I have around 100 locations and would like to display the last five locations that have been checked in on my website and who by...
I'm wondering if this is possible and how to go about it?
You cannot view a user's check-ins without the user authenticating your application.
See: https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/community
However, there is a source of public check-in information. Some users choose to share their checkins with Twitter. These checkins are public (anyone can see the details via the URL), so you could use that in some way.
Hope that helps

I had this idea for an app/extension that adds functionality to Instagram by allowing the user to categorize all of the people/accounts they follow into groups related by subject (ex. Memes, Friends, Sports) and have the ability for the user to select certain groups they want to display in their feed. However, I'm not sure if the Instagram API can let me edit/get info about the users feed and their followers so I'm wondering if there is some other API/library I could implement or if Instagram's API can let me do this.
Any advice/tips about the following would be greatly appreciated
editing/adding custom UI to existing webpages
how to retrieve information about IG posts (ex. The account that posted)
Feel free to ask any questions I will try my best to respond as quick as I can.
Thanks
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 know that how to expend detail from an email group, but may I know any method to revert to check the email is belong to which group? I see that Outlook 2010 can show "Member Of" tab when highlighted a contact, but how I can do similar thing by API?
Thanks
A similar question was posted on the MSDN Exchange Server Development forum and here's what Glen Scales said:
"EWS wont give you details about group membership of a users (it also wont return extra properties from Active Directory like you could in Mapi). A few things that you can do in EWS is expand a group using the expandGroup operation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange/microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.exchangeservice.expandgroup%28v=exchg.80%29.aspx.
The other thing you can do with Groups if you have Exchange 2010 is take advantage of any of the MailTip operations.
For what you want to do you would be better to use LDAP directory to lookup Active directory and get the group membership or if you really wanted to use an Exchange API look at using the Exchange Management Shell cmdlets."
The link he provided doesn't work - I assume he was pointing here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.exchangeservice.expandgroup(v=exchg.80).aspx.
I am no longer working with the person who originally created my Chrome extension, and I need to manage and push updates to the extension for our current users.
Is there any way of transferring ownership? He is happy to do it, but has not been able to find a way.
You have to fill in some forms with Google.
You can find the Chrome Web Store account transfer request form here: http://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/bin/request.py?contact_type=dev_account_transfer
You may create a Google Group and use it as your publisher.
Remember that:
You can only set up group publishing once and create one group publisher account.
If you want to transfer extension to group, then:
Select "All Publishers" in the dashboard.
Under target group click "Transfer your existing item(s) to this publisher".
In practice I was able to share publishing access among group owners, not group participants, but you may experiment yourself.
Assuming that we're talking about an extension hosted on Google's extension gallery, there's no mechanism for transferring ownership available in the developer dashboard. Transfers of ownership have to be done manually by someone internally. The extension's owner will need to send an email to the "chromium-extensions" group explaining the situation, and someone from the extensions team will get back with you relatively soon to get the details.
Until there's a better mechanism for this (multiple owners, for instance), I'd suggest that you create a new Google account to share between the extension's owners, and ask for that address to be assigned ownership.
I'm building a site that will allow sellers to:
list their products on my site
have each product link back to the seller's site
be charged for each link clicked
What I need to do now is to somehow make sure that I am only logging actual human users following the links to the sellers site. If it's a bot crawling the site, I shouldn't be charging the sellers for that.
Is there a way for me tell bots not to follow a certain link? I don't think it's nofollow as that is not intended to block access to content.
The way to tell a bot not to follow a link is precisely to add rel=nofollow to your <a> tag.
Assuming you are also logging locally before forwarding to the external url you could also check the user agent string.
In fact, if you are going to ask people to pay based on number of referrals it might be an idea to log IP address and user agent against each paid for click in case your stats are ever questioned.
You just add a [robots.txt] file, e.g. like this one.
You can find more info about [robots.txt] files on the net, e.g. in Wikipedia.
Typicall you can identify them by the user agent string. You can find a list here, can't say it's perferct, but it's a good base to extend: PHP/MySQL - an array filter for bots
Robots.txt is another way, more about it here
