What is the security difference between API Keys and the client credentials flow of OAuth?
TLDR; The difference comes down to direct access vs. delegated access. OAuth allows you to make delegated access. The benefits of delegated access don’t change if there is a user involved or not. The same arguments that make the OAuth Authorization code flow attractive for user-to-machine access, apply to the OAuth Client credentials flow for … Read more
What DNSs have API access? [closed]
I guess in the last 3 years this is a bit of a solved problem. Here are some to check out: Amazon has a nice dns service now http://aws.amazon.com/route53/ Linode has a free api based dns if you’re a customer. Dynadot has a fee dns with an api if you’re a customer.
OAuth Refresh Token Best Practice [closed]
The client should always be prepared to handle an error returned from the API that indicates that the access_token validation failed. Depending on the implementation the access token may have been revoked or declared invalid otherwise. The client may then use a refresh_token to get a new access token and try again. So you can … Read more
Got problems with webhook to Telegram Bot API
Just another one moment, why your webhooks not work. In my case the reason was in allowed_updates webhook parameter. By calling : https://api.telegram.org/bot<your_bot_token>/getWebhookInfo You can see { “ok”: true, “result”: { “url”: “<your webhook url should be here>”, “has_custom_certificate”: false, “pending_update_count”: 0, “max_connections”: 40, “allowed_updates”: [ “callback_query” ] } } It means, that your bot … Read more

How do you create a document in Google Docs programmatically?
While the docs call it “uploading”, everything boils down to sending an appropriately formatted HTTP POST request, so of course it can actually be a new creation rather than an actual “upload” of an otherwise existing file. (Creation through POST requests is similar to what’s normally described as a REST API, though in real REST … Read more
REST API error code 500 handling
It is a server error, not a client error. If server errors weren’t to be returned to the client, there wouldn’t have been created an entire status code class for them (i.e. 5xx). You can’t hide the fact that you either made a programming error or some service you rely on is unavailable, and that … Read more
Custom Authorization Header
TL;DR Some header names such as Authorization have special rules about caching as well as proxy & client handling; your custom header names would not get the special behavior unless you modified every single proxy & client. The point of using the common Authorization: <type> <value> header as defined in RFC7234 is mostly to ensure … Read more
“Container is not defined” Google chart
I’m not a jquery fan, but I think that $(‘#pie_today_div’) returns a set of matched elements. The attribute computation works because (from jquery documentation) it “gets the value of an attribute for the first element in the set of matched elements”. So try chart = new google.visualization.PieChart($(‘#pie_today_div’)[0]); or directly chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById(‘pie_today_div’));
