I am wondering how best to setup a module with the yahoo shopping api similar to how cameraprices.com uses the shopping.com api. I'm thinking the module would need to parse the xml and create nodes so they can be voted on, commented on, etc... The module would also need to implement a cache so as to not pull the xml via curl if it has already been processed in the db.

Any suggestions or module code to look over?

check out the leech module it works great ...
for parsing xml and converting them to your own content types... I installed it yesterday i've been having so much fun with my auto update site! :)

I would suggest to install it and follow the instruction at least two times before even looking at the code so you can understand how it works

Hi v1nce,

I will be releasing a shopping.com module soon, if you have any interest in using Shopping.com. You can learn more about the Shopping.com API, the partner program, and get connected with others with the same interest.
