Announcing Pownce API v2.0
February 28th, 2008
Hey developers! We’re proud to announce that Pownce now has a complete API for you to create awesome projects, mashups, and hacks.
What’s new in v2.0?
The biggest improvement is the ability to post notes. You can post messages, links, files, events and even replies via the API. Another big improvement is the ability to fetch lists of private and friends-only notes. Both these new features require a user to be logged in to Pownce and the API provides 2 ways to do this: HTTP basic authentication and OAuth, a new open standard for token-based web authentication.
In addition to new API features, we’ve also added an application directory for developers to show off their work and for users to find new tools for using Pownce. Check it out: http://pownce.com/tools/
We’re sorry it took so long for us to release a complete API. We’ve taken great care to provide the best experience for developers and we hope the wait was worth it. Going forward, we’ll be working hard to keep Pownce the best social messaging application out there.
Thanks to our developer community and our helpful API alpha testers. Keep the feature requests and feedback coming. You all rock.
