Recently Twitter has changed API to v1.1. With this API, it is now required to first login on Twitter and only then we can fetch timeline. Is that true?
Can we fetch user timeline without user login?
Thanks
I tried FHSTwitterEngine but I found STTwitter better:
https://github.com/nst/STTwitter
look at FHSTwitterEngine you can use newly FHSTwitterEngine and if you request this method without autenticating, the users status is removed... you have to send consumer key and token along with screen_name..
In FHSTwitterEngine
//get username pass to method. In Dictionary you can get all info
NSString *username = [[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]loggedInUsername];
NSDictionary *data=[[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]getUserProfile:username];
// method to get all user info
-(id)getUserProfile:(NSString *)username
{
if (username.length == 0) {
return getBadRequestError();
}
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL URLWithString:url_users_show];
OAMutableURLRequest *request = [OAMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:baseURL consumer:self.consumer token:self.accessToken];
OARequestParameter *usernameP = [OARequestParameter requestParameterWithName:#"screen_name" value:username];
NSArray *params = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:usernameP, nil];
id userShowReturn = [self sendGETRequest:request withParameters:params];
return userShowReturn;
}
You can perfectly fetch a user timeline even if the user is not logged in.
You have to use the new "App Only" mode in which only the application is authentified.

I have my [PFFacebookUtils logInWithPermissions] like this:
NSArray *permissionsArray = #[#"user_about_me"];
[PFFacebookUtils logInWithPermissions:permissionsArray block:^(PFUser *user, NSError *error) {
if (!user) {
NSLog(#"Uh oh. The user cancelled the Facebook login.");
} else if (user.isNew) {
} else {
NSLog(#"User logged in through Facebook!");
} }];
The problem is that the method uploads an username similar to "St42o7PejDRh6scvMJylgOxGQ". What i want is to have the real username from Facebook uploaded, as well as the Facebook password and other relevant fields.
EDIT : With username i am specifically meaning First name, last name, and email if possible !
The Graph API uses OAuth as auth mechanism, so there's no way to get the username and password.
See
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/overview/v2.3
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens
Not sure if this is still an issue for you, but because Facebook removed this feature from their API you can't access it like you can for, let's say a PFUser
example:
NSString *userName = [[PFUser user] username];
What you CAN do however is open up a Facebook Graph API request in order to retrieve this information like such:
1) First set the parameters of what you want to get from Facebook: (here i just did the FB id, the username, and the email)
NSMutableDictionary* parameters = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[parameters setValue:#"id,name,email" forKey:#"fields"];
2) Just call the Facebook Graph API and request the information that you need like such:
FBSDKGraphRequest *request = [[FBSDKGraphRequest alloc] initWithGraphPath:#"me" parameters:nil];
[request startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
NSLog(#"Facebook Graph API user: %#", result);
}
}];
3) This is what you should get: (I have replaced personal information with generic pointers for security reasons)
2015-11-15 18:52:18.204 YOURAPPNAME[60800:18917239] Facebook Graph API user: {
id = <the user id>;
name = "Full User Facebook Name";
email = "user#email.com";
}
Hopefully this will help you get what you are looking for! If its too late, at maybe this will help someone else in the future
I want to implement location check-in feature in ios. My application is using google+ ios sdk. The problem which I am facing is that after I have implemented google+ check-in feature then that post is not being displayed on my google+ account.
The technique which I have tried and implemented is written below.
-(IBAction)checkIn
{
GTMOAuth2Authentication *auth = [GPPSignIn sharedInstance].authentication;
GTLServicePlus* plusService = [[GTLServicePlus alloc] init] ;
plusService.retryEnabled = YES;
[plusService setAuthorizer:auth];
GTLPlusMoment *moment = [[GTLPlusMoment alloc] init];
moment.type = #"http://schemas.google.com/CheckInActivity";
GTLPlusItemScope *target = [[GTLPlusItemScope alloc] init] ;
target.url =#"https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/snippet/examples/place";
moment.target = target;
GTLQueryPlus *query =
[GTLQueryPlus queryForMomentsInsertWithObject:moment
userId:#"me"
collection:kGTLPlusCollectionVault];
[plusService executeQuery:query
completionHandler:^(GTLServiceTicket *ticket,
id object,
NSError *error) {
if (error) {
GTMLoggerError(#"Error: %#", error);
NSString *failure =
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Status: Error: %#", error];
NSLog(#"%#",failure);
} else {
NSString *result = #"CheckedIn Saved in Google+";
NSLog(#"%#",result);
}
}];
}
Can any one please help me out. Is this the right way of implementing location check-in feature of google+ or is there any other method for it?
The method you're using is writing an "app activity" to Google+, which stores a "moment" in the user's app activity vault. As noted on https://developers.google.com/+/mobile/ios/app-activities these moments are not directly visible on the user's stream, although users may choose to share them to the stream if they wish.
To see the moments that have been shared, you will need to use the desktop app. Your profile has a list of apps that are using the Google+ Sign-In and you can view, share, and delete the activities for each of these apps. The mobile Google+ clients don't let you view the activities yet.
Let me make this clear. I am NOT using the Facebook SDK. I'm using iOS SDK's Social.framework, and ACAccountStore to access Facebook accounts, and post with it/them.
I use the same code to post on Twitter. It works 100%. But for some reason regardless of what I do for Facebook integration, I get a "400" error when I try to post.
My method is:
ACAccountStore *account = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
ACAccountType *facebookAccountType = [account accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierFacebook];
// Specify App ID and permissions
NSDictionary *options = #{ ACFacebookAppIdKey: #"MY_APP_ID",ACFacebookPermissionsKey: #[#"publish_stream", #"publish_actions"],ACFacebookAudienceKey: ACFacebookAudienceFriends };
[account requestAccessToAccountsWithType:facebookAccountType options:options
completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error)
{
if (granted == YES)
{
NSDictionary *parameters = #{#"message": string999};
NSURL *feedURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed"];
SLRequest *feedRequest = [SLRequest
requestForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook
requestMethod:SLRequestMethodPOST
URL:feedURL
parameters:parameters];
acct.accountType = facebookAccountType;
// Post the request
[feedRequest setAccount:acct];
// Block handler to manage the response
[feedRequest performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData, NSHTTPURLResponse *urlResponse, NSError *error)
{
if (granted && error == nil) {
} else {
NSLog(#"Facebook response, HTTP response: %i %#", [urlResponse statusCode], [error description]);
[self closeShareMenu];
}
}];
}
}
I don't know where I'm going wrong! It's so annoying! I've set up my app correctly in Facebook Developers and all! Please help -_-'
Following up to the chat session held between #fguchelaar and yours truly yesterday; I was able to ascertain the following solution for this issue.
Add the following in your iOS completion handler:
NSString *temp = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(temp);
//'data' is your 'responseData' (or another object name) that you declare in your completion handler.
This will allow you to see the exact cause of the issue printed to the Debug Console. Now depending on the issue presented, you'll need to grab a Facebook account from the Array of Accounts generated when you call this handler in the iPhone SDK. Not at any prior stage whatsoever, as the Access Token will likely expire and give you this '400' error.
In my case; the error printed was: error:{'400' A valid access token is required… which vastly annoyed me as my prior method to access and check the current Twitter account was working perfectly. And my theory was that it should work just as well for Facebook. Why should the access token be instantaneously revoked if I'm grabbing the account a split second before?
The way I solved my issue (depending on the reason for your error the answer can vary) was to use a for loop to check the newly created array of accounts, with the sole purpose of finding the account there with the same identifier string as the one I saved into NSData/NSKeyedArchiver.
for(ACAccount *a in arrayOfAccounts) {
if([a.identifier isEqualToString:storedAccount.identifier]) {
//set the account to be used
accountToBeUsed = a;
//don't forget to break the For loop once you have your result.
break;
} else {
//This else{} block is not strictly necessary, but here you could set an account if no account was found with a matching identifier.
}
}
For it to work, it's recommended to declare an ACAccount object in your View Controller's .h file, add a #property and #synthesize it, so it can be assigned within the for loop and used after the break; statement.
This effectively solved my whole issue with the '400' error. It was inexplicably frustrating for about six hours of my day, so I hope that my explanation helps anybody who happens to stumble across this issue, and my question here on Stack Overflow :)

I am integrating twitter api on iphone device with specific application. I want to get list of followers using the same app.
Is it possible to get list of followers who are using the same app?
Thanks,
Jim.
Use this api call in your twitter api to get your followers in twitter
- (NSString *)getFollowersIncludingCurrentStatus:(BOOL)flag
{
NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"statuses/followers.%#", API_FORMAT];
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:0];
if (!flag) {
[params setObject:#"true" forKey:#"lite"]; // slightly bizarre, but correct.
}
return [self _sendRequestWithMethod:nil path:path queryParameters:params body:nil
requestType:MGTwitterFollowerUpdatesRequest
responseType:MGTwitterUsers];
}
I am developing an application which posts videos to Facebook.
I have registered this app on Facebook, received APIkey, APIsecret, the app successfully passes authentication and receives the access token. Here is my code for authentication:
m_Facebook = [[Facebook alloc] init];
[m_Facebook logout:self];
m_FacebookUploader = [[FBVideoUpload alloc]init];
NSArray *permissions = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"publish_stream", #"offline_access",#"read_stream",nil];
m_Facebook.forceOldStyleAuth = YES;
[m_Facebook authorize:kApiKey permissions:permissions delegate:self];
However when trying to upload a video, the class FBVideoUpload tries to separate the access token into several parts:
- (NSString*) sessionID
{
NSArray *components = [accessToken componentsSeparatedByString:#"|"];
NSLog(#"components: %#", components);
return [components count] < 2 ? nil : [components objectAtIndex:1];
}
According to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/ the access token should contain several componenets, separated by "|", but the one I receive at authentication does not contain several components separated by a "|". The access_token I receive looks as follows:
AAA*GXJapke*BAGRlZC7aBLhiZB*MUEV*AAF6*ZBhZBw*0ER1M*vkXlRUZCwO*czfgs*wHbnA*BcTU*VrPZC*Yw3p*JmCIMZ*xSnCP*GqPRWZALgZDZ*
(I replaced some symbols with "*")
Here is my code for uploading the video:
[m_FacebookUploader setApiKey:kApiKey];
[m_FacebookUploader setAccessToken:m_Facebook.accessToken];
[m_FacebookUploader setAppSecret:kApiSecret];
[m_FacebookUploader startUploadWithURL:url params:params delegate:self];
I receive an error here:
if ([self sessionID] == nil) {
NSLog(#"Unable to retrieve session key from the access token.");
return;
}
Which not surprising since sessionID really returns nil.
Whatever library you're using to do that video upload is using some outdated logic to handle uploads. That whole method where it breaks apart the session key doesn't need to exist. Just use the access token you get back from FB with your video upload request. Also, be sure you're using our latest SDK https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk
