OpenSocial: JavaScript Code of Flixster on MySpace - Start Hacking!

By Steve Poland   •   November 1, 2007

App developers should be able to start working with this code to understand the OpenSocial API’s and begin getting their apps ready. Download the various JS files here: opensocial.zip.

Take a glance at the MySpace source code of the profile page here: opensocial-myspace.txt.

    A quick look at the JavaScript code shows that the client-side JavaScript is passing the user ID to the backend without any authentication. This means that it’s trivial to mess up anybody’s Flixter profile.

    This seems to be a general issue with OpenSocial. Unlike Facebook, Opensocial seems to be missing user to app authentication. I wrote an article about it:

    I hope that the Facebook version of Flixster does take advantage of
    their authentication mechanism.
