The team over at Pownce (just Leah Culver? I’m not sure they ever hired a second developer) has finally released their full API!
The new API uses oAuth for the authentication portion and adds the ability for any developer to recreate a fully-capable Pownce application. The old version one API only let you pull down yours and friends updates, but not post messages, links, events, or files.
There were unofficialy ways to do this of course (I even helped reverse engineer the old protocll), but it’s great to have an officially sanctioned method to do this.
I’ve got a personal Pownce account that I don’t use very much. Perhaps the new applications to be built on this new API will help me use it more often.
As for my personal projects that I’d like to add Pownce too, I just have to wait for Mike Taylor or James Bennett to completely re-engineer their old API implementations!
