JSON REST API

Since uClassify was launched back in 2008 we have seen many technological changes. Last year I modernised the site to use bootstrap as a foundation. Now it’s time to take the api to a more modern format.

Initially the uClassify api only had an XML endpoint, however over the years JSON has become more common and I have been getting more and more requests for REST endpoints with JSON format. The graph below shows google trends ‘json api’ (red) vs ‘xml api’ (blue)

Today I have launched a beta of the JSON REST API, changes may still occur but it will hopefully be finalised during Mars 2016.

You can find the documentation here, please feel free to leave feedback.

The old XML and URL API endpoints will of course continue to work as before.
