Facebook like wall - language-agnostic

I would like to know if someone knows about a already open source api for a facebook like wall?

If you mean a list of recent posts, then you just get the data from the database and display it in a "wall-like" way.

Retrieving Chrome Store Extension details via API

I've been wondering if there's a way to retrieve Chrome Store Extension details with an ID of the extension. I found the API but it seems to be limited to only YOUR extensions, but I'm hoping to be able to take an extension...
For example (Clear Cache):
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clear-cache/cppjkneekbjaeellbfkmgnhonkkjfpdn
Use the ID of the extension and request a JSON:
https://www.googleapis.com/chromewebstore/v1.1/items/cppjkneekbjaeellbfkmgnhonkkjfpdn
I'm hoping to get the rating, description, number of users, an icon, maybe dev's website and things like that. I figured there's probably a way but the docs keep looping me back to the same pages and I end up where I started. Maybe someone has got the endpoint I'm looking for.

Calling Instagram 'www.instagram.com/explore/tags/{tag}/?__a=1' returns Instagram Login Page

I have used the https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/" + Tag + "/?__a=1 to fetch some posts information related to a specific tag. I do not know what is the problem exactly, but used to my code worked properly, and now as output I have Instagram login page. I would appreciate if anybody could help me in this regard.
def get_ig_page(url):
contents = request.urlopen(url).read()
return contents
I could also reproduce the behavior, but an easy solution is not available.
I have read this: "... the new Instagram Graph API, integrated now inside Facebook Graph API, introduced a new so-called Hashtag Search API which replaced the former Instagram Tag Endpoint."
The API was deprecated a year ago and was apparently working until now. You might need to update to the new Facebook Graph API, but I am not sure.
The new hashtag search seems to be what you need to use now.
You also might be able to use the instagram basic display API.
P.S. Happy to learn about something else if anyone finds an alternative.
I faced the same issue. The problem is if you hit the explore tags API too frequently, they put a kind of ban on your IP for some time which redirects you to the login page.
However, the good part is that it gets lifted automatically between 24-48 hrs as it did for me.
I hope it gives a sigh of relief :)
PS: I hit this API more than 1k times in an hour to fetch 100k posts and it worked pretty fine.

How to retrieve URL from online server to MS Access

I have a lot of pictures that is going to be hosted online on a dedicated server. Is there a way for me to retrieve URL's from these images and attach them to Access fields automatically?
Edit:
I want to add about 1000 pictures taken from a cell phone to a Hostgator server. The cell phone is already connected to a computer which can access all the images taken from the phone. Let's say the product is a book which has field name of Name, Price and Image. I don't know exactly how the automation would work but I was thinking of something like this:
The user inserts the name of the book and the price of the book but in the place of the image the user clicks a button which uploads the image to Hostgator and also retrieves the URL of the image from there and pastes it into the field.
I have limited experience in Access and VBA so I don't know if something like this is possible. Any other alternative to store image online and get the url pasted to the image field will be greatly appreciated.
I have no knowledge about Hostgator nor the upload process, but the download part can be resolved as explained in detail in my article with full code and demos:
Show pictures directly from URLs in Access forms and reports
Code is too much to post here, but it can also always be found at GitHub:
VBA.PictureUrl

Finding new pages on a website

I'm wanting to know how to find newly created pages for a specific website.
The more info I can get, the better. Info such as; date created, etc.
So for example: I'd like to be able to find out every new page that shirtoid.com uploads/creates.
What's the best way to do this? Is there a software that does as well?
Thanks.
They have an RSS feed which you can follow. You can use an rss reader to get updates automatically. Or if you want to use the data inside some software ur trying to develop then I'm sure there is a library for working with RSS feeds.

Embed user entered phone number to url

I am new to this forum and I am almost complete novice with HTML coding
My requirement is as below.
I just found out that my VOIP provider has a feature called Dial By URL and it works as it sounds
Sample URL
https://soho66.co.uk/url_dial.aspx?f=1000027806&h=87EF4366186C4E4A5F4A705&t=0123456789
I would like to use this feature in my joomla website by asking the user to input their phone number, recaptcha verification and press Call Now button to establish the connection.
As you can see in the above link the last 10 digits are the phone numbers.
Can anyone help me to achieve this please?
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Your question is a bit vague. You really need to do some research into joomla components to get you started.
Have a look here http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_simple_component_-_Part_1 or google search 'joomla component'
