However web services all have different architectures (SOAP, XML-RPC, REST, etc) and authentication schemes (HTTP-Basic, OAuth, etc) which makes them a pain to include in your Drupal site.</p> <p>Yahoo! offers a service called YQL which allows you to access lots of web services or even scrape web pages using a syntax like SQL. This makes it really easy to access web data and include it in your Drupal site.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-bio-booklet"> <div class="field-label">Speaker bio:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> My name is Tom Hughes-Croucher. I&#039;ve been mucking about with CMSs since the early 2000s when I helped shape the UI of Plone. When I started working at Yahoo! I got interested in PHP. Since then I&#039;ve worked with a variety of PHP based content management systems, including Drupal. </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://paris2009.drupalcon.org/session/including-any-web-service-drupal-using-yql" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://paris2009.drupalcon.org/session/including-any-web-service-drupal-using-yql#comments webservices yql Thu, 09 Jul 2009 07:23:54 +0000 sh1mmer 1279 at http://paris2009.drupalcon.org
