Hello everyone,

Where can I found documentation about the New Webservices API based on the Atom Publishing Protocol?

Thanks.

bye, Dirk

Geeklog's Web Services API implements the Atom Syndication Format and Publication protocols.

Atom Syndication Format is similar to RSS 2.0, except that it allows the payload type to be 'labeled', eg. identified as to type/format. This allows you to syndicate all types of media, including audio, video, as well as escaped HTML/XHTML/XML, and even binary data.

Why Atom, you might ask? This blog post started the whole thing.

Atom Publishing Protocol essentially exposes an external interface to allow content to be authored/published directly to the site. It utilizes HTTP and XML as a methodology to access, edit and post content to the site.

General Info: Atom Syndication and Publication Protocols

RFC4287: The Atom Syndication Format
RFC5023: The Atom Publication Protocol

A lot of really useful information can be found at: atomenabled.org. Note that there is a preponderance of readers/aggregators, but an example of a client implementation that utilizes AtomPub to publish content to an Atom-compatible website is Zoundry's Raven.

Note that Geeklog's implementation only works with PHP v5 or greater.

I made a search but forgot to look at the wiki.

Thanks Dirk and mst3kroqs
