I am doing a research regarding cookies usage in REST API. After some researches on the Internet, I still cannot find a REST API which return cookies as part of the REST response. WordPress use cookies for users authentication to the website's admin page, but cookies are not set or used on WordPress's REST API endpoints. So my question is, are there any REST API or REST services which utilize cookies?
I am trying to configure my bot with facebook messanger through webhooks. But when I put my url into the webhook url field I get a message that it is not an HTTPS url. Did they force it to be only HTTPS? Does that mean that everyone who wants to set up his custom webhooks needs to set up SSL certs too?
Anyways, from facebook's Documentation
Webhook Security
All webhook calls to developer-defined callback URLs are made via HTTPS, ensuring transport-level security for webhook payloads.
To provide additional security a HTTP header X-Hub-Signature is included in each POST payload, which you should use to verify that the payload came from a Facebook server.
How to integrate the smart sheet in my php website.i want to show the smartsheet of each staffs in there dashboard. I want to authenticate and show all smartsheet options in dashboard.
You can use the Smartsheet REST API from PHP to pull back information from Smartsheet and display it in a web page. Please see the Smartsheet API Documentation for information. Since Smartsheet's API is a standard REST API using OAuth 2, standard PHP libraries for calling REST APIs will work with the Smartsheet API. Some examples of calling REST APIs from PHP are below:
Using curl and PHP to talk to a REST service
Call a REST API in PHP (Stackoverflow)
How to make REST calls in PHP
Make Yahoo! Web Service REST Calls with PHP
Interact with the Force.com REST API from PHP
If you want to experiment with the API without dealing with OAuth, the Smartsheet API supports User-generated Access Tokens to make authentication easier.
I have an app that only runs on https. So my Pag Tab URL and Secured Page Tab URL have the same https url.
I have noticed that I get a blank signed request for users who are using Facebook on http.
Is there a way by which I can get the users to see my secured content even when they are accessing facebook from http?
Facebook says that this configuration is not supported by design. Apps must be available via both HTTP and HTTPS.

Unfortunately it is necessary you always provide a HTTP alternative
for FB users who want to visit your App under HTTP. In your specific
case, in your http endpoint you will be able to display an specific
message to these users encouraging them to visit the HTTPS version of
your App.
I understand that the Twitter API documentation is fairly substantial, but I was wondering if there is simple way to access Twitter API which is similar to Facebook's API?
For instance, we can access facebook's APi as follows:
https://graph.facebook.com/btaylor?access_token=dfjsmdjfsmjfsmljfd
Notice the parameter access_token appended to the URL.
Can we do something similar in Twitter's API ?
For instance:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json&access_token=dklfjsdkljfskldf
Is it possible? Or am I missing something?
Best Regards.
If you just need to search Twitter, then you don't have to use the API. For example, if you want to search for "django", simply request https://search.twitter.com/search.json?callback=?&q=django and you'll get your json.
Using the API requires that you first use OAuth to authenticate (Basic authentication is no longer supported). If you are familiar with the Facebook API, then perhaps you are familiar with oAuth already, as the Facebook API also uses OAuth.
Once you have the authorization info for your user, you don't pass it in URL, but in the request header, along with the URL for what you want, such as http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json if you want the user's home timeline.
If you've registered a Twitter application, then you can use Twitter's API console at http://dev.twitter.com/console to see what various requests and responses look like.
Here's a full header example:
GET /1/users/show.json HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Connection: close
User-Agent: OAuth gem v0.3.4.1
Authorization: OAuth oauth_nonce=\"ijasef982JIOase09u23f90ha3f9u53OWEIFH249A1X\", oauth_signature_method=\"HMAC-SHA1\", oauth_timestamp=\"1287510730\", oauth_consumer_key=\"091oi0uJH23h080hfaAF2z\", oauth_token=\"1515151-X09WeowihwefOIWEOFIHWEFo09823408924f08heFK\", oauth_signature=\"Jht%2FEk98092j3fSAI0923fLXpw%3D\", oauth_version=\"1.0\"
Host: api.twitter.com
