Hi Aerox, OpenSocial's API's is based on the 'viewer', 'owner' and their friends, which makes a lot of sense, from an application perspective these are the 2 things that are relevant to the application (who's page is it == owner, who's looking at it == viewer, so that always covers the right people :).
The great thing of this conceptual model is that it's also usable for different types of OpenSocial sites, for instance with Google Friend Connect the 'owner' of the page is the site name, and it's friends are the site members... (and the viewer is just a regular person). Likewise a owner could be a picture, a movie or anything else that could have a social context. However privacy is very important too, and by only allowing access to the owner and the viewer and their friends (well actually some small number of networks hide the viewer too because of privacy concerns) you can make sure that applications can't just mine for personal information of people who never chose to interact with the application. So no, it's not possible to fetch a person by his first & last name, however you can always fetch the owner and his friends, and almost always the viewer and his friends too -- Chris On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 2:27 AM, Aerox <aero...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > I'm new in OpenSocial dev, i work with in a rest Application, and i > want to know if is it possible to fetch a person with his Frist and > Last Name ? > > Thank you. > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OpenSocial Application Development" group.
