webservices

I work at a small community college in northeastern AZ. Our Drupal 6 site is about seven years old. We are waiting on D8 to be ready and then we will redesign the entire site. We have no in-house Drupal staff and contract all our site work out. We are losing our site maintenance provider and are seeking a new one. Many firms don't want to do site maintenance so I am having a hard time finding a company. Could you please recommend some that do quality work. Thanks!

Overview

RestWS is a module which allows Drupal to expose it’s data as RESTful web services. This project aims to improve the module to a stable state, by fixing some bugs and adding new important features.

Description

Hi.

We are working in a module that creates Drupal nodes and taxonomy through the MetalMaker WebService.

This module calls the MetalMaker WebService functions, parses the result XML content and create one node by each song lyric created assign them one taxonomy by album created.

It's a nice module for educational purpose and an easy way to create lyrics for metal music songs.

We use the QueryPath Module for parsing the result XML.

How can we create webservice in PHP6.0

Hi,
I'm very new to drupal services and I've been trying to use the rest_server module and it seems to work pretty well for my purposes (just getting the data out rather than putting it in). I'm now getting to the point where I'd like to be able to add attributes to the xml elements in the response, but I'd like these to be extensible to other server modules if possible (so i'd like to do it in my service module rather than implement a new server.

OpenSocial provides a common set of APIs for social applications across multiple websites. Using standard JavaScript and HTML, they enable developers to create apps that access a social network's friends and update feeds.
Common APIs mean you have less to learn to build for multiple websites. OpenSocial is being developed by Google in conjunction with members of the web community. The ultimate goal is for any social website to be able to implement the APIs and host 3rd party social applications.

Reuters released a web service called Open Calais. It is built on <a href=''http://www.clearforest.com/">clear forest technology that has been around for a while.

You can throw text at it and get tags organized by country, personalities, industry terms, ... in RDF format back. It is of better accuracy than http://tagger.flaptor.com/findtags, http://tagthe.net or yahoo terms extraction API (http://www.programmableweb.com/api/yahoo-term-extraction, http://drupal.org/project/yahoo_terms)

As mentioned on the other paper A Data API for Drupal. Here is a paper that shows how this could be accomplished with some OOP bits implementing the Active Records Pattern. While keeping the interface procedural.

We all know that Dupal will not go full OOP. But some OOP code could help us do things not possible with procedural code. Such as lazy loading of nested objects and 'on demand' database fields processing.
