API Documentation

The Momentile API

Welcome to our humble API. If you are thinking of writing an app (iOS, Android, or otherwise), then you’re in the right place.

We whole-heartedly encourge the development of 3rd-party apps. However, our API is in a super-beta state right now, so in order to get access to it (I.E. become an authorized OAuth consumer) you’ll have to contact us directly at support at momentile dot net so you can tell us why you would like API access.

API Info

Our API uses 3-legged OAuth to provide secure access to user data, it is RESTful and lightweight. It supports JSON (default), XML, YAML, and Pickle output formats.
