How do I start?

  1. Write your first app using the OpenSocial tutorial.
  2. Read about the Anatomy of an Orkut Application.

As a developer, you'll soon be able to create social applications for the millions of global Orkut users. Orkut now supports a developer sandbox where you can write apps using OpenSocial, a common set of APIs, HTML, and JavaScript designed to let developers easily build social applications.

At this time, the Orkut platform only supports applications written in accordance with version 0.7 of the OpenSocial API, but support for OpenSocial 0.8 is planned.
