MySpace delivers a set of new Developer Analytics APIs for monitoring the performance of applications that run on the social networking site.
MySpace has delivered a set of
Developer
Analytics APIs to allow developers to better monitor the performance of
their applications that run on MySpace.
In a blog post about the new APIs, Owyn Richen, development manager for the
mail platform at MySpace, said this set of APIs enables developers to acquire statistical
data about their applications, "to help you better understand how your
application is performing in the MySpace ecosystem."
Said Richen:
"This new API provides information about all sorts of
data points, including key metrics such as impressions, installs and
notification clicks. You'll also get access to valuable demographic
information, being able to get data segmented by user information such as age
range, gender, and geo-location, among other things."
Moreover, he said, MySpace has "built out a little sample application
to give examples of how to properly format a REST [Representational State
Transfer] request, and how to effectively transform the output to various
Google charts for charting the data. The application transforms the data into
annotated line graphs, spark graphs, bar graphs, pie charts and geo maps."
Richen concluded, "We're glad that we can begin providing developers
with direct access to the information they need to ensure their game or
application performs well on our platform."
