javascript - Including twitter/flickr api calls on every page load (WordPress) -

-

i want include latest flickr photos , twitter status updates in wordpress sidebar or footer using jsonp requests. problem of course each page reload perform new ajax call, , believe twitter api has usage limits.

i considering cross-browser data persistance options had javascript , best think of cookies.

would storing ajax results in cookie (setting expiry day, dont update twitter/flickr often). best solution javascript-based twitter , flickr api call?

thanks

the best solution javascript-based twitter , flickr api calls when using wordpress use wordpress transient api. transient api persistent cache method built in wordpress meant cache items change frequently. can set cache expires time , wordpress check database first transient if returns false use json call return item.

here example using transient , shortcodes store users recent tweet. code below aaron jorbin twitter transients plugin

function twitter_status($atts){     extract(shortcode_atts(array(     'screenname' =&gt; '',     'count' =&gt; 1     ), $atts));     $transient = "$screenname"."_$count"."_twitter_status";     $statuses =  get_transient($transient);     if ($statuses == true  )     {         return $statuses;     }     elseif ($screenname != false)     {         $site = "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=$screenname&count=$count";         $ch = curl_init();         curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_returntransfer, true);         curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_url, $site);         $result = curl_exec($ch);         $tweets = json_decode($result);         ob_start();         foreach ( (array) $tweets $tweet){             $tweetcontent = $tweet-&gt;text;             $newcontent = preg_replace('%@([^\s]*)%', "<a href="http://twitter.com/\\1">@\\1</a>", $tweetcontent);             echo "<div class="twitter_shortcode"><p>             <img class="twitter_shortcode_image" src="&quot;.esc_url($tweet-&gt;user-&gt;profile_image_url).&quot;"><span class="twitter_shotcode_username"><a href="http://twitter.com/&quot;.$tweet-&gt;user-&gt;screen_name.&quot;">".$tweet-&gt;user-&gt;screen_name."</a>&nbsp;—&nbsp;</span>$newcontent</p>             </div>";          }         $tweet_display = ob_get_clean();         set_transient($transient, $tweet_display, 120);         return $tweet_display;     }     else     {         return false;     } }  add_shortcode('twitter_status', 'twitter_status');
