This is a stand-in, proxy PortableContacts server for sites that don't implement PortableContacts themselves. It currently has implementations for Facebook and Twitter, served at these endpoints: http://facebook-poco.appspot.com/ http://twitter-poco.appspot.com/ Feel free to add more! Background on PortableContacts: http://portablecontacts.net/ http://wiki.portablecontacts.net/ Test client and validator: http://www.plaxo.com/pdata/testClient Twitter and Facebook support OAuth, which you'll need to use for users who don't make their data public. If you obtain an OAuth access token from Twitter or Facebook and include it in a request to this provider, it will be used to sign and authorize the underlying requests to those providers. See the demos on https://facebook-poco.appspot.com/ and https://twitter-poco.appspot.com/ for examples. I wish there was a Python server library for any of the components here, e.g. XRD/XRDS-Simple! I only found client libraries though: http://mrtopf.de/blog/data-portability/announcing-pydataportability-01-technical/ https://github.com/gwachob/pydiscovery To use this in a PortableContacts client, you'll need to hard-code exceptions for the facebook.com and twitter.com hosts and redirect PortableContacts HTTP requests to the corresponding endpoint above. Note the app.yaml.* files, one for each App Engine app id. To work on or deploy a specific app id, symlink app.yaml to its app.yaml.xxx file. Likewise, if you add a new site, you'll need to add a corresponding app.yaml.xxx file. The tests require the App Engine SDK and python-mox. Deploy commands: rm -f app.yaml && ln -s app.yaml.twitter app.yaml && \ ~/google_appengine/appcfg.py update . rm -f app.yaml && ln -s app.yaml.facebook app.yaml && \ ~/google_appengine/appcfg.py update .
