The Zenfolio Application Programming Interface (API) is available for third-party development of software applications, plug-ins, utilities, and tools interfacing with the Zenfolio service.
The Zenfolio API provides outside developers with the same features and functionality of the Zenfolio platform used internally for our own development. The Zenfolio API is platform-independent and is based on open standards. It can be used from any programming language on any platform as long as it supports sending and receiving HTTP requests.
Anyone developing a tool that can be useful for others will receive a free account on Zenfolio. Let us know what you are working on.
The Zenfolio API can be used by anyone to implement virtually any application using Zenfolio as a service. Think of photo browsers, plug-ins to image editing applications, synchronization utilities, screen savers, OS shell integration, Web site publishing tools, and more.
Many of the free tools you find available here were developed using the Zenfolio API.
The following Help chapter provides detailed information describing the Zenfolio API.
You can find code examples illustrating the use of the Zenfolio API in the Examples section of the API Help documentation. These are not final applications, just code examples:
