So, i want to retrieve an ID from one RFID card
this is where it gets tricky for me. I have the option of creating a facebook app, but as far as i can tell, facebook only let's you log if you enter your credentials, if you have cookies stored then an access token is requested.
I want people to put a card close to my rfid reader and that makes a like on something.
problem one: there is no cookies stored and people only use a card (no GUI anywhere), i could associate one account to an rfid UID and ask the user to give account details and then securely store them. I think it's agains't the facebook TOS...
problem two: depending on how the information is submitted to facebook it will change the language used here, tell me your opinion; if i can store the data, i could use Python Mechanize to submit the info to an API;
problem three: don't know much about rfid readers, need to read a bit more here, but seems there are some arduinos and chips doing the reading. What should be used here? C++, java or Python to get to the problem two?
What is your suggestion on dealing with this?
Thank you very much.
Regarding Question 3:
I assume that you meant 13MHz RFID (which is used in all modern systems, like passports, handys=NFC, ...)
The standard Softwareinterface for RFID-readers is PC/SC ( http://www.pcscworkgroup.com ). It is OS independent, provides bindings for any language and every manufacturer provides pcsc-drivers for his readers.
The Pythonbindings for PCSC are http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyCSC/0.3
