I got bored one evening, so I hacked together the beginnings of an API library for latakoo Flight. Currently it’s available in three four tasty flavours – PHP, Python, Ruby and C# .NET / Mono.

The libraries are minimal but functional; they let you perform both anonymous and authenticated queries against the latakoo API endpoint, but I’ve only had time to add method wrappers for a few of api calls. Feel free to fork the project to help flesh these out!

Hopefully these libraries will make it easier to get the power of latakoo behind your project, and be sure to check out Latakoo to find out how to share video on the Internet.

Happy hacking!

Over on GitHub I have just open sourced a PHP web and web services framework which I’ve been making use of to build a lot of projects recently.

Initially, it was built for a single project but I’ve ended up using it for many other things, and I thought it might be useful to the Open Source community.

Features

  • Pluggable
  • Light weight
  • Sophisticated events system
  • Abstracted database layer
  • MVC architecture
  • Virtual pages
  • Object/Metadata based data model

Its designed to have much of its functionality carried in plugins, many of which I will release a little bit later just as soon I’ve had the time to tidy them up a bit!

Anywho, its available under the MIT licence and hopefully it’ll be useful to you!

Another itch scratched, I would like to introduce a really simple Open Graph plugin for WordPress.

This plugin adds open graph headers to posts and pages on a per post basis.

It has no native interface, instead it listens out for og:* headers as input in the Custom Fields section of WordPress’ edit page and adds the ones it recognises to the page header as meta tags.

Once installed you will be able to add the following tags to posts:

  • og:title (defaults to page title)
  • og:type (defaults to “article”)
  • og:image (URL, no default)
  • og:url is also used, but this is automatically filled in

I wrote this in about an hour so it isn’t all that fancy, and was designed to solve a specific problem for me. Hopefully it’ll be useful to someone else out there.

Feel free to leave comments and send in any patches!
