Downloading comments [Feb. 8th, 2012|04:56 pm]
kypeli
Hi all,

In order to process blog content for some academic research, I would need to download the comments for an article. I can already download the articles (by scraping the lightweight version of the article), but I am not quite sure how to download comments. One problem being that some comments must be expanded by clicking on a link before they are visible.

Are there any solutions available on how to download comments for public blog posts?

Downloading all public articles from a blog [Jan. 28th, 2012|06:21 pm]

Hi all,

I am looking for a way (for academic research) to download all articles from a blog in XML/JSON format. Is this somehow possible? I know of the RSS feed mentioned on http://www.livejournal.com/bots/ but then I only get the most recent articles from a blog, not all of them.

I would also be interested in a way to get a specific article's content in XML/JSON format, if I know the direct URL to it. I haven't found a way to do this (other than, again, the RSS feed, but the article might not be listed in the feed as it shows only the recent articles from that blog).

I am new to LiveJournal so any help is highly appreciated :) Thanks!

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... )

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