h3. About
SmugMug's API allows you to read from and write to SmugMug for your own applications. You'll need an [API Key|http://www.smugmug.com/hack/apikeys] to get started, and need to use REST, JSON, serialized PHP , or XML-RPC to interact with the service. SmugMug \*highly\* recommends using REST, JSON, or serialized PHP....

h3. Accounts
|
Anyone building something for all SmugMug customers to use, we'll start you off with a free full featured Pro account with all the bells and whistles for 1-year\! If your application becomes one of our most popular, we'll make that account free even longer :-) Simply drop us a note (markham at smugmug dot com) letting us know what your application will do and a link to some of your prior work.

{color:#ff0000}{*}IMPORTANT:*{color} Please send along your own custom User-Agent string on all requests, including version number, so we can help our customers out who might be using your application. Thanks\!
h3. Feeds
Often, if you just want to read data and not write it, it's often easier to just grab and parse one of our feeds. Sorry the documentation is a little weak, do feel free to ask on dgrin about more details (or even write up a better page yourself\!). See our [feeds page|http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Feeds] for more info on the actual feeds.

h3. Uploading
|
We have a special page on [uploading|SmugMug:Uploading] [uploading|API:Uploading] photos to SmugMug since that can be a little confusing.
