I am developing an application and need to build a feature where the owner can see minimal information about other app users (such as: name, profile pic, link to MySpace profile, etc.). Using the OpenSocial Javascript API, it is easy to get this data for friends of the owner that also have the app installed; however, I don't understand how to get this data for app users that are not friends.

Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?

I was just checking the OpenSocial 0.8 JavaScript API at:

http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Requesting_Data_in_OpenSocial#Fetching_a_group_of_people

And found this line about retrieving data by ID:

"This section introduces the fetch people request, which is commonly used to retrieve the friends of the current viewer or app owner but can also retrieve specific individuals if their OpenSocial IDs are known..."

In my application, I do know the OpenSocial IDs of all the other app users. However, it is not clear if these OpenSocial IDs must belong to either the friend or the owner in order to access them.

Still perplexed...
