Sorry, when I say the REST API I'm referring to the OpenSocial REST API. My plugin has a generator that bootstraps your app to support this API, but it will also work using your own OpenSocial REST API. Also I should emphasize that the container uses the Javascript API which only allows requesting friends and profile information from the containing social network, not an arbitrary one. You'll need to do something a bit more fancy with _IG_FetchContent() for that.
