Rapleaf 4 Thunderbird Installation.
by Daniel on Nov.19, 2008, under Rapleaf 4 Thunderbird
After installing rap4tb as per a usual plugin there are an extra couple of steps required for it to work.
Go to http://www.rapleaf.com/developer/api_access
- If you haven’t registered with them do so (its free and you get to control what people see about you through their service)
- Copy your API key and paste it into the Rap4TB options window.
- Click OK
If you don’t do this correctly then the plugin wont work. You will get a message in the status bar saying ‘API KEY NOT VALID’
Stiill having problems why not try the forums.

The URL for the API key is returning the following message:
“Oops! Sorry, we can’t seem to find that page.”
Did they move the page for the API key? I’ll dig around a little bit and see if I can find it.

It looks like RapLeaf updated their web site, I’ve tracked down the correct url and the link above now points to the correct location.

Arash,
Thank you for the link, I would disagree with most of the negative comments there are a little misguided. Rapleaf collate information about people that they have published to the world themselves, I personally have difficulty criticising someone for collecting publicly available information. Indeed it is one of the things I like most about rapleaf is that it makes people aware of what they reveal about themselves on social network sites.

I have installed the add on but i do not have a status bar or anything any where. the plugin is installed and i do have an api key that i have added to the plugin. I just do not know how to get the status bar so i can actually use the plugin
