I am adopting firebase in my unity game. Image is uploaded then an URL is got by GetDownloadUrlAsync().
The format of URL is something like this:
https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/""ProjectName"".appspot.com/o/""imageName""?alt=media&token=""token Generated by Firebase""
Does anyone know if this is the standard format of this URL?
I am now going to extract the token number out for further processing. My idea is to split the above string by "=".
While I don't think the URL format has changed since the initial release of Firebase Storage in May 2016, it is strictly speaking not a public API. To prevent problems in the future, you should treat the URL as an opaque string.
Out of curiosity: what are you trying to accomplish with the parsing?
Instead of adopting the URL inside unity, i want unity passes the info to another website by html GET. The website then knows the image location and show it. As a result, i can add other functions on the web page such as "share photo" button in social media.
Don't know if there is better way to achieve it :)

I use REST API to share articles/posts on LinkedIn Timeline and Company pages. To do so, I authorize my LI profile with the APP for accessing the profile info. As a result, could view the profile/image of a user in the APP. Everything worked fine until, for some time now, aren't able to view the user profile image from the APP. Now, it looks like:
Previous image URL starts with(accessible): https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mprx/0_
Current image URL starts with(could not access): https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/
On accessing the image in the browser,
Help me understand what has changed with LI. Thanks.
Are you injecting the URL in same way that's escaping it? The URL recently changed and has some characters that templating engines such as Handlebars will mistakenly escape.
If you inject the URL without escaping it, it should work just fine.
Check out this documentation. https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/ref/v2/media-migration,
The problem which I was facing was the image loaded sometimes, but after some days it would give above error.
The new id will be dynamic and can change from time to time. We recommend retrieving at least once every 60 days to update your media-typed URN.
In order to fix this, I save the image, the moment it is received on to personal storage(AWS S3).
Using Linkedin via Buffer, I can share content with only an attached image. ie no accompanying comment, url, or any text. It is also possible via the web interface.
However, when using their share API, you are forced to include a URL and it displays with the content. Buffer must be using the API in some way, so how do you get around this?
I have been looking for the same solution.
How to get large LinkedIn Image Share Format
basically you just pass the image url in submitted-url field and don't pass submitted-image-url paramter in the json.
I was unable to find a this solution in google and in stackoverflow. I hope this help someone in the future.
i'm trying to implement a little app which basically only hs a label, textbox and a button and when the user enters a word, i want to connect to some online api to retrieve the word's definition and display it in the label. is this possible? all i keep finding is api's related to other stuff on google/other se's. but i have seen this in practice before so i know they are out there, i just don't know where.
I suggest you try WordNet. It has got an API that you can use over the web.
Check it out here: http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/related-projects/#web
If you search more probably you will find, but let me give you a hint:
You can make a http web request to any website who handles word definitions. You can even search for "define: " + word in google and get the response.
I normally use twitter both as a communication chat and as a short blog service. On my wordpress blog, I import the twitter messages timeline from one twitter account (specific for the blog-visible messages). For communication and chatting, I use another twitter account.
Having two account is a solution, but my geeky nature would prefer to have only one account, with the following magic: every message containing a special tag (e.g. "#blog") will appear on my wordpress blog page. Everything else will not appear on the blog.
Is it achievable with the standard twitter API? does something like this already exist for wordpress? The technical solution would be equivalent to a search for a tag only on a specific user's messages, something that, as far as I see, is currently not possible.
Thanks.
You'll want to use the twitter search API. Use this url to pull the data that you want to display:
http://search.twitter.com/search.xml?q=%23blog&from=mikeluby
You can change the .xml to .json if you want the query to return in json. Remove the ".xml" to get the normal search page to test out the query. Obviously you'll want to change "mikeluby" (my twitter username) to your username.
Update: There may be an issue with the xml return currently on twitter. I would check to see if it works for you. If it doesn't I would suggest switching to the json return or waiting until the problem is fixed.
I have an ASP.Net application which as desired feature, users would like to be able to take a screenshot. While I know this can be simulated, it would be really great to have a way to take a URL (or the current rendered page), and turn it into an image which can be stored on the server.
Is this crazy? Is there a way to do it? If so, any references?
I can tell you right now that there is no way to do it from inside the browser, nor should there be. Imagine that your page embeds GMail in an iframe. You could then steal a screenshot of the person's GMail inbox!
This could be made safe by having the browser "black out" all iframes and embeds that would violate cross-domain restrictions.
You could certainly write an extension to do this, but be aware of the security considerations outlined above.
Update: You can use a canvas utility function to get a screenshot of a page on the same origin as your code. There's even a lib to allow you to do this: http://experiments.hertzen.com/jsfeedback/
You can find other possible answers here: Using HTML5/Canvas/JavaScript to take screenshots
Browsershots has an XML-RPC interface and available source code (in Python).
I used the free assembly UrlScreenshot.dll which you can download here.
Works nicely!
There is also WebSiteScreenShot but it's not free.
You could try a browser plugin like IE7 Pro for Internet Explorer which allows you to save a screenshot of the current site to a file on disk. I'm sure there is a comparable plugin for FireFox out there as well.
If you want to do something like you described. You need to call an external process that prints the IE output as described here.
Why don't you take another approach?
If you have the need that users can view the same content over again, then it sounds like that is a business requirement for your application, and so you should be building it into your application.
Structure the URL so that when the same user (assuming you have sessions and the application shows different things to different users) visits the same URL, they always see same thing. They can then bookmark the URL locally, or you can even have an application feature that saves it in a user profile.
Part of this would mean making "clean urls", eg, site.com/view/whatever-information-needed-here.
If you are doing time-based data, where it changes as it gets older, there are probably a couple possible approaches.
If your data is not changing on a regular basis, then you could make the "current" page always, eg, site.com/view/2008-10-20 (add hour/minute/second as appropriate).
If it is refreshing, and/or updating more regularly, have the "current" page as site.com/view .. but allow specifying the exact time afterwards. In this case, you'd have to have a "link to this page" type function, which would link to the permanent URL with the full date/time. Look to google maps for inspiration here-- if you scroll across a map, you can always click "link to here" and it will provide a link that includes the GPS coordinates, objects on the map, etc. In that case it's not a very friendly url but it does work quite well. :)
