Timeout [Jan. 25th, 2012|08:42 pm]

Hi,

Does anybody know what is the minimal allowed timeout between two xmlrpc requests to the LiveJournal server? Yes, I know, there is so called "Bot policy" (http://www.livejournal.com/bots/) that says: "do not connect more than five times per second.", but since LJ documentation is usually not up to date, I need some formal clarification on this, if possible.
Thanks.

Net::HTTP::Spore for multiple-service clients [Jan. 23rd, 2012|03:41 pm]

Been a while since we haven't had a discussion here that didn't revolve around "foo is broken!" or "how does bar work?" so I decided to throw this in for discussion:

Has anyone tried using the SPORE specification, Net::HTTP::Spore, or any of the other implementations (Ruby, Python, and PHP IIRC) to implement similar-but-not-identical clients for services based on LiveJournal or Dreamwidth? Any opinion of the modules themselves (if you've used them) or the spec and APIs (if you only read the docs) you'd like to share?

A list of posts from friends for a given day [Dec. 25th, 2011|08:15 pm]

Hi!

Is it possible to somehow get a list of posts from friends for a given day? Say, I want to get a list of posts from http://youngracoon.livejournal.com/friends/ written on Dec, 24. How would I do that? Any suggestion or a link to a proper chapter in documentation?

Thanks,
Rac

Alternative multipltform client for LiveJournal web-based service [Dec. 25th, 2011|12:05 am]

Oragir project implements an alternative multipltform client for LiveJournal web-based service. In contrast to other clients that allow reading and writing new entries in LiveJournal for a single user at a time, Oragir provides fast and easy way to "watch" and filter all newly added entries from all LiveJournal users at run time and store filtering results for future use. Being written in c++ with using Qt toolkit oragir performs well on any supported platforms such as Windows, Linux, Mac etc.

Oragir 0.1 (beta) for Windows is released: http://sourceforge.net/projects/oragir/files/latest/download. For the rest of platforms you can build it from the sources.
I will appreciate your feedback and suggestions.

Here are some screenshots... )

Hello,

Seems something happen with getchallenge.

My code, which worked about 3 years, now return false.
Does it changed something in interface?

Below my sources

Thank you


$request = xmlrpc_encode_request("LJ.XMLRPC.getchallenge", array());
$context = stream_context_create(array('http' => array(
'method' => "POST",
'header' => "Content-Type: text/xml",
'content' => $request
)));

$file = file_get_contents("http://www.livejournal.com/interface/xmlrpc", false, $context);

I've been seeing a lot of empty responses out of the XML-RPC interface over the last few days -- is anything going on?

syncitems: mode vs. selecttype [Nov. 29th, 2011|04:10 pm]

Another basic question, I imagine....

If my purpose is to fetch all the changed items for a journal, what's the point of using the syncitems mode to retrieve a list of those items? Wouldn't getevents with a selecttype of syncitems return the same thing whether or not the list had been requested first?

'journalid' and 'getevents' response [Nov. 24th, 2011|09:44 am]

phillip2637
[Tags|, , , ]

I'm attempting to write code that will retrieve the most recent few posts from someone's journal (using the flat interface), equivalent to what I'd see if I logged into my own account and then clicked on a link to their journal.

I got the impression from ljprotocol.pl and some comments here that it could be done by specifying a 'journalid' parameter in the request. If I use a request that correctly returns three of my own posts and add the 'journalid' to it, I get strange results. The return is not what I expect and is also not a normal error response. Instead the server is dumping a HTML page down the line with "Error 500!" / "Frank has been chewing on the wires" content.

Questions:
1) What form should the 'journalid' take? ...the username for the requested journal or something else?
2) If I am doing something wrong, why am I getting HTML instead of an error?
3) Is there a better approach to getting what I'm looking for?
