Build a Personal.com sample app in Ruby, Node.js, Python or PHP

Personal.com gives users a way to securely connect and share with trusted people, apps and sites who need access to their information and important documents. They have created a new standard of information ownership: the data, notes and files you store in Personal belong to you. Even if you give someone else access, they are still yours – and you can stop access at any time.

This challenge is to develop a sample web application in Ruby, Node.js, Python or PHP that demonstrates use of the Personal.com API. The winning submission(s) will be used as the basis of future Personal.com CloudSpokes challenges!

Be sure to also check out the Personal.com Mobile sample app challenge!

DISCUSSION

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can I do this in Groovy, or do you only want one of the four specifically listed languages?

wcheung , Oct 07, 2012 at 12:09 PM reply

Groovy is okay, but the listed languages are preferred.

Thanks, same thing goes for your Family Data challenge? The listed langs are preferred?

wcheung , Oct 08, 2012 at 07:09 AM

Yes

When trying to fetch access token getting 403 Forbidden error? Any idea or help

I just send you an email. Also, you can always use the API Explorer at http://developer.personal.com/api_explorer to test calls.

I would like to request an extension on this challenge by a couple of days. Please let me know if that's feasible.

This challenge is reopened, also the time provided for this challenge is sufficient, I oppose for extension.

siddhesh619 , Oct 10, 2012 at 04:41 AM

I think the idea of reopening the challenge despite your submission was to solicit more submissions. Since Personal.com platform is new to developers, it would have been best to have multiple entries on this challenge (in different languages - Ruby, Node etc) from everybody's (CloudSpokes, Personal.com, developers) perspective. But I respect your objection and I leave it upto CloudSpokes moderators to take a call on this. Thanks!

i believe the challenge is running for almost 2 weeks. We had enough time to get it working. I don't think its sense extending it.

siddhesh619 , Oct 10, 2012 at 06:56 AM

Please can you extend the challenge for some more time. I had some issues loggin to personal.com using their api . Just got that sorted with there team.
