The MySpace Developer Platform supports the development of applications based on the OpenSocial model. OpenSocial provides a standard set of open source APIs that allow Developers to build applications that work with any OpenSocial-enabled Web site. These APIs enable social networking Web sites such as MySpace to share their social data across the Web.

Read Common Pitfalls for App Developers, a brief compilation of policy violations for which applications are often denied.

This page provides information to help new and experienced Developers build OpenSocial applications, with special emphasis on integrating MySpace data.

With MySpace OpenSocial APIs, Developers can:

  • Reach Users though a broader distribution network.
  • Engage more third party Developers and social application resources.

In the MySpace environment, OpenSocial sits between a Developer's code and the MySpace Developer Platform. Using JavaScript and HTML, a Developer can call into OpenSocial which in turn calls into the MySpace Developer Platform.

OpenSocial defines several basic social networking objects, as well as implementations that get and update those objects. MyOpenSpace maps OpenSocial networking objects to MySpace server-side API calls and extends these objects.
