Thanks, Jason! Another thing - we are storing Orkut UIDs - the newFetchPersonRequest requires an opensocial ID. Given a opensocial ID, we can get an Orkut UID using newFetchPersonRequest and then calling viewer.getId().
Is the other way also possible? - given an Orkut UID, to obtain opensocial ID? We can definitely store opensocial IDs but I was wondering if there was a way of doing that on fly. ~ JSON On Sep 22, 6:04 pm, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes -- just pass the user's ID into > opensocial.DataRequest.newFetchPersonRequest instead of 'OWNER' or > 'VIEWER'.
