Webshots Open API

In the spirit of allowing our community to do more with photos, Webshots is giving the community a peek under the hood. We've long had a beta API we have used internally and shared with a few of our friends in the community. It's a work in progress, but we want to open it up to all of you to help make it better. We'd love to hear from you about the API calls you'd most like to see next!

Email us today to get started! Please include your contact information and an explanation of the application you hope to develop and so we can understand how you plan to use the API, and share this with our community once it is built. We'll respond with the API calls, a partner key and password and our terms & conditions of use. You will also automatically be added to our mailing list (no SPAM or marketing emails, we promise) and get advanced notice of the anticipated changes and additions to the current available API calls. We want your input to help make the API even more useful as it is developed.

We'll do our best to answer and support any questions you might have, but remember, it's a beta!
