Open Graph API OverviewWhat’s is Yammer’s Open Graph API?Open Graph is a light weight protocol that facilitates integrating data from different social apps into what we call the social graph.

Yammer’s Open Graph API Allows:Rich metadata around an object identified by a URL.

Discussion mirroring between an application and Yammer through comment feeds.

Aggregation of all conversations around an object in Yammer.

Examples of Uses for Yammer’s Open Graph APIIn a customer relationship management (CRM) app, a sales rep updates an opportunity’s probability of closing to a lower number.

In a scheduling app, an employee creates a lunch meeting.
