Coppermine API
Now a days API’s and tools based on those either web based or desktop are getting more and more famous. We all have witnessed a great API library by Flickr and some cool tools made in Flash using that API.
There are also tools for uploading photos to your Flick account like kflickr.
Being the part of Coppmermine Photo Gallery, one of the biggest Opensource photo gallery software in PHP, a thought clicked in our mind to have a API which will attract more developers than just the end users. And we started implementing the idea immediately.
We decided to follow the footsteps of flickr API to implement the calls and the responses. Today we are ready with the Coppermine API although with just two calls one for uploading the photos and the other for the list of categories and albums in the given Coppermine install.
The API is available in the devel module of newly created SVN repository of Coppermine on Sourceforge. Being the site owner you just need to get the API and put it in your gallery’s root folder.
I have already created an upload tool for Coppermine using this API and currently it is hosted as a independent project on SF. Its name is Koppermine.
Yes, you are right. The K is for KDE. Koppermine requires KDE to run. Window$ users!!! If you are a serious Coppermine user then you can think of migrating to Linux 
Koppermine allows you to a lot more than just uploading.
I will write more about API with possibly some example usage and Koppermine in other posts.
So, keep watching

Your site is very interesting. A little over my head but that may change.
I upgraded to Coppermine 1.4.8 and have run into some problems. I can create categories but I don’t seem to be able to put albums into categories. My web host does not support 3rd party programs and the Coppermine Forum has been a waste of time. I guess I’m just not techie enough for them to talk to.
Do you know of any site I can go to that can help me with my problem?
