is search possible?

[bogdan]

Hi,
I have looked over the group discussion and did not find a topic with
this question. Is it possible to search using this api? I want, for
example, all stories having "iPhone" in their title, or "J2ME" in
their contents, filtered by popularity and date :-D . Is this possible
with the Digg API ?
Many thanks,
Bogdan

Not now, but we may add search to the API in the future.

In the meantime, we've heard that some folks use Digg's search RSS
feeds as a sort of API. Look for the RSS icon on the search results page.

Thanks, Steve. I just had this same exact question. to me, that would
be the most powerful type of search.

So, in other words, we can click on the RSS feed icon for keyword
searches and then parse that XML?

That's the general idea. Sorry the API doesn't provide keyword
search directly yet.
