I have a Django-based API to interact with social networks, and I would like to integrate with RenRen.

My main problem is not a programming one, but how to create an application for RenRen. I try to navigate the site http://app.renren.com/ using Google Translate to help, but I can't create an app.

I am always redirected to the page to input my information. I am wondering wether I need to input all my personal information and have it verified before I can create an app. On top of that, I am not of Chinese nationality, so I don't have an identity document that would be acceptable.

Can anybody with experience developing for RenRen shed some light on how to create an app?

Use this page instead: http://dev.renren.com/

app.renren.com displays existing third-party apps of renren.

And yes, you'll need a renren account to develop app that integrate with renren. After registering and logging in, use this page to add a new app to your account. http://app.renren.com/developers/app

I see. Thank you for the reply. The problem is, it seems that I need an account with Chinese nationality to develop, am I correct? Because they asked for a file upload of a document proving my identity, and there is no option on the site to register as a foreign person. Only as a Chinese person. Is this correct? – Vasco Patricio Mar 9 at 19:40
@VascoPatricio I just registered with a temp email address. The site didn't request me to upload anything. – Huang Tao Mar 11 at 4:45
