I've just published the initial implementation of a simplified web services interface for including a license chooser in applications. This implementation is not intended to replace our existing web services, but instead offer simplified integration for developers who may not need the full "2.5 questions" chooser. The interface returns elements in an HTML drop-down in one of two formats -- either HTML or HTML wrapped in javascript "document.write" calls.
The service is currently located at http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/dev/simple/chooser. Parameters: jurisdiction 0-1, returns licenses if jurisdiction is supported, generic licenses otherwise example value: de exclude 0-n, excludes license urls containing string specified example value: nd language 0-1, defaults to en, used for license names example value: ja select 0-1, if specified value used for value of name attribute of select element, otherwise select element is not included. Implicit Parameters: If invoked with .js on the basename (ie, "chooser.js"), the results are wrapped in javascript document.write() calls example invocation: http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/dev/simple/chooser?exclude=nc&exclude=nd&select=license_url example output: <select name="license_url"> <option value="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/";>Attribution-ShareAlike2.5</option> <option value="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/";>Attribution2.5</option> </select> Any feedback or suggestions are welcome.
