Ringside has the same API as Facebook. This means you could use the Facebook API libraries and simply change the URL of the REST server.

However, Ringside has additional API methods that aren't available via the Facebook libraries. For this reason, the Ringside community maintains their own [client libraries]. Use the following libraries instead of the Facebook libraries if you want to utilize Ringside's full API.

1. Setup Ringside API Clients
   • PHP Client
   • Ruby on Rails (Facebooker Adapter) Client
   • Java Client
   • Python Client
2. Configure Facebook's Developer App
   • If you want to access your app in Facebook, you must point it to your Ringside Social App Server
     • Set the callback URL to http://your_ringside_social_app_server.com/trust.php/facebook/canvas_path

Some helpful screenshots

The screenshots show how the "developer app" functionality in the Ringside Social App Server was modeled off of Facebook. The screenshots also show what callback URLs to use in Facebook if you are hosting your application on a Ringside Social App Server.
