Panoramio Photo API (III)

Well it is exactly a month since Panoramio API has started to misbehave after a major site maintenace, although they fixed that particular bug quite fast, still the API it is not working properly so I checked if their own application work properly. To my surprise it seems their own applications are also affected  which quite strange for a Google company, see my post at their forum  http://www.panoramio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=249432#249432
" Photos shown in world map ( http://www.panoramio.com/map/) do not correspond to the coordinates of the map but include photos from very distant places not shown in the map - this is particular true on low zoom levels of the map."
they requested some examples which I also posted there with some explanations.
Still waiting for an answer.

Panoramio Photo API (II)

It seems somebody in Panoramio listened to my prayers and they were fast to respond. So according to their official Forum ( http://www.panoramio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20934 )
" Panoramio API: "count" is not working and changes in call back function. We are working in bringing them back."

Panoramio Photo API

I am using  Panoramio JSON Photo API since quite some time.
Well, during last weekend they have a major maintenance of their platform.
Unfortunately after this maintenance the API format has been changed without any notice, It took me half a night to realize what was happening and fix my mash-up application.
I have filled a report here ( http://www.panoramio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=239662#239662 )
Lessons learned : If  you are using any third party APIs - have a plan and be ready for surprises !.
