Building Apps with MySpace SDKs

Building Apps With MySpace SDKs Chak Nanga (Architect) KiamChoo (Sr. Technical Evangelist)

Introduction • SDKs support quot;on-sitequot; and quot;off-sitequot; app development • quot;On-Sitequot;/OpenSocial Applications (Canvas View) – OpenSocial app’s canvas view hosted on your server – Written using a language/framework of your choice – App logic hosted on your servers and displayed on MySpace in an IFrame • quot;Off-Site”/MySpaceID Applications – Apps/Services that leverage MySpace social data outside MySpace – Written in a language/framework of your choice – Apps hosted on your servers

MySpace SDKs Overview • MySpace REST APIs are at the core of the SDKs • SDKs provide a high level interface to the REST APIs – High level APIs to get social data from MySpace (friends, profile etc.) – Abstracts away the protocol details (OAuth signing) • Available in multiple languages – C#, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby • Consistent interface across all the languages • Open-sourced and hosted on google code • Contributors are welcome!

SDK Contents • Core API library and dependent libraries (Oauth, OpenID etc) • Samples for supported usage scenarios – OAuth Delegated Access (“3-Legged” Oauth) – OpenID + OAuth Hybrid • Documentation

Building an “on-site” application • Choose the quot;External IFramequot; radio button in the Canvas Surface tab • Enter the IFrame URL in the text box

Building an “on-site” application • Canvas view rendered in an IFrame • Iframe “src” set to IFrame URL (signed request from MySpace) • Verify signatures when request hits your servers • Extract user id from the request • Utilize the user id in the SDK calls

On-Site App Demo / Code

Building a MySpaceID application

OAuth Delegated Access Demo • Application steps – Get request token – Redirect to authorization page (on MySpace) – User approves application request – MySpace redirects to the supplied callback URL – Get access token – Access social data using the SDK

OAuth Delegated Access Code • Get Request Token + Redirect to Service Provider

OAuth Delegated Access Code • Get Access Token (in the Service Provider callback)

OAuth Delegated Access Code • Access protected resources

OpenID + OAuth “hybrid” Demo • MySpace is a “Combined Provider” (OpenID Provider + OAuth Service Provider) • OpenIDOAuth extension (“hybrid”) – Combines authentication and authorization screen for two protocols – Better user experience • Application steps – Use OpenID library to initiate authentication – Embed OAuth approval request into OpenID authentication request – Combined Provider returns approved request token – Combined Cosumer exchanges the request token for access token – Access social data using the SDK

OpenID + OAuth “hybrid” Code • Embed OAuth approval request

OpenID + OAuth “hybrid” Code • Exchange approved request token for access token • Access user data
