Experimenting with the del.icio.us API
The links you see in the sidebar of the home page of this Weblog are generated by a Python script which is executed nightly and collects any links I’ve posted to my del.icio.us account that have been tagged with an information technology-related keyword. del.icio.us permits this kind of keyword aggregation via a relatively new feature called "bundles." Unfortunately, there’s currently no way to get del.icio.us to show you all the most recent posts for a particular bundle. So I access the del.icio.us Web API via a delicious.py that I’ve modified to be able to work with these bundles, plus my own script:
(NOTE: MISSING CODE HERE) Inline code samples discontinued until I can fix the CSS for the HTML "pre" tag not to expand the window in I.E.).
As you can see from the comments (if not the code itself), it’s a little ugly right now, but it works. Looking forward to sharpening my Python skills by working with del.icio.us and other Web APIs.
