Introducing my Open Source Projects Service: Grab Your Project Details From GitHub or Google Code
Say hello to the newest member of my service family; the Open Source Project Service. This service lets me (and you too my friends) grab our project details from either Google Code, or GitHub.
How it works
If you have a project on GitHub or Google Code, you can retrieve your project details.
Single project host retrieval URI:
http://adam.kahtava.com/services/open-source/projects/{project-host}.{xml|json}?user={username}
Multiple project host retrieval URI:
http://adam.kahtava.com/services/open-source/projects.{xml|json}?project-host:username={project-host1:username1,project-host2:username2}
Example, requesting projects from Google Code in XML format:
Request: http://adam.kahtava.com/services/open-source/projects/googlecode.xml?user=adam.kahtava.com
Response:
-
<Projects xmlns="http://adam.kahtava.com/services/open-source" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
-
<Project>
-
<Description>The site source in use on Adam.Kahtava.com / AdamDotCom.com (http://adam.kahtava.com/)</Description>

Example, requesting projects from GitHub in JSON format:
Request: http://adam.kahtava.com/services/open-source/projects/github.json?user=adamdotcom
Response:
-
