Attention hackers: time for our API.

A blueprint of a massive state diagram. It's not real don't worry.

We said it would happen, today it did. Gigulate is launching Music API 1.0.

It’s our first step towards creating a truly valuable API for Music News, Music Blogs and (in the UK, for now) tour dates and concert tickets.  We know it’s going to be great fun to develop with. Essentially it’s going to expose the masses of data that we aggregate every moment of the day, we’ve already built Gigulate Charts on it, so we know it’s hack magique.

If you want in, we’re going to restrict access for a bit, so you’ll need to fill out our little form and we’ll be in touch:

Here in London, a bunch of us will be going to http://musichackday.org/  in a few weeks. If you don’t get hold of an API key before then, make sure you come to that so you can have unparalleled access to the biggest database of music news, blogs ever and so many tour dates you’ll be hacking faster than you can say Alan Turing (ok… Linus Torvalds).

We can’t wait to see what you might find it all useful for.
