Developers Wiki - FrontPage

Welcome

Welcome to the Technorati Developer's Wiki
The Developer Wiki was created for application developers, Web developers, and Technorati power users. It is set up as a Wiki so that you can contribute and become equal participants in the development of the site. These pages provide in-depth coverage of Technorati APIs and standards as well as a direct feedback channel.

See RecentChanges for pages with new content.

Feedback

Technorati has three wiki ways to provide feedback. The engineering and product management teams check these pages regularly to gather new ideas from our users. We invite you to participate.

Tags!

Technorati supports Tags. See Tags help, and the rel-tag specification.
TagsTools - A list of blogging and publishing tools that support Technorati Tags.

Developers

Technorati API

Build Technorati functionality into your application using Technorati's APIs. See Technorati API documentation for more info. (previously: TechnoratiApi listed the various web service APIs provided including the Attention.xml storage and retrieval API.)

The Technorati SDK (v0.04 - December 29, 2004) provides many convenient samples and interfaces using C#, Java, Perl, and Python:

Technorati also publishes an online directory of the various ways developers use our APIs. Please check out our APIDeveloperDirectory.

Pinging

Build Technorati pinging into your content publishing applications and services. See the Ping Configurations page for details on how current publishing systems are configured to automatically ping Technorati.

Do you have a content publishing application or service not listed there? Add it to our pingConfigurations wiki page!

Open Standards

Technorati supports open standards. See the Technorati StandardsSupport page.

Technorati is working with the Web community to design, develop, and/or advocate simple and open standards for the Web, including microformats.

The following microformats were originally developed and published here on this developer's wiki and have been contributed to the microformats.org community.

hCard - vCard RFC2426 mapped into XHTML for easy embedding of contact information in blogs and XML feeds.
hCalendar - iCalendar RFC2445 mapped into XHTML for easy embedding of calendars/events in blogs and XML feeds.
XOXO - lists and outlines.
VoteLinks - an extension to the <a href> link to express a vote for, against, or in abstention of the linked URI.
RelLicense - extension to <a href>, for any web page, to indicate the license (e.g. Creative Commons) terms for that page.
RelTag - A standard for indicating that the destination of a link is considered a user designated "tag" for the current page.
RelNoFollow - Indicate that a link should not receive any strength or weight from the current page.
Attention.xml - use XOXO to represent blogroll and attention data. Feed synchronization is one possible use for the standard. There is now a attention microformat development effort underway.

Editing / Moin Stuff

You can edit any page by pressing the link at the bottom of the page. Capitalized words joined together form a WikiName, which hyperlinks to another page. The highlighted title searches for all pages that link to the current page. Pages which do not yet exist are linked with a question mark: just follow the link and you can add a definition.

To get an overview over this site and what it contains, see the SiteNavigation page.
