I just proposed a new package for inclusion in
PEAR:
Services_Delicious, a client for the REST-based
webservice offered by
del.icio.us. del.icio.us is a site for social bookmarking, which stores your bookmarks in a database that is accessible by others as well.
This is kinda like blogging, but without having to write all of this annoying text to describe what you are linking to.
The webservice allows you to search in your bookmarks (by selecting only bookmarks with a special tag), add new bookmarks and delete existing ones.
Using the PHP interface is quite easy:
<?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";
}
?>
The bookmarks can be browsed using your webbrowser or you may parse the RSS feed, like
planet-php.net is already doing.
Now I'm eager to get some feedback on this class before starting the call for votes.
