Mapicurious view on APIs

Over the years, we have spent a lot of development time integrating selected APIs into Mapicurious. Because APIs tend to change over time, we spend even more time updating our code. Sometimes writing code specifically to integrate with others' APIs is just a waste of time.

Do you feel the same?

We believe integration of Mapicurious into your software projects should be easier, therefore we offer the following as "our API":

- Each map has a GPX file - Access an example map: http://www.mapicurious.com/maps/483/locations.gpx

- Each map has a KML file - Access an example map: http://www.mapicurious.com/maps/483/locations.kml

- Each map has a GeoRSS file - Access an example map: http://www.mapicurious.com/maps/483/locations.rss

Our API philosophy is simple:

If you already have a geo based application you can probably read one or all of those formats, and read the useful data.

One more thing - We ask that you respect the attribution of data from Mapicurious by recognizing the author's name and Mapicurious.com with a link provided back to the author's map.

Thanks,

Maps
