Introduction

N.B.: The MySpace Developer Platform is currently in Sandbox, during this phase, the apps you create will be limited to a few installs (currently three). Apps will also not trigger activities updates and will not be able to directly communicate with end-users until launch. We are awaiting the official launch date.

Launch News

Myspace is an international site that offers email, a forum, communities, videos and weblog space.

The MySpace Developer Platform (MDP) allows developers to create applications that interact with MySpace members and their social data.

With MDP you will be able to create compelling new products that integrate directly into MySpace pages and get exposure to millions of people around the world.

First steps: Open Social on the MDP

What is The MySpace Developers platform?

The MySpace Developer Platform is a combination of services that provides third party application developers with hooks into MySpace's data and functionality.

What is Open Social?

OpenSocial is a JavaScript API (Application Programming Interface) built in collaboration with Google and several other social networking sites. OpenSocial sits between your code and the MySpace Developer Platform. You call into OpenSocial, and OpenSocial in turn calls into the MySpace Developer Platform.

How do OpenSocial and the MDP fit together?

OpenSocial and the MySpace Developer Platform are a series of JavaScript and server-side components that work together to provide you with a standard interface to write your apps against.

When you run your own app, you'll see that it's hosted in an IFrame. If you view the source around your code, you'll see a reference first to "opensocialreference.js", then to "MyOpenSpace.js". You should study these files carefully, for they contain the meat of the OpenSocial implementation, as well as MySpace's extensions on it.
