This probably stims from not understanding something really basic about the process of OAuth....or just how this all works in general

BUT

I'm trying to enable it so I can have external access to the data at

http://www.myspace.com/shanerinoz (which is a myspace account I Have access to)

 Is there a way to do this? Or can I only access accounts that are associated with my developer account?

I tried doing the OAUTH thing to "Authorize" access

I'm able to get to the screen where I can click "Yes, Link this Account" but when I click "Yes" I get the following error

"401 - Unauthorized Request - You must be a developer of the application to be able to authenticate.  "

:(

Which makes me think there is something fundamental I'm missing..... 

All I want to do is retrieve the pix from 
http://www.myspace.com/shanerinoz

and display them in a slideshow on an external site...
like this person does

The valid REST API calls currently available through Data Availability can be seen at: http://developer.myspace.com/community/myspace/da.aspx Are you able to successfully use the TechCrunch external application? It can be found at: http://www.techcrunch.com/myspace/app.php You can find the code for that app here: http://github.com/techcrunch/myspace_oauth/tree/master It would be helpful for us to determine whether your problem is related to OAuth, or to the API calls you are using.

cool that's good info...

And I just found the "Manage Developers" link for an app which I think might solve my problem...

But I think I broke it somehow :(

I clicked manage developers
It brought up all my friends and let me search through them
I couldn't find the friend I wanted to add
So I sent them a friend request
They accepted the request
I went back to manage developers and now it keeps giving me this message

"External Data Access > Manage Developers
You don't seem to have any friends to add as developers.
Please add some friends."

alright I closed everything down and ran CCLeaner and now it comes up ......

But it only has my top friends in the list...

is that by design?

 

I find myself in a related circumstance.  I am able to retrieve the oauth_token and oauth_token_secret for my app (consumer_key=http://www.myspace.com/394954881).  And, I am landing on the authorize page.

But, after providing a valid developer login/password, I am redirected to Authorize.aspx with my original parameters, with the message "500 - Internal Server error" where the "... wants to link to your MySpace account. By confirming, you will allow access to your MySpace data, including your Display Name, Profile, and your Friends List, while you are using the site." message appeared previously.

Update on this, after clearing caches and rebooting, it's working better now.

glad it is working. let us know if you run into any other questions.

JAB Hello World:

 Make sure you also provide an oauth_callback to the authorize page.
