    Twick.it-Blog

    REST-API

    Markus Möller

    Are you a developer and do you like to create your own cool applications based on Twick.it? With our programming interface this is no longer a problem.

    You can use many Twick.it functions with our API. This is a so called REST-API which means, that all functions are called by a HTTP request. That request returns data als XML or JSON.

    With this technic is does not matter which programming language you use or on what kind of device your application should run. The only think you have to be sure of is that you can send a HTTP-Request and handle the returned data.

    All URLs are located under http://twick.it/interfaces/api and return the results encoded as UTF-8.

    We will explain the API calls in detail on separate sites:

    • explain - Retrieves the explanation of a topic.
    • favorites - Retrieves the favorite Twicks of an user.
    • find_topic_by_tag – Retrieves all topics with a specific search term in their tag clouds.
    • find_topic – Retrieves a topic.
    • find_topics_nearby – Retrieves all topics that are located nearby a position.
    • find_twick – Retrieves a Twick with a specific ID.
    • find_user – Retrives detail information about an user.
    • latest_twicks – Retrieve the latest Twicks.
    • random_twick – Retrieve random Twicks.
    • random_topic – Retrieve random topics.
    • search_twick – Retrieves all Twicks which includes a given search term.
    • stats - Retrieve some Twick.it statistics (Number of topics, Twicks, etc.)

    Important news and changes regarding the API are published at our Twitter account @twickit_api.
