With the somewhat recent update to the Twitter API, links for JSON pages don't seem to work anymore. I'm wondering how I can get a link similar to this one: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=apple (which would find tweets about apple). This link is broken (as you'll see if you click on it).
Yes your link is deprecated now, the link would be like this for api v1.1:
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=apple
PS: You will need to create an account then authorize your application.
The Twitter oauth API V1 is deprecated completely as of late June. You need to change your code API V1.1 which allows you to view the content in the json file via authentication only.
Like #meda said, you need to have an application to run it with.
Once creating an application at twitter, you can use any twitter oauth library to collect the data from the json files.
ASFIK,https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth [Abraham's twitter oauth] is the best for starters to learn the flow of authentication and easy access of twitter informations.

I'm researching the possibility of styled reporting on Wordpress, fed by Smartsheet data. My idea is to on click or even on frequency/date, get grid content from SmartSheet API and publish to a Wordpress post. I want the columns/cells/rows to output as html objects (ideally integration code allows me to create classes based on column and/or cell content logic) so I can style with CSS.
As someone with strong technical skills but no deep coding ability, am I being crazy to attempt self-teaching and building this? I feel like logically it seems pretty possible. If it is I would learn and execute myself.
Thoughts on how feasible, potential roadblocks?
Getting data from Smartsheet via its API into a Wordpress page is achievable. The biggest hurdle I can see you running into is since the Smartsheet API doesn't have support for CORS you won't be able to make requests to the Smartsheet API directly from the page on the front end. You'll need to build out some back end code that lives on your server that interacts with the Smartsheet API and your Wordpress site calls that code to get the data it needs.
We have a web based system that we are looking at replacing our existing "help system" from uploading flash videos directly to our website to instead "embedding" content we upload to our vimeo account. We have setup a vimeo pro account and these videos need to be "private" i.e. not accessible to the general public. Which API version should I use? And do you have any sample code in say PHP I could take a peek at with the functionality we are after
The Advanced and Simple API's will no longer receive new features, and soon you will not be able to create new apps for them.
Vimeo has moved towards a unified API, which you can read about at http://developer.vimeo.com/api. Make sure to use the api through api.vimeo.com, not vimeo.com/api/rest/v2.
Vimeo has an official PHP library, with some very basic examples that you can see at http://github.com/vimeo/vimeo.php
I'm converting my Play 2 application to a SPA and I'm trying to figure out how to still use SecureSocial for authentication.
I'm removing all the HTML templates (except the ones used by SecureSocial to send emails) and modifying my controllers to only provide JSON responses.
Is it possible to prevent SecureSocial from rendering HTML and let my application exchange authentication data in JSON format? Is there any example or tutorial that explains this topic? I've been googling for a few days now and unable to find any useful or at least understandable information for a newbie like me.
Latest changes in master made SecureSocial more friendly with mobile and SPA apps. You can now use the LoginApi controller to authenticate a user using the UsernamePasswordProvider or any of the OAuth2 based providers.
Developing an AIR based app that captures video. The user will then be able to upload to facebook if they so choose.
Right now I am confused about the requirements in uploading videos to facebook.
Even though this is technically NOT a facebook application, will I need to create a Facebook application ID?
Will I also need to make use of the facebook-actionscript SDK?
I've read elsewhere that the API needs to launch the Facebook login within a web view.
Or are there alternatives in my case?

Yes.

Talking to the API works over HTTP – so you can use any technique that allows you to make HTTP requests.
But using a framework/SDK that already has methods for usual FB API stuff will be much simpler, than handling all that HTTP stuff yourself.
i'm trying to make a chrome extension and I need the have an options page where the user is able to login. this way the extension knows who he is and can retrieve specific data from a server.
I'm not sure how to do this. Any one has a tutorial page or, better yet, a sample code?
thank you all!
A number of extensions use OAuth or OpenID for authentication. There is a tutorial for OAuth on code.google.com. You could also just use a username/password and make a XHR request to validate them. It really depends on the site and what authentication methods it offers.
You need an authentication engine... In other words you need to have a backend for your chrome extension which handles logging in and logging out. This is extremely easy to do. You can use a backend as a service if it's a small project (look at Parse or Firebase) or write your own backend using a framework like Ruby on Rails.
http://rubyonrails.org/; https://www.parse.com/; https://www.firebase.com/
Options pages are well documented on the official docs, including sample code.
