Calling all API developers

By Avi Muchnick on August 07, 2007 | Permalink | Trackbacks (0) | Comments (5)

Aviary is going to release it's development API on September 1, 2007

If you are a developer and would like access to the API when it is released, please contact us at aviary_api(a)worth1000.com.

The API will allow third party developers to:

- Develop new ActionScript 3 based tools that use the Aviary platform framework (including our GUI and codebase).
- Develop new ActionScript 3 plugins and controls for use by other tools in the Aviary GUI framework.
- Access and sell third party digital works through the Aviary marketplace.
- Access and store digital works on our distributed file network, Rookery.
- Search for and return digital works from our distributed file network, Rookery.

The GUI uses the Cairngorm pattern framework, which will allow for easier integration into other tools.

Here are some mockups of the new GUI interface. Every aspect is templatable and customizable for whichever specific tool will be made:

We also will include horizontal panels that are not featured in the screenshots (i.e. these would be good for applications that use timelines).

Nice interface, but isn't it a bit too much CS3 guys?? I smell copyright infringement here :(

"The GUI uses the Cairngorm pattern framework, which will allow for easier integration into other tools." This is the answer for Antonio.
