Boxee Launches New API

Posted by Soulskill on from the take-that-hulu dept.

A recent post on the boxee blog announces the release of a new, fully documented API that will allow developers to create and share new apps and plugins. "The new boxee API enables developers to build sophisticated applications (such as the Pandora and RadioTime apps) using a set of API calls in Python and writing the GUI using XML. ... Users can install new applications via the boxee App Box, the beginnings of our app store. Unlike other app stores, boxee does not want to be a gate keeper (or bottleneck) in deciding which applications are published so anyone can become a publisher." A complete description is available at their developers page. I'm sure this will help in their ongoing battle with Hulu.

    She's kind of like the distilled essence of a certain type of girl that some HATE with a passion, and others LOVE with the same strength. I have a feeling she's actually a fairly clever girl with lots of deliberately affected mannerisms.
