Delicious JSON

Lots of topics coming from my direction, sorry! This time, I'm having trouble getting anything back from a JSON feed. I'm using the following query:

CODE
select * from json where url="http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/json/urlinfo/data?url=http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/"

See this query in the console.

The JSON appears to be fine but YQL does not seem to like it. (Whitespace added for clarity)
CODE
[
  {
    "hash":"660d6551c721ca8bb0da5faf39675922",
    "title":"Yahoo! Query Language - YDN",
    "url":"http:\/\/developer.yahoo.com\/yql\/console\/",
    "total_posts":202,
    "top_tags":{"yahoo":131,"yql":128,"api":80,"sql":52,"json":50,"webservice":45,"console":44,"tools":43,"xml":36,"web":24}
  }

    It appears that this is a bug. We do not currently allow an array to be at the top level in JSON. I'll file it. If they have an XML based API that might be a workaround in this case.

  • Thanks Sam. The XML (RSS) api is not available for the specific endpoint used above but it can be worked around using <execute> for now.
