We are developing an application where we need to pay for different users rides from our own credit card. Kinda Uber Business but without manual adding of accounts. Is it possible with Uber API?
Unfortunately, paying for other users' rides is not possible in the Uber API today.

my team uses many Facebook Business Manager to manage multiple Ad Accounts. Usually our employees will check the Amount Spent and Bill manually in Facebook sites. But now the number of ad accounts increases, I would like to automate the tasks: syncing data from Facebook to our own database (for high manager to view).
I tried with my own Facebook Account (by my own facebook App), I can get the Amount Spent already. My questions are:
What is the API to get Amount Billed, I searched around but not yet found
Because the number of ad accounts is big, what will be the good approach? (I am thinking of create a sole app and let the advertisers authorize it, And use the token to call Graph API; 2nd way is: each facebook user create their own app, this will not need Facebook to approve the app).
Sorry for my bad English, I am really new to Facebook API, please help. Thank you very much.
You can get Budget,Spend... with Ad Set (lifetime_budget,daily_budget)

and get report Cpc,cpm... with Insight

I have a task to integrate facebook marketing api with my web application.
The ultimate aim of my web application is provide a capability for my clients to manage ads without login in facebook. So, I'm asking a question: is it possible to create the only one account for all my clients and manage ads by this account? And if I can, does it right way to use fb marketing api?
Anyway, i would appreciate if someone could give me advice about which approach i should use in my case to manage ads without any client-side authorization.
Yes, you can create ad accounts and run ads on Facebook for any number of clients for nearly any purpose* and not require them to log into Facebook. You can create ad campaigns and creative elements (graphics and links relevant to the client's products) using the Facebook Marketing API in your own ad accounts.
If you haven't seen it already, review the Facebook Marketing API getting started documentation and videos https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-apis
*You're still held to FB terms of service so be sure to review requirements for allowed ad content.
I have created a Facebook app but now I want to modify the Facebook Payout method (I want to change it from a Paypal company account to my bank account). When I logged in the developer dashboard I found it's not allowed to make any changes.
This is what I saw:
I was redirected to StackExchange from the support page of Facebook Developers, is there any one from Facebook can help?
Thanks!
Try this one https://developers.facebook.com/docs/payments/payout_faq/#change
This link answers the following frequently asked questions:
How do I specify who receives the payout from my app?
When does Facebook pay out?
Which countries can Facebook Payments pay out to?
How do I change the payee for an app?
What does 30% revenue share cover?
What tax laws apply to virtual sales made through Facebook Payments?
Does the 30% fee include taxes?
How does Facebook equip developers to comply with local tax laws?
I want to deposit Facebook credits on other users accounts. Is there a way to do that with the Facebook Credits Api?
It could be in a direct way or as a gift card.
Thanks!
I do not believe you can do something like this nor does make sense. Facebook Credits are a centralized currency that is purchased with real world currencies and are valid across the Facebook platform for any app that accepts them. Were something like this supported, one could create an app to grant themselves or others credits that could be spent elsewhere on the platform. Since Facebook pays out real money to developers of apps where credits are spent, this would be equivalent of creating money out of nothing, which is bad for hopefully obvious reasons.
If your application supports the concept of virtual goods that are purchased with Facebook Credits, you could reward your users with those items instead.
EDIT 1:
Is it possible to withdraw facebook credits your facebook application has received? So the received credits can go into your real bank account?
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Is it possible to use facebook users credits to pay for items in a facebook app? If it is possible, can someone please provide a link? Also, how does it work i.e. for 10 facebook credits you have to pay £0.16 or something, and if they pay for an item in a facebook app which costs 10 facebook credits, does that mean the owner of the app gets £0.16? Also, is the owner of the app able to widthdraw this money to his back account. If yes, how much does the whole transaction cost the facebook app developer?
UPDATE 2
as Kurru rightly points out in his answer, facebook credits can be redeemed to developers (just not to users). the Facebook Credits Terms says so, but in a quite convoluted way. better information can be found at Facebook Credits for Developers, incl.
How can I get started with Facebook Credits?
How much can I redeem a Facebook Credit for?
What payment options do Facebook Credits support?
What is the process to ensure timely payout for an app that integrates Facebook Credits, as well as additional apps by the same company?
Which countries can Facebook Credits currently pay out?".
UPDATE 2 END
UPDATE
https://developers.facebook.com/attachment/FacebookCreditsIntegrationGuidev1.pdf , p. 14:
To build user trust, please follow both the Facebook Credits Terms and Platform Policies, including (but not limited to) the following:
Facebook Credits cannot be..
cashed out into real-world currency
used to enable person-to-person funds
used to sell physical or real-world items
Details (Eligibility, (allowed) Transactions, Redemption, Actions We May Take, Transaction-Related Disputes, Other Terms) are in the Facebook Credits Terms.
UPDATE END
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/creditsapi/ :
The Facebook Credits API enables a user to use credits as a method for purchasing digital and virtual goods within a Facebook canvas application. Please note: the credits api is not yet available for use by external websites but only on canvas iframe applications.
As the developer you can get paid as detailed here : https://developers.facebook.com/policy/credits/
3.1
When you redeem Credits with us we will redeem them at the rate of
$0.10 per Credit, less a service fee
of $0.03 per credit redeemed. If we
change the service fee or redemption
rate, the redemption rate and service
fee in effect at the time you accepted
a Credit as consideration will apply
to that Credit. We will give you 30
days notice on the Facebook Developer
Website of changes to the redemption
rate or service fee.
Sounds like they basically take a 30% cut off the top. This can't be used to enable money transfers as specified by the previous answer.
