Looking and Smugmug API I don't see methods to search photos, say by keyword(s). Do I understand correctly that RSS feeds parsing should be used for this purpose?

Thanks,

G'day maximdm,

yes, at this point feeds should be used for searching keywords.

Cheers,

Great. Is there documentation for possible parameters which can be passed to feed's URL - e.g. max. number of results, order, etc?

ANd the other thing is if I put the keywork so it will goto different galleries ie...change the keyworks in different galleries to the same keyword.....
it will only show some of the photos in one of the galleries...and it seems to be the gallery that was posted first

Thanks
