I'm kind of glad you brought this up, because in dusting off my example--which you probably already found on this message board already--I noticed that it...
kenneth, thanks the help, but i am really struggling with this. i have been playing around with your code, and made a few changes, but i am failing to obtain...
I guess an important question I've been forgetting to ask is if you're using V1 or V2 of the API? I've been using V1 since summer '07, and I see where they're...
I am trying to query the API with a zip code dimension. I have other dimensions working, but not zip codes. For Example: String[] dimensions = { "make_honda"...
i have no idea what api i am using or even what an api is. will it make a difference to a line of php code which says: please just give me these results as a...

If I use this: http://api.oodle.com/api/v2/listings? key=TEST®ion=tampa&category=vehicle/car VS using the api: $method = 'get'; $params = array( ...
Hey all, Steve Baker here, lead engineer on the API here at Oodle. It's been a while since I stepped into the "Oodle API Developers" Yahoo! group here to...
Hey thanks... I'm new to the group, just started playing with the code a bit. Noticed that if I use the URL method, I get different results (not in terms of...
... Right. As I mentioned in my previous post, the information is similar between the two APIs, but grouped differently. This includes using slightly...
Hey Steve, I'd have to agree... having multiple 'elements' makes it a lot harder to search for and build arrays using XPath tools. Also, is there any reason to...
... Can you describe what you'd like to see? What additional attributes would you want on those nodes to make life easier? I tried things out, and hmmm, I'm...
Steve, there is a Xpath function called local-name(). It allows you to build an array be doing a regex type of search for a single node. When you have two...
... Well, as I mentioned in my previous message, what attributes should we put on the element node to make life easier? Just tell me and we'll make it happen....
Howdy Oodle API developers, I wanted to drop in again today and talk about a hot topic - one that we see regularly in our API support queue: Running scripts...
Since I brought this up to begin with, my suggestion would be to re-name the second <element> node to <image>, since it is a single image within the <images>...
... Actually, in the new API, it's entirely possible for listings to have more than one image. (In the old API, there's only one image per listing. Another...
... Got it. In what cases would you use local-name() though? To pull out a particular listing from the <listings> block? Let's break this down a little bit. ...
... Whoops, small correction to my previous message above. I had a typo. The XPath pattern is this: //listings/element[3] Not this: //listing/element[3] Small...

Hello Steve. Just wondering, is it possible to sort by year with version 2 of the Oodle API? I'm looking to retrieve "classic" auto listings by year in...
... Excellent idea. I've now made the change to add "VIN" to each listing's "attributes" tree, when we have it. A few notes: (a) This will only be in the new...
