Integrate Yahoo Pipes into PHP App?

Question

Hi,

I just found this pipe.

http://pipes.yahoo.com/jonbishop/8vA1gjvl3RGqWknCBB50VA

I was just wondering if it was possible to integrate this into my web app? How would I go about doing it.

Basically, I have a form on my website - I would like this form to interact with this pipe to get the relevant data.

Could someone post a summary of what I would need to do to achieve this? I can then probably work it out from there. Using PHP.

Thanks

Sharing a Pipe

Once you've built a Pipe, you'll be able save it on our server and then call it like you would any other feed. Pipes offers output in RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0 (RDF), JSON and Atom formats for maximum flexibility. You can also choose to publish your Pipe and share it with the world, allowing other users to clone it, add their own improvements, or use it as a subcomponent in their own creations.

So you'd access it with any Feed Reader or XML lib you like. I am not aware of a public API for building Yahoo Pipes programmatically.
