Netflix Shutters Its Public API

Posted by timothy on from the seemed-so-promising dept.

esarjeant (100503) writes "I guess it shouldn't come as a total surprise, but Netflix has gone from not issuing new developer keys to announcing the entire [public API] program will be shut down. It's a real shame they are going to be taking this offline; it spurred quite a bit of innovation for the Netflix service. For major sites that have already gone live it sounds like Netflix will let them keep going, but if you're looking to build the next FeedFliks, then you better look elsewhere."

    The only good way to deal with corporations is to have orbital bombardment capability.

    Unfortunately you have to get them to build it for you.
