Actually, I hope there is not an easy for you to get the list of all
users, particularly since some of them don't what you to know about
their relationships (i.e., private tags, private networks).
I can tell you how to get plenty of public social relationship data from
del.icio.us, after which I will add more words of caution.
Collect network relationships by starting with a given user id and
calling the following URL recursively, replacing [USER] each time:
http://del.icio.us/feeds/json/network/[USER
<http://del.icio.us/feeds/json/network/%5bUSER> ]
i.e., Assume a function GetNetwork that takes a user id and perhaps some
other params, then for every person returned by GetNetwork call
GetNetwork again. You can view some similar but more complex javascript
source code here: http://www.bborntest.com/g.licious/g.licious.htm
(view source on this page). Note that this page was written for
Internet Explorer and will ask you if you want to install the
Bridgeworks ActiveX Control to visualize the graphs. You don't have to
do this just to look at the html source in any browser.
CAUTION: Don't go trying to recurse on everyone. Limit your depth to a
couple of levels at a time. Not only will it take time to build a big
network, but you'll also be hitting against the service too much. Be
sensitive about the data you collect. Just because our information is
public doesn't mean we want the whole world to know. You may discover
things about people and their networks that they don't know themselves.
That can be creepy. On the other hand, you might learn some things
about our networks that will benefit us all.
Good Luck,
Kevin
