A Speakerrate comments badge or another reason to love Twitter

Another reason to love Twitter: You ask for APIs and you get them. As requested in my Tweet, speaker rate acted very quickly and build an API for latest comments – and here is my thank you. Using a bit of YQL magic and some JavaScript I put together a badge to show off the latest speakerrate comments on your page: Check out the demo page of the badge and get the source and read the docs on GitHub.

Usage:

Simply add a DIV with a link to your speaker page on speakerrate:

[Rate me on Speakerrate](http://speakerrate.com/speakers/3543-christian-heilmann)

Then add the script and call the init() method:

speakerratebadge.init();

You can also provide a few options to the init() method to change the look and features of the badge:

speakerratebadge.init(
{
amount:3, /* amount of comments */
styled:true, /* Boolean if the style here should be pulled and applied */
headerText:'Comments:' /* Text of the header above the comments */
}
);

If you need different styles, just use styled:false or override the ones applied. Tags: api, badge, javascript, speakerrate, yql
