API Overview
The API for Shivtr allows you to fetch XML or JSON representations of the data on your site, as well as authenticate with users and perform actions as them, such as creating, editing and deleting content.
Shivtr's API makes use of the same URLs as the website, and therefore goes through the same permission and security checks for what you can see or do while using it. To get started with the API we have created a few docs in our help desk with more on the way soon:
Getting Started with the API
Guild Content API
* note that currently only the guild content is covered with the API; we do plan to add support for the site admin in the future as well
Make something awesome? Let us know!
Getting documentation up for the API has been a popular request as we do have many web developers who use Shivtr for their guild websites - and now that it is live we have a request of our own!
If you make use of our API with your site, let us know! We love seeing how our users expand on and make use of our tools, and in the future we would love to be able to provide examples and showcases of content created with the API.
First :D
At first I was quite annoyed that you changed all the xml structures, but this changes everything:D Thanks a bunch guys.
I'll keep you informed ;)
Thank you so much!!! Been wishing for this for ages.
Time to get creative.
Is there a way to fetch more than 20 shouts? :)
You can iterate through the pages by adding ?page=2 after the .xml
Like so: http://guild.shivtr.com/shouts.xml?page=2
Keep repeating this until the amount of shouts returned is 0.
Happy coding :)
Tadaa :)
This is a feature I use to manage my multi-forum guild. It helps me to keep track of who has signed up where and which ranks they have. Very handy to debug ranks inconsistencies.

When making a new forum post, how do you pick a thread id that isn't in use?
