Use Your Ning Apps Anywhere on the Internet with the Ning REST API

The Ning REST API offers a fast and easy way to import, export, and share data from apps running on Ning across the web or onto your desktop. There's so much power here, we couldn't show it all with a single demo! The links below take you to individual demos that each present a different aspect of the Ning REST API.

Embedding Feeds on your Blog or Website
The Ning REST API makes it easy to include your App's latest content in an external website. We make it even easier with an example widget that you can embed in your blog right now!

Create and Subscribe to Feeds of Ning Content, Users, or Apps
The Ning REST API lets you create instant Atom feeds from the public content and metadata of any Ning App and without writing a single line of PHP. You can use them to subscribe to the content of the Apps that you use, or to export data for backing up. Even better, you can create feeds from queries that only return the data you want.

Access Your Ning App with Your Favorite Programming Language
The full power of the Ning REST API is available to any programming language that can talk HTTP, from anywhere on the internet. We show you examples of both querying and creating Ning Content Store objects in PHP, Perl and Python.
