I'm trying to play around with Uber Riders API. But it doesn't provide the server token by default. All the existing documentation says it'll be available by default but looks like docs are updated recently. How to get access to server token?
I hope not to be duplicating any question, and also not to be asking something too basic.
I´m building a web app in ReactJS, just to get familiar with the framework. I planned to grant access to users using a Facebook login, which I already have working with react-facebook-login. I also have a Spring Boot Rest API, to serve the front-end. But I want to allow access to part of my API just to authenticated users, using the Facebook access token. So in my back-end, I had to do an org.springframework.boot downgrade from 2.0.4.RELEASE to 1.5.10.RELEASE so I can use the Facebook Graph API. Do you guys think this is ok? or should I use a different approach?
And to be honest I´m a little confused on how to achieve a correct validation of the user's request on the restricted areas of my REST API using the access token sent from the front-end, Do you guys have any suggestions on this matter?
Thank you all for your help.
I have searched and searched but i can't find anything to help me use the default web API external login service. I have seen lots of sites but i am getting more confused. As of now, i have used Facebook .NET client to retrieve the user's access token. But i want to use the default individual authentication that comes out of the box with Web API. I also tried to hit the /api/Account/ExternalLogin from postman but i get:
error: invalid_request
Can anyone please help me out. I want directives as to how to handle and use the default external login services that comes out of the box. And also, how can i hit the /api/Account/ExternalLogin endpoint.
not sure if this is strictly programming question (apologies in advance).
We have windows service which is responsible for downloading data from different API's on regular basis, it's just internal tool we are using on our server.
For purposes of oauth2 authentication we use our another tool, which can
handle multiple Oauth logins through different API's, then we just ask this tool for access token and use it in our calls. This works perfectly with e.g. AdWords, BingAds, etc.
Now we have a task to download data from Facebook API. But the problem here is that according to FB we need to apply application for approval in order to get permission to "ads_read" source, which can allow us to download ad insights.
But the problem is that our tool is not an application it does not have any icon, screenshots or Privacy Policy URL. Is there any possibility to get these data without application to FB? Maybe is there another way to login and get the data from user without using oauth2, thus no need for using the oauth2 and scope permissions?
Thanks in advance
As long as you're only using your app with admins/testers/developers of the same app, you don't need to go under Login Review. Only if you also want to authenticate "other" users as well.
For this task I have already created my own facebook application to get the API key and secret key. Can anyone explain the next steps that should be done to
1) Read from facebook API
2) Write my own database
by using web services
Thanks in advance!
A high level answer:
I'm assuming you want to use the authorization code OAuth flow (this means you want Facebook users to give you access to their profiles so you can grab data from there). If so, you need to bring up a web server and an application that will run your users through the Facebook OAuth flow. In case you just want to access Facebook with your own credentials you don't have to have a web server, simply use the client credentials OAuth flow.
So, Once you have a valid access token, you simply make calls to Facebook API using this token. using Facebook Graph API is simply a matter of calling URLs and getting the data as JSON.
You can test-drive the API here.
BTW, according to Facebook's platform policy, you're only allowed to store Facebook data for caching purposes.
Let me know if this helps.
