Abstract
The present disclosure relates to enabling users to publishing product information associated with their previous purchases via a social network. In one example of the present disclosure, user data associated with a user having an account on a social network is obtained. Product information associated with an identified product from a product database is then obtained, the identified product having been previously purchased by the user and the identified product being selected by the user from a user device. An application programming interface of the social network is then invoked to publish the product information associated with the identified product to the account.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining, by the computer, user data associated with a user having an account on a social network;
- obtaining, by the computer, product information associated with an identified product from a product database, the identified product having been previously purchased by the user and the identified product being selected by the user from a user device;
- and
- invoking, by the computer, an application programming interface (API) of the social network to publish the product information associated with the identified product to the account.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing resource, cause the processing resource to perform the steps comprising:
- obtaining user data associated with a user having an account on a social network;
- enabling a user to select an identified product from a user device, the identified product having been previously purchased by the user;
- obtaining product information associated with the identified product;
- and
- invoking, in response to the selection of the identified product by the user, an API of the social network to publish the product information associated with the identified product to the account.
A computer-implemented system comprising:
- a controller;
- and
- a computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions configured to cause the controller to
- receive from a user device user data associated with a user having an account on a social network,
- receive from the user device a selection of an identified product, the identified product having been previously purchased by the user,
- obtain product information associated with the identified product from a product database, and
- invoke an API of the social network to publish the product information associated with the identified product to the account.
