Spot Influence BETA

Welcome to the Spot Influence API Developer section.

Here, you can find the specification for our API, including information on the endpoints (Search, Handle, Person, and Topic), example code, and expected responses. Soon, we will provide libraries for easy integration with your programming language of choice, and a community forum to interact with fellow developers.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

Thanks!
The Spot Influence Team

Overview

Spot Influence data can be accessed via our REST API based at http://api.spotinfluence.com.

Calls have the form:

http://api.spotinfluence.com/<version>/<api_key>/<endpoint>/<arg>

For example (Assuming XXX was a valid api key):

curl http://api.spotinfluence.com/v1/XXX/search/spot+influence

...would return an ordered list of the top 50 influencers on the search "spot influence".

Endpoints

Our data is accessed by calls to the following Endpoints:

• Search – The main way to search for people around the topic(s) they influence.
• Handle – Lets you get information about a person using a social media handle
• Person – Similar to the Handle call, except uses a Person ID obtained from other API endpoints
• Topic* – Allows you to submit terms for seeding our data collection.

All responses are JSON and the data is encapsulated in an envelope containing meta-data about the success or failure of the call. The Response Format is available.
