Clojure Blekko API

Back when Blekko had an API, I threw this implementation of their API together for a small project I was working on. You can only query blekko with this (the API allows slashtag manipulation and all that which I didn’t bother with).

Anyway, you can do this:

Usage

With leiningen:

[clj_blekko "0.1.0"]

With maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>clj_blekko</groupId>
  <artifactId>clj_blekko</artifactId>
  <version>0.1.0</version>
</dependency>

You can just do this:

user> (use 'clj-blekko.core :reload)

user> (clojure.pprint/pprint (:RESULT (run-query "shriphani" api-key :json true :page 2)))

Anyway, thought it might be useful (even though blekko’s gone and nuked free access to their API).
