Demand Satisfaction!

Here’s some news that will make some of you very, very happy: Get Satisfaction is superclose to releasing a RESTful API (including some very cool OAuth support) through which you can access almost all of our current features and functionality. Hurray!

(Ed note: If you’ve never heard of an API, or if “OAuth” sounds like some creepy weird thing you’d find in some dark corner of the Web, don’t worry about it. Just rest assured that our adding them is great news for everybody who frequents the site, because it means a lot more interesting uses of Get Satisfaction that will hugely benefit you are just over the horizon.)

We know some of you developers out there are itching to bake Get Satisfaction into your own site, have a desire to integrate Get Satisfaction more extensively into your own customer support systems, or just want to build some interesting little app on top of Get Satisfaction to make it work a little better for you. We’re all for every one of those things, too. And though we’re still a little ways away from a full public release of the API, we want to open up access to those of you that are ready to get started as soon as we possibly can.

So if you’re ok with not having a whole bunch of documentation available to you before you jump in and get coding, and if you don’t mind that some things might break/change along the way, email us (tim at getsatisfaction dot com ought to do it) and I’ll add you to our alpha list. We’re hoping to have the initial push out before the end of the week, and when we do you’ll be the first to know.
