Hi Akash,
If you are receiving a bad response, check to make sure that you're calling
req.add correctly. req.add takes two parameters (the constructed request
object and the key id), not newFetchPersonRequest:
req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest(
opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.VIEWER), 'hashKey');
Also, are a number of other things incorrect. Here's a quick snippet of what
I think you're trying to do:
function requestViewerId(callback) {
var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest('VIEWER'), 'viewer');
req.send(callback);
}
requestViewerId(function(response) {
var viewer = response.get('viewer').getData();
var id = viewer.getId();
alert(id);
});
Hope this helps!
