Etsy API

What is the Etsy API? http://www.etsy.com/developers provides a powerful web site interface that allows users to manage account data. When you sign up with Etsy, you can log in and use forms on the pages of your account to create, delete, and edit listings, alter account settings and data, and adjust various Etsy account features. As you become more prolific at entering listings and adjusting your shop settings, you may discover that particular usage routines are especially time consuming, or perhaps even impossible to accomplish, using only the tools available in the account pages of Etsy.com.

Nick Antonaccio wrote a great guide about it: http://re-bol.com/etsy_api_tutorial.html

Do you want to create a calendar of the current month in HTML, just use Rebol:

Here the source:
REBOL [
    Title: "HTML calendar"
    Date: 3-Dec-2003
    Author: "Bohdan Lechnowsky"
    File: %html-calendar.r
    Purpose: {
        Creates an HTML file containing the current calendar month and displays it in
        the browser
    }
]
date: now/date
colwidth: 100
dayrowcol: "806080"
daytextcol: "FFFFFF"
wkendcol: "FFCCCC"
wkdaycol: "FFFFFF"
notthismonthcol: "808080"
outfilename: %month.html
html: copy rejoin [{<HTML><TABLE border=1><TR><TD colspan=7 align=center><FONT size="+2">} pick system/locale/months date/month { } date/year {</FONT></TD></TR><TR>}]
days: head remove back tail insert head copy system/locale/days last system/locale/days
foreach day days [
    append html rejoin [{<TD bgcolor="#} dayrowcol {" align=center width=} colwidth {><FONT face="courier new,courier" color="} daytextcol {" size="+1">} copy/part day 3 {</FONT></TD>}]
]
append html {</TR><TR>}
sdate: date
sdate/day: 0

while [sdate/day: sdate/day + 1 sdate/month = date/month][
    append html rejoin [
        {<TD bgcolor="#}
        either find [6 7] sdate/weekday [wkendcol][wkdaycol]
        {">} sdate/day {</TD>}

FastCGI

FastCGI is a new CGI protocol that replace and improve CGI in webservers (Apache, ISS, Lighttpd), and rebol can use it!
FastCGI is especially focused for high value application: greater scurity, distributed computing and extensible
You can  read more information here:
The FastCGI is one of the reserved features in commercial Rebol:
If you need this feature just go to the www.rebol.com and buy one of them.

System object exposed

System object is the core of Rebol configuration, but it's difficult to understand so this post will clarify a little about it.
Since it's an object, you can't call its element with the numbers (system/1),  but you need to know its composition:

>> system/version
== 2.7.8.3.1


How it is composed (click on a name to jump to the relative section):
Lets analyze one by one:


Version

It contains the number version, the first 3 digits are core version, the fourth the platform, the fifth is processor type.
Examples:
  • 2.7.8.3.1    version for Windows
  • 2.7.8.2.4    version for Apple with PPC cpu
  • 2.7.8.2.5    version for Apple with Intel cpu
  • 2.7.8.4.2    version for Linux
  • 2.7.8.7.2    version for FreeBSD
  • 2.7.8.9.4    version fot OpenBSD


Build


The date of building the current Rebol version:

>> system/build
== 1-Jan-2011/16:39:07-8:00



Product


It explains what Rebol product are you using:

>> system/product
== View


Core


It explains what core Rebol version are you using:

>> system/core
== 2.7.8


Components


This is a block made of 60 items, they are just 30 object with name before and none after them in the block:

>> for i 1 60 3 [ print system/components/:i ]
mezz
registry
getprefs
Install
protocols
ODBC
Library
shell
graphics
draw
view
viewtop
sound
crypt
bignum
dhdsa
rsa
sysport
crypt2
ssl

Each object is made of all descriptions of the component (title, owner, version, etc.):

>> print system/components/mezz
make object! [
Title: "REBOL Mezzanine Extensions"
Date: 1-Aug-2004/21:34:12
Name: 'mezz
Version: 1.2.0
File: none
Home: none
Author: none
Owner: none
Rights: none
Needs: none
Tabs: none
Usage: none
Purpose: none
Comment: none
History: none
Language: none
Type: none
Content: none
]


Words


It's an object, it contains all Rebol reserved words, if type is unset!, it means that is a dialect world and it works just in a Rebol dialect.
At the moment it contains 2642 reserved words. Some owrds can be a block or an object.

It's the Rebol license:

[
home: %/c/programmi/rebol/view/
script: none
path: %/c/programmi/rebol/view/
boot: %/C/Programmi/rebol/view/rebol.exe
args: none
do-arg: none
link-url: none
server: none
quiet: true
trace: false
help: false

other-headers: []
]
browser-type: 0
]


User


It contains all user informations:

name: "MaxV"
email: maxint@tiscali.it
home: none
words: none


Script


It became the current script header, if you aren't using any script it's like this:

title: none
header: none
parent: none
path: %/c/programmi/rebol/view/
args: none
words: none


Console


It contains the console history, the symbol to use at prompt, the escape sequence, the busy symbols, the tab size and the function for automatic completion:

>> probe system/console
make object! [
history: ["probe system/console"]
keys: none
prompt: ">> "
result: "== "
escape: "(escape)"
busy: "|/-\"
tab-size: 4
break: true
lookup: func [
"Console filename completion lookup."
file /value
][
if #"/" <> last file [file: first split-path file]
attempt [read file]
]
]


So you can change the console behavior:

>> system/console/prompt: "Command> "
== "Command> "
Command> system/console/result: "Result-> "
Result-> "Result-> "
Command> print "Hello"
Hello
Command> 2 - 2
Result-> 0


Ports


It contains six ports:
  • input
  • output
  • echo
  • system
  • serial
  • wait-list
Input and output are used for CGI script, for example an HTML use a script:

<html>
<form action="testpost.r" method="POST">
<input maxlength="20" name="name" size="20" type="text" />
<input type="submit" value="OK" />
</form>
</html>


testpot.r is:
#!/path/to/rebol -c
    REBOL [Title: "Print POST Data"]
    ;- Always print this line first
     print ["Content-type: text/html" newline newline]
    post-data: copy system/ports/input
    print [<HTML><PRE> post-data </PRE></HTML>]
    quit


Network


It contains PC name and IP:

>> help system/network
SYSTEM/NETWORK is an object of value:
host string! "PC19"
host-address tuple! 192.1.1.1


Schemes


It contains some standard network schemes used:
  • default
  • finger
  • whois
  • daytime
  • smtp
  • esmtp
  • pop
  • imap
  • http
  • ftp
  • nntp
  • https
You can change  or create your connections. For example if you need to connect to an FTP site, always with the same user name and password, just edit the FTP scheme, and every time you use the FTP port, rebol will use your user name and password:

>> system/schemes/ftp/user: 741856@aruba.it
>> system/schemes/ftp/pass: "secretxxxyyyy"
>> foreach item ( read ftp://ftp.rebol2.it/main/) [ print item]

Rebol as web application

The power of Rebol can be used also for web application. There are many languages for this purpose: PHP, Javascript, Ruby. But no other language is easy, complete and small as Rebol.
To install on a webserver you must download the rebol core version from here (just 300kb):
http://www.rebol.com/download-core.html
Then you can copy in your webserver, for example in /usr/bin/.
To use it you webserver must be configured to use CGI script (all webserver usually permit CGI scripts).
Now You are ready to write your first web application, like this: (call it example.cgi)
#! /usr /bin /rebol-core -cs
Rebol [ title: "My first example" ]
print "Content-type: text/html^/"
print [ "REBOL CGI works!" "Time is: " now/time]


Now connect to your webserver, like www.myweb.com/example.cgi, and it'll appear on your browser like this:



The first 3 rows are mandatory:
  1. path to rebol core with option for CGI scripts
  2. Rebol header (rebol want it)
  3. HTML header (all webservers want it)
 You may discover further on Rebol CGI reading these pages:
 There are a lot of script ready to use for webserver, here a small list:
