Api List Categories

From PhotoblogWiki

You will use this once are have a valid session id. You would want to use this to display all the categories the user has created. For example it will allow them to select a category to put a entry in.

[edit] Valid Request

<photoblog>
    <session>SESSION ID</session>
</photoblog>

You must send that request to the following URL

 http://www.photoblog.com/api/listcategories/

As long as the session ID is valid you will get something like this back.

<photoblog>
   <categories>
      <category>
         <id>10</id>
         <name>Some Category</name>
      </category>
      <category>
         <id>851</id>
         <name>Another Category</name>
      </category>
   </categories>
</photoblog>

The id is what you would send back to Photoblog if they selected a category to post to. You can display the name. It is possible a user can have no categories so under <categroies> </categories> will be empty.

[edit] Errors

If you get the following xml back, there is probably a post on that date or you made an invalid request

<photoblog>
    <success>0</success>
</photoblog>
