I want to use the Bing Wallpaper for my ipod Touch 5G. I know there is no app out there that can do that. Apple has not provided anyone with API's to dynamically change wallpapers off a feed or something.
So I want to create an script - preferably on a server which will read the following XML that bing gives out for its wallpaper feed:
http://www.bing.com/hpimagearchive.aspx?format=xml&idx=0&n=1&mbl=1&mkt=en-ww
Here's how the file reads:
<images market="en-ww">
<image>
<startdate>20130812</startdate>
<fullstartdate>201308120000</fullstartdate>
<enddate>20130813</enddate>
<url>
/az/hprichbg/rb/SwedenFox_ROW7662255021_1366x768.jpg
</url>
<urlBase>/az/hprichbg/rb/SwedenFox_ROW7662255021</urlBase>
<mobileUrlBase>/az/hprichbg/rb/SwedenFox_ROW7662255021</mobileUrlBase>
The XML file has a lot more info, but for now - I need to just copy the text between <urlBase>
and </urlBase>
and append "bing.com" before and "_768x1366.jpg" after that text.
This will create the URL for the daily wallpaper I need in the resolution I need it.
I will need this script to run once a day and either email me the URL or save that image to my dropbox/skydrive from where I can download into my ipod and use it!
Apart from this little research, I'm an absolute noob in programming. I know little Javascript and HTML!
Please tell me what I can use to get this done!
Thanks, Sam.
