API Fun

My old home page had a section called “recently heard/seen/read”. It was powered by a PHP class that I wrote. It retrieved data from the last.fm, flickr and del.icio.us web services, parsed it, and output it for display. The class also allowed the output to be cached for the lifetime of the data.

What can it do?

Last five last.fm tracks:

Caught by the River - Doves
The Sulphur Man - Doves
Last Broadcast - Doves
Pounding - Doves
Friday's Dust - Doves

Last three delicious links:

gridr buildrrr
The Art of Web ~ PHP: Sorting Arrays of Arrays
Copy Paste Character

The source isn’t available for this yet, and since I’m not using it anymore it may never see the light of day. But if I ever get chance to write it up properly…
