I would like to create a paypal developer account for myself, however it seems that the developer account registration only accepts US addresses.
What should I do?
Use a fake US address. You don't need to attach any bank accounts or credit cards to a developer account, so this is a harmless way of getting around Paypal's stupid and arbitrary new developer rules.
Indeed, I couldn't find a way around this either, being a UK developer, so had to put a US address in.... I used http://www.fakenamegenerator.com to get a 'valid' telephone number and zip code to get the form to work.
PayPal really seem to miss the point if you are outside the US, despite the same page promoting that you can use the service in over 190 markets and 25 currencies...

Really sorry for posting this question here (since due to some reason I am unable to post this on LinkedIn forums). I need to work on a project wherein I can increase the number of prospective customers for a company. We want to leverage LinkedIn's database for the same. I went through articles and the program that I got interested in was "LinkedIn Marketing Developer Program" and we will be looking forward to using it to create ads for specific audiences. But I am not able to see if I will have access to people search since this post says that I will have access to it but I cannot find confirmation on LinkedIn access documentation here. I have two queries: Is it possible to access people search API wherein we can get individuals in a particular demographic region under the "LinkedIn Marketing Developer Program"? If not this program, in general, can we get paid access to the people search API?
PS: Please do not mark this question as irrelevant as asking question on LinkedIn forum is disabled (cannot click submit button on the given link even after adding all the details to the form).
People Search is not offered by any of LinkedIn's Partner Programs.
I am consulting with a group that has several users on their GA account. How can I see the scheduled email each person set up to make sure they're correct and do I can assist them when they have problems?
If it can't be done, can someone please point me to an official Google statement saying it can't be done?...at least that way I can tell my boss :)
Thanks!
That cant be done. As to pointing you to Googles Statement of why it cant be done the only thing I can give you is the current documentation for the API.
IMO this feature would be located in the Management API probably under User permissions but i'm not really sure that's the best place for it either.
User Permissions - Developer Guide
I feel this is a very good idea and added it to my long list of feature requests feel free to star it. Manage Scheduled Emails Now I'm not sure they will add it I think they may decided that there is to grate a spam risk with this. But we will have to wait and see.
Tell your boss that its not currently available in the Google Analytics API but a feature request was made.
Click on the gear icon in the bottom left, then on the bottom right under 'Personal Tools & Assets', you should see Scheduled Emails. They're only visible with the view they're attached to, so if you have multiple views, you'll need to look through each one.
I am developing a website for our GTA Online Crew, basically a gaming community, my issue lies in verifying that they are the user they say they are when they register (For example if there username on social club is GTOFAN01, we want to ensure that person uses the same username on our site when they register).
As we want all website users to have the same names from social club (owned by Rockstar and I have no way to change anything on there end...) to our website to avoid confusion / posers / trolls etc.
I've had a few ideas but they all create a lot of manual work or I am not sure how to implement, but I have narrowed it down...
Let anyone register and then manually send them a confirmation code through social club to the account name they have said they are.
somehow find out who they are currently logged in as on social club, if this matches the name they supplied then let them in.
find someway to send a message to there social club message box
2 is by far the best, but I can figure out a way to achieve it... I cannot read cookies or session variables from another domain.
Any ideas?
There are several different ways of achieving "federated identity". I would recommend taking a look at OAuth and OpenId. Asp.net Identity has OAuth integration.
See also:
OpenID vs. OAuth
What's the difference between OpenID and OAuth?
The way I ended up going was generating a random qoute for the user to post on the social club (checking it didn't exist first), as the social club feed is public I can then check to see if the qoute was posted and by whom, if this matches who they told us they were then there registration is accepted.
Obviously this is not the greatest solution, but it works and as I've stated I have no control over the social club nor do they offer any way to authenticate a user.
The other befit to this method is it encourages use of the feed which we also wanted to do.
I want to use paypal sandbox accounts for some testing, and I watched a great youtube vid on how. But when I try to create a developer account it says at the top that only US businesses can use REST APIs. I don't know what this means, but the form is set up for US costomers with ZIP and 3-digit code for telephone number.
Long and short, can I use this service in the UK? If so how? Do I just enter my details in the American form?
Any help appreciated,
Robin.
Have anyone heard Facebook say anything about adding the possibility to specify the privacy when publishing an action? I wonder if it's something they plan for the near future or if it will take longer time for them to implement.
Background
The "App activity privacy" let's the user set who should be able to see actions published by the app. I would like my app to set the privacy for each and every action the app publishes, just as an app can do for wall posts by specifying the "privacy" field.
Edit 2012-05-24
I attended Facebook Developer Garage in Stockholm yesterday and had the opportunity to ask what Facebook's plan is. The answer was that Facebook did think a lot about adding flexible privacy settings, but decided that they want it as simple as possible for the user. They want to let the user decide the privacy settings for everything the app publishes once and the users can currently do this when they add the app. You never know when Facebook change their minds but currently they don't have a plan for decent privacy settings.
Facebook have now added the "privacy" parameter when publishing actions.
See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/
Case closed.
Edit: As Angel García Olloqui pointed out, the privacy field can only have the values ALL_FRIENDS or SELF. Pretty useless for now.
Edit: I added a more complete answer to the question.
Access token generates corresponding to your all permissions which appear on the first startup of the application. Then by using that access token app enables to get some information from user
