I was using the MySpaceToolKit API that I found on CodePlex and it was working a week ago authenticating with no problems.  However, I just discovered now MySpace REST servers are responding back with "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized." message.  Has something changed on MySpace side?  Is there now another way to authenticate and get user profile, friend list and other info?

Thanks...

 I didn't realize we created a toolkit.  But besides that, the 401 unauthorized error does not soundgood.

Does this only happen if you use the "toolkit" ?

I'm guessing but I think there was a change - there was/is a blog about it and I know some libs needed to change

That's 'cause the Toolkit wasn't created by MySpace -- Joseph (not Joseph Estrada, the MySpace guy behind the Flex/AS3 Library) created it in the early days of the platform. He has since disappeared, and the ToolKit hasn't really gotten much attention.

To answer Edward's question: yes, last week the RESTful servers were segregated for security reasons. Here's the blog about it:

I'd have to go through the original Toolkit code to confirm (the copy I have has been through the ringer), but I suspect that it's making requests to 'api.msappspace.com', not 'api.myspace.com'.

heh.. you'd of thunk the 401 error would have triggered my memory. Thanks J

To the OP: Let me know if that fixes ya.

To Jeremy: You should write a book on usless MDP trivia. LOL. I crack up when you respond with a hisotry of something I have no clue about! 

That did the trick.  I changed the base uri to api.myspace.com and it's now making the calls correctly.   Thanks Jeremy and Ronda.

Sorry, I haven't disappeared. Just been preoccupied. My wife and I just had our second child who had to stay in the NICU for awhile.

Other than that, there have been a few developers that are working with me to update the Toolkit. Additionally, the toolkit wasn't actually broken then.. because this isn't a hardcoded value in the source code. This is a parameter. However I should update the picture on the homepage at codeplex.com

Thanks all!
