I am developing an app that needs to be notified in case the Facebook Safety Check is activated.
Basically I need to gather about the context (what, when, where, ..) and also list the users "safety" status.
Is there a way to query the Safety Check through the Facebook API ?
Is there a way to simulate a Safety Check activation for testing purpose ?
Thanks for your help

I found a previous question very similar to mine, however the other developper needed to write to Firebase and I don’t, hence this near duplicate question:
I have a very simple database with about 150 documents and the users don’t need to authenticate to use my app. Authentication just don’t make sense for what the app does and users only read the database, they don’t write.
My current rules are read allow only which of course triggers the Firebase rule warning daily.
1) Is there a way to set rules similar to “only requests coming from my app can access it”. Given that the app is linked to firebase one would think it’s possible?
2) If I must use authentification, is there a way that I can do this behind the scenes so that the user is unaware of that? Maybe by using a UUID to identify a user and no password or something like that. I want to avoid showing a log in screen at all cost. Think of it as asking to log in to check gas prices...
** This is an iOS app
No, it's not possible.
You can use anonymous authentication to create a user account without requiring a sign-in.
I have just submitted an application for access to the Uber Driver API including details of my intended use of the service for the benefit of drivers.
Uber's response was "we will let you know if we think there is a fit".
Does anyone know if this is literally true? Or is there some period of
time after which I assume that my application has been rejected?
Better still, is there a way to find out a rejection status and appeal?
Uber as of now don't provide a way to track the progress of your application to access the Driver API, If your use case is really helpful for the driver and Uber also think that is, along with other parameters like number of current user base etc., they might consider.
You can always checkout the developer support page
Today I have been trying to implement the rest API into my application to look up transaction information from a transaction ID (GET /v1/payments/sale/)
I have implemented everything correctly on my end and set the mode to "live" and I can't seem to get details from a transaction.
Here is the full error code:
{"name":"REQUIRED_SCOPE_MISSING","message":"Access token does not have required scope","information_link":"https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#REQUIRED_SCOPE_MISSING"}
And here is documentation on what I am trying to do: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/#look-up-a-sale
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
There are few things you could do to make sure your configurations are set right.
If the mode is set to live, are you using the live credentials instead of sandbox. You can select the sandbox app and copy the live credentials from there. See bottom part of this image.
Make sure Payments are enabled on live. PayPal has a dashboard page, where you could see all the services that you have enabled to work with Live environment. This prevents accidents on unknowingly using an API on live. You can check the status here
Is the sale that you are looking for created by the same clientId that you are using for making a GET call ? Only the app who creates the sale, can view the sale.
In the mean time, PayPal has created SDKs for many languages to support REST APIs. They are actively developed, and maintained, and could help you mitigate issues in handling tokens, credentials, etc, and allows you to quickly use APIs faster and in a way that could be upgraded easily. Also, few SDKs come packaged with Sample codes, and wiki documentations. Few are still under development, but you can feel free to contribute back to these open source SDKs.
When I had this issue, the problem was that I was making REST requests using the Identity API token. Basically, I was logging users into my website with Paypal then using that token for REST requests when another token from the REST API service should have been used. "
Here is the support ticket from Paypal SDK deveoper Randy who helped answer my question even though I do not use the SDK. Thanks Randy:

As the title says, I would like to check if the user has deleted his consent on Future Payments in his PayPal profile. I am currently only testing in the Sandbox environment with the iOS mSDK and the Java REST API SDK.
I expected that creating new accessTokens using the refreshToken would throw an error, but it is still possible. Then I tried to query Userinformation, but this is also possible.
If I create a new Payment, then I get an error (REQUIRED_SCOPE_MISSING). But isn't there a way to check that without creating a transaction each time?
you can always call updateBillingAgreement API to check whether it is active or not.
Paypal also has IPN setup to adhere this kind of notifications.https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/acc/ipn-info-outside
I found no good solution for this problem without using IPN (not tested yet). I am now using a workaround as described here: https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-iOS-SDK/issues/189.
Conclusion: An accessToken generated with the refreshToken has the value "900" in the field "expires_in" if the user consent still exists. Otherwise, it is "28800".
Does anyone have a better solution?
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.
