    Profile Data / Friends API

    Is there an API that allows you to retreive all public info from a user's profile including their age/location etc... as well as their list of friends? Ideally I would like to access this info from C# and not a "MySpace App". It shouldn't require authentication since you can easily browse to people's public profiles without signing in. I could write a screen scraper but am hoping that MySpace API is making this available in a more robust way. I have heard of Google's Open Social and Social Graph APIs but can't seem to figure them out to do what I am asking. Here's the code I would like to be able to write:

    Person rootPerson = new Person(<friendId>);

    stringDisplayName = rootPerson.DisplayName;

    stringCountry = rootPerson.Country;

    int friendCount = rootPerson.friendIDs.Count;

    int [ friendIDs = rootPerson.friendIDs;

    foreach (int friendID in friendIDs)

    {

    loadData(friendID);

    }

     

    etc...

     

    etc...

    Re: Profile Data / Friends API

    I would also like to know if there is a way to access the public information without any kind of authentication. All I want is to display an artist's friend count on my website...

     

    Josh did you ever find a solution?

     

    Cheers,

    Jack
