I am new to api's and I was wondering if any one had some example code which create's authentication strings similar to Myspace's API Tool (Request Format:By URI).

 I need to be able to create my own authentication strings rather than relying on the API Tool.

Any help would be appreciated : )

 Thanks guys,

 Ian. 

 I have listed my code below:

I am using HttpWebRequest's to send a request and then reading the data retrieved.

string str1="http://api.msappspace.com/v1/users/39553482/profile.xml?oauth_consumer_key=4234F2B2-B4E3-420a-9839-7966192982A1&oauth_nonce=62422021702774888&oauth_signature=0K424l0rteTJ5HhvdFICrC4wVc%3D&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1203105370&oauth_token=&oauth_version=1.0";

HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(str1) as HttpWebRequest;

        // Add authentication to request 
        request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "password");

        // Get response 
        using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
        {
            // Get the response stream 
            XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(response.GetResponseStream());
 

I have posted up a myspace toolkit. You can check it out at http://www.codeplex.com/myspacetoolkit

Additionally, you can read about my experience integrating into the REST API's via .NET C# on my blog entry. It took a couple of days to get past some of the initial issues with authenticating. It mostly had to do with how the example OAuth C# class was written and how myspace requires the authentication token.

Give me feedback on what you think of the initial toolkit.

http://www.oauth.net information about the authentication method used.

Soon enough, I'll be adding in an XML parser class and using an existing JSON parser class so that there can be serialization done to create objects for the responses.

Thanks!

Hello Joseph,

                           Thanks a lot for your toolkit. It really works. Have you done with the parser? This will be a great tool for all myspace developers. If you are done with it, then please share the code with us. I am in great need of it.

Thanks in advance
