    Getting basic user info with Open Canvas

    Open Canvas and App Settings Enhancements

    This post seems to indicate that we should be able to get some sort of basic user info using the REST API even when the user doesn't have the app installed.I'm wondering what the request should look like.

    http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/VIEWER/user.xml?opensocial_token=...

    Gets me an error  Rogue request trapped. URI:...

    http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/VIEWER?opensocial_token=...

    Gets me: User has not installed the current application or application does not have access to requested resource

    What's the REST request for getting this basic user data for uninstalled users?

    I just gave up on it. It was one of those "would be nice to have" sort of featurs. Wondering if maybe I need to use a different REST endpoint than http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/?

    Hey Brock, OC isn't fully implemented yet. I'm told that this will be available once it is. I'll update more when I know more :)

    Thanks!

     Hi,

     We are in the process of reviewing he permissions for 0.9  At this point neither v0.8 nor 0.7 REST end points allow to get basic information if the user do not have the app install. I'll keep you posted when we have a final version of the permission for the REST end points and if we are going to implement the changes on 0.8
