Sponsors with APIs? Can you do this?
Question for you sponsor programs out there. How many of you have APIs that let me pull data from your database? For example, can I pull your most recent scene? Can I pull its pictures and hosted video URLs?
I just wrote software like this for a sponsor, and it got me thinking about the possibilities if the majority of sponsors supported this type of data retrieval. I made a tech demo so you can see what I'm talking about more easily: http://dev.edgeprod.com/apiclient/index.php That pulls the most recent scene, and displays a hosted video (if one exists). If not, it shows the "large" picture. It then pulls the scene title, the models in the scene, and the scene teaser text. It pulls the URL for the tour, and a couple of other images as well, and then slaps them up on a page. At no point does the user (this site, in my example) have access to the "raw" database; it's all done through an API. If you provide this service to your webmasters, please contact me via ICQ (501917) so I can add you to a massive promotional project. I will include EVERY update you can get me, regardless of niche. |

Great job man! I would venture to say that nearly no sponsors have an API though. :-(

I'd tend to agree with your assessment, but I'm hoping that there's a chance I'm wrong. I've written a number of programs to utilize APIs to automatically create huge interlinked (and organically auto-updating) SEO blogs, forums, tubes, free sites, etc. Basically, if a sponsor has an API, I can scale out a massive affiliate network for them in minutes. |

Nice!
Reminds me of a script i wrote some time ago that got sponsors FHG's from provided rss feeds (if provided, else from a huge static list) and then created SEO'd pages, including pics/movies from the original fhg and keyword-rich articles, auto-generated using the original fhg description as a basis.. damn, need to dig that out again. .

I decided to create the API to provide different image formats, URLs for hosted media, all of the descriptions, dates, model names, etc, that I could need -- all in an XML format that worked with my existing scrapers. ![]() This API is completely XML-based, so your scrapers should work with it, too, if you want to promote Pride Bucks. I can hook you up with whatever features you need to promote 'em. |

Cool thing! That could actually be an option for a project i have in mind. Noted your icq# and will hit you up as soon as i find my original script.. i only have to sift through 3 or so hard disks ;)

I made a couple of tech demos based on the data that was available:
http://www.gayheap.com http://blog.gayheap.com http://tube.gayheap.com I whipped each of these sites up in less than 30 minutes, including design, using the API. The first example pulls the most recent scene from 3 different sites, then displays a hosted video (if one exists). If not, it shows the "large" picture. It then pulls the scene title, the models in the scene, and the scene teaser text. It pulls the URL for the tour, and a couple of other images as well, and then slaps them up on a page. Easy-peasy, and it updates when the sites update. Surfers can scroll to older updates with the navigation at the bottom of the page. I didn't add any search because my goal was to finish each site in less than 30 minutes, as a proof of concept. The second example was a (CSS) re-skin of the original site, without the thumbnail row, and without the flash videos. More of a "blog" feel to it. It has the "full" descriptions for the sets, rather than the shorter ones used on the previous site. The third example is just a simple attempt at making a MGP masquerading as a simple tube. It just refers the surfer to the tour pages, but it serves as a proof-of-concept for handling video-type sites. |

While I'm sure you're just joking, there are some people out there who are actually ignorant enough to believe that RSS will do the job, so I wanted to make sure I replied and made it clear that I am NOT looking for RSS feeds from programs. Those will NOT do what I am looking for .. not even close. So please don't post 'em, only contact me if you have a true API, and I'll add you to a large network immediately.

We can build something if you are looking for more variety. Currently, our cam-reg API allows affiliates to create user accounts for their customers in real time. Send me an email and let me know if there is something specific that you would want to use for cams. jeff at vsmedia d0t c0m

LMK what you're looking for, we have a ton of content and definitely the capabilities to build an API that allows you to pull that content

This puts you ahead of the run-of-the-mill affiliate that has to check manually for updates. For big studios this would work and you could probably pull money from them to implement it. For the smaller guys it'd be like pulling teeth and you'd have to make something standard and mainstream (like what strongbox is to the industry).

sorry if this is off topi but what about apis from tube sites? is it good idea to use their api,make your own website,get traffic and sell ads? I'm thinking making a tube aggregator site.. is this a good idea?
for example : http://api.redtube.com/docs/ |

What if I want a model's height? What if I want her hair color? What if I want a different size image? What if I want just the performer's names? Let's be serious here: RSS does not provide what I need. XML does, sure, but RSS feeds do not. Let's not confuse people .. we definitely don't need MORE ignorance on GFY, can we agree on that? Please, sponsors, this is NOT what I am looking for. I'm NOT interested if you have RSS feeds alone. This is not nearly enough, and does not provide anywhere near the flexibility (not to mention format) I need for this project. |

Still adding more. Is Pink Visual going to be the only one sucking up all of this free promotion?

If so... that's OK, we don't mind.

Last go-around for sponsors. Found 3 so far, and that's pretty sad. If you don't know if you can provide this, contact me and I can see if your DB is easy enough to modify that I can just give your tech people my code.

bump, cause APIs are awesome. Would like to see more sample API commands/docs though, not just the results.
