I've seen that twitter changed their endpoints to get and send direct messages, I noticed from a reply from here that it is a workaround to be able to send messages with well-known libraries such as tweepy, but all I need in this case is to list the messages in my inbox.
I've noticed that there is an account activity api which I can use to achieve this goal.
But, I do not understand how to implement Challenge-Response Checks, can you provide an example? how twitter checks this? it is through a post request to my site? to what specific URI they do this? I tried sending a pipedream url as webhook (to see what kind of request they were doing, but absolutely no request was shown)
The account activity endpoint is part of Twitter's Premium product - so you may need to pay to use it. They have comprehensive documentation on the CRC - that includes a sample Python implementation.
I think you will find it easier to use to use the GET direct_messages/events/list API call.
That will list all of the messages in your inbox for the last 30 days.

for my dialogflow project I would like to intercept the user request before the dialogflow responds with the appropriated intent.
My goal:
-The user sends a request with an input message
-I access this message, I transform it (I apply a function to it) and then it is delivered to the dialogflow (so dialog.
I'm using a webhook linked to an specific intent. I'm using cloud functions to handle the webhook.
I would like to access the request using this webhook, modify the original request and allow dialogflow to respond according to this new modified request.
I hope I've made myself clear.
Thank you very much in advance!
I think it is not possible using a webhook, I suggest you to take a look at the Dialogflow fulfillment documentation. As you can see in the architecture representation, your webhook is behind of the intent matched, so the user request has been processed by Dialogflow and the fulfillment will perform actions based on the matched intent, so you only be able to modify the task on the service that you defined within the fulfillment and its response.
You could be able to do this according to your use-case, if you're using a custom development to make calls to the Dialogflow API, you can add an additional step between End-User and Dialogflow where you could intercept the user request, modify it and then send it to the Dialogflow API.
If you’re using any integrations such as Action on Google or Dialogflow Hangouts, this will not be possible since these services are the ones that manage the calls to the Dialogflow API.
I am developing one e-commerce app project where I have to track the order status. I use Aftership Webhook API. Webhook provides a tracking event updates to our specified webhook URL(defined in our server). I read documentation but I dont know the proper approach to test the API. and in documentation it is also not defined. Can anyone tell or suggest me how can I test or track the updates.
To test Aftership API, first, you can follow the API reference to get your API key. And to tracking an order with webhook, your need to do the POST /trackings to https://api.aftership.com/v4 beforehand with body like(you can add optional parameter to the request body):
{"tracking": {"tracking_number": "<order tracking number>"}
And then you can follow the webhook documentation and add your webhook URL and configure the types of updates you want to get. At this point, you should be able to see the tracking update HTTP request coming into your webhook URL. Remember it will only send callback request when there is tracking status update.
Also, you can use other tracking APIs to get the status, update the tracking or delete it now.
I am working on django and sending emails to multiple users at once. in the given scenario it only tells me that if it has sent or not.
I want to display the report of same page that how many emails has sent to user successfully and how many not. more if i want to get details why email has failed to sent.
How would i do such things via SENDGRID APIs.
There are two options that I know of:
Connect to SendGrid Event Webhooks and start parsing events for every email to flag ones that were not sent. I believe you can configure SendGrid to only send certain events, so if you're interested in bounces you don't need to worry about handling all events.
The second option is to use a service like sendwithus which will connect to your SendGrid account on your behalf and track all bounces/opens/clicks for you and provide a simpler API/UI to view the data. I believe they do this via SendGrid's webhooks, so it's effectively the same solution but written for you.
Happy to elaborate on either, I've used both before.
This is confusing. So just to clarify:
REQ #1: To fetch basic stats for a URL, you send GET request to:
http://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://some.com
(alternatively, FQL can be used to fetch stats for a URL, but that doesn't return the OpenGraph Object)
REQ #2: To fetch comments for a URL, you do a GET:
http://graph.facebook.com/comments/?ids=http://some.com
REQ #3: To fetch likes for a URL, you GET:
http://graph.facebook.com/likes/?ids=http://some.com
But how do you comment on / like a URL programmatically?
I guess, likes can be created using Open Graph API, right?
https://graph.facebook.com/me/og.likes?object=1234
where 1234 is the OpenGraph Object ID of an article (as returned by REQ #1).
But this requires an approval process, the like action has to be approved by Facebook.
Is there a better way to do this? Can I use for example the Graph API for all these things?
My goal:
Currently I'm using the Facebook like button and comments plugin to create likes and comments. But these use the JS SDK, which is huge, and they generate a lot of external requests. I wanna get rid of them and just send an AJAX request to my server, which would then asynchronously talk to Facebook, and it would post the Like / Comment.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
I read through the Facebook docs briefly and I don't believe you can do this other than the way you indicated with authenticating.
You should also take a look at this thread: 'Like' a page using Facebook Graph API
You would need to authorize every single user before he would be able to like something, and you would need to go through a review process on Facebook. And i am pretty sure you would not get the required permissions approved just because you want to get rid of the JavaScript SDK overhead, to be honest.
The Social Plugins are asynchronously, so the overhead for downloading the SDK is irrelevant as it happens in the background and it is non-blocking.
I have an idea, to do this. You can use long term access token, Once you login you receive short term token. After receiving short term token you need to request your long term access token. Save that token in DB or file.
Then you can use Graph Api, to make requests. This will eliminate the need for access requirement every time you request api.
Just use access token you saved before.
Refer this documentation from Facebook for further clarity.

I can easily get the unread notifications with this query:
https://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/notifications?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
Is it possible to all the notifications (marked as read) too?
Yes, you can specify the parameter include_read as 1 to indicate you wish to receive read notifications.
https://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/notifications?include_read=1&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
this link may be help you
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/notifications-api/
Using The API
Applications can generate notifications by issuing a HTTP POST request to the /user_id/notifications Graph API, with a app access_token.
POST /{recipient_userid}/notifications?access_token= … &template= … &href= …
