Hey Jan, Partially, yes.
OpenSocial defines a javascript API, a way to proxy server side generated content into a gadget, and a RESTful API. In this case if you want to do server to server communication, that RESTful API is exactly what you want. Now I know MySpace does support 3 Legged OAuth + REST (see their development site for details), Hyves however is still running an somewhat older version of OpenSocial (0.7), and the RESTful API was added in 0.8; They have indicated they are interested in upgrading though, so they might support it later this year. An added complexity is that some containers (that's how we call OpenSocial sites that 'container' social apps) do support the people, activities and/or the app data REST end-points, but very few actually support the messaging end-point, spam concerns is probably a reason for this. I'd suggest checking out the documentation on http://wiki.opensocial.org to get an idea of what's available and how it can be used. -- Chris On Sat, Jun 6, 2009 at 11:33 PM, Nieuws poster <nieuwspos...@gmail.com>wrote: > > Hello, > > I would like to develop an application for my own website where people > can send messages and upload media to sites such as Hyves and MySpace. > Can I use OpenSocial for this or is it only suited for gadgets? > > Kind regards, > > Jan > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OpenSocial Application Development" group.
