It's much harder than you'd think:
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Photos.upload
The tricky part is how to create the MIME multi-part message in Rails, which Facebook requires. I'm also using a Ruby Facebook API gem (mini_fb) which signs my other requests, and in addition to having no idea how to set up the MIME multi-part, even if I did I'm not sure how to add in the required signature values with the gem.
Please help!
Why not just use Facebooker? Or even if you have some reason not to you can reverse engineer the upload photo method.

In the link below is explained how to generate JWT token with header and payload to access the Apple API
However I don't see how to combine header and payload.
Can someone make an example in ruby
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/generating_tokens_for_api_requests
Just use the jwt gem. It's a well-maintained library with regular updates. It's probably possible to do it without a gem too, but anything having to do with security should be air-tight in production, so I would just go with the gem.
Look for the correct encryption algorithm (Apple seems to be using ES256) and find it in the documentation to see an example of how to create a token with that.
The format for creating a basic JWT token with the gem (custom header fields are optional) is this:
JWT.encode your_payload, your_private_key, encryption_algorithm, custom_header_fields
So, I'm very new to this. I got a generated json file from my google developer console that holds information like private keys, client id, token stuff, etc.
Now, I'm trying to use the Google Analytics Report V4 api. I put all my code into a concern, and when I run the code I get this error:
Google::Apis::AuthorizationError: Unauthorized
So I know that I have to authorize my app, but I'm not sure how. I have this json file which appears to have all the information I need to authenticate my app.
After some research, I know that (on the following code) I need to assign analytics.authorization to something, I just don't know to what.
analytics = Google::Apis::AnalyticsreportingV4::AnalyticsReportingService.new
analytics.authorization = ???
Do you know of any method I'm supposed to call that takes in the location of my json file as a parameter or something that can in turn, authorize my rails app?
Thank you so so much if you can help.
I know there are other questions like this. But they use omniauth with devise I think, and I can't do that. I already have a specific context in which users need to be logged in to my app, so logging in with google wouldn't work in my case. Also, other question/answers that don't involve omniauth and devise are outdated or don't have an accepted answer.
I've set up a basic rails application to use twitter oauth gem and devise and have been able to log in a user. However, my problem is I've now got my app white-listed and I would like to get a user's email back in the response. I've followed all necessary steps on the twitter side (setting necessary permissions, URLS, and reset keys) and have tried passing both
include_email=true
and
include_email=email
as a params when I initiate the oauth sequence. I feel like I've read and re-read the docs and tried few edge cases I thought might work based off of very little I've found on-line.
Any help with this? Something I'm missing if you've done this before?
I solved my problem. The omniauth gem was not the latest version which would include email. In my gem file I needed to declare '~> 1.2.1' where I had version 1.2.0 - - the new version includes the following changes you can read about here: https://github.com/arunagw/omniauth-twitter/pull/96
I've been attempting to get Ruby on Rails 4.1 to talk to our salesforce instance using the gem omniauth and gem restforce as per this instruction link here.
All seems to be going alright, I got things up and running, with a hyperlink that takes me to a salesforce login and seems to return to the callback correctly. However when it does i get the error:
OAuth2::Error
Missing_OAuth_Token
This leaves me really confused and mystified, my oauth token should surely be supplied by the callback?
I have my client_id and client_secret stored in the app and they appear to load in correctly. Adding my salesforce login and password through omniauth should provide all it needs right? I don't see anywhere else in the omniauth gem docs or restforce gem to stick an oauth token... and even then i'm not sure where i'd get it from.
I'd read that there had recently been some authentication failures with the gem omniauth and there is a current issue request to put out a new version. If I specify my gem to pull directly from the github. I get a similar bit distinct error that I have posted about here.
Could anyone give any advice on:
Where I should expect the missing Auth_Token to come from (I really can't work out if I'm supposed to be providing it in my app or if that's what comes back from salesforce
How would be best to go about debugging this? (i'd thought about using debugger but as it pings to code outside of my rails app i'm unsure how much help this would be.
What the correct way would be to go about setting this up properly!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
This was actually a bug in the omniauth-salesforce gem - https://github.com/realdoug/omniauth-salesforce/pull/13.
There was a minor change to the way the Salesforce API worked which was resolved in the above pull request. You must have upgraded your gem which solved the problem.
Currently I'm recovering the omniauth information perfectly fine using the typical setup for omniauth gems.
I'm retrieving the access_token as a string and storing it into an Authorization model that is associated to a main Users model.
So, getting to my problem.
I need to access the calenders api and in the docs I see many references like this...
https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3//users/me/calendarList/calendarId
This seems fairly intuitive. I want to access this in conjunction with the access token that I have retrieved. Something along the lines of this...
https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3//users/me/calendarList/calendarId?access_token=blah
so that I can load it directly and more streamlined into Backbone models. However, I don't see anything in the docs and when I try the implementation, it consistently throws me 404s of "Not found" (which is rather annoying and undescriptive. I'd prefer if it threw 422s but I suppose that's a discussion for somewhere else.)
Is there anything in the docs that provide an example implementation of how to access the info with a token?
thanks
I did a bit more research and found out about the google ruby client gem that was released. Basically, we have to feed the token into the Google::Client instance and pump out an object that has a defined set of methods that can be used on it.
I created a special case controller to handle this logic to render out a suitable api.
TO-DO: Will get into specifics in a bit. Currently I'm very tired.
