91-b27e-a207689a085f?$select=passwordProfile,aboutMe,accountEnabled,assignedLicenses,assignedPlans,birthday,businessPhones,city,companyName,country,department,displayName,givenName,hireDate,imAddresses,interests,jobTitle,mail,mailboxSettings,mailNickname,mobilePhone,mySite,officeLocation,onPremisesImmutableId,onPremisesLastSyncDateTime,onPremisesSecurityIdentifier,onPremisesSyncEnabled,passwordPolicies,pastProjects,postalCode,preferredLanguage,preferredName,provisionedPlans,proxyAddresses,responsibilities,schools,skills,state,streetAddress,surname,usageLocation,userPrincipalName,userType
No problem here. But doing the same request for another user of type "Guest", I get an Http 400 (bad request). Here is a request that fails, even if the format is exactly the same:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/3e3fac9d-ad76-4f9a-b86c-b4691a524572?$select=passwordProfile,aboutMe,accountEnabled,assignedLicenses,assignedPlans,birthday,businessPhones,city,companyName,country,department,displayName,givenName,hireDate,imAddresses,interests,jobTitle,mail,mailboxSettings,mailNickname,mobilePhone,mySite,officeLocation,onPremisesImmutableId,onPremisesLastSyncDateTime,onPremisesSecurityIdentifier,onPremisesSyncEnabled,passwordPolicies,pastProjects,postalCode,preferredLanguage,preferredName,provisionedPlans,proxyAddresses,responsibilities,schools,skills,state,streetAddress,surname,usageLocation,userPrincipalName,userType
So the request syntax is identical, the only part that changes is the user id. But the second one returns "Bad Request - Error in query syntax". What is going on here? Why can I not do that request for guest users?
I can reproduce this problem for any tenant. It never works for any guest user.
Request-id of the failing request: 49e80d99-5074-4404-900f-e1d14889bf2b
it appears that some of those properties are unavailable for guest users. If you want to fetch non-guest users, you can use $filter syntax such as https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=userType eq 'Member'
I have an FB account and i have created a fan page for my club and few other pages as well. I have an app in Ruby on Rails. I want to publish some feed on my club fan page. How can i do this?
I have been using Koala Gem and able to successfully post to my wall but not on to the page.
I want to access the list of all the fan pages associated with my account instead of giving the name of specific page.
here is my simple method which i am using to communicate to FB Graph API.
def facebook
#facebook ||= Koala::Facebook::GraphAPI.new(oauth_token)
rescue Koala::Facebook::APIError => e
logger.info e.to_s
nil # or consider a custom null object
end
Answer submitted by Sumit can be an approach but after searching around some more forums, finally i got an elegant way to do it.
#user_graph = Koala::Facebook::API.new(user_access_token)
pages = #user_graph.get_connections('me', 'accounts')
# get access token for first page
first_page_token = pages.first['access_token']
# or: retrieve access_token for a given page_id
page_token = #user_graph.get_page_access_token(page_id)
Passing on the "accounts" parameter to get_connection worked elegantly for me.
Here is the reference to API.
And one last thing, never forget to add the "manage_pages" permission in your permissions list.
I'm trying to set up the linkedin api in a rails 3 app using the linkedin gem. I don't want the user to have to authenticate my app in order for the API to get their info. I only need one piece of their public profile (the headline). So, maybe I should just be using xml or json to pull this off (not exactly sure how to get that with linkedin either).
I have the following in a helper so that I can call linkedin_header() in a loop of users. I only have 'client' as the last line of the following code while debugging. It outputs as expected (#). It seems like I am only a step away from success. How can I access a given users headline? I have tried using "client = client.profile(:url => 'linkedin_user_url')", but that return "Call must be made on behalf of a member".
def linkedin_header(account_user)
user = User.find(account_user)
account = Account.where(:user_id => user, :external_id => 1)
api_key = 'aaaaaaaa'
api_secret = 'bbbbbbbb'
client = LinkedIn::Client.new(api_key, api_secret)
rtoken = client.request_token.token # this returns correctly
rsecret = client.request_token.secret # this returns correctly
client
# client = client.profile(:url => 'linkedin_user_url')
end
So, I guess I have two questions. Is my request (public headline of any user) too simple for the above...should I be using XML or JSON. And, if Im close...can I make the API work for me without the user having to authenticate via linkedin.
Based off of what I read from the LinkedIn API reference (http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/authentication)
You have to make requests to their API only after being authenticated. (Using OAuth Keys) Rather than just grabbing the publicly available information.
It seems like since you want a small piece of information (the public headline of any user) you'd want some sort of implementation like Facebook's OpenGraph. After looking around on LinkedIn, I don't see any sort of public implementation like that.
I would suggest checking out this gem:
https://github.com/yatishmehta27/linkedin-scraper
It seems to be the type of solution you're looking for.
I am trying to develop a facebook integration to fetch the wall posts using KOALA Gem (1.1.0), and Rails 2.3.8 . I can easily generate user_access_token and page_access_token and able to get data using graph API. But when I am using realtime update I can't get datas which need access token. I can access all public information with KOALA api.
I guess we need to pass access_token(user_access_token or page_access_token). I couldn't find an option to pass access token. I checked the RealTimeUpdate class and found only two arguments app_access_token and app_id, which may not be sufficient to get the protected data like feeds and post
Here am attaching the sample code:
#updates = Koala::Facebook::RealtimeUpdates.new(:app_id => YOUR_APP_ID, :secret => YOUR_APP_SECRET )
=> Koala::Facebook::RealtimeUpdates:0x10331fb88 #graph_api=#, #secret=”81297xxxxxxxxxxx”, #app_access_token=”1779yyyyyyy|xxxxxxx”, #app_id=”1779yyyyy”
and you can see app_access_token and access_token has been set the same.
Then I tried to retrieve the access token as follows but it returns nil.
>> #updates.access_token
=> nil
Kindly advise how do I go forward?
Seems this is a bug in facebook . Please have a look #

I'm playing with the authlogic-example-app and I'm failing to get the email address from the OpenID provider (in my case: Google and Yahoo) when I register a user, resp. I get an empty response instead of an email address (check the comments in code below).
This is how my user model looks like (everything else looks like the "with_openid"-branch of the authlogic-example-app mentioned above). Besides the missing 'email', the openid-authentication-process works as expected:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_authentic do |c|
# not needed because I use OpenID
c.validate_login_field = false
# avoid failed validation before OpenID request
c.validate_email_field = false
# this one sets 'openid.sreg.required=email'
c.required_fields = [:email]
end
private
# overwriting the existing method in '/lib/authlogic_openid/acts_as_authentic.rb'
def map_openid_registration(registration)
# this is my problem: 'registration' is an empty hash
self.email ||= registration[:email] if respond_to?(:email) && !registration[:email].blank?
end
end
Any idea how to solve this? Has anyone here done this before using authlogic? Or even better: Do you have a working example?
Update: I checked the Google Account Authentication API and compared the request submitted by authlogic (using ruby-openid-gem and openid-authentication-plugin) with the example requests on the Google Account Authentication API docs:
Example request to authenticate and fetch email address by Google:
https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/ud

While debugging the whole setup, I've found out that the openid-authentication-plugin never receives an email in the response it receives from the openid provider, this at least explains why the registration hash in my user-model is empty...
UPDATE: If you're playing around with authlogic and openid, don't forget to check out the latest railscast on this subject!
As nobody could help me, I helped myself. :-)
The short answer to my question is:
c.required_fields = [:email,"http://axschema.org/contact/email"]
Using this line, the application requests the email-address using sreg and ax (request-type supported by Google).
You can find a more detailed answer and a working implementation of authlogic-openid with the Javascript OpenID-Selector right here:
http://github.com/vazqujav/authlogic_openid_selector_example/
While this pointed me in the right direction, what I needed was:
c.openid_required_fields = [:email,"http://axschema.org/contact/email"]
This pulled in the email and set it.
# fetch email by ax
c.openid_required_fields = [
"http://axschema.org/contact/email",
"http://axschema.org/namePerson/first",
"http://axschema.org/namePerson/last",
"http://axschema.org/contact/country/home",
"http://axschema.org/pref/language"
]
This fetches in multiple values as specified # http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OpenID.html#Parameters
Though I'm still unable to fetch in the country name... name, email, language works perfectly!
Test against an OpenID server you control, since it'll let you debug every part of the OpenID sequence. There are no guarantees that Google's OpenID provider is doing the right thing. Try checking against Verisign's server, since I'm pretty sure that one at least should do the right thing with the openid.sreg.required=email field.
Your code snippet looks right to me.
the thing is i am able to fetch the parameters from the provider but am not able to extract them from the response...
i have used OpenID::AX::FetchResponse.from_success_response(open_id_response)
as the object to hold the response... what method do i use to extract email,nickname,country,etc...
