Duplicating Notifications

IcePick — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 16:36:42 GMT

My notifications are duplicating.
I'm sending them via php osapi:

---snip
$osapi = new osapi(new osapiMySpaceProvider(), new osapiOAuth2Legged($appkey, $appsecret, $user_id));
$*** = $osapi->newBatch();

$dn = $rs1[0]['data']->displayName;

$notif = new osapiNotification();
$notif->setField('recipientIds',$msnotif);
$notif->setTemplateParameter('content',$dn.' blah!');
$notif->setTemplateParameter('button0_surface','canvas');
$notif->setTemplateParameter('button0_label',' button ');
$notif->setTemplateParameter('button0_params',urlencode(urlencode(urlencode('page.php'))));
$params = array('notification'=>$notif);
$***->add($osapi->notifications->create($params), 'send_notification');
$stupid = $***->execute();
---snip

They duplication 3-4 times. There are 2 other calls on the page for creating gifts, but nothing else duplicates.

OAuth data problem: 401 Invalid digital signature for base string

zhang — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 05:40:42 GMT

Hi, i want to send Notifications by REST, but i alway get the error:

{"statusCode":"401","statusDescription":"Invalid digital signature for base string: \"POST&amp;http%3A%2F%2Fapi.myspace.com%2Fv1%2Fapplications%2F113049%2Fnotifications&amp;oauth_consumer_key%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.myspace.com%252F400403500%26oauth_nonce%3Daff54b0a10d1eaf94d33d3a955f29a0a%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1248325976%26oauth_token%3D%26oauth_version%3D1.0\""}

it must be the problem of "OAuth", I used "OAuth" class from MySpaceID_SDK_for_PHP, i check out the code from http://myspaceid-php-sdk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ and i copy the OAuth.php and CryptUtil.php to my PHP lib.

Here is the url created by "OAuth":

http://api.myspace.com/v1/applications/113049/notifications?oauth_version=1.0&oauth_nonce=aff54b0a10d1eaf94d33d3a955f29a0a&oauth_timestamp=1248325976&oauth_consumer_key=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myspace.com%2F4xxxx500&oauth_token=&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_signature=8z2ls%2F%2Fw7%2FWhV27wGbxUeOEWBWI%3D

I used the official PHP API of myspace which required HTTP_Request class of PEAR( it is not official API now). I had read this topic http://developer.myspace.com/Community/forums/p/8227/41138.aspx#41138

Could some one tell me what the "OAuth" problem is? And where can i find the documentation and example code of MySpaceID_SDK_for_PHP ?

THANK YOU!

Open Social option v0.9 Missing

Steve — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:37:01 GMT

We are planning to upgrade our application to the v0.9, in an attempt to utilize the new app notifications feature. However, the option to select v0.9 is missing from the container settings (currently only shows options for 0.7 and 0.8). Can you help?

App to User Notifications not working in OpenSocial 0.8 & 0.9 container

Steve — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 19:00:35 GMT

Using the code provided at http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=OpenSocial_v0.9_Notifications we are unable to send nofication to our exisiting app users. The only way we can utilize app notifications, using this code, is if we send a notification to our own account - that does go through. We have also tried sending using the Opensocial 0.8 container API. Are you aware of any issues with app notifications using either of these?

Tips for More Effective Notifications

my␣ CodeStorm — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 21:12:48 GMT

Hopefully, most of you are taking advantage of our App Notifications feature. Anecdotally we hear that app notifications contribute to over 20% of traffic for games on MySpace, so if you’re not using this viral channel you’re missing out! Are your notifications driving as much user engagement as you had hoped?

Check out our new wiki document, App Notifications Best Practices for some tips on making the most of notifications.

Some ideas include:

Always have the notification add some value for the player in your game. Reward the user in some way, such as giving out an item for free for responding to the notification.

Or, show them something personalized from their progress in the game that would draw the user’s interest and encourage a visit to the game.

Avoid sending generic notifications that have no more value than an advertisement.

sending notification

Senthil — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 07:09:20 GMT

Hi,

Currently am developing the contact import module from myspace. For this, we have implemented opensocial. While sending the message using opensocial, it throws an error REST END POINT API is temporarily disabled.

Please let me know your suggestion ASAP.

REST based app notifications problem

Tatung — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:04:41 GMT

Our application successfully sends app to user notifications until today. Today we still get the "posted" response so it looks like everything is fine but the notification doesnt show up in the user's notification box. It will show only occassionally. Looks like MySpace is doing something to cut down on "spam"? Is this correct and what rules are being used?

Register notifications receiver

Boris — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:06:55 GMT

Bug: Links from notifications are maleformed

Smart — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:02:52 GMT

I'm creating a notification with template params "button0_surface, button0_label, button0_params". Button0_params is a json encoded set of params to direct users to a specific experience which matches the notification.

Unfortunately, it appears that the actual link that the user gets sent to when clicking the button is maleformed. I get:

http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=104682&appParams={&canvas_source=appnotification

But the template params I used was:

'templateParams'    => array(
                'button0_surface'    => 'canvas',
                'button0_label'        => _('Check it out'),
                'button0_params'    => json_encode(array(
                    'z_page'    => 'inbox',
                    'from'        => 'flirt-self-notification'
                ))
            )

It looks like our button params are stripped out, and replaced with maleformed json.

inconsistency when exceeding notification content size limit

Caca — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:26:59 GMT

This isn't major, but I've noticed that when creating a notification that exceeds the 150 character content limit, the REST endpoint returns a successful status code and a success response {"postnotificationstatus":"posted"}, but never actually delivers the notification. Would be great if it instead returned a failure status code to let developers know their params are causing things to bomb.

I haven't checked what the behavior is when the content limit is exceeded through the opensocial container.

Thanks,

Problem sending notifications through java sdk

Chaitu — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:04:17 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to use 'MySpaceID SDK for Java' for accessing the myspace data.
I am having problems with sending notifications using this SDK.

Its working fine and the notifications are displaying in the userprofile when
the notification is for an internal application, i mean when the user adds my
application.

But since my requirement is i need to send notification from an external application,
i have created and myspaceID application and other things like status update etc
are working fine.
The main problem is when i try to send notification for a user, i get the status
as
{"postnotificationstatus":"posted"}
but the notification has not been seen in the user notification tab after several
hours also.

For the reference the following is my sample code which i used:

SecurityContext scontext = new SecurityContext(exkey,exsecret);
RestV1 restObj = new RestV1(scontext);

HashMap tpMap = new HashMap();
tpMap.put("content","sample notification content");

Object postObj = restObj.sendNotification(<appid>, <userid>, tpMap, null);

Please suggest on this and quick response is appreciated.

Thanks for u r time in advance,
Chaitu

HTTP Error 403.1 - Forbidden: Execute access is denied

Stefano — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:05:25 GMT

I have an application in Development app status, because i'm still working on application.

When i send a notification (for test) server returns this message:

[createMessage] => osapiError Object
        (
            [errorCode:private] => 403
            [errorMessage:private] => HTTP Error 403.1 - Forbidden: Execute access is denied.

                                      Internet Information Services (IIS)
            [response] => 
        )

Why i have this error? can i send test notifications without publishing my app? The method people work correctly, so i don't believe that it's an auth error.

PS. I'm using OPENSOCIAL PHP API.

Thank you everyone in advance for the answers

appParams in Notification

vDream Lijen — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 08:19:09 GMT

Hi,

I am using the RESTful interface in order to send notifications to users. I am able to get the notifications working properly, but I would like to attach some appParams to the button in the notification. Is there any way to do that with the RESTful interface? I know that its possible with the OpenSocial container, but I wasnt able to find anything about doing this with the REST interface.

Here's the body of my POST request.

recipients=xxxxxx&templateParameters={"content":"hello world","button0_surface":"canvas","button0_label":"Hi There"}

And heres the documentation that I've read through:

http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=App_Notifications

http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=POST_v1_applications_applicationId_notifications

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Problems with Image in Notification

Andre Wussow — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 19:34:41 GMT

Hi all,

i've tried the tutorial on http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=App_Notifications

But i'm stucking on adding an individual image to my notification. If i use the profile image as described above, everythings works fine, but if i use an external URL, no notification is send.

// attach the picture
var mediaItemArray = [;
mediaItemArray.push(opensocial.newMediaItem("", MyOpenSpace.MediaItemHelper.PROFILE_PICTURE));

works fine. But

// attach the picture
var mediaItemArray = [;
mediaItemArray.push(opensocial.newMediaItem("", "http://www......./my.jpg"));

doesn't works. Also not if i specify the MIME-Type ( mediaItemArray.push(opensocial.newMediaItem(opensocial.MediaItem.Type.IMAGE, "http://www......./my.jpg")); ).

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

André

REST notification endpoint always returns 401, wrong base string

Smart — Fri, 22 May 2009 09:10:30 GMT

In my developer test app, I can't get notifications to work. I keep getting a 401 status. I've used your OAuth test tool, and everything there matches with what I am generating on my end.

I POST to:

http://api.myspace.com/v1/applications/104682/notifications?oauth_consumer_key=http%3A%2F%2Fmyspace.zoosk.web1dev.sfo2.zoosk.com%2Fapp%2Fapp.php&oauth_nonce=a303744597949fc186cc7ec56f2b77ad&oauth_signature=ko5WP1NxlVKCHiFRt8Sz9EcVDD0%3D&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1243019051&oauth_version=1.0

With Post-body:

recipients=193182272&templateParameters=%7B%22button0_surface%22%3A%22canvas%22%2C%22button0_label%22%3A%22Check%20it%20out%22%2C%22content%22%3A%22smarguy%20just%20sent%20you%20a%20message%20on%20Zoosk.%20smarguy%20lives%20in%20San%20Francisco%2CCalifornia.%22%7D&mediaItems=%7B%22http%3A%2F%2Fapi.myspace.com%2Fv1%2Fusers%2F193182272%22%7D

Here's what I'm getting in the notification API response:

{"statusCode":"401","statusDescription":"Invalid digital signature for base string: \"POST&http%3A%2F%2Fapi.myspace.com%2Fv1%2Fapplications%2F104682%2Fnotifications&oauth_consumer_key%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fmyspace.zoosk.web1dev.sfo2.zoosk.com%252Fapp%252Fapp.php%26oauth_nonce%3Da303744597949fc186cc7ec56f2b77ad%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1243019051%26oauth_version%3D1.0\""}

First off, that base string there is wrong. There are a bunch of variables in the post body that should be getting put into the base string when OAuth POST method is used.

What's going on here?

Timeout sending App Notification

myspace PPI — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:17:30 GMT

I'm trying to use the server-to-server app notification, but I keep getting a 500 read timeout.
I've verified that by base string and signature match what's generated by the OAuth testing tool, and I've bumped up the read timeout to 60 secs.

I'm use perl's Net::OAth, here's my code:

my $request = Net::OAuth->request('consumer')->new(
       'consumer_key'       => <MyKey>,
       'consumer_secret'   => <MySecret>,
       'request_url'       => 'http://api.myspace.com/v1/applications/<AppID>/notifications',
       'request_method'   => 'POST',
       'signature_method'   => 'HMAC-SHA1',
       'timestamp'        => time,
       'nonce'            => time.'-1',
        'version'           => '1.0',
       'extra_params'       => {
               'recipients'       => <TestUserID>,
               'templateParameters' => '{"content":"test1"}',
        },
   );
    $request->sign;

   my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
   $ua->timeout(60);
   my $res = $ua->request(POST $request->to_url);

Is there some kind of outage, or maybe some security setting I'm not aware of?
