Hi there -
Recently -- within the last couple of weeks or so -- one of our processes
here that relies on a call to the CC API stopped working.
We use cURL and PHP to post data to the CC API and get back the license URI.
Here's the function that we use -- this hasn't been changed in months:
function makeCCLicense($commercial, $derivatives, $jurisdiction)
{
$ch = curl_init('
http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.5/license/standard/get');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'commercial=' . $commercial .
'&derivatives=' . $derivatives . '&jurisdiction=' . $jurisdiction);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
....}
I've been testing for clues and have set this up to print the contents of
the $result variable to the screen. I get "None". I used to get something
like "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/", depending on
the chooser's choices.
I've run out of things to check/tweak on our side. I'm now wondering if we
are experiencing this problem due to the changes that you all just did to
the API?
Appreciate any help you can offer - thanks!

metadata showing up in the REST API. That's excellent.
And the new Public Domain stuff Mark work been a long time coming. A lot
of CC fans really appreciate the work CC is doing on revising that, and so
it's a really welcome sign that it's stable enough to land in the API.

Hello everyone,
This morning, the CC REST API was updated to include support for the
Public Domain Mark and to deprecate the issuing of the retired Public
Domain Certification and Dedication. We have also added a new element,
`deprecated`, in license responses, that denotes whether or not the
issued license has been deprecated by Creative Commons. These changes
affect all versions of the REST API, excluding 1.0.
