Toolkits Flash Development Kit PEAR Services_Digg Your Toolkit Here! PHP Perl Python Java Ruby JavaScript .NET

 

Flash Development Kit

 

Stamen Design, the developers of Stack, Swarm, and Big Spy, the first API applications, have packaged the magic behind those apps as the Digg Flash Development Kit.

 

You can read more about the kit and check out the source from the project page on Google Code.

 

PEAR Services_Digg

 

Services_Digg is a PEAR package created by the developers at Digg that allows developers to quickly consume and interface with the Digg API. The PEAR package officially supports the PHP return type, unofficially supports the XML response type using SimpleXML, but does not support the JSON return type. It also includes the class Services_Digg_Proxy, which allows developers to quickly set up JSON proxies for use from AJAX/JavaScript requests.
