Install a widget by submitting a form

[Ilya Gerasimenko]

Hi. I am a front-end developer, working for ContentGain.com. I have been assigned a task to provide our TypePad-based blogger/publishers with an easy way to install our ContentGain widget on TypePad-powered blogs. I have found this form (used by someone else for the same purpose), which does exactly what we need:

<form method="post" action="https://www.typepad.com/t/app/weblog/design/widgets" id="widget_install">

<input type="hidden" name="service_key" value="52616e646f6d4956277035e77524db9a2d5491026342402a27f9da387d30dc2640075bee8a2fc3a2" />

<input type="hidden" name="service_name" value="..." />

<input type="hidden" name="service_url" value="..." />

<input type="hidden" name="long_name" value="..." />

<input type="hidden" name="short_name" value="..." />

<input type="hidden" name="content" value="{ our code goes here }" />

<input type="hidden" name="return_url" value="..." />

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Install Widget on TypePad" />

</form>

However, I can't seem to find neither references to this method anywhere in the TypePad documentation/Knowledge Base,nor any mention of how to obtain the legitimate service_key.

Any insight would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!
