I would like to be able to search on keywords through the API.

Has anyone tried - or can think of a better way - to search on keywords using a local database? Such as grabbing the keywords and image id's into a database, query the db for the desired keyword, then pulling data for those images from SmugMug.

Please keep questions to a single question per. For example, the piece about the timeframe for the next release of the API should not be included in this. That in particular might be off topic for this site anyways. – dpollitt♦ Mar 7 '12 at 3:40
Removed it - still confused what is on or off topic for this site vs Dgrin. – kangell Mar 7 '12 at 13:33

This is very on topic and a good question for here. dpollit was just asking to keep the post to a single answerable question which helps future users and makes your post easier to answer is all – Shizam Mar 13 '12 at 19:11

There currently is no way to get keyword information via the api, the only way to get keyword data is via feeds, for instance:

Today's 'awesomized' keywords:

Or the keyword 'leica' for my account (sams)

http://sams.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=userkeyword&NickName=sams&Data=leica&format=rss200

Thanks @Shizam - this will help until keyword searches are supported in the API. – kangell Mar 17 '12 at 0:56
