Tatango API

Currently, we are offering a basic RESTful interface. We are also developing client libraries for this interface in various languages. The Tatango API is still under heavy development, and is likely to change quickly and with minimal notice. Keep up to date with the API on our blog.

Overview

The Tatango API is a RESTful API, allowing platform and language-independent access. We're using HTTP Basic authentication at this time, and suggest all calls be made over HTTPS.

FAQ's

How do I add members to my group through the API?

You'll have to implement your own interface to our opt-in system, using our RESTful interface to the opt-in system (just like Tatango Widgets). Log into your group, go to "Advanced", and click "Custom Integration" for further information.

How do I send a message through the API?

The simple answer is: POST to http://tatango.com/groups/:your_group_id/messages. See the documentation for more details.

Can I use ActiveResource?

Definitely - In fact, we're using AR internally for some administrative tools.
