As the name suggests, these APIs allow you to instantly develop applications to enhance communication between users of your website.


Instant APIs work within a simple development environment for vocal and mobile internet applications - opening a whole world of new services were, until now, only dedicated to big businesses.

 

To try out our APIs, simply:

1.  Register using the API Manager
2.  Use the API explorer tool

 

You can now develop applications that will provide an additional value added service to your users such as increased interactivity, a personalised and simplified user experience, that you can monetise in order to develop your business.


For example, you”ll be able to send and receive SMSs, locate a user through their mobile (with their agreement), or connect people together using their phone numbers.


Some of these APIs are in alpha mode, and some are now commercially available. Commercial versions are being released all the time. Keep checking the site to see what’s new.


We welcome any feedback you have on the Instant APIs – use this opportunity to influence the commercial release features.
