  Hi,

  I saw in the api page that said: X-Favstar-API-Key - Obtain this from Favstar.
  Where is that? How I can obtain my API Key.

  thanks

  in favstar.fm/api it mentions obtaining an API key. how does one do that? I'm not sure I see how to integrate into my app

  Great idea.
  I just using api for getting number of favs/RTs instead of HTML-scraping.

  I'd love a JSON api to check my (and my friends') favs and RTs.

  I want to use it.

  I'll echo the demand for a JSON/XML API that takes a Twitter user name or ID and returns the most popular statuses (20 by default, with an optional count parameter to fetch up to 200).

  I have slightly different suggestions from Geoffrey about the URLs:
  GET http://api.favstar.fm/statuses/recent.json?screen_name=sferik
  GET http://api.favstar.fm/statuses/popular.json?screen_name=sferik

  These URLs use "statuses" instead of "users" at the base of the path (since that's the class of objects being returned) and more closely mirrors the Twitter API (which consumers of this API would presumably be acquainted with): http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/user_timeline

  I agree with Geoffrey that this could be a new revenue source for you. Have you seen the great Twitter-based APIs offered by InfoChimps?
  http://api.infochimps.com/describe/soc/net/tw

  They charge $20 a month for 500,000 API calls, which seems reasonable to me. I also would recommend looking at GeoAPI's pricing:

  $please+;

  Yes. I'd love to be able to show my most favorited tweets on my site and allow people to fave them if they wish.

  would be useful as an additional source (authority?) of reputation. plus, who wouldn't want to follow funny people?

• topfunky commented  ·  February 12, 2010 13:41  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  Agreed. A simple json API would be very useful. I'd be willing to pay a small fee.
