I am trying to develop a “connect with facebook” with ASP.NET 3.5 and have followed lots of articles but I am not able to get it working. Most of the developers who spoke about this matter end up referring to the below article:
devtacular.com/articles/bkonrad/how-to-retrieve-user-data-from-facebook-connect-in-aspnet/
I followed that article, but the only thing I was able to get working was checking the authentication status of the current user:
devtacular.com/articles/bkonrad/how-to-integrate-with-facebook-connect/
However, trying to read users’ data gives me the following error all the time (although the same key was used in the previous successful test! - checking the authentication):
Invalid API key specified
The app you are trying to access does not exist or has been disabled.
The link to the 2 pages I developed are below, you may try them to see what I have done:
http://www.myifaworld.com/desktopModules/facebook/connect.aspx (the connect method - works fine)
http://www.myifaworld.com/desktopModules/facebook/bkonrad_1.aspx (reading users data - error)
I basically want users to click on the “connect with facebook” on my page to login using facebook and my code reads users’ info and save the users’ basic information to my database.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Checked your both pages
Your user data page gives below error.
FB.Event is undifined.
and also you dont have the refeence to the fb script above your code.
try adding these lines in your code above FB.Init
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>

I'm trying to setup my Google Identity Toolkit so users can reset their passwords. I'm following the documentation here: https://developers.google.com/identity/toolkit/web/required-endpoints#send_email_url
I'm using the PHP Gitkit Client outlined here: https://github.com/google/identity-toolkit-php-client/blob/master/src/GitkitClient.php
Specifically the function getOobResults() on line 307 seems to be unhappy for some reason. Here's where I'm at:
User sets up account and logs in successfully
User then logs out and starts to log back in, enters email in and clicks "Forgot password"
reCaptcha is shown, click check box and then hit continue
At this point my 'Send Email URL' endpoint (gitkitEmail.php) is successfully called and the following POST is set to it (dropping the full '&response' param since it goes on for a while):
action=resetPassword&email=xodfebefa%40nada.ltd&challenge&response=03ACgFB9tGlNt2KAGhrVY....
I then take that string and parse it using parse_str(); since getOobResults() is looking for an array. However, response I get back is always:
{
"response_body": {
"error": "CAPTCHA_CHECK_FAILED"
}
}
I searched around but can't find any details on this error. Any help would be appreciated. I don't have a reCaptcha setup anywhere on my site, unsure if this is expecting me to do that and that's why it's failing? Also, I did bump all my code to a production environment and got the same error there as I did on my localhost.
I want to get some data from Facebook, so I wanted to create application to get token for 60 days like I did few months ago. Then everything worked well, I just followed steps from the tutorial like this:
http://thinktostart.com/analyzing-facebook-with-r/
So It was enough to create "empty" application, write in R with proper id and secret
fb_oauth <- fbOAuth(app_id="123456789", app_secret="1A2B3C4D",extended_permissions = TRUE)
fill website page as http://localhost:1410/ and autenthication was complete and I was able to make get some data from facebook. It seems that it is not so easy anymore.
When I try to follow exactly the same steps it seems that now I have to fill in my application (with some description, photos...) and "send" it to submission.
Do you have similar problem or I just miss something? I just want to use information from facebook for my own use, not for business or something. Is there any (other) way to get a token for R which allows me to get some information from Facebook without filling application. I don't think that filling it with some fake data will pass facebook verification.
I just want to use information from facebook for my own use
Then you don’t need to submit it for review.
See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/faq#roles – it explains that you can ask any user that has a “role” in the app (meaning admin, developer or tester) for any permission without prior review.
For one, this is of course implemented this way, so that people can actually test the functionality they are developing properly. And it is also an “official loophole” for apps such as yours, that are for “private use” only, and not meant to be used by the general public in the first place.
(And this has nothing whatsoever with the Rfacebook package – it is the same for all apps, no matter what framework/SDK they might be using.)
UPDATE
As #CBroe said earlier, you do not need an approved app, you just need to add the users of the app as admin in the app's role menu in Facebook Developers.
Follow these steps and you will get your permanent FB token:
Create new application at https://developers.facebook.com/apps/ with basic setup
Fill in the app name in lower case and without the words Facebook or FB for display name and namespace, category set to Business
In "Settings/Basic" I added a new "Website" platform with the URL of http://localhost:1410/ and localhost as the "App Domain"
In the "Settings/Advanced" tab I added http://localhost:1410/ as the Valid OAuth redirect URIs
Then, run this code:
library(httr)
app <- oauth_app('facebook', appid, appsecret)
Sys.setenv("HTTR_SERVER_PORT" = "1410/")
tkn <- oauth2.0_token(
oauth_endpoints('facebook'), app, scope = c('ads_management', 'read_insights'),
type = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', cache = FALSE)
save(tkn, file = "~/Documents/RFiles/fb_token") # save the token for future use
Make sure you put 'read_insights' in scope, otherwise you are not telling Facebook what kind of permissions you want the app to take.
Finally you can use the token:
library(Rfacebook)
load("~/Documents/RFiles/fb_token")
I am trying to get the twitter module (7.x-5.4) running on my local drupal 7.19 website. Already installed Oauth and registered a twitter app. I am using the keys of that twitter app.
Callback URL
http://localhost/drupal-7.19/twitter/oauth
twitter host
http://twitter.com
Twitter API
https://api.twitter.com
Twitter search
http://search.twitter.com
TinyURL
http://tinyurl.com
when I want to add at least my own twitter account so that the site can display my tweets. when I want to add this account, an error occurs:
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$data in Twitter->request() (line 131 of root\modules\twitter\twitter.lib.php).
Could not obtain a valid token from the Twitter API. Please review the configuration.
any ideas? thanks in advance.
In my case, uncommenting the line
extension=php_openssl.dll
in php.ini resolved the error.
I'm not sure this will work for you, but this worked for me. I had the same exact error, even though I had followed the documentation. Here's the test: go to admin/reports/status. If you see the following warning: "HTTP request status Fails" this means your drupal/LAMP stack is unable to use DNS to callback to itself. In my case I used my machines's IP to access my Drupal instance. So, rather that use "localhost" use your machine's IP address (you can use ipconfig on MSWin or ifconfig on Mac/Linux) and use that for finishing the twitter account setup process.
Again, not
http://localhost/drupal-7.19/twitter/oauth
but
http://10.0.1.9/drupal-7.19/twitter/oauth
(substituting your machine's IP address)
I was getting the exact same error which i fixed by adding appropriate proxy server details.
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$data in Twitter->request() (line 131 of C:\wamp\www\test_twitter\sites\all\modules\twitter\twitter.lib.php
The problem was due to proxy-settings. I added values for $conf['proxy_server'] and $conf['proxy_port'] in settings.php and this error vanished.
I also verified that if i remove the proxy settings, this error is reproduced again.
Install oauth_common and twitter on your Drupal site
Check that both Oauth and the Twitter modules are enabled. I didn't use any of the other Twitter modules to do this
Go to the twitter module in Drupal
Go to the Configure (button) -> settings (Tab)
(note that the Callback URL is http://localhost/yourwebsite/twitter/oauth i.e. it doesn’t have to be 127.0.0.1)
Click on the link that says register your application
Go to twitter and sign in to be a developer
Add a new application, making a distinct feed name
Enter your site details
For localhost use: http://127.0.0.1:8000/twitter/oauth for both the website and callback URLs
Press save when you've done
Next go to the Test OAuth button - this will give you your illusive consumer key and consumer secret key
Back to the Drupal website and and to the twitter module to configure (button) -> settings (Tab)
Copy and paste these consumer and consumer secret keys you just got
Press Save configuration
Hopefully no errors.
Go to the twitter tab in the module and hopefully your twitter avatar has appeared
Read the top of the page where it says "Tweets are pulled from Twitter by running cron. You can view the full list of tweets at the Tweets view."
Select the View Tweets checkbox and click view - Chances are your tweets won’t show up in the next window - yet
Go to your drupal Configuration screen and to [System] Cron and press the "Run cron"
Now go back to view tweets from the twitter module and they should all appear
[This was a pig to figure out]
I'm trying to make a app that integrates into the WHMCS that will allows admins to set posts that will be put on their FB page's wall at a certain time.
I am using a piece of code that allows me to post to the page ok but when trying to run the PHP script from a CLI (Shell):
root#golf [~]# php -q /home/host/public_html/modules/addons/social/cron.php
I receive the following message:
Please check Facebook API settings, OAuthException: (#803) Some of the
aliases you requested do not exist: 0
Could someone please tell me what this message means and how I can get this working.
Also if I have not access the app from the web interface for a while the following message is displayed:
Exception: 102: parameters uid or session key required
A popup then appears on that page and it refreshes, the message is no longer there (until I come back a little later)
Would be great for as much help as I can get.

I am trying to create an ASP.NET page that connects to QuickBooks Online Edition, read a couple of values, and display the results. So far I have downloaded the QuickBooks SDK but I have been unable to find a simple step-by-step example on how to create an asp.net page to connect to QuickBooks Online. The QuickBooks SDK documentation and the SDK itself is very confusing and overwhelming. Anyone know of a simple step by step tutorial on where to get started... or maybe a hint on the very first thing to do.
Yishai's answer is partially correct, but not entirely.
You can have your ASP .NET application log in and issue requests without having to send the user over to the QuickBooks Online log in page if you make sure to set the security preferences correctly when you connect up your application to QuickBooks Online Edition.
During the application registration process/connection process, it will ask you if you want to turn on or off login security with a prompt as below. You must tell it you want to turn off login security if you want to be able to access QuickBooks Online Edition data without forcing the user to log in every time. The prompt is something like:
"Do you want to turn on login security?"
You must select:
"No. Anyone who can log into [Application Name] can use the connection".
Outside of that, Yishai is correct about the process. To re-iterate, in a nutshell:
Register for a QBOE account
Register your integrated application with Intuit's AppReg service
Visit a specific link to tie your AppReg application to your QBOE account (make sure you turn off login security when it asks you!)
Make HTTPS POST requests to Intuit's servers to sign on using the connection ticket Intuit will provide you with
Make HTTPS POST requests to send qbXML requests to Intuit's servers, which you can use to add, modify, delete, and query records within QuickBooks Online Edition.
There is some additional documentation and some example requests on my QuickBooks development and integration wiki, specifically the QuickBooks Online Edition integration page.
I have built a solution that does what you're asking in PHP which adds, modifies, and queries data within QuickBooks Online Edition without requiring the user to log in everytime, and it works like a champ. It pushes and pulls order data between a PHP shopping cart (VirtueMart) and QuickBooks Online Edition. The PHP code is available here:
QuickBooks PHP Framework
As a side note, unless you're very familiar with generating SSL certificates and sending them via HTTPS POSTs, you'll save yourself a whole lot of trouble by using the DESKTOP model of communication, and not the HOSTED model. Just make sure to keep your connection ticket securely encrypted.
Also, Yishai's suggestion to: "One is to programatically hit up their login page and submit the credentials as if you were a user. I'm sure its not "supported" but it would likely work." goes specifically against the security/developer guidelines Intuit and the SDK set forth. If they catch you doing that, they'll ban your application from connecting to QuickBooks.
Here are all the steps I took to get this working. Special thanks to Keith Palmer for his comments, answers, and his website which really helped me get this working.
Register your application at http://appreg.quickbooks.com. This will give you your App ID and Application Name. I used these settings:
Target Application: QBOE
Environment: Production
Application Type: Desktop
(using Desktop made things much easier as far as not needing certificates)
A verification key is sent to your email address which you need to enter on page 2 of this wizard.
Set up your QBOE Connection. Once you finish registering your application in Step 1, you will then have an Application ID. Use this ID in the url below to set up your QBOE Connection:
https://login.quickbooks.com/j/qbn/sdkapp/confirm?serviceid=2004&appid=APP_ID
NOTE: Make sure to replace APP_ID in the above url with the Application ID that was created when you registered your application.
The wizard will take you through the following steps:
Specifying a name for your connection.
Granting Access Rights - I gave All Accounting rights since this was easiest.
Specify Login Security - I turned Login Security Off. This is important since it makes submitting the xml to the QBOE much easier since you do not need to get a session ticket for each user.
You will then be given a Connection Key.
At this point you now have the 3 important pieces of information in order to gain access to your QuickBooks Online Edition (QBOE) account.
Application Name
Application ID
Connection Key
Post the XML to QBOE with the 3 pieces of access information and the actual request into your QBOE database. Here is sample c# code that will post to the QBOE gateway. This will return all customers in your QuickBooks database. Make sure to update the xml below with your Application Name, Application ID, and Connection Key.
string requestUrl = null;
requestUrl = "https://apps.quickbooks.com/j/AppGateway";
HttpWebRequest WebRequestObject = null;
StreamReader sr = null;
HttpWebResponse WebResponseObject = null;
StreamWriter swr = null;
try
{
WebRequestObject = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(requestUrl);
WebRequestObject.Method = "POST";
WebRequestObject.ContentType = "application/x-qbxml";
WebRequestObject.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
string post = #"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8"" ?>
<?qbxml version=""6.0""?>
<QBXML>
<SignonMsgsRq>
<SignonDesktopRq>
<ClientDateTime>%%CLIENT_DATE_TIME%%</ClientDateTime>
<ApplicationLogin>APPLICATION_LOGIN</ApplicationLogin>
<ConnectionTicket>CONNECTION_TICKET</ConnectionTicket>
<Language>English</Language>
<AppID>APP_ID</AppID>
<AppVer>1</AppVer>
</SignonDesktopRq>
</SignonMsgsRq>
<QBXMLMsgsRq onError=""continueOnError"">
<CustomerQueryRq requestID=""2"" />
</QBXMLMsgsRq>
</QBXML>";
post = post.Replace("%%CLIENT_DATE_TIME%%", DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss"));
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(post);
post = xmlDoc.InnerXml;
WebRequestObject.ContentLength = post.Length;
swr = new StreamWriter(WebRequestObject.GetRequestStream());
swr.Write(post);
swr.Close();
WebResponseObject = (HttpWebResponse)WebRequestObject.GetResponse();
sr = new StreamReader(WebResponseObject.GetResponseStream());
string Results = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
finally
{
try
{
sr.Close();
}
catch
{
}
try
{
WebResponseObject.Close();
WebRequestObject.Abort();
}
catch
{
}
}
Couple things to note:
As pointed out by Keith Palmer the qbxml version needs to be 6.0 (even though the IDN Unified On-Screen Reference shows 7.0)
I needed to include the onError="continueOnError" attribute.
Setting the WebRequestObject.ContentLength property is required.
Content Type needs to be "application/x-qbxml"
And finally I received many "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request." exceptions which were not helpful at all but in the end I was able to trace them to something wrong with the xml. So if you get this exception look to your xml as the source of the problem.
The outline of what you have to do are outlined in Chapter 7 of the QBSDK documentation (at least in the 7.0 version of the SDK that I have). You have to open a test account and get permission to connect to their servers.
Once you have your account setup, the basic authentication procedure consists of redirecting your user to the QuickBooks Online site to log in, and once the user has done that, QuickBooks calls back your application with an HTTPS post with a ticket, which is basically a session handle that you can use for your requests, so that the system knows you are authenticated. When you get that response, you parse it and send your own login request to the system based on what you got back.
Then (if I understood the documentation correctly) you are basically doing Https POSTS of xml files with the QuickBooks requests, and you get XML responses that you have to parse to get the data you want.
I hope that gets you started.
The rest of the SDK is documentation (which you will need to know how to form your requests and parse your responses) and everything else is concerned with how to communicate with the desktop product. The only thing you are going to need from the rest of the documentation is how to do error handling, which is really only important if you are posting data to QuickBooks. If you are just reading, it doesn't matter (either your request works out or it doesn't, you don't need to worry about if you need to retry or if that would result in duplicate data).
EDIT: Given your specific use case I see two options. (You aren't crazy, just not the typical QuickBooks Online scenario).
One is to programatically hit up their login page and submit the credentials as if you were a user. I'm sure its not "supported" but it would likely work.
The other is to cache the results (which you should probably do anyway) and have an admin screen where someone does log into QuickBooks online and update the results every morning or evening or whatever makes sense.
In most small businesses, they are going to opt for the first option, but the second one is going to work more consistently, robustly and actually be supported by Intuit if you have an issue.
This looks pretty close to what you need: www.QuickbooksConnector.com
