Can you track events such as, who checked-in, who uploaded pictures on a certain venue on Foursquare? Im not only talking about numbers but also the user involved on the event. Is this possible? And by the way, im doing this on AS3, will there be some complications regarding this? Thanks
Unless a user authenticates your app, you cannot access their check-in information. You can, however, retrieve photos for a venue via the venues/VENUE_ID/photos endpoint

I am looking to make a website whereby a user will be able to login and register. Once registered and logged in I would like for them to see a list of their own customers and carry out some functionally configured to the user (e.g send an SMS from their registered phone number).
I have seen plenty of tutorials on how to implement both login and register functionality. But I have no idea how to make the information shown be specific to each customer?
Can someone assist by pointing me in the right direction for something like this? Or even a template that may already have it done?
So fair I have been able to create a very basic site (localhost) that has a user login and registration form.
Sending SMS from website is done with paid services, you can search some of them.
User specific website is done for example by using PHP. For example you have form for registration and then save the data into a database. Next time the user comes, you offer him login form, if he logs in succesfuly, you now know who the user is and offer some content according to the user. For example (simplified) you will have a folder named "Peter" and in this folder you will have informations about Peters customers. And if Peter logs in, you offer him data from this folder.
I am using Google Maps API for a project whose functionality is something like below
Functionality achieved:
When user sign in they see map and their current location is traced. Users can mark their favorite location and add a comment.
Functionality required and I need help in:
When any user passes through any location in real time, then my web application should send a notification saying "you are someone's favorite place do you want to add comment and xyz..."
Can anyone help me even with a hint on how I can achieve this for the web application?
P.S: I am not using any mobile application for this purpose. This is a web application.
It sounds like you're already set up with getting the user's location through the browser geolocation api when the page loads. My suggestion is to get the user's location again on a certain interval, every couple minutes maybe. If the new location is more than a little bit different than the previous location, send an ajax request to your server, see if the new location is near one of these favorite places, and if so, display a notification that they are near this place.
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/users/{user-id}/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
I am looking to integrate Facebook into my website. The website is basically an online meeting and the user has to know the host's username to log in. I was wondering if there is a way withing the Facebook API to invite specific users and link them to this meeting object, I was thinking by pulling the invited users User ID and inputting it into a database, so that when the guest goes to the party they just have to log into Facebook and it will bring them to the correct party (by MySQL search matching their user ID with a meeting). I hope I explained this correctly, but is there a way to do this with the API, or even a better way to complete this?
I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple custom push notifications setup in a single AIR App.
What I am trying to do is allow users to setup custom alerts based on information they would like to receive for example say user 1 would like to know when new actions or drama movies are released on DVD, user 2 would like to know when new comedies are released, user 3 would like to know when any new movie is released.
This is a simple example and there are possibly 1000's of options (postcode/zip information).
Thanks
Technically, there's nothing that wouldn't allow you to do this.
The implementation is mostly backend related though, let me just quickly draft a design for that here;
The user's device registers for push notifications at your backend service.
Your service takes the user's id stores in a DB and passes the device token to the corresponding push notification server.
Once the registration is completed, the user selects what items he'd like to get notified of (naturally your backend service has to know this information as well to store it in the DB).
As soon as a new action movie (or whatever kind of information the user registered for) is available, your service looks in the DB what users registered for that kind of movies and sends a message via push.
So a simple database and some server side scripting will get you going.
