All developers are welcome to test OpenSocial on hi5. To access our beta server you will need to create a hi5 account and then join the hi5 platform development

group.
  1. Visit http://sandbox.hi5.com/
  2. Log in with your hi5 account
  3. Click on the 'My Profile' link
  4. On your profile page click on 'Applications'
You will now be in the hi5 Application Gallery. There are a few sample applications and some google gadgets. This page also allows you to add any application -- just paste the URL of your OpenSocial xml file into the provided form.

What Works

Only basic functionality works at the moment. You can get profile data for viewer/owner and friends lists of the same. Currently this is restricted to only retrieving publicly available information. We are working on a comprehensive solution to validating application requests and auto-registering API keys on the fly.

Most of the basic Google Gadget functionality works. Our proxy injects the correct JavaScript into your gadget and passes it off to gmodules.com for further processing.

Our container supports both html (iframe) and html-inline gadgets.

You can add gadgets to your profile page or your home page. Canvas pages are available by clicking on the title of the application in either of these pages.
