Developers

This page contains information for developers who want to build tools to work with Faves data.

Faves offers two different APIs with similar capabilities.

Faves SOAP API: The Faves SOAP API is a simple API designed for developers accustomed to working with SOAP. A WSDL file is available to enable easy integration with tools.
del.icio.us v1 REST API: Faves also provides a del.icio.us v1 compatible API. This API layer is especially useful for developers who have built tools to work with del.icio.us data, or simply those who prefer the flexibility of working at a slightly lower level.
Client-side JSON API: This API is a lightweight data-interchange format designed for browser-side coding. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)is designed for ease of use. The Faves Custom Bookmark Widget uses the JSON API under the covers.
