Tag Feed
Hi,
I am putting together an application which collects together items with a specific tag from different social media sites (flickr, youtube, twitter etc.) and displays them all on one web page. I would love to get audioBoo on there too, but can't seem to find any way of getting feeds for a specific tag? Is it possible?
Thanks, Matt

If you have a look at the API documentation, you should be able to do that. Specifically with:
GET /tag/tag/audio_clips.format
returns all the audio clips tagged with the specified tag. The tag in the URL should be normalised.
Otherwise, just manually get the RSS feed for a tag. Eg http://audioboo.fm/tag/bushcraft.atom
Hope that helps

Is there any way to pull up audioboos by a particular user with a particular tag? I see easy ways to do ONE of those at a time but not BOTH...

Hi,
Apologies for the really slow reply. No there isn't a way to get clips tagged and by a user. Is this something you would find useful?
I'm actually in the process of revamping the API at the moment and could add this to the list of exposed calls. My only reservation with going down this road is the sheer number of API end points we'd have to deal with to query combinations of the various indices we have on our data (titles / tags / locations / streams, etc).
Cheers,
Thomas.

Thomas,
Thanks for your reply! Yes, it would definitely be useful, although I'm not sure if it would end up overlapping with the Pro features that are being debuted. Basically, I participate in a couple of 'aggregate' podcasts, where a group of participants do group 'casts regularly, but can also contribute shorter personal podcasts whenever they like. Each person can supply an RSS feed for the 'casts they are adding to the mix.
Since I already have an AudioBoo account, I was thinking that it would be prefect to tag some of my 'boos as belonging to that podcast, have them hoovered up by that podcast's aggregator, and so on. I'd have to go all-or-nothing, though, because there are no feeds separated on a tag-by-tag basis.
I definitely hear you on the difficulty of building out all the endpoints consistently, though. Just thought I'd ask about the tagging and see if it was in the pipeline. Thanks!

Well having feeds like
//tags///... Would be VERY helpful. So this way I could publish my Boos for a certain project (= tag)
Or just interpreting username as a tag as well
so
/tag////... would work
