Guide to Web Services

From Newscloud

NewsCloud's Web Services allow you to integrate features and content from the NewsCloud Web site into your own Web site, blog or application.

NewsCloud has an open Application Programming Interface (API for short). This means that anyone can write their own program to present NewsCloud data (like stories, tags, members or groups) in new and different ways.

To make using our Web services super easy, we've built a PHP class for you to use. Any PHP programmer can make simple function calls to this class to access our API. The data from our site is returned in easy to access arrays. The class requires PHP version 4.x or higher.

There's a long list of API methods available to you to work with.
