Hi Prashant,

Thanks a lot for encouragement.
I followed the steps on
http://code.google.com/apis/orkut/docs/rest/developers_guide_protocol.html

My url was http://www.orkut.com/social/rest/people/userID/@self + "?" + all
oauth parameters

I have a few doubts:

1) For oauth_signature parameter, I encoded my shared secret using my
consumer key as key with HMAC-SHA1 algorithm. Is this correct way? Should I
use % encoding or base64 encoding to send this parameter.

2)  OAuth Playground <http://googlecodesamples.com/oauth_playground/> uses
oauth_token but it does not use oauth_signature. But orkut rest API
developer guide does not mention anything about oauth_token but just
mentions about oauth_signature. I assume, I *need not* to use oauth_token
for orkut rest APIs. Am I right?

3) What do you mean by correct scope for orkut. When I open the link
https://orkut.gmodules.com/social/rest , it opens my orkut home page (
http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Home), so do u mean, I need to use
www.orkut.co.in instead of www.orkut.com?

4) Orkut rest API developer guide says "Replace userID with the user ID of
any user who has installed your application". What is ment by installing
application here. Is it adding application (application xml) by going to
orkut site? But my actual application will be an executable running on
device which will be installed with sisx or setup file. I created xml just
for authentication purpose (to get consumer key and shared secret), but I do
not want my user to worry about any xml/gadget app. How to achieve this? Is
this possible at all?

Thanks & Regards,
Devendra
