How do I obtain Consumer Key and Consumer Secret for a desktop application. If it involves installation of the application in Myspace developer site, what is the step-by step procedure for it?

For a myspace application, you mean? When you build a new app, that all happens automagically :)

Check out the learn section, under the open social tab. That should provide you with a ton of reading material. 

Let me know if you need more info :)

Actually, I am developing a desktop application which makes use of REST APIs for uploading photos to an user account. I am following these steps for authentication: 1. Obtain a request token from MySpace (This token is not user-specific): 2. Redirect the user to the MySpace login page (using authorization URL and request token). 3. Once the user logs-in, he should be able to authenticate the application for uploading the photos to his account. But, the user is getting the following error "401 - Unauthorized Request - You must be a developer of the application to be able to authenticate" .  I thought, the problem might be with how we have obtained the consumer key OR the way in which we have installed the application. Am I correct to assume like this? Also, as you said, I had tried building the application by clicking on Build Tab in developer site before. But, it leads to 'Email Verification' page. If I click on the link mentioned in the email, the following error message is displayed: "Unexpected error has occurred. The error has been sent to technical group" . Could you please help me in this regard. Thanks in advance.

Can you please post the URL of the error you are getting? It provides us clues to what is holding you up. 

 

Thanks,

The URL related to the email verification error is: http://www.myspace.com/error.aspx?ETH=c21300f672613ead729740bab25507c3&EOH=54f5d70fd6403e32f38abd75f856618a I have one more query related to the same topic: Do I get consumer key and consumer secret only after installing the application? If not, how do I obtain it for desktop application

when i am trying to create a new application it created successfully. i am able to see the consumer key. but when i click on OAuth consumer secret to get the secret only i am able to see the horizontal scroll bar, no secret key. what to do? any idea...

Thanks
