Virgin Money Giving (unofficial)

For any developers out there who want a quick way to get data about an event, more than provided by the RSS data, here’s a JSON feed you can use (replace ’59024′ as needed):

http://api.jo.je/virginmoneygiving/data/59024

Which provides the following, in JSON format:

{
“title”:”AliceJohnson&pageUrl=2″,
“image”:”http:\/\/uk.virginmoneygiving.com\/\/fundraiser-web\/donate\/downloadImage.action?fileName=\/167x18792353cbc-6d25-4654-babe-45ba9bf69d9b.bmp”,
“person”:”Alice Johnson”,
“donations”:[
{
"person":"Rob",
"amount":"10.00",
"gift_aid":0,
"date":"01.12.10",
"message":"I donate at least three pints of Guinness.."
}
],
“charity”:”Link Community Development”,
“is_live”:true,
“money_target”:”350.00″,
“money_total”:”268.00″,
“money_gift_aid”:62.89,
“money_offline”:”0.00″,
“money_online”:268,
“event_id”:”59024″,
“has_target”:true,
“percentage_complete”:76,
“is_valid”:true,
“pub_date”:”2011-03-12 00:00:00″,
“extra_title”:”Alice Johnson’s fundraising page”
}

This can be decided in PHP5+ using json_decode()

MSF (@M_R_F) recently implemented the JSONP feed into their Book of Experience to show donation totals and recent messages.

“JustTweeting is a simple application that links your JustGiving fundraising page to your Twitter account. It lets you set up automatic twitter updates with your JustGiving page address and fundraising totals. You can schedule these tweets to be sent daily, weekly or monthly.”

JustTweeting uses the Justgiving API for obtaining data regarding events, currently in Beta with new features incoming!

This application was conceived over a couple of beers by Big Dave and Simon. We’re part of a collective of volunteers known as the Ragabonds.

PHP Twitter oAuth

Old content below:

I say class, it’s actually just 1 function for PHP 4+ to allow sending of twitter messages really simply.

Based upon the PHP 5 twitter class by David Grudl

function twitter_send($message, $user, $pass)
	{
		$url = 'https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml';
		$post = array('status' => $message);
		$curl = curl_init();
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user.":".$pass);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
 
		if ($post) {
			curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
			curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
		}
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); // no echo, just return result
		$result = curl_exec($curl);
		$ok = curl_errno($curl) === 0 && curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE) === 200;
		return $result;
	}

That’s it, and then just a call function to send a message:

twitter_send("Hello World!", "myusername","passwordhere");

Simple!

The function also returns XML from twitter, including data such as followers_count, current description, location, profile_image_url etc, if needed.
