Trendrr.com Announces New Two Way Developer API Platform

Understanding the importance of automation and data interoperability, Trendrr offers other organizations a chance to leverage their data and visualization tools for other Websites, internal reporting and creative endeavors

August 6, 2009, New York City- Trendrr, the proprietary online tracking, trending and dynamic graphing service developed by digital marketing and technology incubator, Wiredset, today announced a new two way developer API that will allow developers to access raw Trendrr data, contribute to the metrics platform through open-sourced programs and develop in collaboration.

As Trendrr continues to develop a holistic view of business intelligence across the web, the new API allows developers at brands, agencies, media outlets, non-profits, market research firms and other web services to build new and aggregate value services off of the data Trendrr continuously structures.

"In this release we've focused on allowing users maximum flexibility on how they manage their data and campaigns. The new Trendrr API provides a powerful tool set for interacting with the Trendrr platform and leveraging metrics for third party integration and middleware development," said Trendrr Chief Architect, Dustin Norlander. "Clients can now utilize our API to automate their tracking setup and seamlessly integrate their metrics back into their own reporting environments, create new web properties that leverage our data and contribute their work to the Trendrr community."

Developers can now leverage built in jsonp support, manage the addition or deletion of data, create projects and alerts or re-configure data and graphs easily through Trendrr's API. The new developer hub is located at http://developer.trendrr.com.

Example API usage can be found at http://developer.trendrr.com/examples/tracking-twitter-trends/. This example gathers key items to track from a web page, pushes them into Trendrr via the API and pulls the resulting graphs back out for display.

Developers who are building tools to make the Trendrr API easier to use for other developers (language specific wrappers, etc) will be eligible for free account upgrades and should reach out to developers@trendrr.com with details about their project.
