With the fillbug's XML/RSS and JSON Web API service, software developers can query fillbug directly from their own computer programs or web mashups like http://pipes.yahoo.com/, and http://www.dappit.com/. fillbug uses the XML/RSS and JSON standards so a developer can program in his or her favorite environment - such as Java, Perl, or Visual Studio .NET.
fillbug supports query by example to form the context of the item expander. Example uses are but not limited too: Recommendations , Dictionary, Knowledge Base, Repository, Reference, Suggestion tool, Thesaurus etc.
Modeled losely after the human brain, and working memory, by querying fillbug via this API you are actually writing a record, with the potential to be retrieved at a later date given enough items. Currently this mechanism isn’t in real time, and assuming the request passes spam filtering and quality control.
fillbug also provides for a quick and simple way to build a "pipeline" using Yahoo Pipes. Have a look at the Related Terms pipe.
fillbug's XML/RSS and JSON Web API service is available free of charge for uses not exceeding 1,000 searches per day. As the platform is scaled the service will have no restrictions. Please send any concerns or comments to questsin@rogers.com
To get search results from fillbug use a url like:
http://fillbug.com/rss.asp?q=test&title=title&description=description&N=2&url=http://answers.com/{i}
or in json:
where:
| Parameter | Optional or Mandatory | Default Value | Description |
| q | Optional | ||
| title | Optional | fillbug | |
| description | Optional | Questsin Intelligence like never before | |
| Optional | user email, not system email. This will provide results tailored per user when used as a Recommender system | ||
| lang | Optional | en | user language, not the language of the "q" items. This will provide results tailored per user language when used as a Recommender system |
| location | Optional | user location, not the location of the "q" items. This will provide results tailored per user location when used as a Recommender system | |
| N | Optional | 15 | Number of item results to returns |
| retry | Optional | 0 | If you didn't get the results you expected, just increment retry to 1,2,3 etc and re-query. fillbug will vary the algorithm and the results might be different. higher 'retry' values will result in more random results |
