Hi Praful. The form to retrieve a shared secret which you can use with the server-to-server APIs will be made available shortly.
In general, if you're developing an application in Java, you should use the server-to-server API while the JavaScript API should be used for client-side gadgets only. The JavaScript API generally won't work outside of a container context. Is there a particular reason why you don't want to use the server-to-server APIs? - Jason On Nov 26, 10:52 pm, praful <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Jason, > I am working on the feasibility of a app that connect > to (our) server to perform operation on the orkut.
