Custom URL Schemes (iOS): Pintrest, Google+, Instagram, tumblr

Social Media
#1

Hi folks.  I’ve done a nominal amount of research on this and know how to use some custom URL schemes, but I’m not a real wizard at it yet.  Also, I don’t know if it is possible to open these apps with schemes:

  • Pintrest
  • Google+
  • Instagram
  • Tumblr

I will continue to research this and share what I find, but I wanted to ask the community at large for help.

If you have already learned to open any or all of these apps, please share your secret sauce or point me in the right direction.

For now, I’m only interested in iOS (6+), but any leads (iOS or Android) will be greatly appreciated.

Tchuss!

Thank you for the links.

Now that Facebook supports hashtags… does anyone know if it’s possible to open the facebook app and do a hashtag search in it, using the url scheme with launch args.

In twitter and instagram you do it like this:

twitter://search?query=%23somehashtag

instagram://tag?name=somehashtag
