I've attached a patch which will add user/group management, fetch_entry,
fetch_url_feed and fetch_domain_feed to the python library.

Wouild it be too much to ask for Java API library?

Best regards,
Dmitriy.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try running the friendfeed.py as is.
2. If one of the entries has a title that is not ascii, then you get the
famous unicode error.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output is that you see the characters
properly encoded.

prompt> python friendfeed.py 
04/12/2008 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "friendfeed.py", line 303, in <module>
    _example()
  File "friendfeed.py", line 275, in _example
    print entry["published"].strftime("%m/%d/%Y"), entry["title"]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position
14-67: ordinal not in range(128)
prompt> 


One possible way to fix would be :
print unicode.encode(entry["title"], 'latin1')
instead of
print entry["title"]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.4 on a Mac with Python 2.5.2.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. http://friendfeed.com/api/feed/search?format=xml&num=30&start=0&q=bell


What is the expected output? 
I expect to see matches on the 'title' field.

What do you see instead?
It matches on link and user as well. So I see everything by user Clayton
Bell. Nothing personal, Clayton, but I'd rather see content containing 'bell'.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
API as of April 4th.

Please provide any additional information below.

if it is there please send me the code.
thanks in advance....

The default FriendFeed PHP library should contain a caching mechanism.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Do any search for a common term
2. no results are found after early morning of Apr 25th

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Online version April 26th or later

Please provide any additional information below.

Just try to get a user's public feeds, a null reference exception will occur. 

I have added a control to check whether the child element is sup_id or not
(line 435)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running the first python script in the documentation
2. Non-ascii characters produce the following:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 0-
3: character maps to <undefined>

3. Using simplejson

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output is the titles of the public feeds. I generally get a few 
and then the error.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Similar to this issue:

http://code.google.com/p/friendfeed-api/issues/detail?id=5

fetch_feed() method throws ValueError except when fetching this entry
(traceback attached):

http://friendfeed-api.com/v2/feed/safetyguy1656?start=6185&num=1&pretty=1&raw=1

disabling strict decoding 
(line 42 in friendfeed.py:
_parse_json = lambda s: simplejson.loads(s.decode("utf-8"), strict=False)
)
seems to solve the issue on this particular data. not sure if this
malformed data, or an escaping character bug on the api side or purely a
simplejson issue, but i thought it's worth mentioning.

this entry gives the same error
http://friendfeed-api.com/v2/feed/safetyguy1656?start=6222&num=1&pretty=1&raw=1

I have added code to the C# library to implement the /api/services API
call.  This includes the following modifications:

1.  FriendFeedClient.PublishLink: changed none to null so it will compile
2.  FriendFeedClient.ServiceList: added this method to retrieve the service
list
3.  FriendFeedClient.FetchHomeFeed(string): Changed the first parameter
from null to service so it passes the requested service properly
3.  FriendFeedClient.FetchHomeFeed(string, int): Changed the second
parameter from 0 to start so it passes the requested start position properly
4.  ServiceList: Added this class to support fetching the service list
5.  Entry.Entry: Changed Service constructor call that calls
Util.ChildElement from pulling the user data to pulling the service data

All updates have been tested with .NET 2.0 and IronPython

line 90:
        self.access_token = access_tokne

The python interface fails to post content with unicode characters in it
due to limitations of urllib.urlencode.

The attached patch works.

(Note that I've got this code living at
http://github.com/dustin/friendfeed-api so I can make changes to it as
subversion is not my friend)

This is more of a feature request.

The requirement: To be able to make API calls to get a listing of all
services available in FriendFeed (eg GoogleReader, Last.FM, etc...).

At the moment I have to go through the public feed and collect a decent
sample of data to get a listing of all services.

Key Benefit: Will allow us to be able to write apps that firstly get the
types of services available, and then make subsequent requests just on
specific services. 

To distinguish where you are posting from. Like for example 'posted from 
GitHub' , 'from 
bookmarklet' etc.

I am developing a website that requires authenticated access to the user feed.

I am using SCRIPT tags in my page to get access to the data, script tags
don't support Basic AUTH, so SCRIPT
src="http://MYUSERNAME:[email protected]/api/feed/home" will not work.

However you can in firefox preAuth the request via:

 link rel="prefetch"
href="http://MYUSERNAME:[email protected]/api/feed/home"

doing so allows subsequent script requests to be automatically
authenticated.  And it works in that data will be returned when I do the
following:

SCRIPT type="text/javascript" src="http://friendfeed.com/api/feed/home" 

However, when I use a callback as such:

SCRIPT type="text/javascript"
src="http://friendfeed.com/api/feed/home?callback=Search

The API will return a 403 forbidden.  I would suspect this to work correctly.

Regards,
Paul Kinlan.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
The Real-time (updates) feed doesn't work for me.
1. curl --basic --user trungly:dryad385pents
http://friendfeed.com/api/updates/home
2. curl --basic --user trungly:dryad385pents
http://friendfeed.com/api/updates/user/trungly/friends
3. etc..  
--> Gives generic errorCode "error"
4. The regular feed works fine for me:  curl --basic --user
trungly:dryad385pents http://friendfeed.com/api/feed/home
--> Gives full list of entries

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: JSON of updates entries
Observed: {"errorCode":"error"}


Please provide any additional information below.

According to the API, comments should be deleted with a "comment - required
- The FriendFeed UUID of the comment to delete. "

But can't find this UUID of the comment in <comment> tag.

Thx.

Using version 0.6 of the C# API downloaded today (June 03 2008).

Line 392 in friendfeed.cs initializes Entry.Service like this:

  Service = new Service(Util.ChildElement(element, "user"));

This is a bug. It should initialize using the "service" element, not the
"user" element.

So the correct code should be:

  Service = new Service(Util.ChildElement(element, "service"));

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I am calling http://chan.friendfeed.com/api/updates/home every few
minutes with authentication and saving and using the token each time.

2. I am calling from ruby, I have attached the file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect  the feed to only return entries from the authenticated user (in
this case mrjjwright).  I am instead and in error seeing entries every once
in a while from my friend's feeds.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac.

Please add a crossdomain.xml so we can use the api with flash!

I'm using FriendFeed's V2 API.  When I connect to friendfeed-api.com with
HTTPS, I observe an error with the SSL certificate.

  https://friendfeed-api.com/v2/feed/bret?pretty=1

The SSL cert uses *.friendfeed-api.com which doesn't match friendfeed-api.com

Are you planning to change the certificate?

The API Guidlines define a UI for the FriendFeed login/usage and suggest
that the user can use their nickname and e-mail interchangeably.

http://friendfeed.com/api/guidelines

However if I try to use an e-mail address instead of a nickname when
creating a FriendFeedClient and then call the FriendFeedClient.PublishLink
method I get a 401 WebException.

Is this the expected behaviour i.e. is the nickname the only valid thing to
use with the remote key?

This library requires a setup.py in its + an entry PyPI, so it can be 
installed by package managers like easy_install, pip and PyPM.

Would you like help in that?

Uniquely, internal classes are not seen from the web page code behind if 
they are used in the app_code folder on an asp.net web site (They would be 
fine in a Web Project however)

It might be worth just making them public - that would certainly suit the 
scenario of someone just wanting to drop it into a web site and start 
coding

The search API (http://friendfeed.com/api/feed/search) fails with
"sanitized" URIs--URIs where certain symbols have been translated into
codes, e.g., ":" to "%3A", "+" to "%2B". (One can get these translations
via Python's urllib.quote_plus().)

Example:

Compare the following results:
curl -u "username:remotekey"
"http://friendfeed.com/api/feed/search?q=from%3Amndoci%2Bcomment%3Anuin%2Blikes%
3A10"

vs.

curl -u "username:remotekey"
"http://friendfeed.com/api/feed/search?q=from:mndoci+comment:nuin+likes:10"

In the former, the users who posted and commented on the entries are
random; in the latter, we get the expected result of entries posted by user
'mndoci' and commented on by user 'nuin'.

In particular, it seems to be a lack of decoding the "+" symbol from "%2B", as

curl -u "username:remotekey"
"http://friendfeed.com/api/feed/search?q=from%3Amndoci+comment%3Anuin+likes%3A10
"

gives the expected result, too.

Best,
Chris

This is a feature request for services associated with a room to be
available from the room profile, similar to the way these are provided for
user profiles.

The PHP class reads

    // The query syntax is the same syntax as
    // http://friendfeed.com/advancedsearch

the URL in the comment should be
  http://friendfeed.com/search/advanced

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Just try to compile the C# library
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The library doesn't compile correctly, stating that on line 132, null is
undefined.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
API available as of 2008-07-11, compiling with .NET 2.0

Please provide any additional information below.
Change last parameter on line 132 that calls PublishLink from "none", to "null"
