Experiment with FourSquare, WordPress and the Keyring Social Importers plugin

I will revisit how I used this plugin after I familiarise myself with the guide. I also plan on developing a Keyring importer for Untappd.<br />On Twitter, Xavier Roy posted a <a href=\"https://twitter.com/xavierroy/status/944186489725796352\">response</a> to my <a href=\"http://104.236.229.226/instagram-wordpress/\">post</a> about my experiment with importing Instagram post to WordPress. He suggested I try the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/keyring-social-importers/\">Keyring Social Importers</a> plugin. After some back and forth on Twitter, I gave it a go and updated the original post.<br />The results were not pleasing. However, I was fascinated by the plugin and tried it with Foursquare.<br />The Keyring Social Importers plugin provides a set of social importers that pull in content created on other sites and re-publishes it on a WordPress site. After an initial import, the importers optionally check each hour and automatically download new content. New posts are created for each item imported with support for specific Post Formats, depending on the content type.<br />At the time of writing this, the plugin had not been tested on WordPress 4.9. The untested code can be unstable code and unstable code can lead to security leaks etc. so I configured and tested everything on a test instance of WordPress.<br />I also installed Keyring, a plugin which is required to use with Keyring Social Importer, and which provides the authentication and API connections to each of the external services. I configured API access to Foursquare and then from the \u201cTools-&gt;Import\u201d section of the dashboard I clicked the link to authenticate and to start importing from Foursquare.<br />I\u2019ve had my Foursquare account for a very long time so the import took a lot of time. Each check and photo on my Foursquare account was downloaded and imported into my WordPress Media Library. The imported image was attached to each post as a featured image, which is a feature I wanted, however, each image was also attached in the body of every post and is only 640px \u00d7 479px.<br />The importer leverages the Post Kinds and Simple Location IndieWeb plugins to set the Post Kind to Photo and set the geographic location for the post. However, syndication links were not set. But it\u2019s not too much work to set it manually later.<br />The Foursquare importer works but the results were not attractive. First, I did not want to import every one of my past check-ins. I wanted to limit the initial set of imports. Second, I wanted the higher resolution version of the image.<br />For example, for check-in at <a href=\"https://foursquare.com/khurtwilliams/checkin/5a496adec0f1632dde4f9774\">Osteria Procaccini</a>, the Keyring Social Importer imports this image.<br />I poked around the web and learned that it\u2019s possible to get at this image via the <a href=\"https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/api/users/checkins\">Foursquare API</a>. I discovered that by modifying the image URL and replacing the image dimension with the text <em>original</em>, I could get at the full-size images.

This is a flow that\u2019s used for simple sign-on to websites; for example it\u2019s what <a href=\"https://github.com/PlaidWeb/Authl\">Authl</a> uses, as it\u2019s not requesting permission to the user\u2019s resources, but just associating the user with an identity.

This is a much better protocol in general, <em>but</em> it has the problem of being fundamentally incompatible with older endpoints which do strict parameter checking.</p><p>Unfortunately, the current spec doesn\u2019t document the legacy <code>response_type=id</code> as a backwards-compatibility path, so any newly-written endpoints will not support older clients.

Here\u2019s a few different things I\u2019ve seen proposed:</p>\n<ul><li><code>me</code>: The most straightforward, in keeping with IndieAuth nomenclature.

There\u2019s reasons to do this, so I\u2019d much rather reserve this scope for when IndieAuth supports it natively. On the other hand, it\u2019d also be nice to just automatically start receiving profile data when endpoints start supporting that.</li>\n<li><code>email</code>: This implies that someone will be able to do something unspecified with the user\u2019s email. It\u2019s also not actually an email address that is being requested in the first place.</li>\n<li><code>read</code>: This implies being able to read private data. Keep this scope for things like micropub!</li>\n</ul><p>So for me the decision is either <code>me</code> or <code>profile</code> but both have caveats. I\u2019ll probably go with <code>profile</code> since it seems like the least-confusing thing (at least in the context of Authl), but per the IndieAuth spec you <em>should</em> be able to use any scope you want. But there effectively has to be a scope, at least until every endpoint on the Internet has been updated or at least a reasonable amount of time has passed that all endpoints \u201cshould\u201d have been updated.</p><h2><a href=\"http://beesbuzz.biz/blog/6265-Two-PSAs-regarding-IndieAuth#6265_h2_2_Identity-verification-gap\"></a>Identity verification gap</h2><p>IndieAuth is designed under the assumption that everyone has their own domain name, which is an admirable goal but has a few problems for a lot of people, who don\u2019t have the technical acumen necessary to register and/or host their own domain but do have access to shared-domain hosting (such as <a href=\"https://tilde.club/\">tilde.club</a> or their university-provided academic homepage). However, there\u2019s nothing in the spec that actually requires that someone own their domain, and it\u2019s quite possible for someone to declare an endpoint on such a webpage, with no way for someone to verify that the webpage is authoritative for the entire domain (after all, it\u2019s just a <code>&lt;link&gt;</code> tag or a response header).</p><p>Where this becomes a security concern is that since the IndieAuth spec doesn\u2019t require proof of ownership of the domain, it considers any authentication against any page on a domain to be authoritative for the entire domain.

Optimizing friction

I have tried to improve the indiewebbiness of my site, and understanding what it means to \u201cscratch my own itch\u201d. This resonates particularly lately because it\u2019s leading me to mull over which parts should be hard and easy. Unsurprisingly, much of that is personal preference, and figuring out how I want to optimize from the perspective of user experience. Friction in UX can be a powerful tool, part of what I\u2019m trying to find is where I want to retain friction as it helps me remain intentional.",
