I'm looking into using the Facebook Graph API to look through posts from public pages to help clients with competitive benchmarking. After going through the docs on App Review and Page Public Content Access, I'm wondering how likely I could get approval for this.
Under common uses, Facebook categorizes the following as "acceptable":
Provide aggregated, anonymized public content for competitive benchmarking, understanding what content resonates with people and identifying best practices
and the following as "unacceptable":
Businesses cannot transfer or sell customer insights or competitive intelligence data to third-parties apart from the Page owner
What exactly is the line between the two?

My company would like to make use of StackOverflow as a forum where developers can ask technical questions about our REST APIs. I found that there is a principle of "branded tags" (e.g. stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/your-company-name) that we could use to guide our customers to StackOverflow. From experience we know that a lot of developers publicly start sharing their private API keys (which are part of the URL by design) when they are posting questions. As API keys should be kept confidential, I would like to check how StackOverflow prevents developers from publicly sharing their API keys when posting a question. Alternatively, can we (as a company) do something to prevent this?
Many thanks!
Hi i create application that is common to youtube and i`ve got some questions. I use google login(oAuth), so i keep in my database all things required to use google APIs for every user that wants to log in. The question is if i can use(is it possible and legal) google analytics to get info(like gender of people which shows his/her video or age or region) about every user that is loged in to my application and show it to another users which using my application ?
edit:
I do not know if you understood me well, user log in to my app with his google account, i have in my database his google token, etc. In my application all users have got youtube account and now what i want to do is that if you are log in, you can see user`s statistics from youtube(like the gender of people who watch his/her video and what is thier age) for any user registered in my app. There is a youtube analyse api, which alow you to get your account stats, and if i have access to someone`s google account(i keep toke in my datbase), i couldnt just use it to request that analyse api for every user and in that way get access to their stats. And another question is if i get data in the way that i described(of course if it is possibe), is it legall, if i can display such an info to other users not only to the owner of the account?
Thanks for help

If you are authenticating a user to get access to their Private data. It is your responsibility as a developer to ensure that their data remains private. You should not be sharing data between your users without there express permission.
If the data you are accessing is public then you are allowed to display that data with anyone.
Remember when you created your google developer console account you agreed to this Google APIs Terms of Service
b. Compliance with Law, Third Party Rights, and Other Google Terms of Service
You will comply with all applicable law, regulation, and third party rights (including without limitation laws regarding the import or export of data or software, privacy, and local laws). You will not use the APIs to encourage or promote illegal activity or violation of third party rights. You will not violate any other terms of service with Google (or its affiliates).
d. User Privacy and API Clients
You will comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations including those applying to PII. You will provide and adhere to a privacy policy for your API Client that clearly and accurately describes to users of your API Client what user information you collect and how you use and share such information (including for advertising) with Google and third parties.

I would like to know what would be the integration like to become as a expense provider for Uber? This would be mobile apps along with web.
Cheers!
From an API perspective, aggregating of receipts that would be necessary for an expense provider is not allowed. If the users called the rides through your app, however, that is allowed. See the description here:
https://developer.uber.com/docs/ride-requests/guides/scopes
"request_receipt - this is only granted to apps that request Uber rides directly and show receipts as part of the trip lifecycle. We do not allow apps to aggregate receipt information."
Beyond the API and looking at an integration into the Uber app directly, there are a few large expense providers integrated. This is described here: https://newsroom.uber.com/auto-expense/. I do not believe they are adding more integrations there, but if you work for a large expense provider company like Concur it might be worth engaging via your business department.
Hope that helps!
IS there a limit of connections and time of requests I can send to the Facebook public API?
I do not need to get private informations of the logged in users, but only some public information.
I will get a LOT of data, and I will have to do a LOT of request.
Is there a limit I have to consider?
There is officially no limit that is specified by the Facebook Dev team. However, users did face issues in the past while trying to pull large amounts of data. I believe there was also a bug that was being tracked some time back regarding this.
Facebook limits API access on multiple levels as e.g. per User ID and per App ID. The calculate a 'score‘ per app that defines individual API limits. This depends e.g. on the number of active users but also on the 'smartness' of the requests as well as their CPU and memory usage on the Facebook side. See this for more details https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/api-rate-limiting/
