ADAM is a dynamic pond bio resource that is requested from our server via a specially constructed URL. The base URL is the same for all ADAM requests and begins with: http://adam.peoplepond.com/peeps.php

The next part of the URL is the lowercase, hexadecimal MD5 hash of the requested user's email address with all white space trimmed, for example the fictitious "alcastle@email.com" would have a hash of "4240be8e2dc90b4aef080848af60435f"

http://adam.peoplepond.com/peeps.php?email=4240be8e2dc90b4aef080848af60435f

Alternatively if the username is known you can simply call

http://adam.peoplepond.com/peeps.php?displayName=AlCastle

The URL must contain either the email or displayName variable in order to function.

The output will always be exactly what the user has saved to the database, additionally free accounts will still display the free package restrictions just as the users live page will.

Optional Parameters

BIO

If bio is set to 'no', then only the image, either the default PeoplePond image or the user select image will be returned.

http://adam.peoplepond.com/peeps.php?email=4240be8e2dc90b4aef080848af60435f&bio=no

LENGTH

Because the data stored actually contains HTML mark-up, the character count reflects each HTML character as well. Thus the length viewed in a web page will appear approximate.

http://adam.peoplepond.com/peeps.php?email=4240be8e2dc90b4aef080848af60435f&length=400

IMAGE

The users preferred image (if any and could actually be a gravatar image) will be displayed without height or width specified.

http://adam.peoplepond.com/peeps.php?email=4240be8e2dc90b4aef080848af60435f&image=yes

EMBED

If the image variable is set then the embed option will include a

 
      $email = 'alcastle@email.com'; 
      $hash = strtolower(md5($email)); 
      $bioLink = "http://adam.peoplepond.com/peeps.php?email=$hash";

      $bio = file_get_contents($bioLink); 

      echo $bio; 

      OR you could do this

      include($bioLink);
