The API lacks some clear explanations on retrieving the reachestimate for either an ad account or an ad. I have made sure that:
I am an admin/ or added to a Facebook app
I have a paid advertising campaign
The adaccount ID is added in the Settings Advanced panel of the Developer App page
I've been trying to:
In Graph API Explorer, retrieve the data by query expansion: me?fields=adaccounts{campaigns{adsets{ads{reachestimate}}}}. However, I always get one of the following (randomly):
Still in the explorer, retrieve it by direct access: act_{adaccount_id}/reachestimate I get this, even if I am 100% sure the ad account is added in the Advanced Settings panel:
Both of 1 and 2 in the iOS project. I get this: com.facebook.sdk.core error 8
Test it by curl with the example from here. I get this (the same with the one from point 2): The ad account is not enabled for usage in Ads API.
Just as a further note, for point 1 that's not the whole query, but I didn't write the adjacent fields because they would've been redundant for the purpose of this question.
I simply need to retrieve the ad accounts, the campaigns, the ad sets and the reach estimate simultaneously in the same query. It seems like a dead spot for me. Do you have any suggestions? Can you show me a Graph API explorer working example? Or, if what I'm asking is impossible, can you simply show some code that works?
Are you app and ad account owned by the same person?
Facebook Ads API has tiered access. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/access
A newly registered app is in Development Tier and can only access the user's own ad accounts. You need to make some API calls on your own ad account for testing in order to get promoted to Basic Tier and manage other people's ad account.
Apparently, I got:
Please reduce the amount of data you're asking for, then retry your request.
Because the query was to broad. Those 'adjacent' fields actually triggered a massive query, so the solution was to either:
Put a limit(1) on the campaigns.
Individually retrieve the reachestimate for each adset.
I chose the latter because it suited my needs, but it's up to you which solution works better.

How smartsheet developer tool account is different from paid account.
Also how developer account can be use for API call as pre-production environment.
Developer Tools can be enabled on any Smartsheet account. Having the Developer Tools enabled allows you to create an app for implementing the OAuth flow.
The purpose behind having a separate Developer account is to ensure you can experiment with the Smartsheet API without worry of making changes to critical items needed for every day work.
Since the Developer account is signed up with a different email address than the one you use for your main Smartsheet account it is a completely separate environment. But, it still acts like any other Smartsheet account. Without sharing the account to items in Smartsheet it won't be able to access them. This way you can create Sheets, Reports, and Dashboards to simulate the data you will be working with. Then as you make API calls to them you know you aren't causing issues for the real items people at your company are working on in Smartsheet.
One approach would be to share the Developer account to a collection of things you will eventually be running your requests against in production from your main Smartsheet account. Then in the Developer account make copies of those items. Once this is done you can un-share the Developer account so that it no longer has access to the real items in Smartsheet. Then you can make requests to the API to test your code and see the results as it would really happen. Once you've proven your code works you can adjust the access tokens and id numbers of Smartsheet items to work for your production stuff.
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
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

d. User Privacy and API Clients
You will comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations including those applying to PII.

Reading Google Analytics API docs is like diving into Mariana Trench... so hoping to get some help here.
I have a website that users will visit one page per visit (most of the time). I've placed google analytics script on each page (can view reports in my GA account) and now want to write a "reporting page" on which to display information about "per page usage":
page1: 100 visitors, countries, OSes, ...
page2: 125 visitors, countries, OSes, ...
I want to get this info from API.
Could some one please point me to the right pages of the docs, from the very beginning?
For I can't understand even why I should use 2-step OAuth authorization there (or shouldn't I?) - since I'm writing this report for my own site on which I have already placed google scripts thus authorizing everything.
Thank you.
What i am thinking is that I could have a Webapplication with your pages listed. Web application itself is authenticating and querying the result on when user try to find statistics of particular page.
You should follow
1. Register Service account and get authentication key file
2. Register email account viewed in along clientid email a screen in google analytic users as admin level user
3. Use ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/explorer for query building
4.Implemenation needs
a) First Authenticate with the key
b) Get profile id and pass it to the fetching method
c) Fetch data of the query
I have an application which wants to provide customization for users once they log in. Simple things like displaying a profile image and job title. This information is available in the Google Apps Profiles API, but the domain-admins are concerned about overreach with the scope. In particular, they don't want to approve the application if it has write access when it isn't needed.
The regular scope (with read/write) for the API according to the API Documentation is https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/profiles and I have tried all of the following with no luck
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/profiles.readonly
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/profiles.read
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/profiles/#readonly
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds.readonly
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds.read
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/#readonly
What scope can I specify in order to get read-only access to the Profile data? If I'm barking up the wrong tree entirely, where should I be looking?
Any non-admin user can access the GAL programmatically, see:
https://github.com/google/gfw-deployments/blob/master/apps/shell/gal/gal_feed.sh
I don't believe this api call is documented or supported officially. Note that the Global Address List is a compilation of user profiles, groups and shared contacts. If you don't want to see groups and shared contacts you'll need to figure out how to parse them out.
You need the user account under whose credentials the code is running to be either:
super admin or
to be listed under CPanel > Domain Settings > Admin Roles > [...put it in a created/user role...] > "Provisioning APIs" > Users - create/update/read/delete (as required, ticked ON). For example, for read only access to the Profiles API, set it there to 'read'.
I wrestled with this myself. I was not able to get this to work either.
I am implementing espn api, but having some issue, most api gives me this response.
{"timestamp" :"2013-02-25T11:19:02Z","message" :"This action is forbidden for the requested resource at your permission level. Please review the documentation for account level access.","status" :"error","code" :403}
I am using this api Espn MLB Standing
I want to know that where to review the documentation, i is there any need to purchase some api or anything else?
[EDIT]
One more thing there is ?apikey=:yourkey , so this key is same for all user or we have to get this according to user login.
I think you are using the wrong apikey or there is some issue in your URL query.
Your app will have a unique apikey. This key is same for all users who are using the app.
You should get a apikey by registering to their site and use it for development purpose.
My rep doesn't allowing commenting, but I thought I'd add the following here:
A small amount of ESPN API data is free, but much requires payment.
You probably don't want to publicly share your personal API key for security reasons.
Go to http://developer.espn.com/io-docs and plug in your API key and use the GUI to generate an API call/response. It's a good way to see a valid, working syntax that you can then drop into your app and edit as necessary.
