I have been doing some research on Facebook and Instagram for a project
Unfortunately, Facebook does not provide complete documentation, In my opinion,
because of the security
I want to save facebook media in my database
but
How can I get the format of this URL?
Facebook does not specify the type of file about story mentions
urlstory_mention
Pay attention to the image below

Hi guys. I'll be rather brief if I can so here goes.
I made this app in C# that goes onto my employee portal and automatically gets my shifts for me every 30 minutes my using a web browser control and then it reads the HTML data from that and generates a calendar for me and also provides automated alerts.
Issue
Problem is that this web browser uses IE (yeesh help me) and it doesn't work with all parts of the site. I have done some digging around on the site and I found where the ASP site gets the data from: An XML sheet somewhere on the server. I can access this XML sheet, but only if I'm logged in (please see the attached images for more information).
Current solution
So my question is this: How do I actually login to this area?
I could login using the webbrowser and then download the XML using that, but it's too slow and too old, so is there a way I can pass my credentials through?
The URL is like this "https://www.mycoles.com.au/api/rosters/nextweek" -- I don't see any thing like ?name=myname ?pass=mypassword... soo yea. (I'm a bit new).
Further details:
Application language: C#.
Current technology: Windows forms applications/ IE web browser control.
Site backend: Microsoft Sharepoint.
Anything I'm missing? Please ask..?
Attached content
Mycoles XML Logged in
Mycoles XML Access Denied
Update:
So after a while of searching and examining the site, I tried to access the data with a c# webbrowser and it didn't work. It said that it can't download the data, however chrome is able to. Odd. I'm not sure it is an XML file anymore, rather a request and I don't have enough knowledge to work with this, so pointers anyone? Check this site out https://www.mycoles.com.au/api/rosters/nextweek and tell me what you think it is please. Thanks in advance... :)
SharePoint supports different forms of authentication. Out of the box, Active Directory-based single sign-on is provided, and forms-based (username, password) authentication can be configured.
Typically, organizations use AD SSO for its simplicity. If, once you open your desktop browser and navigate to a SharePoint site, you don't have to enter any credentials and are just logged in, then it's most likely this case. This can be either Kerberos or NTLM. The HttpWebRequest class supports both these methods.
I'm trying to write a service, that can get the Instagram feed for a specific user.
Im using InstaSharp, but I can't figure out how to do the authentication without redirecting the end user to a https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize url
I can't find any examples, beside this (and others looking like it)
Can anyone give me any pointers.
For now I have a Instagram app in sandbox mode, and a selection of users, who have accepted the sandbox invite.
I don't think it's possible with this library. You better generate your access token by yourself - https://elfsight.com/blog/2016/05/how-to-get-instagram-access-token/ and then request user's feed as like this
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{USER-ID}/media/recent/?access_token={YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN}
If you want to deserialize your JSON object to c#, please use this service - http://json2csharp.com for generating your class and then using Newtownsoft library:
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(yourClass)
Good luck.
I'm POSTing a video using the Facebook graph API video endpoint, everything working fine. But I can't figure out how to provide a custom thumbnail. The API says to provide a thumb parameter:
The video thumbnail raw data to be uploaded and associated with a video.
But what exactly does 'raw data' mean? I've tried encoding it as base 64 (with and without data:image/jpeg;base64, prepended, but always get the error:
OAuthException
(#100) Invalid image format. It should be an image file data.
I get the same using the graph API explorer.
I'm using C# (via ASP.NET Web API).
I see similar questions online about other languages, but no .NET friendly solution.
API version 2.9.
Thanks
I've already checked some questions here on SO but couldn't find much help...
This one, for instance, is from 2011:
Embed Google docs editor into webpage?
My users need to be able to edit their Word documents on my website, just like Google docs editor and Office 365. Since I couldn't find information on how to easily integrate those, my current attempt was to convert the Word document to HTML (using OpenXmlPowerTools.HtmlConverter.ConvertToHtml) show it in a HTML editor and after the user edited the content save it back to the file (using NotesFor.HtmlToOpenXml).
Is this going to work? Is there any way to integrate either Google Docs or Office 365 to my website, allowing user to edit their content right there? If not, is it possible to programmatically create a document, send it to Google Docs/Office 365 have the user edit it there and then get the document back to save locally again?
Box and Dropbox have done it:

Thanks!
The only thing i've been working with is Office365, so my answer is based on that, but i think you would be able to do the same in Google Apps.
Right now it's not possible to embed a document from Office365 in your own website for editing, only for viewing, but i guess this might change at some point.
But what you could do is to create a document, upload it do OneDrive, get a link to that file and make a button to open it in Office Online, after the edit is done, then the file would be on the users OneDrive.
If you would like to get the file to your system, it's just a matter of getting access to the users OneDrive.
Most of the operations can be achieved with the Graph API, http://graph.microsoft.io/, and all of it can be done without the user having to do anything. You just need to get the right permissions for the app that gets acess to Office365.
I am developing a Facebook application, where my application will aggregate all the photos of my friends in their albums. How will i achieve using graph api and C#?
First, look at this answer: Can I use the Facebook graph api to get user's friends profiles pictures ?
This will let you know how to generally use the graph api to get the to the friends. If you use albums instead of photo, you should get all the albums of a friend.
To get there, you will also need the friends_photos permission. I don't know if it is still up to date, but maybe you will need some more permissions.
I'm no C# developer, but these links will help you:
C# Facebook Graph API Library
Facebook C# SDK
Facebook API from C# – Getting the list of friends
Facebook recently made a nice tool you can use to explore how to get the details you need. It's called the Graph API Explorer and can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
But what is said in the other answer is correct. First you get the list of friends. Then their albums, and then the photos in the albums. Once you get the hang of the Graph API it's quite easy, but it requires a bit of tinkering to figure out at first.
If you are using C# you can use a WebRequest to get the data. Whenever you access http://graph.facebook.com/whateveryouwant it will return a string of JSON-data. This you can parse using a JSON-librabry like litJSON.
I have made an application that gets the profile photos, and it is not that hard. Just remember to get the right permissions.
The easiest way to do this is to use the Javascript API to get the loginstatus and then get some permissions. If you set cookies: true when you init the Facebook API you can get the accesss_token from the cookie. The cookie is named "fbs_YOURAPPID".
Also you need to make a developer app to get an access_token.
