API to post on Tumblr - ios

I've been trying to upload an image to Tumblr from my iOS application for a little while now, but I can't get my method to work properly.
My current method uses ASIHTTPRequest and OAuthConsumer according to this guide.
However, I end up getting a 401 error (Authentication needed).
You can find the explanation for my problem here.
But my question is : Is there any other mean/API to post on Tumblr for iOS?
I saw that OAuthConsumer was not fully functional on that side, and I didn't find anything with the GTM.
Thanks.

Finally found a solution to my problem a few time ago.
I first thought that it was a bit old and that it wouldn't work but in the end, implementing the TumblrUploadr did the thing.
To sum it all, I achieved login with GTM-OAuth and uploading with TumblrUploadr. For those who seek a solution to the Tumblr API.
Update : Some info concerning GTMOAuth, if you want to use the callback, you have to add a flag in the GTMOAuthAuthentication.m > +(NSArray*)tokenAuthorizeKeys : add kOAuthCallbackKey in the array so that it will be taken into account. Else, you have no callback.

Missing video ID from comment object

I am trying to retrieve a comment on a video by comment ID using the youtube v3 data api.
Here's the documentation part I am concerned with: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/comments#resource
In the resource documentation, there's a property called "videoId" that I don't get when using this API call:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/comments?part=snippet,id&key={YOUR_KEY_HERE}&id=z13cdfiygorrst1f422fuzi5eqevcdwsf
Edit: I have already been trying working around this problem to no avail, also started an issue on google issue tracker to no answer. As far as I know, the youtube-data-api tag is where the developers track the issues in the API.
I am not sure why the comments endpoint does not return the videoId, but the commentThreads does.
So calling https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentThreads?part=snippet,id&key={YOUR_KEY_HERE}&id=z13cdfiygorrst1f422fuzi5eqevcdwsf and parsing the result to get the proper comment in the comment threads (that includes replies) seems like a reasonable workaround...

how to get twitter feeds in shopify

I am trying to get twitter feeds in to my shopify site. I want to get the feeds and style them as I want and thus cant use a app.
I know how to do it using PHP but can not use that code in shopify and looking for a way I can use OAuth in shopify and get the feeds. I tried the shopify docs but without an example its kinda hard to actually get my head around it.
http://docs.shopify.com/api/tutorials/oauth
Thats the link I am using as a guide. If anyone can direct me to an example which might be similar that would be awesome. (google didnt seem to be that helpful this time either)
Cheers
I know you said you didn't want to use an app, but can I suggest taking a look at Twitify? You can use custom CSS to style your tweets. Also see discussions about Twitify here and here.
Twitter changed their display guidelines and policies on embedding of tweets on websites in June 2013. One of the themes I used for a client earlier in the year had custom styling of tweets, and they have now changed it to use the official Twitter widget to meet the new guidelines. In fact, the images on the Shopify theme store show how it used to look before Twitter changed things:
And after:
I think using an app like Twitify would be the easiest way to deal with these changes to embedding tweets.
Thanx for the suggestion. I did take a look at that before I posted this question. This is a project for a client and I dont think getting a plug in is a viable option. Anyways I found a work around.
Hosted the file on a server and then accessed it. So that resolved the problem. :)
I used node.js to write the script and get the posts as required.
Cheers.
you can use the app for that Twitify https://apps.shopify.com/twitify or you can Embed a Twitter feed in your online store
Go to your Twitter settings.
Click Widgets to open the widgets menu.
Create a new widget, following Twitter's instructions.
Copy the embed code.

Facebook make a friend request on iOS / API call

Is there any API call that I can use in order to send a friend request ?
I have seen some applications that allow you to do that, so I have been wondering
how that has been achieved. I can't find anything useful in the documentation.
(all the answers I found are quite old)
Use one of the presentDialogModally methods in FBWebDialogs and pass it the session and #"friends" as the dialog param.

Oauth library for iOS (in particular Yelp)

I want to add Yelp search into my application.
To do this I need to use Yelps Oauth authentication. This sounded easy as I've made some server applications before.
However, I keep getting an INVALID_SIGNATURE with the code I have created to make and retrieve data from a constructed URL.
I have checked the signature output by my app and it is exactly the same as the one they provide at http://api.yelp.com (I've even checked the two strings (before the hashing) at http://www.textdiff.com and they said they were the same)
It seems I hit a dead end and cannot get around this error.
Can anyone point me in the right direction with why my signature might not work
and/or
Can someone point me to a good iOS Oauth tutorial and library (any library I have found has poor documentation on how to use it)
Thanks
