I'm trying to build an application that will list events that a user has created on eventbrite using. So the application will have multiple users and for each user, i want to be able to get their event list from eventbrite.
Do i need each user's username and password to do that. What parameters do i need and does the eventbrite api support this.
Thanks
The answer really depends on whether these users have public or private event data.
For public events that have an associated "organizer profile" page, you can use the organizer_list_events API call without providing any additional authentication credentials.
The event_search method may also work well for finding upcoming public events by organizer.
If you want to access both public and private event data, or events that have ended, then you will need to supply some user authentication credentials. The user_list_events API call is probably your best choice in this case.
The most simple method of authenticating as an Eventbrite user involves providing a user_key in your API request. Each user should be able to find their user_key here: eventbrite.com/userkeyapi/
More info on user authentication is available on the Eventbrite developer site:
developer.eventbrite.com/doc/auth/#user_authentication
XML is definitely a supported API response output format.
We have recently launched support for OAuth2.0. This answer may contain some useful information on that subject:

I cannot find a good working sample that calls the Graph API and retrieves the user's contacts from within an Azure Function. Part of the issue is a lack of documentation and samples as this seems new-ish. Is this even possible? I am trying to create a function that can take a phone number and check against the user's contacts to see if the contact exists. So far, the only way I can achieve authentication is to use Postman to retrieve a token manually. That token didn't even work to retrieve the contacts. I know I am doing something wrong but I think what I really need is the big picture. I'm missing something. Thank you for your help.
The auth token binding may help at least with the act of getting the token. In this case, if it's on behalf of the user invoking the function, you'll want to use the identity: userFromRequest setup. Keep in mind that for debugging, you'd still have to acquire a user token for the app and attach that to calls to your function, but you can use the function app's /.auth/login/aad and /.auth/me endpoints for that.
Make sure that your application registration has the Contacts.Read permission. This is required for the contacts API.Today, the UX for App Service Authentication / Authorization today links to the existing permissions UX, which unfortunately uses different names for things. I'd recommend navigating directly to the AAD section of the portal and selecting App registrations (Preview). Find your app registration there (defaults to same as your app name), and browse through the API permissions there. That way the right names show up and will match the Graph docs.
I was just wondering if there was a simple function to create a customer in the Stripe API from my app in Swift? Instead of having to create a manual HTTP post request to my server, "createCustomer.php", and then retrieve the results (This is what I do right now).
I tried to search this up on Google, but I can't seem to find anything. I simply want the user to save their card details for later user, that's why I am in need of creating a customer.
Thanks in advance!
Except for payment information tokenization (which is done via Stripe's iOS or Android SDKs in mobile apps, and Checkout or Stripe.js in web apps), all API requests must be sent from a backend server.
The reason is that aside from token creation, all other API requests must be sent using your secret API key. You cannot embed or share the secret API key with your mobile app in any way, as it would then be possible for an attacker to retrieve it and use it to issue API requests on your behalf.
This is why there is no Swift function to create a customer -- the customer creation must be done from your backend, using the server-side language of your choice.
I have a Slack bot application that needs to authenticate messages received. Instead of receiving a token from Slack, my application will provide a token to Slack. Slack would then send the token to my application during each request. My application can then authenticate who the message came from.
Is there a way on Slack's platform to be an Oauth provider to Slack or some way to authenticate messages?
Thank you
Ah I see! So, again, this is not precisely what you are looking for, but it comes pretty close:
What you can do is use your own OAuth system external to Slack and then tie the users in that system to the user_ids from your Slack team.
On request from a particular user, your bot could DM this user a unique URL that is tied to your own (slack-external) OAuth system. Once the process is complete you can associate your way of identifying users with that of Slack (ie. team_id and user_id)
As a result any message that your bot receives, which would include the user_id of the user that sent it, can now be checked against your own User model to see if this particular user has the required permissions or anything of that nature.
This way you can essentially use any OAuth system in conjunction with Slack's methods of identifying users. It's a bit hacky, but it works.
I built something like this a few months ago. Here we are using the Mondo API's OAuth on top of Slack's own OAuth: Mondobot

I am using Twitter as an OAuth provider for ASP.NET MVC 4 web site. I would like to be able to follow up with a registered user at a later date, either by email or via a tweet. Outside of having the user follow me on Twitter, do I have any other options to communicate with the user?
Here is what I unsuccessfully considered:
It appears that there is no way to get access to the email address since Twitter OAuth API does not return it.
It appears I cannot send a direct message unless a user
follows me on Twitter.
"Read/Write/DirectMessage" permissions seem
too intrusive -- all I want to do is send a user a message that a
new product is released -- I don't need any of the write
capabilities that this level of permissions provides.
To recap, if a user used Twitter to sign in to my website, what are my options to contact that user at a later date?
Thanks.
Twitter's solution for this sort of person-to-person communication is the Direct Message, however, Twitter has (rightfully) decided that both parties need to consent to this channel being available. This decision is intended to reduce the amount of spam in the Twitter ecosystem.
Posting public tweets that mention the username will get your users' attention, but it is also broadcasting their relationship with your company to the entire Twitter ecosystem. You will, essentially, be advertising their relationship with your company without their permission. This approach will bring you headaches sooner or later.
Email is probably a better choice for the sort of announcement to existing customers.
I have download the Eventbrite API code for the PHP.
I have successfully made the connection with the Eventbrite using API code but i am not able to retrieve user data yet.
So kindly help me to do so.
Make sure that you have initialized the API client with your user's authentication tokens in order to access private user data.
The user_list_events() method should provide all of the event content from the authenticated user account.
