MySpace Open Platform: MySpaceID
MySpaceID
Getting Started

MySpaceID provides a social layer that allows MySpace users to easily come into your site and get going by bringing their identity with them. You can now leverage the strengths of MySpace's massive platform to power compelling social functionality in your site. MySpaceID allows your site to lower the barrier-to-entry for new users and creates an easy way to build new social features on your site.

By allowing users to link their MySpace account with your site, users can:

  • Register on partner sites using their MySpace URL
  • Syndicate activities on MySpace to partner sites
  • Find MySpace friends on a partner site
  • Connect MySpace profile data to partner sites
  • Provide a dashboard that allows users to have a window into their life on MySpace
  • Publish activities from partner sites to MySpace (Coming Soon)

These social features benefit your site by:

  • Boosting your site's registration - users can register on your site using their MySpace URL
  • Activating social community on your site - users can publish their MySpace profile info to your site and find their MySpace friends there
  • Publishing activity from your site into MySpace - drive traffic back to your site
  • Publishing MySpace notifications to your site

This is done via our implementation of the OpenSocial REST APIs and our own REST APIs for enhanced capabilities. All of this functionality utilizes the OAuth protocol to provide delegated authentication, and we achieve single sign-on functionality through OpenID. MySpaceID embraces open standards and is built upon robust privacy controls.
