I'm not very familiar with APIs, ssl certs, etc. but I would like to access the underlying html code for facebook pages. I'm having trouble using getURL() with Facebook, and "ssl.verifypeer = F" doesn't work. Here's an example:
library(RCurl)
txt<-getURL("https://www.facebook.com/nytimes/", ssl.verifypeer = FALSE)
This only returns and empty string:
txt = ""
Does this mean I need to use the Graph API? Can you access underlying HTML code using the Graph API? Using Firebug extension for Firefox, I can see the html code, but I can't access it through R. I'm not interested in specific data like likes, or posts, just the html code. Any suggestions on how I can access the html code for a facebook page? Thanks in advance.
Use:
txt <- getURLContent("https://www.facebook.com/nytimes/", ssl.verifypeer = FALSE, followlocation = TRUE)
getURL may also work with followlocation = TRUE. It worked on my linux box but not on a windows machine.

Hi i know this is probably not the place to ask this but i m stumped at the moment as i cant seem to find any reference or docs relating to working with Roblox. I mean sure they have an auth route etc but nothing detailed. I want to login user using username and give them roblox based on different actions they take on the site like completing surveys etc. Can anyone please give me links to some resources that would come in handy for the particular purpose. Thank you.
Roblox does not support any OAuth systems, but you still can use HttpService:GetAsync() function to get strings/data from web site(if the page in website display that text), the way to keep data that you recieved from url(web page) safe is to store script with HttpService:GetAsync() function in server side(example: RobloxScriptService). You need to allow http requests in your GameSettings -> Security in roblox studio. Script example:
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local stringg = HttpService:GetAsync("https://pastebin.com/raw/k7S6Ln9R")
print(string)
--Should outpud data written ot the web page, you can use any web page to store data even your own
The only two things that left is to make your web server rewrite the page, or just use some databases at your web site by placing their url into loadstring() function.
Now you just need to parse the string given by url to use it's data.
The pastebin url that i wrote into loadstring() just an example, you can write whatever you wan, but again you need to parse the data that you got from url, or just convert the string into type of text like on the page, and then just check is they written at url/webpage. Example:
local writtenpass = game.Players["anyplayer"].PlayerGui.TestGui.Frame.PasswordTextBox.text
local writtenlogin = game.Players["anyplayer"].PlayerGui.TestGui.Frame.LoginTextBox.text
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local response = HttpService:GetAsync("https://pastebin.com/raw/k7S6Ln9R")
local istrue = string.find(response, "{ login = ".. writtenlogin .." pass = ".. writtenpass .." }")
print(istrue)
if istrue == 1 then
print("exist!")
--whatewer actions if login and pass exist
end

Well that a lot of damage!

I'm working in a React-Native app, and I'm also allowing users to login using FBSDK.
There seems to be an issue at the moment when trying to get the profile picture URL.
There are also several reports of this, like this one but still, after a year doesn't seem to be solved.
Attempted many ways but none worked, it always tries to download the file, seems it's missing the mime-type according to what the browser says.
The URL it gives is the following:
https://platform-lookaside.fbsbx.com/platform/profilepic/?asid={{myfbid}}&height=50&width=50&ext=1583348357&hash=AeTnFpMVwBXgFy_J
Also tried using the graph url directly: http://graph.facebook.com/{myid}/picture
And if I add the &redirect=false, it returns a data object with the platform-lookaside URL.
Everything I try, it tries to download.
This is how I'm currently trying to get the image using Graph API.
new GraphRequestManager().addRequest(new GraphRequest(
'/me',
{
accessToken: fbToken,
parameters: {
fields: {
string: 'picture.type(large)'
}
}
},
graphRequestCallback
)).start();
It works, but the URL is the same.
Any idea on how can I solve this? I might be missing something or the bug is still happening?
If you just change the graph url (http://graph.facebook.com/{myid}/picture) from http to https, it should work for you. Not sure if that's a new fix in React Native or not, but that solved it for me.
I'm creating a web add-in for Word targeting Word Online. When a document is opened using Word Online, the URL will contain a file name. I am trying to retrieve that file name.
To retrieve this URL I tried using window.location href, but it is fetching my hosted addin web application URL. Is it possible to get the Word Online URL?
Sample Code :
function getParameterByName(name, url) {
if (!url) url = window.location.search;
name = name.replace(/[\[\]]/g, '\\$&');
var regex = new RegExp('[?&]' + name + '(=([^&#]*)|&|#|$)'),
results = regex.exec(url);
if (!results) return null;
if (!results[2]) return '';
return decodeURIComponent(results[2].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
}
What you should use instead?
You should use Office.js API that's defined here
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/office/office.document
Office.context.document.url this should return you something that you can use.
Why didn't your solution work?
Unfortunately this is not possible the way you're trying to implement it due to security requirements around iFrames. Word Online is using an iFrame to host your add-in and accessing the parent window from an iFrame is generally very restricted unless you're specifically allowed.
You can however get the base host url of the parent window by looking into the referrer header, but that's pretty much it. I understand that this is not sufficient for you, which is why I'm recommending to use the Word API.
You can see a bit more documentation below about iFrames:
iFrame spec documentation: https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/the-iframe-element.html

I have a JavaEE Application. I am trying to implement OAuth.
But I am facing some strange issues:
As per the documentation to manually building the sign in web flow I have to provide a link like this https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=1231298371123&display=popup&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Fc%2Fportal%2Fauth%2Ffacebook_login%3F&scope=email,public_profile,user_birthday&response_type=code%20token which will open the dialog. But the dialog is not opening.
And when the SSO is successful FB is redirecting to the url given above but the problem is FB is appending the query strings like state, code, etc with #. Something like: http://localhost:8080/c/portal/auth/facebook_login?#state=ASDASDASDASD&access_token=EAANXZAlBTi........ Because for this I cannot get the parameters in Java.
Do any one came across this kind of issue.
Please help.
Not sure if I understood the question right but if you want to read the string after # you can use the following code
URI uri = new URI("http://test.com/#something=some");
String fragment = uri.getFragment();
fragment will be everything after #
I have a jquery mobile site that I want to share via facebook's dialog/feed system.
jQuery mobile uses #'s for their internal navigation system, so if I want to share a jqm url for page_3 of my jqm site, I would use something like: http://www.my_jqm_site.com/#page_3.
But that # is causing grief for facebook's dialog/feed:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed
?app_id = ...
&link = http://apps.facebook.com/celjska_puzzle/#page_3
&redirect_uri = http://apps.facebook.com/celjska_puzzle/#page_3
&picture = ...
&name = .
&caption = ...
&description = ...
So is their anyway to do it?
I have tried it both with and without encoding.
Currently I suppose I will use a ? and then get the page to make some alterations via javascript during loading, but I really hate the thought of doing it this way.
I'm working on a problem like this right now. The URL to go in redirect_uri and link:
.../xfile.jsp?item=/contests/bhg_homeimprovement/bhg_splashsweeps_win2500_homeimprovement&temp=yes&hid=#HashID#&esrc=nwbhgsweeps072514a
The FB dialog gets an error as is. Encoding the full URL fixes that and does output hashes around "HashID", but the equal sign before it is removed. Adding a 2nd equal sign there will output 2 equal signs, but having just one will output none.
This isn't a complete solution but it does look like hash marks are possible.
