Getting started with the Ruby Client Library

I don't understand where I'm supposed to copy opensocial.rb and opensocial/ from? Thanks!

Just tried using JRuby (trunk), install is a bit tricky because the json lib is actually replaced by the json-jruby gem on the Java platform, so I had to hack a gemspec by hand to get the opensocial gem installed (I a rubygem noob, so I did it the hugly way, nothing clever too share so far), but then I was able to run all the examples above (at least on my Orkut sandbox account, no Myspac account). Sounds really exciting guys, thank you for that lib.

I've added a mirror on github: http://github.com/revans/opensocial/tree/master

i am new to opensocial, i followed gifts sample, in gifts_contoller replaced my consumer key and secret key. while verify i always getting 'lack of authenticatiion'

Validation method.

def check_signature

key = params:oauth_consumer_key? unless validate(key, KEYSkey?:secret?)

render :text => '401 Unauthorized', :status => :unauthorized

end

end

validate method always return 'false'

any body knows whats the issue..

I think this can be a configuration problem but,

I registered gifts.xml on my Orkut sandbox, and received the keys. And I ran your sample code here, but this line generates an error.

r = OpenSocial??::FetchPersonRequest??.new(c)

When I run this, it says like this.

Net::HTTPFatalError: 500 "hasUserId failed"

from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2097:in `error!' from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2106:in `value' from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/opensocial-0.0.4/lib/opensocial/request.rb:135:in `check_for_http_error!' from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/opensocial-0.0.4/lib/opensocial/request.rb:115:in `dispatch' from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/opensocial-0.0.4/lib/opensocial/request.rb:69:in `send_request' from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/opensocial-0.0.4/lib/opensocial/person.rb:104:in `send' from (irb):52

Hmmm. I figured out that I need to use the 'ID of the user who installed my application" for 'requestor' variable. This ID is not Orkut ID which can be found on the User's home URL address, but the OpenSocial? ID.

You can get the real OpenSocial? ID with JS API, if you are working on the client side, and if your Application Container Server need to know that, you have to just wait till the user (who installed your application) connect to your server with this plugin installed. If that request is forwarded from the Orkut to your Server, you will get whole information of that requester (the user) including his/her OpenSocial? ID.

After that, is ~ just fun.

I think in new opensocial-0.0.4.gem, that sample doesn' work properly. I am getting 400 Error response from Orkut when I send the 'friend list' request.

Instead, this way is working.

# Profile data...
r = OpenSocial::FetchPersonRequest.new(c)
result = r.send.inspect

# Friend List
r = OpenSocial::FetchPeopleRequest.new(c)
result = r.send.inspect

so it seems latest plugin - 0.0.4 does NOT work with rails 2.3 can anyone confirm this?

there's a 0.0.2 branch in the repo that does, however.

strange.

Dear,

I tried to implement the 'sendMessage' function by myself, by generating the raw HTTP request message.

But it doesn't go well.. I tried that with following code (tested in Rails console) so could anyone kindly consider together and suggest any???

	##########################################################################
	# Here comes the Test Code...
	##########################################################################
	require 'opensocial'
	consumer_key = 'orkut.com:1111111111111111' # of course, your key
	consumer_secret = 'ffffffffffffffffff' # of course, your secret
	requestor = '222222222222' # of course, use proper OpenSocial ID number, not Orkut ID

	#///////////////////////////////////////
	# Create the connection
	#///////////////////////////////////////
	conection = OpenSocial::Connection.new(:consumer_key => consumer_key, :consumer_secret => consumer_secret, :xoauth_requestor_id => requestor)
	#///////////////////////////////////////
	# Get the Person Info, with Raw http message...
	# Refer to following URL (OpenSocial-Spec-v081 site) for the specification of the request message
	# http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v081/rpc-protocol
	# in Section (2.1 Single element request & response for the Person associated with principal in the OAuth token
	)
	#///////////////////////////////////////
	http = Net::HTTP.new('sandbox.orkut.com', 80)
	req = Net::HTTP::Get.new('/social/rest/people/@me/@self?xoauth_requestor_id=11111111111111&fields=id,dateOfBirth,name,emails,gender,state,postalCode,ethnicity,relationshipStatus,thumbnailUrl,displayName')
	conection.sign!(http, req)
	resp = http.get(req.path)
	#
	# The above code will generate exactly the same HTTP request message as
	# with following code.
	#
	# > req = OpenSocial::FetchPersonRequest.new(c)
	# > result = req.send.inspect
	#
	#
	# Or we can do the same thing using RPC calls.
	#
	#
	# Using RPC Call
	http = Net::HTTP.new('sandbox.orkut.com', 80)
	req = Net::HTTP::Get.new('/social/rpc?method=people.get&userId=@me&groupId=@self&xoauth_requestor_id=1111111111111111111')
	conection.sign!(http, req)
	resp = http.get(req.path)


	#///////////////////////////////////////
	# Now, I did following to Send a mail to my friend,
	# with the specification (mentioned in Section '8.4 Messaging' on OpenSocial-Spec-v081 site)
	# in my mind.
	#///////////////////////////////////////
	http = Net::HTTP.new('sandbox.orkut.com', 80)
	req = Net::HTTP::Get.new( '/social/rpc?method=messages.send&userId=@me&recipients=orkut.com:11111111111&title=test&body=tesstbody&type=EMAIL&xoauth_requestor_id=2222222222222222222')
	connection.sign!(http, req)
	resp = http.get(req.path)
	#
	# Then the Orkut says like this..
	#
	# > HTTP/1.1 200 OK..Date: Fri, 05 Jun 2009 04:18:19 GMT..Expires: Fri, 05 Jun 2009 04:18:19 GMT..Cache-Control: private, max
	# > -age=0..X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff..Content-Length: 94..Connection: close..Server: GFE/2.0..Content-Type: text/html.
	# > ...{"error":{"message":"notImplemented: The method messages.send is not implemented","code":501}}
	#
	# which seemed some what strange. Because they (orkut) say they have supported this 'sendMessage' function
	# from the year 2008.. Am I wrong?
	#
	# According to another document I found,
	# <http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v081/restful-protocol>
	# this sendMessage should use HTTP PUT.
	#
	# So I tried to send the HTTP Put or Post request, but some tries all failed because of
	# my bad skill.
	#

	#///////////////////////////////////////
	# So I suspected my mistake, and decided to refer to the original implementation of
	# 'FetchAppDataRequest' class, which is also using RPC call.
	#
	# Now I made this class.. somewhere in the opensocial library source code.
	# Nothing but generate 'mail message' form data.
	#///////////////////////////////////////
	class InviteRequest < Request
		SERVICE = 'messages'

		def initialize(connection = nil)
			super
		end

		def send(unescape = true)
			json = send_request(SERVICE, @guid, @selector, @pid, unescape)

			return parse_response(json['entry'])
		end

		def parse_rpc_response(response)
			return parse_response(response['data'])
		end

		def to_json(*a)
			value = {
			  'method' => SERVICE + 'send',
			  'params' => {
			    'recipients' => 'orkut.com:15724004553698970652', 
			    'title' => 'test title', 
			    'body' => 'tewfasdfasdf', 
			    'type' => 'MAIL'
			  },
			  'id' => @key
			}.to_json(*a)
		end

		private

		def parse_response(response)
			appdata = Collection.new
			response.each do |key, value|
			  data = AppData.new(key, value)
			  appdata[key] = data
			end
			return appdata
		end
	end
	#
	# And tested with the new class..
	# (restarted the rails console..)
	#
	require 'opensocial'
	consumer_key = 'orkut.com:1111111111111111' # of course, your key
	consumer_secret = 'ffffffffffffffffff' # of course, your secret
	requestor = '222222222222' # of course, use proper OpenSocial ID number, not Orkut ID
	conection = OpenSocial::Connection.new(:consumer_key => consumer_key, :consumer_secret => consumer_secret, :xoauth_requestor_id => requestor)
	req = OpenSocial::RpcRequest.new(conection)
	req.add(:data => OpenSocial::InviteRequest.new)
	puts req.send.inspect
	#
	# And then the Orkut says the following answer..
	# > HTTP/1.1 200 OK
	# > message":"badRequest: Invalid batch - Cannot use disallowed Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

So, I wonder whether Orkut really doesn't support 'sendMessage', or there is something wrong in my request???

Best regards.,,

Bruce.

so it seems latest plugin - 0.0.4 does NOT work with rails 2.3 can anyone confirm this?

just find ActionController?::AbstractRequest? in the source code and replace it with ActionController?::Request now opensocial-0.0.4 works with rails 2.3.

To work in both scenarios:

proxies(defined?(ActionController?::AbstractRequest?) ? ActionController?::AbstractRequest? : ActionController?::Request)

I must be missing something, since everybody else is getting further than I am. After installing the gem (0.0.4) on an Ubuntu Linux server, though that shouldn't make a difference, with Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 2.3.3, the MySpace? example gives me this:

./opensocial.rb:10: uninitialized constant OpenSocial? (NameError?)

from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require' from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require' from opensocial.rb:2

Yes, I added "require 'rubygems'," figuring that might resolve it, but no go.

It sounds like it didn't install correctly, but I found everything to make Brendan's suggested patch.

Might anybody have any thoughts on this?
