I just released the first public version of Services_Delicious, a PHP API for the REST based webservice of the social bookmarking site del.icio.us. If you've read my last blog entry on this topic, you already know, what it can do for you.
If you are not familiar with social bookmarking, here's an introduction for you:
Social bookmarking allows you to compile a list of categorized links that are accessible through a website by other users. This has the advantage that you can also browse the bookmarks of others and easily find interesting site. del.icio.us is a quite pouplar bookmarking site, which also offers a webservice to add new bookmarks or read your existing ones using HTTP and XML.
When using Services_Delicous you can easily manage your bookmarks using PHP:<?php
$dlc = &new Services_Delicious($username, $password);
$posts = $dlc->getRecentPosts('php', 10);
print_r($posts);
?>
Adding a new bookmark is not any harder: <?php
$dlc = &new Services_Delicious($username, $password);
$result = $dlc->addPost('http://pear.php.net', 'PHP Extension and Application Repository', 'The home of Services_Delicious', array('php', 'pear'));
if (PEAR::isError($result)) {
die($result->getMessage());
} else {
echo "Success";
}
?>
Services_Delicious provides a lot of more methods, API documentation should show up on the PEAR website quite soon and I already started writing the end-user documentation for the PEAR manual.
