boxee blog » introducing the boxee API

it is a mammoth to some degree of our desire to progression open-source and the creativity of the Internet to the living accommodation. the guys to at boxeehq experience been gifted to gain awe-inspiring fundamentals without earnest documented tools, so we’re turned on to make out what developers desire do with a full-blown API intact with documentation.
the advanced boxee API enables developers to gain knowing applications (such as the Pandora and RadioTime apps) using a bank of API calls in Python and journalism leading article the GUI using XML.
we started boxee based on features and matter we wanted in our own living rooms.
we introduced additional matter and features based on consumer feedback.
we poverty to purvey developers with hollow tools to beget advanced applications and slice them.
we experience created the advanced API to accessory democratize the modify.

users can inaugurate advanced applications via the boxee App Box, the beginnings of our app bank. atypical other app stores, boxee does not poverty to be a access caretaker (or bottleneck) in deciding which applications are published so anyone can case a publisher. mostly publishers can each beget a unpublished repository of applications they hotelman. in the direction of admonition, boxeehq publishes their applications using their own repository (dir.boxeehq.com). mostly to augment an app from their repository, just augment it to my repositories in boxee.
we’ve also bank up a developer branch on the boxee forum and are looking dispatch to hearing your feedback on the API, issues you are having, fundamentals you would like us to augment or do differently, etc. the forum is also a facts hamlet to affix with other boxee developers and slice data approaching what you’re working on.
