YouTube API eventType=live not working, does anyone have an idea why?
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&channelId=UCmyKnNRH0wH-r8I-ceP-dsg&eventType=live&type=video&key=
Without eventType was working fine (but not now):
https://www.youtube.com/embed/live_stream?channel=UCmyKnNRH0wH-r8I-ceP-dsg&autoplay=1
Looks like YouTube changed something in API, search.list really not returning live broadcast since end of last week.
If you have user's access token you can use https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/liveBroadcasts?part=snippet&broadcastStatus=active&broadcastType=all
endpoint to retrieve if any broadcast is live.
If you do not have user's access token, you can try this answer
but i didn't check it if it is working
Anyway this question looks like to be a duplicate of this question
Right now the YouTube API is not working, specifically for retrieving live streams of a specific channelId. In other words if you are setting channelId in the API call, you will get 0 results.
If you're using an API key rather than OAuth (not sure if OAuth works) the only work around at the moment is to use the API to search for a specific title. Here is my query URL below.
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=id%2Csnippet&type=video&maxResults=20&order=date&q=My+Uniquely+Titled+Livestream&key=[apiKey]
The results returned by the API will be from all of YouTube. (Note: the rest is done serverside) Put the results into an array and discard any that don't match your channelId. Then check the titles in an array and only get the video ID of the one that matches your desired title. That is the basic logic and it is sort of a rigid work around that won't work for most. But at least it will get you what you need until Google fixes the API.

I am using the GoViral ANE for integrating with Facebook, specifically creating a leaderboard to display in my game.
I would like to highlight the current user's score, but I don't appear to have access to the id that is returned via the APP_ID/scores request.
For example, data is returned in the following format:
{"score":123,"user":{"name":"Colin","id":"1234"}}
The id portion is what I am looking to match to the current user to highlight the score.
I have tried GoViral.goViral.getFbAccessToken() but this is clearly the wrong thing.
I have also tried making a call out to get the current user's score, but it also requires a User Id to make the call, so I am a little stumped on this one.
Searching on Google doesn't seem to return any useful results either.
Thank you for your time.
Ah, it seems I don't need a user id to make the call after all.
The call I was attempting was the following:
From the Facebook developer site:
You can read the score for a person playing your game by issuing a
HTTP GET request to /USER_ID/scores with a user access_token.
With this code:
GoViral.goViral.facebookGraphRequest(
GoViral.goViral.getFbAccessToken() + "/scores",
GVHttpMethod.GET);
However the following call works:
GoViral.goViral.facebookGraphRequest(
"me/scores",
GVHttpMethod.GET);
So using "me" works instead of the user id, which returns:
{"score":123,"user":{"name":"Colin","id":"1234"}}
Allowing me to access the user id.
I can't seem to find the section in their api reference. I tried it as a searchquery but it doesn't seem to work. api.soundcloud.com/stream or /explore return a 404, so that doesn't work either
Thats actually not a part of the public API.
But its quite easy to grab your call from the dev console.
Thats an example call from my user:
https://api-v2.soundcloud.com/stream?user_id=e87647259112403eaa239b6e2c510e46&sc_a_id=e87647259112403eaa239b6e2c510e46&user_urn=soundcloud%3Ausers%3A1672444&promoted_playlist=true&limit=10&offset=0&linked_partitioning=1&client_id=02gUJC0hH2ct1EGOcYXQIzRFU91c72Ea&app_version=a089efd
To make that call work, you need to modify the headers.

soundcloud: Is api-v2 allowed to be used and is there documentation on it?
How to get "all" tracks related to an artist with Souncloud API
Using these endpoints does not go inline with SoundClouds TOS.
I am fetching a list of tracks from soundcloud's API using the following query to retrieve the 5 most popular tracks:
https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks?client_id=XXX&order=hotness&limit=5
But recently SoundCloud removed the hotness order. In the blog post they say tracks can instead be sorted by playback_count. But can this be done in the query or do they suggest I pull down the whole SoundCloud library and order them in the client? The following doesn't seem to work:
https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks?client_id=XXX&order=playback_count&limit=5
So how would one retrieve the top tracks on SoundCloud?
The solution was to use the undocumented calls for the explorer feature that SoundCloud itself uses (I used the dev tools in Chrome to check the AJAX calls).
https://api.soundcloud.com/explore/sounds/category?limit=L&client_id=XXX
This appears to use some sort of sorting on the popularity of the songs. The songs can then be filtered on only music by checking the "grouping" attribute. I then have to resolve the list of IDs to actual songs which can be done with the (documented, official) API call:
https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks?ids=1,2,3&client_id=XXX
This seems to work perfectly and I also get the added benefit of an even distribution among genres. But of course, this can stop working at any moment since the API calls are undocumented and perhaps not meant for public use.
Just wanted to provide an update. It seems soundcloud has moved to v2 of the explore API call.
Use this to get a list of categories:
https://api.soundcloud.com/explore/v2
And this to get tracks from a category:
https://api-v2.soundcloud.com/explore/metal?limit=10&offset=0
So far it seems to without a key, although I have no idea how long that will last.
EDIT: So the 2nd url doesn't seem to allow cross-origin, but so far this does work, though it only returns the trackID not the full information
https://api.soundcloud.com/explore/v2/metal?limit=50&consumer_key=XXX
check here, soundcloud removed order by hotness.
Has order by hotness been removed from Soundclouds API
so, for now, only order by date is possible.
I have an application that uses the Facebook Ads OLD REST API and recently I heard that it will be deprecated in a month, so I'm working hard to migrate all my code to the new Graph API...
Unfortunately, nothing goes smoothly.
when calling to GET /act_{account-id}/adcreatives to get the AdCreatives for a specific campaign the parameter creative_ids is not working and always retrieving all the creative for the account!
This was working fine in the rest api... and no documentation changes were made in ads.getCreatives so I'm assuming creative_ids paramter is still there...
Any help will be appreciated!
thanks,
Yaniv Hakim
I found the _ids parameters to be finicky so I use the generic ids=comma-separated list parameter, without the act_{account-id}. Creative IDS are unique across accounts so there's no need to specify the account-id. If you want to use the specific parameters, have you tried creative_id, creativeids, creativeid and other permutations you can think of (with and without account-id)?
I am using Graph API in my application. I am fetching user's facebook wall feeds using graph API also getting details of particular post i.e (Like count,Comments etc).
but i want to allow user to Like and Comment any post from the application itself.
what is the request format for that?
Please help me or give any pointers.

You would be well served to check out the Publishing section of the documentation. It provides information such as this.
One example is liking, which is defined as:
Method: /OBJECT_ID/likes
Description: Like the given object (if it has a /likes connection)
Arguments: none
Basically, just initiate a Graph API call to something like:
[facebookObject requestWithGraphPath:#"98423808305/likes" andDelegate:self];
That will "like" a picture from Coca-Cola (ID taken from the documentation).
Edit 1
According to the documentation:
Most write operations require extended permissions for the active user. See the authentication guide for details on how you can request extended permissions from the user during the authentication step.
Are you sure you have enough privileges? Unfortunately the documentation is very unclear as to whether it serves the dual purpose of liking the object and returning the likes already on that object.
Edit 2
I did some more research into what could be causing this and came across this question and answer that indicated that the code I posted above using requestWithGraphPath:: should work. However, it does not due to a bug on Facebook's Bug Tracker.
Unfortunately, it looks like there is no way to "like" an object via the Graph API, which seems very strange to me. Perhaps it is possible with the legacy REST API instead of the Graph API?
Edit 3
Well, it looks like your best bet is the stream.addLike method of the legacy REST API which you can still call using the Facebook iOS SDK. You should be able to use the stream.addLike method to "like" something in the "stream". Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to support photos, videos, etc. Only posts and comments.
Finally i found the solution for LIKE option
We should use following method for like option.
-(void) requestWithGraphPath:(NSString *)graphPath
andParams:(NSMutableDictionary *)params
andHttpMethod:(NSString *)httpMethod
andDelegate:(id <FBRequestDelegate>)delegate
graphPath = /OBJECT_ID/likes
Paramas = dictionary with comment ,for like option use empty dictionary
HttpMethod should be POST
you should get response = true if the LIKE request is successful.
