Advanced API v2

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 22:18:05 -0400

Version 2 of the Advanced API is finally nearing completion. We expect to make it public within the next week. Here are some of the highlights of the update:

Album, channel, and group methods

Set embed options for Plus users

Brand new, more reliable Upload API with support for segmented uploads

Improved documentation

Most of the changes won’t break your apps, but there are a couple that will:

You can no longer request individual portrait and thumbnail URLs, you’ll just request a list of available sizes (see this post).

The Upload API will now require approval. Any app that has uploaded a video will be automatically approved; all others must request access.

The Upload API has been significantly changed, and the process is much different.

The new PHP client library is a drop-in replacement, so you’ll only need to change some of the methods that you’re calling.

We’ll continue to provide access to v1 until October 31, at which point you’ll need to switch to v2.

More details soon.

Very nice HD video quality from the 5D Mark II. I’ve been thinking about what to do to avoid carrying both a nice camera and a nice camcorder. This might be the solution.

“Yes, it’s bothersome when my work is ripped off. I spend a lot of time crafting custom code, designing what I think are great layouts, illustrating or writing copy. And then some random person out there on the internet grabs my work and claims it as their own.”

“In addition, through Dapper you can generate more traffic and tap into new audiences if you decide to license your content using the “traffic back” license. Then, services that make use of your content will link back to you, generating valuable traffic. In the future, Dapper will allow you to monetize directly on your content. Get started now, set your license terms.”

“I’d like to point out that these solutions shouldn’t be seen as much as alternative to sIFR – no matter how eager they are to market themselves as such – but as alternative solutions for the real problem: reliable cross-browser font embedding. We’re merely trying to provide the best hack-that-shouldn’t-be-necessary.”
