As an iOS application owner, I would like to know whether the SoundCloud API allows me to grab a list of tracks (and their URLs) uploaded from my application.
The documentation is not very clear in this respect, as it does not provide a clear list of parameters to send, more specifically it implies using an ID parameter which is simply described as "an Integer ID".
Can anyone who has achieved this result give me some guidance in this respect?
PS - posting here as SoundCloud support page indicates that their team will answer technical questions here.
agreed, the literature on this is very vague
https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/reference#apps
Soundcloud support claims that "Our team is answering technical questions on Stack Overflow"
i hope they can provide an answer to this

Lots of sites adds "?ref=###" in their URL, facebook/imdb etc. Now I checked this question and it appears that the reason is to keep track of what "referred" the users to that page. But I don't understand, what's the point of doing that? Is it for analytical or functional purposes?
As David said in the comment, it could be for any purpose they'd like.
In case of Facebook, it is mostly used for statistical tracking. It helps developers to understand where their traffic is coming from so that they can better optimize their Facebook integration. This data can also be seen in the App's insight under Referrals. According to one of the comments in the question that you've linked, a functional use of ref=ts parameter it to disable the mobile redirect, so some Facebook app developers use it intentionally to serve mobile users the desktop version of the site.
You can find more info at: Fbdev Ref Wiki and Referral Tracking documentation.
I currently need to collect pictures-comment (someone comment by pasting a picture) from facebook page group
I have done some research and find that
1.Support for this hasn't yet been added to the Graph API and as with many of the other messaging APIs, it's currently only avaialable for testing (i.e you must be a developer of the app to use it presently)
from
View attachments in threads
2.You have to use the old php SDK until graph supports attachments

could any one provide some codes to me?
I need to know
Are the two approaches really works?? If yes, then... If no, I guess i will need to write/find a crawler (but it again sounds difficult as facebook group page is dynamic web)
What should I do if I want to follow 1st approach?
Should I register as developer and set up an app and...? (I have no experience in setting up facebook app and would appreciate any useful step-by-step tutorial)
If I am going the 2nd approach (php SDK), are there are tutorial as I have no idea what should I do next.
I know java, c++ and little js but facebook apis are something really new to me.
Really appreciate any help.
There are some solutions that use RFID readers to do some actions on behalf of user (post, like). I read that it is so called "Facebook Presence", which was presented on the F8 conference in 2011.
There is a site you use to register a chip token (http://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=presence) but I can't find a word about it at Facebook Developers.
Do you know anything about this? Some API? How to build an application with this?
An article on the topic.
http://www.thetechlabs.com/tech-news/facebook-presence/:
“Facebook Presence” will not become one of the countless Facebook applications in the ever-growing site library. The project was simply showing off their cool new “places” feature which allows users the option to share their current location.
Not sure if this still holds true – but since there is nothing about it anywhere in the docs, I’d say it most likely does.
a client has asked me for a Facebook application similar to a news reader, that when a user reads a story, it will post on the user's activity stream "User A read an article", on his behalf. You may have seen this on the Guardian, Yahoo, or Washington Post FB apps.
Any ideas on how I should get started? Ideally, is there any product/SDK I can purchase to shorten the development effort?
Thanks!
I don't know of a "product" as such, but what you're talking about is Facebook's Custom Verbs, to "Define Actions"

There's a good simple tutorial about the usage in issue 226 of Net Magazine.
http://www.netmagazine.com/shop/magazines/april-2012-226
I've not come across a tutorial as simple as that one by Googling so it might be worth the purchase - a digital version is available from the link above.
(please be aware, I'm in no way affiliated with the magazine, I just picked it up from Tescos the other night and it happens to have exactly that in it!)
Facebook has question posts where you ask a question and provide a few options for people to select per their suitability. I want to know if a facebook app can create question posts and then use data from the answers to make analysis. Lets say there is an app and user ABC interacts with it, the app helps user ABC spit out a question to user ABC's social circle; then the app displays graphs of how people answered that question. Is this possible?
As of today, Facebook Questions isn't available through their API or exposed via their FQL tables. You should be able to get this information once they expose it to either of these two. If you can't wait, you could write your own app that takes the Facebook friends to a link to answer the question but it won't work as smoothly as their native Facebook questions. You can suggest that they add this ability here.
They just added the ability to post questions (read has been available for a while)
