Introducing: The filicio.us api
If you really want to be Web 2.0 these days, true ajax’ing (as in fullfilling the holy trinity by doing async, javascript and xml at once) is not enough: You also need an api. And when you’ve got the xml thing down, you’re almost there, so after a few minutes of hacking, we’re ready to introduce our very own file sharing api.
Another very important part of the whole Web 2.0 universe is sparse documentation, so we’ll simply explain the api with a few links to my public files:

- http://filicio.us/get-files?username=steffentchr&mode=untagged
- http://filicio.us/get-files?username=steffentchr&mode=tag&tag=metode
(There’s probably more to come, but this should illustrate the basics…)
