Google Friend Connect API Available in Labs

Google Friend Connect API is now available to developers. It lets a site owner instantly awaken and strengthen the community that visits their web site.

As a developer, the Labs release of our API lets you:

  • Use JavaScript APIs to integrate social flows and data directly within your page’s markup, via the OpenSocial standard specification.
  • Use REST APIs to integrate your existing login systems, registered users, and your existing data with new social data and activities. These APIs are also part of the OpenSocial standard.

In addition, we have used the APIs to build open source plugin samples that integrate into popular commenting and content systems including WordPress, Drupal, and phpBB.
