Goozex API

We will soon release the Goozex API documentation! Here you will find all the info to build external applications and widgets that work with Goozex!

The Goozex API is a set of publicly available API’s (Application Program Interface) that allows accessing the Goozex system from external applications. Each API performs a specific function and provides a reply in specific formats, normally XML/RSS. Some API commands return results in Javascript (suitable for posting on webpages) and others redirect to a specific web page on Goozex.com (useful for web integration). They are REST-like commands accessible over HTTP through a remote URL.
 
The Goozex forums is a great place to share your new API-base application, get feedback, and brag about your dev skills.  Plus you’ll get a nifty little Goozex Builder badge (the hardest to get).  We look forward to seeing what all of our Goozex members can mash together!
