Hi, have you checked out our reference section?

 hey,

thx for your reply. 

yes i did, but there are some points i can't understand.

http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/VIEWER/profile.xml works fine with me

also http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/VIEWER/friends.xml but this doesn't give all the information i need.

now i am trying http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/VIEWER/friends/profile.xml

but it is giving me an error (friend ids must be positive ...) i realy don't know how to pass the friend ids to this url.

 your help is highly appreciated.

i don't think you can especially if they don't have the app installed

Yeah - that's a problem. To Eddie - he's using the AS3 library, which accesses the REST API through an OpenSocial implementation - there is no OpenSocial function which takes an arbitrary Id to collect information (only the constants VIEWER and OWER), so there is no function in the AS3 library, either.

About this: http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/VIEWER/friends/profile.xml

Where did you find that endpoint? I've never seen the ability to collect "profile" through friends of a user. The closest endpoint I found like that is this:

http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/{userId}/friendslist/{friendId}.xml

But that just returns the same Basic information set as any friends' request (the exception being that you can get a specific friend by Id, instead of having to page through returns until you find the friend you want).

What Eddie means when he says they must have the App installed is that you can then use their Id in place of VIEWER; but as I said, that functionality isn't available in the AS3 Library, as far as I'm aware.

Hi,

many thanks to Jeremy and Eddie.

actually "http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/{userId}/friendslist/{friendId}.xml"  is giving me "Endpoint not found."

about "http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/VIEWER/friends/profile.xml":

since i can't find any Reference  for  "http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1"  endpoints i tryed to

test all the combinations i can think of :P

but the strange thing is that "http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/VIEWER/friends/profile.xml"  didn't give "Endpoint not found."

it gave me an error statig that i have to provide friend id!!!! 

can you guys provide me with a reference to  http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1"  endpoints.

 thanks, you have been very helpfull.

Regards

Saed
