I am wondering if the OAuth parameter in the FB.init call in the Javascript SDK will start defaulting to true after the October 1st deadline. The current documentation wasn't clear on this point. Obviously you can opt-in now by using oauth: true, however if I don't need to make changes to a whole lot of production code then I'd like to avoid it. Currently not including the parameter means OAuth is disabled.
So, it's Monday and I've seen absolutely no changes over the weekend with the facebook API in regards to Oct. 1st deadline. I'm hesitant to say that facebook was just blowing smoke? By the end of today, we may yet see something: "We will post an update on the rollout plan on Monday, Oct 3rd (the changes themselves will proceed as planned)." (from here)

So having been to Ignite in 2017 I was really excited with the new possibilites the Webhooks in Microsoft Graph and binding to Azure functions.
Recently I got the chance to really explore this for myself.
I am looking at this from the perspective of Identity Management - I really want to see what kind of user onboarding/change management we can react to and process with Graph Webhooks and Azure functions. So I started looking at the beta endpoint and the Webhooks available for "/users"
The first thing that struck me was that in the beta only "updated" or "deleted" is a valid changetype. I really would like "created" - since that is when the most work would get done on a user (for example generating some unique attribute values)
Ok I thought and just tried looking at "/users" and only changetype="updated". I created a subscription and an basic Azure function to handle the requests. Updated a user in Azure AD (just changed "Last name" attribute) and sure enough a trigger was sent to my Azure function
Now comes my biggest problems - this is really unusable in its current form.
his seems to react to the all changes /users and i guess the trigger response could contain several users.
It really would be preferable to get individual triggers for each object changed in /users even though they were changed at the same time
Looking at the actual information sent here lies the BIG problem.
I get the id of the user changed (good, but also expected)
I get the organizationId (ok..)
I get the eventTime (good)
I get a sequenceNumber (unsure what this is?)
I get subscriptionExpirationDateTime (ok fine good to have)
I get subscriptionId for the webhook (ok fine good to have)
... but WHERE is information about what data was changed??? Nowhere to be found is what attributes of the user were changed (i my case "Last name"). This makes the triggers totally unusable for "/users" and I cant really think of anyone who could use this function as is?
Sure I know the object was changed but I have no idea WHAT happened and if the change was relevant to my function
Please tell me there are plans to include the actual changes in the trigger response?
EDIT: ok right, yeah this is more a feature request from the actual developers of ms graph - will look for a better place to get this answered
Please provide feature requests here (ex: richer data in notifications, "created" change type) : https://officespdev.uservoice.com/forums/224641-feature-requests-and-feedback?category_id=101632
Here are answers to other questions.
Microsoft graph doesn't guarantee ordering of events when sending notifications (ex: your webhook endpoint could be down and we will retry events delayed by up to 4 hours or drop if the outage is longer than 4 hours). Hence "SequenceNumber" can be used to track if an event is in order and hence used as is or if it is out of order and needs a query to Graph to get current state.
Currently, we provide Ids of objects and associations (member, manager) that have changed, whether the object/associations is deleted or updated but not details of other properties that were changed. In its current form, webhook is best used with delta query. Instead of polling delta query every X minutes and in most cases receiving zero changes, developers can create a subscription and perform delta query only when a notification is received. This would help scale in case there are many tenants that needs to be polled.
Delta Query: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/concepts/delta_query_overview
Also FYI, webhook notifications for user/group is now also available in V1.0
Is there a way to fire the event
customer.source.expiring
in test mode ?
I added a card expiring in the current month to the customer. I'd like to catch the webhook without waiting until the end of the current month.
Thanks
Yes, You can do it from Stripe Console after Login. Go to webhook section and from there you can check it.
Unfortunately as of Jan 2022, there still seem to be no way of triggering this event using the Stripe CLI.
Anyhow, by digging a bit, I discovered a gist with the event's payload, that at least could help you set the code in order to receive the data

Obviously the testing part will still be a pain the butt.
Hope this could help.
I am currently building an iOS application which involves journey planning and travel updates etc, I am having a really difficult time finding TFL api key. Which I can use for my App, can someone please be kind enough to help me through it and guide who shall I contact.
This question remains unanswered in SO for past two years.. I think you might have already figured out how to get the API Key, but just for new devs..
Its a easy process just register and signin at https://api.tfl.gov.uk/
or at https://api-portal.tfl.gov.uk/
Then select API credentials and you will be able to see your newly created App ID and App Keys

It's changed now. They made it way less intuitive, imo
The sign up process is about the same,
after you need to go to products
select 500 requests per minute (the only public, and costless, option)
Choose and enter a name for your subscription
That should redirect you to your profile where you can then find the Primary and Secondary keys.
I have just finished developing a website using Paypal Payments Standard, and all is working just fine in most computers, but paypal does not return any payment variables on iPad (and maybe other devices).
I created my own cart, and use the Buy Now functionality to pay for the entire order.
The Buy Now form sets the RETURN variable to the cart page, and the RM variable is set to 2, which should post the variables back to the cart page.
When the payment is complete, the cart page checks for posted payment variables and logs them into the database.
As said, this works perfectly on most computers.
On iPad, though, the user returns to the cart page, but no payment variables are posted. This is just the same when changing the RM variable to 1, which should send the variables as GET parameters.
You can see the code and working website at: http://unameit.ch/
This isn't exactly an answer to your problem, but would solve the issue and would be better for you anyway.
Using your return URL is not a good way to get data into your database because even with Auto-Return enabled there is no guarantee the user would make it back to your return URL. In such cases, that code would never run and the data would never make it into your database.
Instead, what you should use is IPN. IPN will be triggered regardless of whether or not the user makes it back to your site. It's very similar to PDT except that instead of POSTing data back to the return URL it POSTs it to a separate listener script apart from your checkout pages. It happens in real-time so the result would be the same as what you're trying to do now, but it would always work regardless of whether or not the user made it back to your site, and you wouldn't have to worry about issues like you're running into here with the iPad transactions.
I highly recommend you do it this way or you'll find that you're missing order data in your database even if you end up getting this particular problem resolved.
I have had the same issue with the manual callback and have been speaking to PayPal tech support. They have agreed that there is a bug with this working on a mobile/tablet devices. Basically, if you go to the mobile PayPal site to make the payment, you won't get any data POSTed back to your return URL:
They have told us to use the ExpressCheckoutAPI instead:
"Yes the ExpressCheckout works without any issues on all platforms.
As a mater of fact I found that the mobileWPS checkout is Wraped around the
ExpressCheckout and this is the reason why your data is chopped off.
Some of the data is lost in translation from WPS to EC."
Sorry that this isn't a answer but at least we know that PayPal know it's a bug.
What is the simplest way how to check if user is online and display list of online users?
The only way I can think of is some periodic polling server to update last action timestamp, and when last timestamp is more than xx ago, user is considered to be offline. But it doesn't seem like too eficient solution.
Authlogic can do this by default, and is a great authentication system that is very powerful. I would suggest migrating your current authentication system over to it (maybe a days worth of work, depending how customized your system is).
If you can't (or simply don't want to) move your application over to Authlogic, you can check out the source code at the link above, as well as an example project here.
You could potentially check the session time, if you use database session store. When the updated_at extends past a certain time, assume the user is no longer active. This could be problematic as well, however.
Being honest, it's a somewhat difficult scenario to tell the active number of users without some form of periodic server polling. Your thought is not a bad one.
We can list the online users using active record session store, please see this github app https://github.com/mohanraj-ramanujam/online-users
