OK, that's pretty cool I guess.

The API

The API is very much in the early stages of development so please post any feedback you have to us using the contact link in the footer.

Overview

To connect to the API use the following URL followed by the resource, the parameter pairs and your API key.

http://api.kroud.co/RESOURCE/KEY/VALUE?key=123456

When getting and posting questions and answers you need to specify the Kroud subdomain as well. So for example you would use this URL to get the questions for a particular Kroud:
