YQL OpenSocial Client
Here is a YQL open data table that allows developers to use SQL-like
SELECT syntax on top of the OpenSocial REST people API.Note: This open data table only covers the people API and needs some
more work to be useful for developers. Also, it requires the HTTPS
protocol since private keys are being transmitted.Example query: http://tinyurl.com/qnfnzn (Uses the guid, ck, and cks
from the sample code in the opensocial php client)Source code for the opensocial.people open data table:
