opensocial win32 compaitbility

Question

i am planning to develop an app in Python on win32 platform and was wondering if the opensocial api worked upon the win32 platform as well. to make things more clear, i need to use info from the opensocial api to conduct certain things in teh app.

i know i am a bit confused here as i have practicaly no knowledge of opensocial. can anyone direct me ?

Answer 1

Yes the general idea of an API is it uses a standard language like XML or JSON or whatever. You can easily find libraries that read/write those formats in most languages, no matter the platform. If you're lucky someone will have written a library for the specific API you need.

Which in this case, they have :) http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-python-client/

Hope that helps!
