I'm using the Twitter streaming API and have come across these messages:
{"delete":{"status":{"id":1234,"id_str":"1234","user_id":3,"user_id_str":"3"}}}
Are there any other delete type messages other than status??
I'm finding it difficult to find any documentation on Twitter's dev sites. I know there's the scrub_geo message, but it doesn't start with the delete at the beginning. they look like:
{"scrub_geo":{
"user_id":14090452,
"user_id_str":"14090452",
"up_to_status_id":23260136625,
"up_to_status_id_str":"23260136625"
}
}
I'm needing to know all the other delete type messages both that start with delete and those that don't. I'm wanting to be compliant with the Twitter API terms. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure if this helps. But...
Search for the word "destroy" in the api (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1). Post requests can be sent to delete the following, so maybe the streaming API will push them back.
Status

at my company we want to make use of the relatively new API feature "Automerge" (not through a UI but through an API call),
However we can't seem to find any documentation of a webhook (or other asyc way) of finding out if a merge request failed and why,
anyone know a way to receive such a notification?
Thanks! :)
Hope this saves some work for someone out there,
we asked Github.com support directly and they said there was no async / webhooky way of doing this (as of Nov 2021).
Here's a quote from the support person when asked if there were a way to find out, here's what they wrote:
There wouldn't be a great way to discern that (reason for failure) and
it may be better when you see that, to use the REST API to Get the
Pull Request to get some additional information.
looking at the documentation as suggested in the quote above it seems that through the "closed" action and "merged" key one could discern whether a merge was successful or not, but without any further information about the failure.
I have a use scenario where I'm testing a bot in google hangout. To facilitate testing of multiple users, I'd like to create a series of other bots that replicate the functions of users. But this is all dependent on the bots in the room listening to one another. It also requires that I get the userid of the bots so they can name each other. In Google Scripts I can find no way to retrieve that (the rest API is not an option).
Any suggestions?
The information is documented, but I understand GCP docs aren't the easiest to navigate. According to the Event Format reference: "Only messages from "real", non-bot users are delivered to bots. A bot will never receive messages posted by itself or by a different bot."
So the answer to the question appears to be no. Bots do not appear to be able to talk to each other. When you put the userid in the text property of the bot it does not replace it to an #botname as it does with human users. If anyone can figure out another way to do it I would appreciate it.
But the second question of where to get the bots userid I can now answer and I leave here in case anyone else is curious. This appears only in a message event, when a bot is mentioned as the property event.message.annotations[0].userMention.user.name
I once asked this question.
Is it possible to use Instagram API in order to make a user list according to the number of followers?
And I am not a programmer, just a salesman.
And it seems like we cannot make this influencer finding tool by using "official" Instagram API. So I have looked for other solutions and found a way to get data from Instagram by using other API and JSON.
Please refer to these links.

How can I get a user's media from Instagram without authenticating as a user?
Obtaining Instagram Access Token
My goal is creating an influencer finding tool, so I need to find photos with #tag and make user list accordingly to the number of followers of the user.
My question is;
1 Is it possible to get data such as user name, follower numbers, photos with certain #tag? by using non-official API and JSON?
2 And suppose we made it, then Instagram will find out our products and ban our accounts or service? It seems they do not allow us to use non-official API.
I would appreciate it if you could teach me whether we can make it or not, in a way that you talk to the person who does not know much about JSON or so.
Thank you!
Using unofficial API is always risky, its against their terms and policy.
You can use official APIs to make get this info.
You first have to make hashtag API , which gives you posts with username (no follower count), then for each user, you have make another API call to get user info, this will give you follower counts, bio and other details.
The 2 APIs needed are below, you need public_content scope permission and have to get your app approved by instagram and go to live mode.
https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/{tag-name}/media/recent?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
I see on Smooch there is a way to retrieve all messages for a given user, using GET /v1/appusers/{smoochId|userId}/messages but how can I get a list of all users (or, at least, all userIds) who are currently using my app. There doesn't seem to be an endpoint for that in the API. Is this possible?
Unfortunately, it's not possible at this point. However, you can subscribe to webhooks (listening for the message:appUser event) and keep track of your users yourself.
See https://docs.smooch.io/rest/#webhooks for the details about webhooks.
I'm currently trying to develop a Chrome extension which can receive notifications using GCM. When the extension is first installed, I register it using chrome.gcm.register(['my_sender_id'], function(registration_id) { console.log(registration_id); });.
I would like to send push messages to everyone who has the extension installed. However, the problem is that GCM requires you to specify the registration ID's of everyone you want to send the message to; you can't just send it to everyone who's connected to the sender ID.
While it would be possible to push the registration ID to a database when the extension is installed, and then consult this database each time I want to send a message, this solution seems sub-optimal (also from a security point of view, since the pushing of the registration ID would be done client-side).
However, Google introduced a solution for this a few years ago: topics. It's possible to simply register each device to a 'global' topic (for example) and when you then want to send a message, you only have to specify the 'global' topic as the receiver. However, I can't find how this registration process is done for Chrome extensions. I've looked everywhere, but it seems like Chrome's GCM module doesn't support this yet. Am I correct in this and if so, is there an alternative way to pull this off?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
If you call chrome.instanceID.getToken and then use the InstanceID API from your server to subscribe to a topic, it seems to work, but then the chrome extension doesn't get messages when you push to that topic, so I'm not sure if Google just needs to enable something on their side to make it work. But this is the closest I could get to it in any case.

Thanks for the great feedback. There is no way at the moment to subscribe to a topic from a browser. We're aware that having such an API would simplify the development model. We'd love to add this to Firebase, but as usual can't make any promises or commitments.
