Google Wave Robots: Python Tutorial - Google Wave API - Google Code

Posted Sun, 11/08/2009 - 08:02 by Sam Rose

The easiest way to understand how extensions work in Wave is to build a Wave robot. Robots are applications that interact with a Wave through the Wave protocol (HTTP interface). Currently, we only support robots hosted with Google App Engine. In the future, we will support any client architecture that implements the Wave protocol.

an api for all

Posted Fri, 11/06/2009 - 10:13 by Richard Adler

A cry from the wilderness (or from Twitter anyway):

"either there is no API or there is one API for everything. different APIs = fail. also, there is no metadata, it's all data. #apiworkshop"

[apiworkshop = http://niche-canada.org/node/8024 = "On 16-17 October, the NiCHE Digital Infrastructure will be hosting a SSHRC-funded workshop on Application Programming Interfaces for the Digital Humanities." ]

delicious/help/api

Here is an idea:

We use existing delicious API.

Check out these URL's:

https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/suggest?&url=http://smartmobs.com

the above will let you employ the same tag recommender that is used inside of delicious anywhere

https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/add?&url=http://socialsynergyweb.org/cu...

The above will add (or should add) a post to delicious, and pass in tags, description, etc

API - Facebook Developers Wiki

The API uses a REST-like interface. This means that our Facebook method calls are made over the internet by sending HTTP GET or POST requests to the Facebook API REST server . Nearly any computer language can be used to communicate over HTTP with the REST server.

Hashtags, Twitter, and Identi.ca to Drupal

I am thinking that we could use hashtags to send certain posts, or discussions that are happening within twitter to Culturing.

Example: for hashtag #penmoney http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=%23openmoney

Or, we could also use @UserName example http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=%40paulbhartzog

Identi.ca (Laconica) is in between API's I believe. I will ask those folks if this is possible there.

API - MediaWiki

Posted Mon, 05/11/2009 - 02:32 by Sam Rose

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API

The goal of this API (Application Programming Interface) is to provide direct, high-level access to the data contained in the MediaWiki databases. Client programs can use the API to login, get data, and post changes. The API supports thin web-based JavaScript clients, such as Navigation popups or LiveRC, end-user applications (such as vandal fighter), and can be accessed by another web site (tool server's utilities).

All output is available in a wide range of formats.

Twitter API Wiki / Things Every Developer Should Know

8) A command line is all you need to use the Twitter API

If your system has curl (and it should!), you’ve already got a great way to poke around the Twitter API. Here are some examples:

* Get the public timeline in RSS format, unauthenticated: curl http://twitter.com/statuses/public_timeline.rss
* Get updates from users you follow in XML, authenticated: curl -u username:password http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml
* See just the headers for that last request: curl --head -u username:password http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml
