The API documented here - http://developer.yammer.com/restapi/#rest-users clearly states:
"4) Alias to /api/v1/users/current user’s id.format. Supports include_followed_users, include_followed_tags, and include_group_memberships parameters.
GET https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/users/by_email.json?email=user#domain.com`
Yet, when we try this, it does not return any followed user information at all! The request we're using is like so:
https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/users/by_email.json?email=me#company.com&include_followed_users=true
However, this request DOES return followed users, but only for the current user:
https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/users/current.json?include_followed_users=true
Am I missing something completely obvious and being stupid or is there a real issue here? If this was taken out for whatever reason, then you'd have thought that the API documentation would have been updated.
The Yammer Team did eventually get back to me on this. Their response below:
(I've removed https://www.yammer.com from URLs because I don't have enough rep' to post more links)
Hey Jason Dunbar looks like the documentation here is wrong.
I looked in to this and had some conversations with a few engineers this week and have the following (albeit more arduous workaround):
1) Call get user by email endpoint and retrieve the id attribute from here: /api/v1/users/by_email.json?email=user…
2) To grab following users, take that id and:
GET /api/v1/users/following/[:id].json
3) To grab group memberships for that user you'll need to impersonate him/her (verified admin only) and
GET /api/v1/users/current.json
We'll get the documentation updated ASAP with this. Also happy to keep the conversation going to help if needed.
Make sure you are setting the email parameter to the user's email that they are registered with.
E.G. if your company has multiple domains but the Yammer network is under bigco.com and the user is registered with an email under bigcosubsidiary.com you'll need to make a request to the API with user#bigcosubsidiary.com.
-as mentioned - it looks like its only for current.json - you can check it here http://yammer-dev.herokuapp.com/endpoints/4 - hope it helps.

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}
Im building an application that manages comments for instagram business profiles, and i'm a little surprised that there doesn't seem to be a way to get info of the user who made the comment.
The docs seem to point this way too:
Reading a Comment
To read an individual comment's metadata, send a GET request to the /{instagram_comment_id} node and include any of the following fields:
...
user (only returned if the user making the query also made the comment)
So, am i to understand that there is no way to get the info of a user which made a comment on a media of the profile i manage or is there something i am missing? any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
This url worked for me:
v3.0/{comment_id}?fields=id,timestamp,username,text
somehow I was able to get the username from graph API, but I'm not getting the fields name, profile_picture_url, etc. this is my URL for getting the username.
GET https://graph.facebook.com/v2.11
/123?fields=mentioned_comment.comment_id(456){user{id, username}, text}
123 - instagram_business_account id
456 - comment id
You can get full user details from username by Calling Instagram API(Maybe it's against there privacy policy). suppose stackoverflow is the username, by calling this API you will get full data.

I found a good tutorial for building Facebook membership Authentication website which demo file is here > http://niftyandcrackerjack.com/sites/default/files/Test.zip
I wonder this example does not use access token to retrieve Facebook User Info. It use classes inherits from the masterpage. As I am new to ASP.NET, I don't know how to retrieve Facebook user info. Can someone give me and suggestion or explain...... Thanks,
My finding so far indicate that basic information cannot be accessed unless one has either 'userid' or 'username' as in this post.
If one has to try and fetch basic information using following url, then access_token is needed
http://graph.facebook.com/me
Perform an HTTP GET to https://graph.facebook.com/{userid} or HTTP GET to https://graph.facebook.com/{username}
Examples: Click the link below to see the JSON response.
https://graph.facebook.com/4
https://graph.facebook.com/zuck
Pretty cool, eh? And no token needed to get at this public info.
You can get more info on this here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api
I am using Graph API in my application. I am fetching user's facebook wall feeds using graph API also getting details of particular post i.e (Like count,Comments etc).
but i want to allow user to Like and Comment any post from the application itself.
what is the request format for that?
Please help me or give any pointers.

Sanket
You would be well served to check out the Publishing section of the documentation. It provides information such as this.
One example is liking, which is defined as:
Method: /OBJECT_ID/likes
Description: Like the given object (if it has a /likes connection)
Arguments: none
Basically, just initiate a Graph API call to something like:
[facebookObject requestWithGraphPath:#"98423808305/likes" andDelegate:self];
That will "like" a picture from Coca-Cola (ID taken from the documentation).
Edit 1
According to the documentation:
Most write operations require extended permissions for the active user. See the authentication guide for details on how you can request extended permissions from the user during the authentication step.
Are you sure you have enough privileges? Unfortunately the documentation is very unclear as to whether it serves the dual purpose of liking the object and returning the likes already on that object.
Edit 2
I did some more research into what could be causing this and came across this question and answer that indicated that the code I posted above using requestWithGraphPath:: should work. However, it does not due to a bug on Facebook's Bug Tracker.
Unfortunately, it looks like there is no way to "like" an object via the Graph API, which seems very strange to me. Perhaps it is possible with the legacy REST API instead of the Graph API?
Edit 3
Well, it looks like your best bet is the stream.addLike method of the legacy REST API which you can still call using the Facebook iOS SDK. You should be able to use the stream.addLike method to "like" something in the "stream". Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to support photos, videos, etc. Only posts and comments.
Finally i found the solution for LIKE option
We should use following method for like option.
-(void) requestWithGraphPath:(NSString *)graphPath
andParams:(NSMutableDictionary *)params
andHttpMethod:(NSString *)httpMethod
andDelegate:(id <FBRequestDelegate>)delegate
graphPath = /OBJECT_ID/likes
Paramas = dictionary with comment ,for like option use empty dictionary
HttpMethod should be POST
you should get response = true if the LIKE request is successful.
I'm using stream.publish to write to the user's wall and attempted to get "# tagging" to work but with no avail.
If the user's name is Fred and his uid is 1234, I tried sending over "#Fred", "#1234", "#[1234]", "#[Fred]", etc. and couldn't get it to work. The raw string would display every time.
Can someone confirm if this is possible with the API or not? Thanks!
the correct syntax is
#[user_id:1:name]
it shows as a tag, but it doesn't trigger a notification. Anyone knows why?
Maybe you need follow this: NOTE: You cannot specify this field without also specifying a place.
You need to specify a place with the fan page ID of the location associated with the post.
more… https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#posts
reese:
#[user_id:1:name] - It will replace it with the 'name' which you have given
#[user_id:0] - This will notify the user BUT it will happen when you MANUALLY typing it in wall or comment section NOT through graph api, say for eg., if you want to notify this user #[user_id:0] so you are appending this text in message parameter of https://graph.facebook.com/feed api it won't work, I hope you understand :)
