Hey All.

Been through the forums for hours now and cant seem to track down the right REST Call to pass the 'opensocial_token' into in order to grab the user's id

Everything i try gives me a 401 Unathorized error.

Do i call...

http://api.msappspace.com/v1/VIEWER/profile.xml?

or

http://api.msappspace.com/v1/VIEWER.xml?

The API test tool doesnt even have /v1/viewer listed as an option so I'm kinda confused.

 Thanks in advance

There is lots on the forums - and you can do a search on 'Flash' to narrow it down to see the 'pain' some of us are going / have been through. I'm sure some nice chap even posted a link to a .flv a couple of weeks ago [seems like months].

Anyway - its a new (chilly) day here in the UK try an xml load with this

msreq = "http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/viewer.xml?opensocial_token=" + opensocial_token + "&opensocial_mode=" + opensocial_surface +"&detailtype=basic";

Though what you can the do with the viewers userid will be another question.....and not one I can answer....

Thanks.

I eventually figured it out that i needed to be calling...

 http://api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/

instead of

http://api.msappspace.com/v1/

And since a token is being passed in i dont need to be passing in the OAuth signatures.

If you're working in Actionscript 2.0 then I built a framework for REST calls here:

If you're working in Actionscript 3.0 then Joseph Estrada built this one:

You'll need to email Joseph to get him to send you the SWC
