Hi

I want to count the total number of friends and fans of certain users from Digg using phyton . Can you please recommend a Toolkit? I never used Diggs APIs before, can you please provide a simple code or tutorial site that I can learn from.

I was looking , http://services.digg.com/2.0/digg.hasDugg APIs , is this right one to use?

Thank you in advance

I suggest urllib to interface with their online API. It is in the standard python distribution.

I haven't used the toolkit before, but it's for the digg api 1, not digg api 2. If you want 2, you'll have to implement your own toolkit (easy enough to do, but you'll need the required knowledge). Anyway, now that I've seen it's for api 1, you might as well go for PyDigg - http://code.google.com/p/pydigg/ which is more feature complete and easier to read for you.
