Veering off into territories where I am out of my depth a bit of fun in the last days of the holiday.
I’ve been playing with the new WordPress REST API using ideas from API Nirvana – Functional Details, then I remembered CogDog’s WordPress search javascript bookmarklet.
Multi WP Blog search allows you to search across a few blogs.
I doubt if this is actually a practical way to do things but it hints of ways of joining different blogs, small parts loosely joined?
I really like this idea. I imagine using it as a means of searching the 200+ blogs in my blog roll. Something to investigate.
Hi Aaron,
Thanks.
I don’t *think* that searching 200 blogs would be doable in a reasonable time, that would be 200 requests… The blogs would also all need to be WordPress ones that support the REST api. But I am only messing about a bit.
It might be practical for searching a handful of blogs that are on the same topic, perhaps filtering by category?
Oh ok, thanks John. Will continue back to thinking. Really need to do more with APIs in general.
