A comment on the problem "API broken with the new release?" in Socialcast:

I just sent an email to support with more details. After a little poking around it looks like the API is returning invalid JSON. – Josh Fraser, on October 06, 2009 22:54

API broken with the new release?

Our API integration seemed to break right around the time that you pushed out the new release. Any changes I should know about as I start trouble-shooting?

A comment on the idea "Filters for the API" in Socialcast:

Perfect! Thanks. – Josh Fraser, on August 28, 2009 18:25

Filters for the API

I love the API, but it would be great if you could add filters to let me fetch only new messages since a given timestamp. We use socialcast a lot and so our feed takes a long time to load even if I just want to see the last 24 hours worth of data.

Liking my own messages

I want to use the API to include all liked messages from the day in our nightly metrics email that goes out to our investors, mentors, etc.

The problem is I can't like my own messages which means I can't post something with the purpose of getting it in our nightly email. Why can't I like my own posts? After all, I usually like the stuff I write the most. :)

I'm a big fan of your product & am stoked to try out the API.

The error message you are getting is regarding a function called simplexml_load_file(). Apparently this function relies on allow_url_fopen() which is blocked by your host.

What you need to do is use a standard curl to fetch the file and then use simplexml_load_string() to parse it. This will get you around using the function that is blocked by your host.

Basically you need to find the line that says:

$comments = simplexml_load_file($comments_url);

and change it to:

$comments_str = simple_curl($comments_url);
$comments = simplexml_load_string($comments_str);

That should do it. If not, let me know and I'll help you the best I can.

the -all is a hard fail, which basically tells any email client to reject any email that doesn't come from Google. You can change that to ~all to tell email clients to be a little less harsh. The better solution is to just include you IP address in the SPF record:

v=spf1 a mx ip4:X.X.X.X include:aspmx.googlemail.com -all

It's that easy!
