I have been looking into Spring Social Facebook's publish(objectId, connectionName, data) API, but am not sure of the usage of this API (sadly, due to lack of javadocs!). Can someone point me to a comprehensive sample usage of the API, please?
What I am looking to do is publish a story on a user's wall, similar to the below snapshot:
How should the publish() API be used to do the same? Any help is highly appreciated!
Also, I need my post to have additional actions (apart from Like, Comment).
The link given by you already having a lot documentation for method.
Find one example with flow of publish(objectId, connectionName, data) here
Also see many examples for at github-SpringSource for additional actions including publish(objectId, connectionName, data).
Update:
You might get some help from this method:
public void postToWall(String message, FacebookLink link) {
MultiValueMap<String, String> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>();
map.set("link", link.getLink());
map.set("name", link.getName());
map.set("caption", link.getCaption());
map.set("description", link.getDescription());
map.set("message", message);
publish(CURRENT_USER, FEED, map);
}
Here's what I could finally figure out:
MultiValueMap<String, String> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>();
map.set("link", linkUrlString);
map.set("name", "Link Heading");
map.set("caption", "Link Caption");
map.set("description", "Loooooo....ng description here");
map.set("message", "hello world");
// THE BELOW LINES ARE THE CRITICAL PART I WAS LOOKING AT!
map.set("picture", "http://www.imageRepo.com/resources/test.png"); // the image on the left
map.set("actions", "{'name':'myAction', 'link':'http://www.bla.com/action'}"); // custom actions as JSON string
publish(userIdToPostTo, "feed", map);
Like above answer but I use post for my solution. See this:
MultiValueMap<String, String> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>();
map1.set("link", "https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006216492034");
map1.set("name", "Project Test Post to Group");
map1.set("caption", "Please ignore this Post");
map1.set("description", "YOLO here is my discription, Please ignore this post");
facebook.post("userId or GroupID", "feed", map);

I have to call a DELETE Method inside one of the APIS of a client.
This shouldn´t be a problem but I am struggling with the framework that my company currently uses and I hope I can get some info that hopefully will help me solve the problem:
First thing first.
1: The api doesn´t work if I do the call sending the params as URL:
2: It works completely OK if I send the params inside the body as x-www-form-urlencoded but not form-data or raw
The documentation of the method inside the API told us the following: (Important to Look to IDEtapa)
I have to do this call in JAVA (JAVA 8)
currently my company uses HTTP_CLIENT as the main framework for APICalls.
My code:
The build of the Data (Currently I build both, as Entity and as Params for you to view I´ve tried with each one of them indepently):
Map datosApi = new HashMap<>();
datosApi.put(Constants.URL, anular_cita);
Map headers = new HashMap<>();
headers.put(Constants.AUTHORIZATION, params.get("token_autorizacion"));
headers.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
headers.put("entity_charset", "UTF-8");
datosApi.put(Constants.HEADERS, headers);
JSONObject entity = new JSONObject();
Map param = new HashMap();
param.put(Constants.ID_CENTRO, consul);
param.put("IdAsistencia", propiedades[0]);
param.put("IdCapitulo", propiedades[1]);
param.put("IdEtapa", Integer.valueOf(propiedades[2]));
entity.put(Constants.ID_CENTRO, consul);
entity.put("IdAsistencia", propiedades[0]);
entity.put("IdCapitulo", propiedades[1]);
entity.put("IdEtapa", Integer.valueOf(propiedades[2]));
datosApi.put("entity", entity.toString());
datosApi.put("entity_mime_type", "application/json");
datosApi.put("entity_charset", "UTF-8");
datosApi.put("params", param);
String anularCita = APIDao.callAPIDelete(datosApi);
The preparation for my call to the framework:
public static String callAPIDelete(Map in) {
String contentString = "";
Map res = new HashMap<>();
try {
res = XWM.execute("delete#http_client", in);
byte[] content = (byte[]) res.get("content");
contentString = new String(content, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
And inside our framework we have this:
if (StringUtils.equals(StringUtils.trim(method), "delete"))
{
StringBuilder requestUrl = new StringBuilder(url);
if (formparams != null)
{
if (requestUrl.indexOf("?")==-1) requestUrl.append("?");
else requestUrl.append("&");
requestUrl.append(URLEncodedUtils.format(formparams, charset));
}
if (entityRequest != null)
{
log.error("Param 'entity' no puede usarse en get (se ignora)");
}
HttpDelete delete = new HttpDelete(requestUrl.toString());
delete.setConfig(requestConfig);
uriRequest = delete;
}
}
}
}
// Headers
if (headers != null)
{
for (String h: headers.keySet()) uriRequest.addHeader(h, headers.get(h));
}
// Ejecutamos método
log.info("Executing request " + uriRequest.getRequestLine());
CloseableHttpResponse response = null;
if (!preemtiveAuth || credsProvider == null)
{
response = httpclient.execute(uriRequest);
}
As you can see, in the delete method, we ignore the entity that i´ve built in the first patch of code.
The HTTPDelete Class is APACHE, the url with info of the class is the following:
https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.apache.httpcomponents/httpclient/4.5.2/org/apache/http/client/methods/HttpDelete.html
The question can be divided in two:
1: Can we send the Entity in a Delete Call? I have found a few info about this in the following places:
Is an entity body allowed for an HTTP DELETE request?
https://web.archive.org/web/20090213142728/http://msdn.microsoft.com:80/en-us/library/cc716657.aspx
https://peterdaugaardrasmussen.com/2020/11/14/rest-should-you-use-a-body-for-your-http-delete-requests/
I assume that in order to do it, i would need a new HttpDelete that would allow us to use entity, if possible, could you give me some examples of this?
2: For what i understand of the links i posted above, while using entity in Delete calls is not forbidden is something that is not encouraged, Should I just talk with the people who made the API and ask them to change their configuration to allow us to send the info by params? (It is not personal or sensible info, just a bunch of IDs)
Thank you so much for your attention and my apologies for any typo or format mistake, still learning how to make good posts.
EDIT: i have found this answer setEntity in HttpDelete that more or less solve the first issue about if its, posible to send an Entity in a Delete call, but still, don´t now if it should be better to ask them to change their method
As told in the coments by Ewramner and VoiceOfUnreason and in the edits:
1: The answer about how to make this was found in an older post of StackOverflow: setEntity in HttpDelete
2: The answer about "Should I just talk with the people who made the API and ask them to change their configuration to allow us to send the info by params?" was answered by both of them. While it´s not forbidden, it´s something thats not recommended.
My course of action will be:
1: Talk with the people responsible for the API to give them info about this situation.
2: Ask our Architecture team to create a new method that will allow us to do HttpDelete calls with an entity body, just in case that we have to make more API calls like this one.
With this i think all my answers are solved.
Again, Thank you.
I try to access a rest endpoint by using springs RestTemplate.getForObject() but my uri variables are not expanded, and attached as parameters to the url. This is what I got so far:
Map<String, String> uriParams = new HashMap<String, String>();
uriParams.put("method", "login");
uriParams.put("input_type", DATA_TYPE);
uriParams.put("response_type", DATA_TYPE);
uriParams.put("rest_data", rest_data.toString());
String responseString = template.getForObject(endpointUrl, String.class, uriParams);
the value of the endpointUrl Variable is http://127.0.0.1/service/v4_1/rest.php and it's exactely what it's called but I'd expect http://127.0.0.1/service/v4_1/rest.php?method=login&input_type... to be called.
Any hints are appreciated.
I'm using Spring 3.1.4.RELEASE
Regards.
There is no append some query string logic in RestTemplate it basically replace variable like {foo} by their value:
http://www.sample.com?foo={foo}
becomes:
http://www.sample.com?foo=2
if foo is 2.
The currently-marked answer from user180100 is technically correct but not very explicit. Here is a more explicit answer, to help those coming along behind me, because the answer didn't quite make sense to me at first.
String url = "http://www.sample.com?foo={fooValue}";
Map<String, String> uriVariables = new HashMap<>();
uriVariables.put("fooValue", "2");
// "http://www.sample.com?foo=2"
restTemplate.getForObject(url, Object.class, uriVariables);
I am messing around with RapidAPI and i dont undertand the code they give.
Could someone give me a teardown? It says in order to access api i have to write the following code
Map<String, Argument> body = new HashMap<String, Argument>();
body.put("ParameterKey1", new Argument("data", "ParameterValue1"));
body.put("ParameterKey2", new Argument("data", "ParameterValue2"));
try {
Map<String, Object> response = connect.call("APIName", "FunctionName", body);
if(response.get("success") != null) { }
what are parameter keys 1 and 2, the data, and the parameter values
edit1:this is the code snippet i want to use in android studio
HttpResponse<JsonNode> response = Unirest.get("https://spoonacular-recipe-
food-nutrition-v1.p.mashape.com/recipes/search?
diet=vegetarian&excludeIngredients=coconut&instructionsRequired=
false&intolerances=egg%2C+gluten&limitLicense=false&number=
10&offset=0&query=burger&type=main+course")
.header("X-Mashape-Key",
"Xxxxxx")
.header("X-Mashape-Host", "spoonacular-recipe-food-nutrition-
v1.p.mashape.com")
.asJson();
Your example code is using this https://github.com/zeeshanejaz/unirest-android. If you want to use that snippet you could start with that.
Cannot figure out for the life of me how to do this. I've tested the following which isn't working;
String stripeCustomerID = "123";
Customer cu = Customer.retrieve(stripeCustomerID);
cu.setDefaultSource(token);
Map<String, Object> updateParams = new HashMap<String, Object>();
updateParams.put("default_source", token);
enter code here`cu.update(updateParams);
This is the only place the Stripe API documentation hasn't had the answer.
Has anyone implemented this previously?
Regards,
Michael
default_source is expecting a card id not a token id. Thus you either need to:
1) Add the card to the customer and then update the default_source property
or
2) You can set the source property of the customer to the token. By setting source you will add the new card, delete the old default_source, and then set the new one as the default, all in the same API call.
Answer thanks to Matthew;
Customer cu = Customer.retrieve(stripeCustomerID);
Map<String, Object> updateParams = new HashMap<String, Object>();
updateParams.put("source", token);
cu.update(updateParams);
