JarCastingdmt-klout
Simple library to connect to the Klout API as explained in the Setting up a Klout application section of the Direct Media Tips and Tricks book.
This library is also available on the Maven Central Repository:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.directmediatips</groupId>
<artifactId>dmt-klout</artifactId>
<version>0.1.1</version>
</dependency>
To use this library, create a Klout object with an API key that gives you access to the Klout API.
Klout klout = new Klout(apiKey);
There are different methods to create a UserId. For instance: if you know someone's screen name on Twitter, you can get this person's Klout ID like this:
UserId id = klout.getUserIdFromTwitterScreenName(screenName);
Once you have a UserId instance, you can get:
Userinformation (e.g. the Klout score),Influenceinformation (influencers and influencees), andTopicinformation.
The following lines show how to write this information to the System.out:
System.out.println(klout.getUser(id));
System.out.println(klout.getInfluence(id));
System.out.println(klout.getTopics(id));
See also KloutConnect.java for a simple standalone example.
