API of the Week: UserVoice API

UserVoice, one of our favorite idea management services, launched a new API today. UserVoice has completely revamped its API, which is available in two varieties: a free read-only version and a more powerful commercial version. The company built its new Facebook Page App and iPhone SDK using the new API.

The SDK is particularly interesting. As UserVoice points out in its announcement, iPhone users frequently give apps bad ratings because of one bug or missing feature. Using the iPhone SDK you can build a UserVoice community right into an app and collect feedback within the app, hopefully stemming bad reviews elsewhere. The SDK is available here.

The new API can be access through your UserVoice account in Apps & Plugins section of the Admin Console.
