MySpace Socializes Real-Time Content with New Suite of APIs

Posted by
December 9, 2009

Today MySpace announced a suite of new application programming interfaces (API) that allow developers to leverage public MySpace data and create innovative applications to socialize content on and off MySpace. Opening up access to publicly available real-time data (such as status updates, music, photos, videos) MySpace reinforces its commitment to powering the real-time social Web and the development of open standards.

Mike Jones, Chief Operating Officer at MySpace, is speaking at LeWeb today to share MySpace’s real-time Web strategy and efforts to empower developers with the new APIs. Based on open standards, the new free-to-use APIs include:

To encourage innovation from developers, MySpace also announced the “MySpace Developer Challenge.” The competition, which kicks off January 4, will award developers who create the most interesting use of the new APIs with cash prizes and promotion on MySpace.

Winners will be announced at the Game Developers Conference on March 10, 2010 in San Francisco. Complete contest details are available at here.
