This example demonstrates a minimal ActionScript 3 Flickr API client that retrieves geotagged photos and exposes their metadata for custom visualization. It uses the `URLLoader`, `URLRequest`, and `URLVariables` classes to make REST calls to `api.flickr.com/services/rest/`. The code chains two API calls—first `flickr.people.findByUsername` to resolve a user ID, then `flickr.photos.search` with `has_geo` and `extras` parameters to fetch photo titles and coordinates. A custom `getURL` method constructs image URLs from farm, server, ID, and secret fields, while the returned XML is parsed directly without additional libraries.

FLICKR API Example

This example visualizes Flickr photo search results for the query "David Bowie" by querying the Flickr API’s `flickr.photos.search` method with a supplied API key and authentication token. The XQuery code constructs a REST endpoint URL to fetch raw XML responses, which are then rendered as a network graph of matching photos. It uses the standard `fn:doc` function to retrieve the data, while the visualization layer relies on D3’s `forceSimulation` for layout and `d3.geoPath` for any geographic mapping, though the specific rendering logic is not shown. The result is a dynamic, data-driven exploration of Flickr’s public photo metadata.

Gist 77879

This example demonstrates a Flickr photo management system built with Ruby on Merb, using the Flickr API to fetch, validate, and update photo metadata. It shows a batch workflow that first retrieves photos by category tags, then verifies their existence and tags on Flickr, and finally updates stored attributes like title, description, and image sizes. The code relies on Flickr’s `flickr_photo` objects and the Merb ORM for database persistence, with tasks chained via Rake. The visualization highlights the procedural data-sync logic, emphasizing error handling and association management between photos and categories.

Ryan's quick Yahoo geocoder in as3

This example shows how to convert a free-form place name into latitude and longitude coordinates using the Yahoo Geocoding API. The MapUtil class defines a `geocode` method that sends a text query to Yahoo's MapsService endpoint and maps the returned XML response to a location object. It uses the `URLLoader` and `URLRequest` classes for asynchronous HTTP requests, and parses the response with the XML parser and Namespace handling. The resulting coordinates are passed to a callback function, enabling geocoding within a Flash-based mapping application.

fresh block

This example visualizes Flickr photo statistics by displaying horizontal bars that sort and filter based on a selected metric, animating bar widths as data updates. The code fetches data from Flickr’s API using `d3.json`, then uses D3 v4 scales (`d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.scaleOrdinal`) and transitions to smoothly resize bars and update the top axis. It filters out entries exceeding 20,000 in the chosen field and re-sorts descending, with bars colored via `d3.schemeCategory20`. The rendering uses SVG with animated enter, update, and exit patterns, while the axis transitions via `d3.axisTop`.

experimental Modest Maps provider for the Bing REST API

This example shows a custom Modest Maps provider that loads Bing Maps tile imagery through the Bing REST API in an ActionScript/Flex application. It fetches metadata from the API, including image URLs, subdomains, zoom limits, and copyright text, then constructs tile requests using the `getTileUrls` method. The provider supports Road, Aerial, and Hybrid map types by substituting `{subdomain}` and `{quadkey}` placeholders in the URL template, and it dispatches a completion event once metadata is ready.

three.js utils

This example showcases a collection of utility classes for building interactive Three.js applications. It includes an `ArrayPool` for efficient object management, a `Timer` class that tracks `deltaTime`, `elapsedTime`, and `fps`, and a `Random` number generator with a Park-Miller algorithm. An `OrbitControls` class extends Three.js's controls, persisting camera state to `localStorage` and loading it on initialization. The code also defines a `Vec2` vector class for 2D math operations. The rendering uses WebGL, leveraging Three.js, with utilities designed to manage camera manipulation, timing, and data structures.

DPLA Data

This example queries the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) API to fetch and display search results as a simple webpage. It shows a list of image thumbnails with titles, each linked to its source item. The code uses the XQuery `fetch:text` or `fn:json-doc` functions to retrieve JSON data from the DPLA API, then parses it with `json:parse` or direct JSON navigation. It constructs HTML `<li>` elements containing an `<img>` tag and anchor, filtering out results without a thumbnail or title.

Minimal Objective-C HTTP client for testing UTF8 decoding issues

This example demonstrates a minimal Objective-C HTTP client that requests a single tweet from Twitter’s API and tests whether the response body can be decoded as UTF-8, logging either the decoded tweet text or an error. The code uses the Cocoa and Foundation frameworks (`NSURL`, `NSMutableURLRequest`, `NSHTTPURLResponse`, `NSURLConnection`) to perform a synchronous GET request against a local server URL. It explicitly checks for an HTTP 200 status and then attempts to create an `NSString` from the response data using `NSUTF8StringEncoding`, outputting a success or failure message via `NSLog`. The embedded tweet ID and emoji reference indicate the purpose is to validate proper handling of multibyte characters.
