Guest Post By Kord Campbell
I'm a software evangelist for an IT search engine startup in San Francisco, doing a guest post here on OStatic. We just released a new version of our software which provides REST-based APIs for developers to extend and enhance the basic functionality of their products, beyond what we originally designed. Much like Sleepycat did with Berkeley DB, or Flickr does with their APIs, we encourage an open system for accessing the data that the proprietary product stores.
