is there a tribe API? i am a Flash developer who would love to do some unique visualization of the tribe community members and member connections. how can i have a third-party data visualization application make on-line references to FOAF files in the tribe network?

Re: Tribe API
Mon, March 6, 2006 - 8:56 AMThere's no api per say for FOAF each user profile has an associated FOAF file that is findable via a link tag on the main profile page. If you view the source of people.tribe.net/miquaelgaio you'll notice a block of tags in the head...
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Plog" href="people.tribe.net/miquaelgaio/blog/rss" />
<link ref="foaf" type="application/rss+xml" title="miquaelgaio" href="" title="people.tribe.net/miquaelgaio/foaf"/>">people.tribe.net/miquaelgaio/foaf"/>
the first is a link to an RSS feed, the second to the associated FOAF file. Since each FOAF file has a link to the users profile and the profile has a link to the FOAF file you should be able to spider away!
