The Dipity API enables developers to interact with the Dipity
service programmatically. We now offer 2 types of APIs.
REST API
The REST-based API returns data in a form
that can be easily integrated into another application or web
site. You can develop Dipity applications for a mobile phone, build
a Dipity widget for your blog, or create mashups with other web
applications.
Javascript API
The JS API, allows developers to integrate data from outside applications
into our javascript timeline widgets. This is a great approach for users that
don't want their data stored on our servers, need to create a large amount of
dynamic timelines, or are looking for a little more widget customization.
To make calls to the Dipity API, you need
to get an application key. This
enables Dipity to authenticate the application without
embedding any user credentials in a request.
Currently, JavaScript API users will need to contact us to get their developer
accounts properly setup.
Dipity provides full documentation for both our REST API and Javascript API.
You can download the PHP REST SDK or the JavaScript SDK. If an SDK exists for your project's programming language, you may be able to get something working in less time. Dipity will promote SDKs written for additional languages.
If you have questions or suggestions, you can chat with Dipity employees and other developers in the Dipity API developer forum.
