This page contains information for developers who want to build tools to work with Faves.com data.

APIs

Faves.com offers two different APIs with similar capabilities.

SOAP API
The SOAP API is a simple API designed for developers accustomed to working with SOAP. A WSDL file is available to enable easy integration with tools.

del.icio.us v1 REST API
Faves.com also provides a del.icio.us v1 compatible API. This API layer is especially useful for developers who have built tools to work with del.icio.us data, or simply those who prefer the flexibility of working at a slightly lower level.

RSS
Every Faves.com query is available as an RSS feed. This includes the (public) dots of any user, or any tag or keyword search. Simply execute a search on Faves.com and click the RSS link at the bottom of the page to get the correct URL to insert in your reader.

Faves.com also supports an authenticated feed to your friends dots (both public and shared only with friends) so you can read all dots shared with you in an RSS reader that supports authenticated feeds (e.g., FeedReader). Simple point your reader at http://faves.com/rss.
