Intro to Web Apis: Flickr/Tumblr/Facebook Intro to Web APIs: Flickr/Tumblr/Facebook Molly Des Jardin Japanese Studies Librarian What is an API? • “Application Programming Interface” • A way to interact with other applications • Standardized “interface” • You don’t need to know how it works behind the scenes, just how to make it work for your application • UI (user interface) for computers, like a GUI for humans Examples of APIs • Web Services • Programming Languages – Flickr • Java (used by Android) – Tumblr – Twitter – Facebook • Operating Systems – Photobucket • Windows – Google • OS X and iOS (Cocoa) – Yahoo! Web APIs/Web Services • A way to access the databases running various websites • Build a complex URL and type it into your browser, or run from a program/script • Returns data from the database usually in XML or JSON format • May require an API key or OAuth key • Examples today: Flickr, Tumblr, Facebook OAuth • What is OAuth? – A way to log you in and authenticate your account without your giving away your actual password – Ex: How you register for other websites using your Facebook or Google login API Keys • What is an API key? – API keys are used to track and control how the API is being used – Identifies who is calling the API, unique identifier AND secret token – Has a set of access rights • Can let you log in to post to your account, etc. • Not all APIs require keys Flickr Web API • Requires API key (freely apply on website) • Some functions require Flickr authentication (user login) • Extensive documentation • App Garden • You can try it out online! https://www.flickr.com/services/api/ Components: https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method= • flickr.groups.members.getList (the method) • & (goes between arguments) • api_key= (your API key) • group_id= (the group’s ID number) • format=json (format of data returned is JSON) Tumblr Web API • Needs OAuth key to get API key • Returns data in JSON format • Start your URL with http://api.tumblr.com/v2/ • Then attach your methods and arguments Getting Photo Posts Tumblr API Console Test out your calls and see live examples of using official clients with the API console: http://api.tumblr.com/console Register With Tumblr Facebook Graph API • What can you do? Just about everything. • Plugins and app connections: – Use like button on other websites – Post Facebook comments on news sites and blogs – Share to your Facebook feed from another website – Access a page’s events – Use your Facebook photos and info on other apps • This is how Tinder works – Update your Facebook feed from other apps • This is how Instagram and Twitter can post to your feed https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ Using Clients • You can also use many APIs via various programming languages • Use it directly in the language instead of calling a URL; simpler and more readable • Ex: Python, Java, Ruby, PHP • Can make it easier to write an application • Often not developed by the website Tumblr’s Python Client Tumblr’s Python Client Try It Out! • Create a username for Tumblr and/or Flickr • Get an OAuth key for Tumblr or a Facebook user access token • Get API keys for Tumblr and/or Flickr • Try some sample commands in the Tumblr console, Facebook Graph Explorer, or Flickr • Flickr doesn’t require any keys or tokens • Build a URL and see what you get back Try It Out! https://www.flickr.com/services/api/ https://developers.facebook.com/ tools/explorer/ https://api.tumblr.com/console.

  • The Dynamic Features of Delicious, Flickr and Youtub

[email protected] [email protected] Abstract – This article investigates the dynamic features of social tagging vocabularies in Delicious, Flickr and YouTube from 2003 to 2008. Three algorithms are designed to study the macro and micro tag growth as well as dynamics of taggers’ activities respectively. Moreover, we propose a Tagger Tag Resource LDA (TTR-LDA) model to explore the evolution of topics emerging from those social vocabularies. Our results show that (1) at the macro level, tag growth in all the three tagging systems obeys power-law distribution with exponents lower than one; at the micro level, the tag growth of popular resources in all three tagging systems follows a similar power-law distribution; (2) the exponents of tag growth vary in different evolving stages of resources; (3) the growth of number of taggers associated with different popular resources presents a feature of convergence over time; (4) the active level of taggers has a positive correlation with the macro-tag growth of different tagging systems; and (5) some topics evolve into several sub-topics over time, while others experience relatively stable stages in which their contents do not change much, and certain groups of taggers continue their interests in them.

  • Analysis of Flickr, Snapchat, and Twitter Use for the Modeling of Visitor Activity in Florida State Parks
    Analysis of Flickr, Snapchat, and Twitter use for the modeling of visitor activity in Florida State Parks Hartwig Hochmair Levente Juhász University of Florida Florida International University 3205 College Ave 11200 SW 8th Street Davie, FL, USA Miami, FL, USA [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Spatio-temporal information attached to social media posts allows analysts to study human activity and travel behavior. This study analyzes contribution patterns to the Flickr, Snapchat, and Twitter platforms in over 100 state parks in Central and Northern Florida. The first part of the study correlates monthly visitor count data with the number of Flickr images, snaps, or tweets, contributed within the park areas. It provides insight into the suitability of these different social media platforms to be used as a proxy for the prediction of visitor numbers in state parks. The second part of the study analyzes the spatial distribution of social media contributions within state parks relative to different types of points of interest that are present in a state park. It examines and compares the location preferences between users from the three different platforms and therefore can draw a picture about the topical focus of each platform. Keywords: social media, Flickr, Twitter, Snapchat, points of interest. 1 Introduction 1. It computes the Pearson correlation between state park visitor numbers and the number of Flickr images, snaps, Data from social media and photo sharing Websites, and geo-tagged tweets posted in these parks. including Twitter, Foursquare Swarm, Flickr, and Panoramio, 2.

  • Flickr Is Owned by Yahoo, So If
    HOW TO SET UP YOUR FLICKR ACCOUNT Go to www.flickr.com and click the “Sign up” button. Note: Flickr is owned by Yahoo, so if you already have a Yahoo account for any other service, you can just sign in with your old username and password on this page, and skip down to the ACCOUNT SETTINGS section of this document. The next page asks for your first and last name, and then asks you to create a Yahoo username. This can be anything you wish and Yahoo will tell you if the name you choose is already taken. (Later you’ll be creating a screen name that will show up on your Flickr page) Then create a password. The next box asks for a mobile number. If you don’t have a cell phone, use your home phone number. Yahoo will be either texting you or calling you with a verification code, so be sure to have your cell phone on, or be able to answer a phone call to your land line. Now complete the page by adding your birthdate and gender. The recovery number is optional, but is a good idea in case you loose your login information. Make sure you have your username and password written down some place safe. Click CREATE ACCOUNT The next page is where they will do the phone number verification. If you can receive text messages, have it send via SMS. Otherwise, choose the phone call option. Wait for the phone call or text message to come and record the verification code they give you in the box.
