Is there any kind of API for accessing member profiles? solved 13 Apr '11, 05:29 Mike Chelen Not as far as I can tell (I've looked into buddypress and there does not appear to be an API). I guess we could just scrape the data. If I can get you the data in JSON can you create a geomap in javascript?

Update: I've done a hack to get the data out of the source wordpress database and convert to json so we are on our way!

hmm. Guess I should've set my location to 'London' not 'London UK' :-D

@Harry: London, UK should be no problem. We use geonames to do the geolocation from names and it is ok with commas but not spaces. Code is here https://github.com/okfn/dashboard/blob/master/scripts/members.py#L61 -- improvements welcome!
