Very soon now, we'll be formally announcing a server-to-server API which will allow you to access orkut profile information from any HTTP- aware client, although the implemented authentication scheme makes it most useful for building applications that run inside orkut as gadget- based apps do today, although this will change with time.
However, as I said above, the API is read-only -- you will not be able to set a user's profile image or any other profile details using the API. You will, however, be able to consume this information. It doesn't sound as if this API will satisfy your use case completely, unfortunately, but I'm happy to answer any other questions that you have regarding orkut application development. - Jason On Nov 24, 8:40 pm, Prayag <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Nov 24, 11:09 am, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Hi Prayag.
