The Intuit API Browser does something I would like to do in my application. It authenticates you and then provides a dropdown box that allows you tin interact with one or more tenants that your account may have access to.
How can I duplicate this behavior in my app?
I would expect that I could call:
https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/
To get back a list of all companies I have access to.
Searching the doco doesn't show anything like this.
Thoughts?
It is not possible to get a list of companies for a particular user. The OAuth flow will only grant tokens for 1 company (realm).

I know that you want to suggest me private api or any scraper. I used them but they don`t return accounts geolocation. In my application I want to get instagram accounts geolocation, likes, comments, followers and follows in order to get engagement of account.
If you say it is not possible look TrendHero website it returns all information about users, followers rank, country information and other handy information which you can find in your insights (in instagram account) without users permissions.
My first impression, without caring to dive deep into the company you linked, is they are simply using scrapers. That's typically how those big contact databases are done.
The Instagram APIs simply don't provide the access they used to. That's how it is. Simply asserting there must be a way doesn't mean there actually is.
#WizKid Instagram can't actually prevent scraping. They just make a little fuss about it.
I have a question about Graph Api from Facebook. We want to create tool to management accounts in facebook and groups releated with them.
Basic functionality of tool is possibility to add acounts to the system, and then add you can add multiple facebook accounts to each of them. Then, system get all posts from groups releated with facebook accounts.
I did research, and I know quite what is possible and what no, but many endpoints of API requires app review. My question is about this review - wheater app like that, when one user can add multiple facebook accouns and use data (like posts, comments) from them is allowed by facebook and will pass the review?
That depends on what exactly you mean by “accounts” …
Facebook pages? Sure, you can let your app user add as many of those as they like, for the purpose of managing them, reading feed data, etc.
User profiles? That would not really make sense, because every person is only allowed to have one personal profile on the platform to begin with. And adding other people’s profiles (by having them authorize your app, using their access tokens on behalf of someone else) is likely not going to fly in review either.
when one user can add multiple facebook accouns and use data (like posts, comments) from them is allowed by facebook
“Using data” is rather vague as well; what you can and can’t do with user data is outlined in the Platform Policy: https://developers.facebook.com/policy
I have the task to integrate some commercial sharing stuff into a website.
The idea is that the user a) logs in/registers in the website, b) the user connects his user account with his facebook account - by adding and accepting the website application.
Here comes the interesting part - is there a way of linking the facebook account with my website's account so that I can send them updates and promotions directly to their walls programatically?
In the application dialog, it's clearly noted that the user allows the application to write to the user wall so they accept and agree this. Then, for example, if I want to send them a promotion or update directly on their wall using the fb application api, how can I achieve this? All the tutorials I've read consider the user using the Facebook Login
The concrete idea is something like weekly promotion feed that my clients want to allow customers to allow being posted directly on their walls. As I don't have any experience with facebook development, I'd appreciate knowing how, if at all possible, this can be achieved?
Most of what you're suggesting is against policy, and isnt' technically possible either as users need to come back to the app once every 60 days for you to have a valid access_token for them.
The Authentication docs explain how to get access to a user's information with their permission, and the Permission documentation explains which permissions grant access to which functions or fields.
I want to add the 'Log in with Facebook' option to my website, however I'm unsure how to integrate the information gained when someone logs into my website with Facebook with my current Google Analytics.
Is it possible to link up a visit in Google Analytics with a user who has logged into the site with Facebook to enable me to see things like age, gender etc?
Any help you can give me on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
you may have to do this via a redirection or possibly a frame.
Google Analytics does nolt track individual users, it provides anonymized data. So at the top level, no you cannot do this. However, there are a few more things avaiable to you. One: Facebook provides facebook insights, their own tracking suite, that will give you demographic information on the users of a facebook app or fan page. You site will effectively become a facebook app when you use their user authenication, so you will be able to get insights tracking on you site. At the present moment, facebook insights and google analyitcs do not itegrate or share data. Facebook insight also provides anonymized data, so you will not be able to identify an individual through the tracking.
The final option is, now that you are tracking users through login, you can implement your own tracking info on your site to see what individual users are doing, and attempt to track their preferences.
Its also entirely legal (in the United States at least) to buy access to marketing data and use use your registered user name pool to get additional information.
If you wanted, you could set up a "funnel" in Google.
When a user logs in through Facebook, you could send them to a specific page and then track their progress from there...
http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55515
So using this you could get the percentage of users who log in through Facebook... etc.
But to collect information other than that, you would have to get the correct permissions documented here eg. user_birthday (to get the user's Birthday) and query the Graph API from there, thus implementing your own tracking of users.
You can query the Graph API using the various SDKs that Facebook provide explained here.
First of all you should check out this Google document. It explains, how you set a custom unique user id via google analytics.
Further you've to send an event to google analytics (e.g. 'fb_login') via the callback function of your facebook login function.
I want to set up my site to allow people to sign in using a facebook account. But in the near future I would also want to allow a provision to allow people to sign up using twitter, linkedin, even their open id accounts if they have one. However I need to set up my system so that a user may be able to login using whatever way he wishes and yet be able to maintain all his logins with his one account.
I have a users table which has the basic details:
USERS:
ID|NAME|EMAIL|PASSWORD
And think I should set up a logins table in this case like:
USERS_LOGINS
USER_ID|LOGIN_TYPE|LOGIN_ID
like in the second table if he signs up using facebook the Login type would read Facebook and id would be his fb id and so forth.
Is there any kind of service that already does this for you or any open source code I can use? My application is being built on the zend framework
Thanks
You might want to check out Janrain Engage. It will probably be the fastest and easiest way to support multiple login types.
