Boilingpage APIs

Below are some easy ways to access our statistical data of the Hot WebPages vertical (For other verticals, please write to us at info@boilingpage.com)

Homepage results:

In order to access the results of our home page, the XML file located at http://www.boilingpage.com/API/home.xml can be used. We refresh our results periodically and it'll be automatically reflected in this XML file.

Search results:

If you want to search using a keyword and access the results, please follow the following steps:
a) First call http://www.boilingpage.com/searchapi.php?q=SEARCHTERM using HTTP GET method.
b) Our web server will return the pathname of the corresponding XML file which can be used to display the results for the search query.

Here's an example:
Let's say you want to search for 'economic crisis': then first make a HTTP GET call to http://www.boilingpage.com/searchapi.php?q=economic+crisis
(Please make sure the searchterm that is passed in the URL is properly encoded)

The output of the HTTP GET call will be a XML file that'll look like http://www.boilingpage.com/API/search/economic-crisis_0.xml

You may use this XML file to display the results.

Details of the XML file:

The results are enclosed within 'results' node and for each result, we have five components 'page_id', 'title', 'desc', 'url', 'timestamp'.

page_id - is used for internal purposes
title - is the title of the result
desc - is the description of the result
url - is the URL of the result
timestamp - is the time when the result was popular among people in Twitter.
