is there a way to jump directly to a specific ride over the Uber deep link API? With the setPickup action I can directly request a new ride. Is there an action like 'showPickup' which would open the Uber app and jump directly to a specific ride?
Thanks for a reply

No, it is not currently possible to go to a specific ride id. That said, it shouldn't ever be needed as Uber only support a single ride per rider at any given time so if you open the app while the user is on-trip it will always open to the existing ride.

We've got an iOS and Android app where we plan a trip, with the possibility to open the Uber app to request an Uber. As you already entered your pick-up and drop-off location, we use the "Standard Deep Links" functionality (see link (A) below). We pass the pick-up and drop-off location by the parameters described in the Uber documentation.
Since a while, the Uber app doesn't use the pick-up and drop-off location parameters anymore. For instance the following link just opens the Uber app and doesn't pre-select the trip.
uber://?action=setPickup&client_id=<CLIENT_ID_FROM_DEVELOPER_DASHBOARD>&pickup[latitude]=52.3876077&pickup[longitude]=4.626904&dropoff[latitude]=52.3880485&dropoff[longitude]=4.6387838
Can anyone from the Uber developer team look in to this? Why is this link not working anymore?
Thanks in advance!
(A) https://developer.uber.com/docs/riders/ride-requests/tutorials/deep-links/introduction#standard-deep-links
You can use this website to generate a deeplink: https://developer.uber.com/products/ride-requests-deeplink
Afterwards just replace https://m.uber.com/ul/ with uber://
I want to make a simple desktop icon that can be clicked to trigger a Google Hangout API call to a specific user.
I can't seem to find the right API to use or way to go about this.
Any suggestions?
i think this is not possible. the new hangouts api is only to create chat bots.
so you could create a chat bot that starts a conversation with a specific user and forwards your messages.
I have developed an app that retargets customers when browsing a website and I have some problem with UTM tracking and Google Analytics.
For example if a client gets a customer to click on a FB ad and lands on their website they will have a custom FB utm. After browsing the website my app will display a pop-up and when a client clicks on it he receives my custom UTM.
The problem is that clients loose conversion rate data for the original traffic source and I need to figure out a solution.
Help is very much appreciate
It's not a good practices track with utm inside your site, if the pop-up is on the same domain, dont do it?
In you example, if the user comes from FB, yes, you need to tack with the utm, but the pop up is on your site... lets check the option?
If the asnwer is yes, try to track the user with a Custom Dimention on a Session Level, that will solve almost all your problems.
If the answer is no, you can only store a single UTM per sessions, that means that there is no option to avoid the overwriting the UTM, even consider the referal exclusion.

I want to know if I can access a user's play history (more specifically what songs they listen to the most) for an app. The app I am building can perform the same goal with iTunes using their built-in play counter. I know Spotify uses a similar counter, but I assume for privacy concerns they don't want to deal with privacy concerns from concerned users. However, I saw a few instances where it was suggested that this task could be accomplished using Facebook's API, or Echo Nest's API. Please let me know if anyone has some constructive suggestions toward finding a way to legally obtain a particular users 'most listened to songs', or something to that effect.

There's some documentation about Open Graph Music on the Facebook Developer homepage:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/music/
Baseline is that you only can request a User's play history if he gave you app the explicit right to read his data.
The relevant permissions would be
user_actions.music https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.1#reference-user_actions_music
user_actions:{app_namespace} https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.1#reference-user_actions__app_namespace_
Then, you should be able to request
GET /me/music.listens
according to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/action-type/music.listens/ You'll need to perform the aggregation of the most played songs/artists yourself, because there's no endpoint for that.
Adding the "foursquare check-in" ability to an existing app has raised some questions. Mainly, "what to show after the user has checked in?". Within the native foursquare client, after a checkin is completed, it will display a screen showing any badges, specials and points you earned with that checkin.
Since checking-in isn't the primary function of our app, we wanted a way to give the user an option to see this information on demand. We can get all of this information from the API's checkin response, but we didn't want to reinvent the wheel.
We tried using the custom URL for displaying the native application as described here (Client API) but that just displays the checkin information, not the results from it:foursquare://checkins/CHECKIN_ID
Is there a client URL that is undocumented that we can call to display this information, or will it need to be displayed in our app?
There is no custom URL / intent for showing post check-in information. For now you'll need to reconstruct your version of the post check-in screen.
