Advogato XML-RPC Interface
Advogato now has an XML-RPC
interface available at the URL http://www.advogato.org/XMLRPC.
To test it, try calling one of the test functions below. If you are
using Python, for example, try the
following:
>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> server = xmlrpclib.Server("http://www.advogato.org/XMLRPC")
>>> server.test.sumprod(5, 7)
It should return [12, 35].
Authentication
-
string cookie = authenticate(string user, string pass)
- Returns a cookie which is used as the first argument to all
methods requiring authentication.
Blog manipulation
-
int length = diary.len(string user)
- Return the number of entries in a blog.
-
string html = diary.get(string user, int index)
- Return a blog entry. The index is zero-based, so if
diary.len() returns 2 then valid indices are 0 and 1.
-
date created, date updated = diary.getDates(string user, int index)
- Return the creation and last updated dates of a blog entry. If
the entry has not been updated then the updated date will be the
same as the creation date.
-
diary.set(string cookie, int index, string html)
- Set a blog entry. Use -1 as the index to post a new entry,
although the value returned by diary.len() is also
acceptable.
Obtaining Certs
-
int exists = user.exists(string user)
- Returns zero if user does not exist, or one if user does exist.
-
string level = cert.get(string user)
- Returns the certification level of the requested user.
Test functions
-
string s, int i = test.guess()
- Guess a number
-
int result = test.square(int x)
- Square a number
-
int sum, int product = test.sumprod(int x, int y)
- Return the sum and product of a pair of numbers
-
int len = test.strlen(string s)
- Return the length of a string
-
string s = test.capitalize(string s)
- Capitalize a string
