RE: [backstage] BBC TV API to Nabaztag Wifi Bunny

[David Burden]

The API is at:   http://www.nabaztag.com/vl/aide/159.pdf   Just simple URL string with a bunch of parameters to provide the text, ear movement (!) and lights. Took under an hour to do the demo.   Only two downsides are:   1)       Everything into the rabbit is treated as a message, so the format is a bit fixed 2)       There is no return path, although I’ve mailed the company to see if they could provide a link from the single button to fire a URL as then there’d be lots we could do.   Mine came from Selfridges (in Brum) , I think Firebox is out of stock.   David   ---       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Graeme Mulvaney Sent: 09 June 2006 15:37 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] BBC TV API to Nabaztag Wifi Bunny   It's a funky looking thing - I reckon a trip to selfridges (other large department stores and  gadget retailers are available) is in order.   How easy is it to develop services to run on it ? there doesn't seem to be much on their website ?   On 6/9/06, Ben Metcalfe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Wow, this is really cool.   Yeah, someone from the dev team here as one of those bunnies - and a friend of mine has one too.  Will see if I can get it working on theirs!     Nice work,   Ben   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of David Burden Sent: 09 June 2006 13:38 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: [backstage] BBC TV API to Nabaztag Wifi Bunny   Ben,   Here's one final one before you go then. Using the Nabaztag Wifi bunny to read out what's on TV tonight using the new TV API (thank goodness I can finally stop downloading those TV Anytime files).   Of course if you haven't got a bunny you'll just have to watch the video instead.   http://www.daden.co.uk/consulting/pages/000296.html   All the best Ben, and thanks for everything you've done for BBC Backstage and Web 2.0.     David   David Burden www.chatbots.co.uk       -- You can't build a reputation based on what you are going to do.
