Spotlight APIs

Hi there,

I requested follow URL.(modify apykey=my_key_value for example)
http://spotlight.reuters.com/api/feed/us/channelarticles/newsOne/json?ap...
I could get a json format response. and "lang" attribute was "en".

-- DATA Sample --
handleReutersJson({
....
"items": [
{
....
"body": {
"type": "html",
"lang": "en",

-----------------

Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to search for articles and news feeds based on categories and topics returned in previous api calls?

Thanks

In case anyone finds it useful, I have written a brief post detailing how to automate requesting Spotlight data with python, parse the JSON object and persist the data in CouchDB.

Please tell how to upload videos using spotlite.As I have read the handbook and it says videos can be uploaded. But it is not working using the given channel names for video.

Thanks,

I'm looking for the best way to get captions for the images that are inside the news feeds.  I have tried cachign the images in the photo feed, but it seems like that rarely match the images that are appearing in the articles.  Could the caption be included with the image in the article feed, or maybe a web service could be created that we could use to get the caption for a specific image (or array of images to get all the image in an article at once)?  A simple REST service where we pass picture ids could handle this quite easily I would think.

Hi there,

which fetch frequency is tolerated ? I am currently in an experimental phase with this service and i wonder, how often may i fetch data before it's a violation of the terms and conditions ?

Is every five minutes all channel_news feeds with 10 items each acceptable ?

Thanks,

Ulrich

Thanks!

I am using the feeds page to create a feed string but regardless of what combination I use I get an error when I click "Go".

I read through the handbook and thought I ubderstood the process, what am I missing??

Thanks for any help you can provide,
