Updated OpenSocial Activities API

What are your friends up to?

We're helping people answer that question with an upgrade of the OpenSocial Activities endpoint! You can use it to retrieve what you’ve been up to, what your friends have been up to, or even just limit it to certain activities, like the songs people are sharing.

This RESTful endpoint allows you to get rich data associated with each activity with the amount of detail you desire, whether only the activity title or complete details. The activity data is structured according to the ActivityStrea.ms standard, in addition to containing Myspace-specific properties.

With this release the Activities endpoint now returns all activity types and supports filtering for specific types of activities. As before the endpoint allows you to get metadata about the fields, activity types, and object types that are supported.

Current app developers: If your app currently uses the OpenSocial Activities endpoint, no code changes are required. Your app will automatically get the new data exactly as before.

All developers: An example is shown below and detailed documentation is available at http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=OpenSocial_v0.9_Activities

Here’s an example of activities of friends seen on a user’s page:

Activites shown on the Myspace.com website

For example, to retrieve activities of friends, HTTP GET to http://api.myspace.com/1.0/activities/@me/@friends

The JSON response that corresponds to the last activity is shown below:
