here’s some info i kicked out on it:
http://hearingvoices.com/news/2008/07/npr-api-query-generator/

the content will have to match one of the npr-defined categories, among them: programs, series, topic, or search terms.

so it’s according to what the parameters are for the content you wanna display, but the Query Generator should be able to get you there.

for instance here’s our widget for dynamically displaying series at NPR made by independent producers:
http://hearingvoices.com/news/webworks/npr-indies/

that and other widgets are at:
http://www.npr.org/api/widgets.php

Is there some info you might give me to place automatically, dynamically generating and updating content on the site, like you can with the Javascript modules that are available on the NPR stations site?

This is great for manual update and control of exactly which article I might want to display, but for many areas of my site manual updating would not be appropriate.

Thanks, WCW

I can see this is something I’ll use right away.

I’ve tried using the Query Generator to give me a list of stories on say, US immigrants, but the code that is generated is really dense. It’s hard to see (and possible or not to sort) what gets returned.

I’d love to see a How To on the QG. When you have a minute.
