Kailash Nadh has published an API library in PHP for Technorati named DuckSoup.
The library supports all the Technorati APIs namely:
- CosmosQuery
- SearchQueryGetInfoQuery
- OutboundQuery
- BlogInfoQuery
- TagQuery
- TopTags
- AttentionQuery
- KeyInfo
It produces data in organized trees e.g.:
TopTagsQuery
Parameters passed
limit => 5
Resultant array
Array
(
[result] => Array
(
[limit] => 5
)
[item] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[tag] => Music
[posts] => 198098
)
[1] => Array
(
[tag] => ???
[posts] => 186513
)
[2] => Array
(
[tag] => News
[posts] => 157867

[tag] => ??
[posts] => 138482
)
[4] => Array
(
[tag] => Entertainment
[posts] => 126152
)
)
)
What I like about the library is that it is very nicely documented and very easy to use. It has some interesting sample code for you to try out as well:
- Who vs Who
A simple code snippet utilizing Technorati API to find Who vs Who wins. The one with the most posts’s references is chosen the winner - Tagwars
Compare two tags and see which tag’s more popular. The winner is decided based on the number of posts+blogs referencing it
You need to signup for the Technorati developer program and get an API Key to use the library.
