AO API Samples

Back in January of ‘09 we at Articulate released the Articulate Online API to enable developers to build their own custom applications that integrate with Articulate Online.  For example you can use the Articulate Online API to automatically and programmatically create new users in your Articulate Online account.  You can also use the Articulate Online API to integrate your Articulate Online account with a shopping cart or eCommerce application or even paypal so you can charge users for access to content.  

Here are some other things that you might want to do with the API:

• Build a single sign on application to automatically login users to AO
• Create an application to enable self registration of users
• Automatically add or update users on your account

You can find out more about the API, and find out what it offers on the Word of Mouth blog, or if you already know what you want to do, you can find the Articulate Online API here.

I am going to be creating some examples of applications/websites that integrate with Articulate Online via the API, and will document them here.  The applications that I am going to be building are based on requests that I have heard from current Articulate Online customers.  Good news is I am going to be giving away the source code for these examples for free!
