Uber API /v1/estimates/time responds No authentication provided - uber-api

In order to test if the urls I made is correct, I put them in my browser to see if I can GET results.
First, I tried GET /v1/products which should return all types of cars and I put it in the browser like this:
https://api.uber.com/v1/products?server_token=MY_TOKEN&latitude=39.914286&longitude=116.461745
Which works fine and gives me a big JSON of products:
{"products":[{"capacity":4,"product_id":"0ed2dbad-c769-41f5-b66d-0767da627f9e","price_details":{"service_fees":[],"cost_per_minute":0.25,"distance_unit":"km","minimum":10.0,"cost_per_distance":1.5,"base":0.001,"cancellation_fee":8.0,"currency_code":"CNY"},"image":"http:\/\/static.uberx.net.cn\/car-types\/mono\/mono-peoplesuber2.png","short_description":"People's Uber +","display_name":"People\u2019s Uber +","description":"People's Uber +"},{"capacity":4,"product_id":"6bf8dc3b-c8b0-4f37-9b61-579e64016f7a","price_details":{"service_fees":[],"cost_per_minute":0.25,"distance_unit":"km","minimum":10.0,"cost_per_distance":1.5,"base":0.001,"cancellation_fee":8.0,"currency_code":"CNY"},"image":"http:\/\/static.uberx.net.cn\/car-types\/mono\/mono-peoplesuber2.png","short_description":"People's Uber","display_name":"People's Uber","description":"People's Uber"},{"capacity":4,"product_id":"93a40036-2670-4a41-bc59-1e901ca33632","price_details":{"service_fees":[],"cost_per_minute":0.4,"distance_unit":"km","minimum":20.0,"cost_per_distance":2.3,"base":15.0,"cancellation_fee":15.0,"currency_code":"CNY"},"image":"http:\/\/static.uberx.net.cn\/car-types\/mono\/mono-china-uberx.png","short_description":"uberX","display_name":"uberX","description":"The low-cost Uber"},{"capacity":4,"product_id":"259df3b5-e062-4b2b-ab81-3e3fbba4b423","price_details":{"service_fees":[],"cost_per_minute":0.7,"distance_unit":"km","minimum":30.0,"cost_per_distance":3.85,"base":18.0,"cancellation_fee":20.0,"currency_code":"CNY"},"image":"http:\/\/d1a3f4spazzrp4.cloudfront.net\/car-types\/mono\/mono-black.png","short_description":"UberBLACK","display_name":"UberBLACK","description":"The original Uber"},{"capacity":4,"product_id":"d1b0005e-8e33-44f1-b1e5-b3f98138642a","price_details":{"service_fees":[],"cost_per_minute":0.25,"distance_unit":"km","minimum":10.0,"cost_per_distance":1.5,"base":0.001,"cancellation_fee":8.0,"currency_code":"CNY"},"image":"http:\/\/d1a3f4spazzrp4.cloudfront.net\/car-types\/mono\/mono-electric.png","short_description":"Electric Vehicles","display_name":"a","description":"a"}]}
Then, I tried GET /v1/estimates/time, with the SAME COORDINATES and SAME SERVER TOEKN, I made the url like this:
https://api.uber.com/v1/estimates/time?server_token=MY_TOKEN&start_latitude=39.914286&start_longitude=116.461745
But it returns:
{"message":"No authentication provided.","code":"unauthorized"}
If the token has expired it should not work with the Products API which actually is working fine, so I don't think that's the issue. Please help, thanks.
BTW, I am testing Uber API in China in case the location may affect the results here.

The GET /v1/estimates/time endpoint has a regional dependency which is probably why it's not working for the China location. Try it out after creating your app on the China Developer dashboard: https://developer.uber.com.cn/ and using that server token with api.uber.com.cn.
Documentation for this can be found here: https://developer.uber.com/docs/china

LinkedIn API: fetching our company's posts & profile info

So, I'm making this application, and it's required that it has an embed thingy containing the recent LinkedIn posts as well as basic profile info of the company...
Since I like the Law of Minimum effort, the first thing I saw that made my eyes sparkle was the RSS feed... But it seems like it's been phased out. It just redirects to the company page, period.
Then I realized that we have 2 APIs, v1 being superdead since May.
So, I succesfully generated a v2 access token, keeping in mind that it will have to be renewed every 2 months, but hey, nothing's perfect.
Anyway, I know there's a v1 endpoint that would seem to put me on the right track:
https://api.linkedin.com/v1/companies/{id}:
(id,name,ticker,description)?format=json
However, when I go to the v2 docs (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/authorization-code-flow?context=linkedin/context), there's this entire, very detailed section about Authentication, and a section titled "API guide" which talks about "API Concepts" as well as "Best Practices"... but no section detailing just where the endpoints are and how to use them?????
Please, help me, SO, how do I get a company's recent posts as well as basic info like name and pfp?
Thank you in advance.
UPDATE: I have made progress, I think.
I found this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/shares/company-pages-migration
And this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/organizations/organization-lookup-api
I am making the call and after basically having to guess how to input my token (it must be included as the oauth2_access_token parameter) I get a 403 error DESPITE me being an administrator for the organization I'm looking up.
Call: https://api.linkedin.com/v2/organizations/XXXXXXXX?oauth2_access_token=my-token
Response:
{"serviceErrorCode":100,"message":"Not enough permissions to access: GET /organizations/00000000","status":403}
This makes me think maybe I need to request extra permissions on authentication... but THAT I do not find anywhere (i.e. what the permissions are. I only find really vague stuff with NO details. eg: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/permissions?context=linkedin/context)
UPDATE 2: As suggested by #ManvinderSingh I removed the oauth2_access_token param and instead included my token in the Authorization header. This works awesome for the /v2/me endpoint, for instance, BUT still 403's me on the v2/organizations/XXXXXXXX endpoint for an organization that I am an admin of.
As per the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/authorization-code-flow?context=linkedin/context#step-4-make-authenticated-requests.
You have to send the token in the Authorization header like this.
Authorization: Bearer {access_token}

Google Cloud Storage - Trying to get an Access Token in Elixir

I'm trying to use OAuth2 for Elixir to get an access token to interact with the Google Cloud Storage API. I've been experimenting with the OAuth2 Playground and I can make the requests and they give me back the token. Upon doing a basic GET request (to list the buckets in the project) it all works correctly, but of course I need to get the token automatically inside my app instead of copy pasting.
def token do
client = OAuth2.Client.new([
strategy: OAuth2.Strategy.AuthCode, #default
client_id: "myClientID",
client_secret: "myClientSecret",
site: "https://www.googleapis.com",
redirect_uri: "https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.google.com%2Foauthplayground" #I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHOULD BE HERE???
])
token =
client
|> OAuth2.Client.put_param(:code, "myAuthCode")
|> OAuth2.Client.get_token!()
I keep getting a "Not Found" message.
I'm quite confused by this, if someone could help I'd be most thankful.
EDIT:
Apparently the request should be something like this:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?response_type=token&client_id=myClientID&nonce=someRandomStringIthink&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.full_control&redirect_uri=WHEREDOIGETTHIS
I still have no idea where to find the Redirect URI. The documentation says it should be in the developer's console.
You can check an example for Google Auth here. It covers everything you need to interact with gcs.

Empty response to API call to Facebook Graph

I have been hammering away at this problem for the last day. I really hope someone can help me out. I would be very grateful.
What I am trying to do is fetch event data from a Facebook Page. I looked over the documentation, which says this about reading Pages data:
Reading
A Facebook page
Permissions
For pages that are published, you need:
An app or user access token to view fields from fully public pages.
So what I did was I obtained an app access token via:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?
client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
&grant_type=client_credentials
which then returned
access_token=MY_APP_ID|MY_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN
After this I followed the documentation and made the following call
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/129511477069092/events?fields=id,cover,name,venue,description&access_token=MY_APP_ID|MY_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN
This returned:
{
"data": [
]
}
So after some fiddling around I was able to make the call by switching to version V2.2 and by creating an access key with Facebook API Graph explorer tool(no permissions granted).
GET https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2/129511477069092/events?
fields=id,cover,name,venue,description&
access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_FACEBOOK_API_EXPLORER_TOOL
The page I am trying to retrieve data from is public and so are the events, so I can't figure out what is going on. I know I am super close since I am able to retrieve the data with the token provided by the Facebook API Graph Explorer Tool. The thing with using this token is that it only last a few hours and I need something that is going to last longer such as an app access token. I have done some research on Stackoverflow and found similar questions, but none of them solve my problem. Any help will be appreciated to the max! Thanks.
Looks like a bug of v2.4 to me. It works with v2.3 if you remove the deprecated venue field:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/145634995501895/?method=GET&path=129511477069092%2Fevents%3Ffields%3Did%2Ccover%2Cname%2Cdescription&version=v2.3
If the version is changed to v2.4, it returns an empty result.
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/145634995501895/?method=GET&path=129511477069092%2Fevents%3Ffields%3Did%2Ccover%2Cname%2Cdescription&version=v2.4
There's no documentation about this in the changelog at
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_4
so I guess it's a bug. There's already a bug report at
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/443054055873667/
with status assigned. If you have an app that supports v2.3, I'd suggest you prefix your request like this:
GET /v2.3/129511477069092/events?fields=id,cover,name,description

Facebook graph api - Unsupported get request

I'm creating a custom module in Drupal, that for part of its functionality must fetch posts from a business page. So for simplicity, I'm using fbapp module as a dependency (drupal.org/project/fbapp), so that I can use it's authentication and request functions (fbapp_app_authenticate() and fbapp_graph_request()) without having to worry about the constant facebook graph updates making my own code obsolete.
I've created a facebook app, so authentication should be app token, using appid and app secret. This seems fine and I'm getting back access_token. However, when I try to read posts from a publicly available page (the clients), I get the response:
"Unsupported get request. Please read the Graph API documentation at https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/graph-api"
Here's the queries and responses my code produces:
graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=<redacted>&client_secret=<redacted>&grant_type=client_credentials
array(1) {
["access_token"]=>
string(43) "<redacted>|<redacted>"
}
graph.facebook.com/<page_id>/posts?access_token=<redacted>|<redacted>"
string(183) "{"error":{"message":"Unsupported get request. Please read the Graph API documentation at https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/graph-api","type":"GraphMethodException","code":100}}"
Can anyone verify a correct way to query a Facebook page programmatically, perhaps there's a setting in the page I'm querying that I need to set (although I can't find anything)?
If page restrictions apply, the page's feed can only be retrieved with an user access token as far as I know (because FB needs to evaluate the visibility criteria, and setting your app to the same restrictions doesn't help here):
See
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.4/page/feed#readperms
It looks like everything you have done is correct. The response you got can be (i am not sure) because you got your clients pageid wrong.

I can't use "friends locations" with the Graph api explorer anymore

as the title says, I can no longer use friends locations with the graph api explorer any more(in https://developers.facebook.com). Even if I click all access token checkboxes,(trying to get me/friends?fields=locations.fields(place)) I still get error(
{
"error": "Request failed"
}). But me/locations?fields=place works, so it must be someting with "friends" that makes it to crash.
I was able use it 2 weeks ago, and I have not done any changes, it just suddenly stoped working. if I login with my test Account I can get all the parameters I request, but not on my primary account. Is there any one that has any idea what the problem can be? or why it occurred? I have done everything that I can think of, from using diffrent web browers, deleting all history, use diffrent computer. I have compared the settings for both my test account and my main account, both have the same settings.
I am sincerely sorry if i have misspelled anything.
It happens for me as well for any of the locations methods, but the location method with out the s works. I don't know if that data is usable for you.
me/friends?fields=location,hometown
I have figured out the reason to this problem. I has to do with requests from facebook's api, if i lower the Limit per request it works. Then to save the information I use offset.
