MySpace API - Automate your Blog posts April 28
I have written a small API which allows you to add blog posts with a simple URL GET.
Update: It seems that sometime recently the MySpace pages for posting to your blog have changed, and so this API is now broken. I will fix it shortly when I have the time.
The format for usage is:
http://myspaceapi.com.99.seekdotnet.com/BlogPost.aspx?Subject=[Post Subject]&Body=[Post Body]&Email=[Your Myspace Email]&Password=[Your Myspace Password]
Eg:
http://myspaceapi.com.99.seekdotnet.com/BlogPost.aspx?Subject=This+is+a+test+of+the+API&Body=test+body&Email=info@google.com&Password=googlepw
Remember to HTML encode the [Post Subject] and [Post Body]
To try it out:
The code for this simple test page is:
<script type="text/javascript">
function SubmitBlog()
{
var sSubject = escape(document.getElementById('iSubject').value);
var sBody = escape(document.getElementById('iBody').value);
var sEmail = document.getElementById('iEmail').value;
var sPW = document.getElementById('iPassword').value;
window.location = "http://myspaceapi.com.99.seekdotnet.com/BlogPost.aspx?Subject=" + sSubject + "&Body=" + sBody + "&Email=" + sEmail + "&Password=" + sPW;
}
</script>
<table>
<tr><td>Post Subject</td><td><input type="text" id='iSubject'></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2>Post Body</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2><textarea id='iBody' rows=5 cols=31 width=100%></textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td>MySpace Email</td><td><input type="text" id='iEmail'></td></tr>
<tr><td>Myspace Password</td><td><input type="text" id='iPassword'></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td><input type=button value="Submit" onClick="SubmitBlog()"></td></tr>
</table>
No logs of requests are kept (I have no interest in stealing your password and becoming the most hated man on the internet). All the source code is in ASP.Net. If you would like a copy, send me an email.
At the moment, because all requests are handled via GET, the body posts must be reasonably small. If there is interest I will expand the API to allow POSTs so that the blog body can be larger.

Hey,
I am working on a MySpace API mostly just for logging in and finding the user’s friend id. Would you mind sending me the code for your cool page?
Thanks,
Paul

Nice, I’ve been looking for something like this, would you mind sending me the code? I’m exploring the possibility of a game using myspace.
Gath May 5
Hi John,
I’ve sent you the code. Got any examples of the game you are planning?
Cheers,
Gath
Gath May 5
John - I sent the files zipped up, but your email account bounced them back, saying ‘Illegal Attachment’. Do you have another email address?
john May 9
hi Gath, this comment should provide an alternate email. thanks for posting. I’m in the concept phase tring to figure out what can be done. I’m thinking it would be a basic arg (alternte realty game), where users clipped clues and could share them through their existing accounts.
Gath May 9
Hi John,
The email address is the same (gmail). I sent the file again, but had the same result as before. Anything other than gmail?

Hey I would love to take a look at the code also if you don’t mind sharing. I’m trying to make a php page on my band’s web site so that we can write blog posts from our site and also have them show up on MySpace. Looks really cool.

FYI - theres a php wordpress plugin that does this http://noumenon.roderickrussell.com/wordpress-to-myspace-auto-crossposting

Hey,
just wanted to know if you could hook me up with the API to get the login id of the users. If you have a bunch of examples in PHP (although I CAN convert it from asp), it’d help thanks/.

Hi, wud really appreciate if you can possibly send me the ASP.Net code for this page. i am a beginner to asp.net and want to hook up my code with myspace.com
Daryl Sep 1
Can you send me the code if you don’t mind? That’s pretty slick.
Kain Oct 7
Could you please send me the code to your API please?
Jon Oct 16
Why are you having people ask to have the source code emailed to them? What is the big secret? Why not just zip it up and put a link for download? Unless you want the hits to your site and don’t wish people to distribute it around the web, which is silly because anyone you email it to is going to eventually do it anyway.

Gath,
I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. My PHP skills are modest, at best, and it would be great if i could get a copy of this so I can see how it’s done.
In the end I would like readers of my site to be able to insert our podacst player into their “about me” section of their myspace page.
Facebook has an API. Why not myspace?
