I got bored one evening, so I hacked together the beginnings of an API library for latakoo Flight. Currently it’s available in three four tasty flavours – PHP, Python, Ruby and C# .NET / Mono.

The libraries are minimal but functional; they let you perform both anonymous and authenticated queries against the latakoo API endpoint, but I’ve only had time to add method wrappers for a few of api calls. Feel free to fork the project to help flesh these out!

Hopefully these libraries will make it easier to get the power of latakoo behind your project, and be sure to check out Latakoo to find out how to share video on the Internet.

Happy hacking!

Over on GitHub I have just open sourced a PHP web and web services framework which I’ve been making use of to build a lot of projects recently.

Initially, it was built for a single project but I’ve ended up using it for many other things, and I thought it might be useful to the Open Source community.

Features

  • Pluggable
  • Light weight
  • Sophisticated events system
  • Abstracted database layer
  • MVC architecture
  • Virtual pages
  • Object/Metadata based data model

Its designed to have much of its functionality carried in plugins, many of which I will release a little bit later just as soon I’ve had the time to tidy them up a bit!

Anywho, its available under the MIT licence and hopefully it’ll be useful to you!

Scratching even more itches, this on behalf of our lovely people using the latakoo service to host video on their blogs.

So here is a WordPress plugin that simplifies embedding latakoo video on your blog by adding a latakoo shortcode. Simply install it and you will be able to link to videos directly on your account without the need to cut and paste the embed codes.

Later, when I have time, I plan to add some other cool stuff to it.. but that may have to wait for now.

Please note that this is in no way an “official” plugin.
