LJ Client/Server protocol question

[pstas]

I wonder if I can use "getevents" method to access posts of users other than myself?
If yes, please point me to a relevant example.

No.

Thank you! Please advice what would be the easiest way to find when the post (not mine) was submitted?

Your wording here is not too specific, but if I'm understanding correctly, you can subscribe to the journal the entry in question would be posted to and receive a notification via inbox/email/stuff.

Sorry, let me expand my question:

I have an address of LJ post (e.g. http://vlnv.livejournal.com/15531.html). How can I *programmatically* extract the date when it was posted?

I could download the post and search its HTML for the date, but it seems that different journals use different formats, so this solution seems complex. Would you suggest a better answer?

I believe you can, if they were posted to a community that you have posting access to.
