OpenSocial, Facebook Platform and other APIs for Java console application -


i try use opensocial (or other api) small project. want create small console application gather data several sites (e.g., facebook, linkedin, xing, myspace...) , calculate things. i've noticed in tutorials opensocial used mobile applications, apps inside social networks etc., haven't seen anywhere used console application. possible? can create simple java console application gather , process data social networks? know tutorial me out it? biggest problem have authentication, since (if understood well) apis request forward user original (e.g., linkedin) site login grant permission use data application. can somehow login credentials using console application?

thanks,

ivan

yes, can access various data apis stand alone java application. standard/protocol you're looking oauth, not opensocial.

you have give users way grant access social network account. (web based applications redirect them social network site, in turn redirect them application). oauth has out-of-band (oob) mode non-web based consumers.

i've used scribe in past access linkedin api.
