It's Mashup Time! Seattle 2.0 API
Version 1
We use Plain Old XML (POX) for our API. We are likely to provide JSON soon.
Here are some basic rules:
- Be gentle to our servers and do cache responses.
- When in doubt if what you are using it for is ok or not,
contact us.
- If things don't work, don't blame us, blame nature.
- Give credit to Seattle 2.0. Some suggestions how.
- Let us know of your mashup/service and we'll list in our directory and tell the world about it.
