Any API Gurus Around?

5 replies
I have gotten an exclusive beta test of a really really cool API. Only problem is it is like greek to me! I thought, I would be able to mashup an awesome api for a site, only because I have had past success with Google API's. BUT to no avail! I have no idea what I am doing wrong and really want to see the power of this ap.
Can anyone help?

I can not offer financial compensation, but maybe work out something else?

The universe has a beautiful way of working itself out!

I really hope I do not get bashed for asking this question... so I am posting with caution.

    (I saw the link in your sig is pointing to a parked domain. Not sure if that is what you intended)

    APIs that are new generally do involve a good deal of beta testing. Maybe a good first place to start would be the person offering the beta. If they are really interested in having successful beta, it would only make sense to work with helping you use it. Otherwise, I'm not sure I would take them seriously.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

    Send me specifics, no guarantees for any useful replies but who knows...

    I integrate API's from payment processors, photo sharing sites and twitter clones into miscellaneous web solution and widgets, so at least I could sniff sniff what's up.

    Candace,
    You can drop me a note as well if you want. I've used all sorts of APIs both in IM and the real world. I might be able to help.

    I'll join the bandwagon. Send me over a little note and we can look at what it is, how it is used, and how we could turn it in to something profitable. You should note... initial beta's of APIs are often buggy/weak and are prone to change. Whatever is built needs to be flexible enough to accept the changes in the API.
