SideWiki Comment Monitor API

[MursPlace]

Hey all,

It's been years since I last posted to these forums. Still looking good here.

I created an API a couple of weeks back that monitors my sites for SideWiki Comment posts/reads.

I've setup things so the system sends to my phone and email the title of the post and if their is any http: links in the content section.

My next phase of testing is to port it to .Net, Java and PHP.
The problem I see for myself is I don't have a .Net and PHP site to test nor do I know the latest and greatest methods of creating a GET API in .Net and PHP.

So if you're one that likes to experience new applications and know API's and how they work I'd like to hear from you.

Here's the information you'll need to start coding.
No promises that this will go commercial overnight but you never know.
Contact me for the API Key and site URL.

1. Page (Request . ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME"))
2. QueryString (full)
3. IP Optional

The line call is like this:
?ip=123.123.123.123 (Optional)
sh=www.mydomain13.com (Looks good but not required)
srp=default.asp (Required) Script_Name
sqs=Topic_1=132+8293829+whatever_2 (Required)
keyed=XYZ (Required)

That's all the call has to send.
The API will reply only with a status code and no return data for now.

Here is a snip of my code to get you on the same side of the road with me.
This is what I need in .Net, Java and PHP. Finish out the Response Call if you would like but the system really doesn't require anything more than what is seen as long as it works.

urlA = "http://www. 123xyz . com/myapi.asp"
urlB = "?ip="&ipAddress&"&sh="&Domain&"&srp="&Page&"&sqs= "&Query&"&keyed="&APIKey&""
urlA = urlA & urlB
Set xmlObj = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocumen t")
xmlObj.async = False
xmlObj.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True
xmlObj.Load(urlA)
If xmlObj.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then
Er= Er & "Ugh, service is temporarily unavailable <em>(" _
& xmlObj.parseError.reason&")</em><br />"&urlA&"<br />"
Call Sendto(Er)
End If
Set xmlList = xmlObj.getElementsByTagName("notrequired") (sets up a return optional)
Set xmlObj = Nothing


If you are interested drop me a line and we can setup the connection and try things out.

I have an online Demo setup but I'm not sure it will add to anything that I have posted here.

Follow up report:

I finished the Beta Testing of the SideWiki Comment Monitoring System from XtremeComputer.Com.

Test was completed on 7 domain sites mixed URL rewrite, static and dynamic pages.

Over 60,000 pages monitored and every SideWiki Comment was discovered without increasing server load.

The full test discussion is located at Xtreme Computer SideWiki Comment Monitor

Additional Threads during our testing is located at SideWiki Comments (by Google)

Our single page SideWiki Comment Checker is located at: Check for SideWiki Comments on any webpage online and return total comment count with Comment Reader API.

Our Demo of how you can embed SideWiki Comments into your Website is located here: Hall of Fame! Special Voting on comments outside the SideWiki bar.

XtremeComputer.Com is creating other applications for WordPress, vB boards.
The API is very easy to work with and only requires a single call to gather information about your SideWiki Comments.

All notices are sent to your email inbox or mobile device for live monitoring.
We will be also setting the option of receiving a copy of the post sent to your email or mobile device.

If you missed out on our Beta Test register and send a note that you read this post on WPW and we'll get you setup for a test.
