Learn about the Web Services standards REST and JSON by using Google Panoramio and just your web browser !

Using the Google Panoramio API you can display the photos from Panoramio on your own web site. Geolocated photos from Panoramio are great to enrich your maps or illustrate information where location is a important factor (real estate sites, hotels and vacation sites, routes & trails...).

Here's how you'd get some photos of London (X=~0,Y=~51)

This REST call returns a JSON result set that you can view in your browser and cut and paste photo URLs from :

NING have built some of their own components to ease the process of talking to popular web services such as Google Maps, Flickr, Yahoo!, and Amazon.

You can see Google Maps integration at work in the Google Maps Skeleton -- it's just one line of PHP code to plop a map into your NING app!
