Re: [Pharo-users] Ideas of web services that I could script in a couple of lines?

[Hernán Morales Durand]

Hi Stef,

Here are some examples:

Get world capitals:

((NeoJSONReader fromString: (
    ZnEasy
        get: 'http://api.geonames.org/countryInfoJSON'
        username: 'demo'
        password: '') contents) at: #geonames) collect: [ : d | d at:
#capital ]

Get poster of The Terminator movie:

(ZnEasy getJpeg: ((NeoJSONReader fromString:
    (ZnClient new
        url: 'http://www.omdbapi.com/';
        queryAt: 't' put: 'The Terminator';
        get;
        contents)) at: #Poster)) inspect

Another one to WorldCat but this needs an API key (I cannot test it now)

(ZnClient new
    url: 'http://worldcat.org/webservices/kb/rest/collections';
    addPathSegment: 'search';
    queryAt: 'q' put: 'Plato';
    queryAt: 'wskey' put: '...';
    get;
    contents)) inspect

This is another wrapper for language detection (if you want to show a
simple api wrapper)
