API
Yes, we are fully Web 2.0 compatible (if that's possible). For that particular reason, we offer you a very easy to use API (Application Programming Interface) for use in your website. It's not like the APIs that you might remember from Windows programming - this is something way smaller and easier to use. It's working like a service for your website. You submit a query to our API and receive the results in return - so you can process them and put them on your website. Quite nice, isn't it?
What's more is that we offer two variations of how the results look like
1. A CSV (comma seperated values) list, simple text format - This is the DEFAULT result type (seperated by a ";" )
2. A graphical version - Similar to the table you see at our site. No CSS, no colors applied.
The url of our API is:
http://www.whatisthatfile.com/api.php
In order to search for the file "svchost.exe" you would call it like this (result is CSV format, seperated by a semicolon):
http://www.whatisthatfile.com/api.php?q=svchost.exe
If you want to change this to table format, simply add the according parameter: "s=table" which looks like this then:
http://www.whatisthatfile.com/api.php?q=svchost.exe&s=table
As you see, piece of cake. Let us know if you have any questions or problems: support@whatisthatfile.com
