I need some help to fetch a document with Companies House api from his REST API. I don't now how where I get the token_type and the access_token.
Here is the api: https://developer.companieshouse.gov.uk/
Here is the problem: https://developer.companieshouse.gov.uk/document/docs/document/id/content/fetchDocument.html
Can anyone help me with this?.
p.s. I'm using python3.5 and requests module.
Take a look at the bottom of this page this page. The access_token will be provided to you by Companies House, and the token_type is the type of token it is, again Companies House will provide this to you when you register with them.
In short, you can't access this system without a key (access_token) which Companies House will provide when you register.

I have been trying to figure out after referring to their official documentation (Google Ads API Document) which is not clear enough
Here is what I have tried till now.
I have created an app where users can log in with their Google Ad words account. I need to fetch their Ad performance reports via REST API.
To make an API request to fetch performance reports, we need the Google Ad Words Account ID of the authenticated user. Currently, as I am testing it with my personal account, I can login to my Ad words Console and get the Ad Words Account ID. But, how do I fetch the Ad Words Account ID dynamically for other users who authenticate via my App?
I tried looking for a way in their official documentation. But I couldn't figure out.
Could someone help me with the REST API URL which needs to be called to fetch the authenticated user's Ad words Account ID.
In addition to previous answer, I guess this is what you are looking for:
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/first-api-call#create_test_accounts
It explains how to setup Google Ad Words API and get your ID.
According to the documentation here Account overview, you need to list the customers to get the ID. For each user that logs in as long as they do not have access to multiple accounts you should get a single customer and their ID.
CustomerService
CustomerService provides information about your accounts. It has a
getCustomers() method that takes no arguments and returns a list of
Customer objects containing fields such as customerId, currencyCode,
and dateTimeZone. CustomerService also has a mutate() method that can
be used to update various attributes of a customer, including the
autoTaggingEnabled and conversionTrackingSetting fields.
If no clientCustomerId is specified in a request, the response will
contain multiple entries if more than one account is directly
accessible by the authenticated account.
The NFL appears to have an API service here: https://api.nfl.com/docs/getting-started/index.html
Accessing the API endpoints requires obtaining an OAuth2 access token. Which, if I am not mistaken, requires a client_id and client_secret.
I have read through the documentation and I am not sure how I would obtain a client_id and client_secret. Is there something I am missing to create these?
Finally got an answer on this. The documentation does say that the API is public and free for everyone, but they changed that policy and haven't updated the documentation.
Hi Dominic,
Thanks for reaching out. As of Feb. 18th, the NFL has secured the APIs and will only grant access to contractual partners. Unfortunately, if you are NOT a NFL Partner you will no longer have access to the feeds or able to obtain access to this feed.
Thanks,

I'm trying to retrieve the status updates of the authenticated user with the REST API. Is there a way to do that? I only can find a way to retrieve the status updates of the companies the user has admin rights of.
It is no longer possible with the standard LinkedIn API (If you look at their REST console, you can see all the public methods: https://apigee.com/console/linkedin?apig_cc=1).
You now need to join their partner program in order to access additional API methods now: https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs
I refer many document for trying making api Restful like below:
GET /user
POST /user
GET /user/123
PUT /user/123
DELETE /uesr/123
But Backend uses OAuth2 token to retrieve user id, it means that Server will know 123 after get token.
I thought it's not a great idea to put token directly in the id place:
GET /user/aweakleknf11123232sadwanawndajkdnamdal
Is any better practice to the restful OAuth2 API?
While designing RESTful api don't think too much about how your url look, rather it is just representation of your resources.
And moreover it is not good idea to expose domain model of your project if your api is public.
If you have gone through Facebook api design you can see that they refer user as
/me?method=GET&format=json&access_token=...
They have abstracted the domain and just sharing self descriptive representation.
I'm doing a GET for customers with a given email address (there will only be one). Before displaying the returned information, I need to authenticate the user, but I can't see a way in the docs that allows providing a password as a parameter to a GET. In fact It only seems to be possible to provide a password when creating (POSTing) or updating (PUTting) a customer. Is it possible to authenticate customers via the API this way?
from what I understand - _authentication is only supported for POST and PUT on customer objects. I believe it is intended to create a customer who can login and stuff like that.
Can you explain your use case and maybe there is a workaround..
