I'm working on using the Etsy API and have been trying to complete this online tutorial but haven't been able to load any of the data successfully:
http://www.onextrapixel.com/2012/10/01/custom-products-webpage-layout-via-the-etsy-api/
When I load the page, it creates the cache file but the page is blank.
This is my first venture into APIs and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot what the problem might be. It seems like all of the code with loading it into the PHP webpage should work ok.
I've read about a few issues people have had using the Etsy API beacuse of the json cross-domain policy, so I'm wondering if that might be the issue, or if there might be authentication that is required.
I created a pastebin of the code from the tutorial here:

After checking the docs and the API, I got this.
API requests must be made over HTTPS.
Change your links to use https://.

I have developed REST API in core php. This APIs are used in mobile app to fetch data from server.
Now we have a situation where 10000 users are using the app at the same time. When all this users are on app at same time, the server(Amazon EC2 UBUNTU 12.04) fails.
In order to solve this, we have decided to use CloudFlare. After lot of research, it is still not clear how to use cloudflare to cache the response coming from APIs.
Below are few links that I have followed so far:
https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/202775670-How-Do-I-Tell-Cloudflare-What-to-Cache-
https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-pagerules-advanced-caching/ .
We have already set CNAME and HOST details on our CloudFlare account. Can someone help me to know what implementation is needed. Or if this is possible at all or no?
After a lot of research, I found that it is possible to cache the response of REST API. We just need to create a custom page rule.
Just in case someone else is facing the same issue then follow below steps:
1) Get the domain name for your URL. For example, if your API URL is http://xx.xx.xx.xx then you need to get a domain and link it so that your API URL can be http://domainname/...
2) Since the data is not HTML content or CSS, you should create a custom page rule. It is detailed very nicely by cloud flare but is hard to find the link. SO here is the link for the same: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000150272-How-do-I-use-Cache-Everything-with-Cloudflare-
The entire setup with Cloudflare is done and the performance of my server has improved drastically. We just need to follow the steps carefully!!!
I am using HybridAuth to authenticate my social apps through PHP. Using Facebook as an example, I want to send a notification to a user.
When HybridAuth connects to Facebook, it needs to go to the website to allow the connection and then it redirects the browser back to the page that it was on.
The problem is when I am running PHP through AJAX. I'm not sure what is happening but the API call is not run and a notification is not sent. The problem must lie in leaving the AJAX script to connect the social network and not being able to continue with the code.
Any thoughts here?

Redirection doesn't work on Ajax calls. You have to change the coding style here.
There are already 100s of examples out there on how to write such scripts that provides login using facebook. So I'd consider skipping it, since that'll be really broad.
Please try and then come up with some specific issue, we'll be more than glad to help you out. Also, always consider posting a SSCCE to clarify what exactly you tried.
As #coding_idiot stated, authentication won't work in AJAX calls, since authentication requires redirecting the user to the provider. The backend script will die() in the Redirect function.

I am using Facebook's PHP SDK. I looked here (official documentation by Facebook) for help. It is not working for me because I am using images hosted externally but if I try to upload files hosted within my server then it works fine.
Is there any new way to do this. Please try to explain both (Posting to feed and to some folder/album). Sorry for this question but others here were of no help to me.
Please suggest any PHP editor that is compatible with Facebook's API. (Auto-completion etc.)
Stack is normally for solving small issues (think using = rather than > in a query) not a complete project.
Have you attempted writing this code yourself, if so what errors is it spitting out? rather than saying it doesn't work.
If the images are stored somewhere out there, you need to download them to your server and upload them to FB. You can't just tell FB an URL of an image, it's not working like this.
In order to upload fotos, you may use the "photo post" Method on the FB API. And it wants the binary data of the image. You may link an input and an output stream to that (what I would prefer using Java since no storage is needed).
Since your code is working with locally hosted images, just encapsulate that part and make the external image an internal one first.
I've searched quite thouroughly but can't find a proper answer so here I am, asking support for the first time about this API.
I am using Zend Framework to develop a mobile web application that also integrates a part of Facebook. So I started digging into the Facebook PHP SDK, and got my url and library working. The one problem I come across is that when Facebook acknowledges the login, it redirects with the known blabla.bla/?blabla= get parameters. Zend Framework however operates by using Url Rewrite, so these two collide.
I can't find an option for Facebook to use an Url Rewrite friendly response, is there a way to get Facebook to do this for me, or am I supposed to create a stand alone response page to redirect the proper Url Rewrite?
Best regards,
Casper
There is no such a thing as URL "friendly option", if you are having problems, it has to be with the URL that you are giving Facebook for the redirect, and the method you are using to get the variable content.
Zend framework can work with variables sent using "pretty" URLs, or normal requests, you can use the zend version that is something like this:
$this->getRequest()->getParam('your_param_name');
Or the normal one
$_GET["your_param_name"]
In you action and it will work just fine.
Take a look at the complete documentation here:

I'm developing a project using Javascript, PHP and OpenLayers. A lot of maps are loaded using and HTTPS connection against an external OGC server.
When I try to load the map using HTTPS, they doesn't load (instead of, they show me an "Error loading the map, try again later").
I think that the problem is because of Digital Certificate. If I load directly from the server (using a WMS call) like this (look the last parameter):
https://serverurl/ogc/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=ms1:lp_anual_250&styles=&bbox=205125.0,3150125.0,234875.0,3199875.0&width=306&height=512&srs=EPSG:4326&format=application/openlayers
The browser ask me for my authorization to see it. If i accept the Digital Certificate, I can see the map. After that, and because of my browser now accepts the certificate, I can see my own map from my own application.
So, the question is: Is there any way to ask for the Digital Certificate mannually when the user access to my web?
Thanks in advance!
PS: solutions using PHP are welcome too because I'm using CodeIgniter to load views
You could try opening the WMS URL in a div or perhaps a hidden iframe - that may cause the browser to pop up its 'Unknown cert' dialogue.
Im going to quote another user (geographika) from gis.stackexchange. I hope can help to someone with my issue:
You can use a proxy on your server so
all client requests are made to your
server, which deals with the
certificate, gets the request and
passes it back to the client. For PHP
have a look at
http://tr.php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-verify.php
If you are also using WMS software
(MapServer, GeoServer) you could
implement the same technique using a
cascading WMS server.
For details on how to do this in
MapServer see
