I signed up for Google cloud platform added a card and got 300$ for free for 3 months. I uploaded my bot there using the app engine and got a link to access it. when I click on it and then close it, the bot works and responds to all my messages. But after a while it stops working again until I click on the link provided by google. What might be the problem? Is there any way to fix this? Please tell me how I can configure everything correctly so that my bot is not disabled. Maybe there are other free services? Thank you in advance
It is because if app engine does not receive any requests it stops , it depends on your app engine settings when it sleeps , you can create 2 app engine servers and make them sending GET requests to each other so they will not sleep , this is what i did and it worked fine

The error I'm getting is BETTING_RESTRICTED_LOCATION. But when I run my app locally using London location from VPN I am able to login in perfectly.
Is there a way I can ensure that the app is running from places where betting is legal?
There is another question like this but its very old and doesn't help me.
The IPs of Google Cloud Platform share the same geolocation (US). And it could be possible that your bot doesn't allow connections from this part of the world. If this is the issue, there isn't any available solution within GCP just yet. You can follow this feature request or in the meantime, just point the requests to an on-prem service hosted in London that acts as a proxy.

and I got this error when I try to delete google app engine from Google Apps
You do not have the permissions necessary to uninstall this application.
Today problem gone after I email to support and post this issue =)
I am trying to test out the Google App Engine. I have created an appspot domain, downloaded the sample project and put in all credentials required. I have also enabled Google Cloud Messaging for Android.
When I hit the send button (in the samples GuestBookActivity), I get the message:
"The backend is locked down. The administrator can change the authentication/authorization settings on [my appspot domain]".
Does anyone know about this issue and how to resolve it?
As #Peter Knego said, see point 8 here: https://developers.google.com/cloud/samples/mbs/deploy_backend
I had forgot to open my server for development use.
I am having a weird issue. I created an application on Google App Engine and have a Login with Facebook button on it, for which I am doing server side authentication.
I give the redirect_url, and facebook was calling the URL correctly with no issues. The session parameters that I set were being retrieved on the redirect call and everything was working fine.
Yesterday, I got a domain on godaddy and mapped it to my appspot account using google apps. Now when I click on Facebook login, I am getting two calls on the redirect uri, the first one carries the session varaibles and the session one doesn't. I am not very familiar with domain mapping and followed the steps on Google Apps.
Can anyone help me in the right direction on this.
it's a little out of date, but i documented some GAE to Facebook gotchas here:
http://javagwt.blogspot.com/2010/08/facebook-apps-on-app-engine-without-any.html
It may also help to read about naked domain mapping with godaddy, to make sure you're not getting bounced around. Even though you are mapped to your domain through google apps, you can try to put the redirect URL for facebook as yourappid.appspot.com - the redirect URL you provide, and the one in your facebook app settings must match.
My app, nimbits.com writes to facebook from GAE all of the time - the code is on github under server/facebook

Thanks for the answers bsautner and Michele. I finally figured out the issue. I have google ads on my website. The google ads was trying to parse the URL content and creating a second request for every request that I create. After removing the google ads, I get a single callback with session values retained. It all works now. The final output is this website - www.imagecrashers.com. I will be glad for any suggestions from the gurus here, regarding layout or api calls simplification. Thanks again to all.
use case: 5 - 30 users simultaniously on a chat.
is it a good idea / is it possible to code this on google app engine?
Until the Channel API is released, you'll have to use polling to do this. When that API is released, App Engine will be (IMO, caveat that I work on the team) a great tool for this.
Note that with 1.3.6 you can use the Channel API for local development so you can at least get started implementing something, though it won't work in prod.
maybe it's a stupid question, but couldn't the GAE Application forward incoming messages to all known clients when they are posted to the server?
Why would that not work?
