What can I use the Rummble API for?

Personalisation using our Trust Network API - a unique and advanced personalisation technology which builds a network of tastes between people. Imagine a social network but links of levels of trust, instead of friendship.

Places - over two million global places of interest linked to thousands of reviews and real-time data, including the long tail of the physical world (physical locations of interest beyond just venues and businesses, e.g. great dog walk, vista of a city, great kite surfing spots) for both urban and rural places.

People - Connect with the Rummble community and enable your users to rate, review and "check-in" to venues, to share their experiences in real-time with friends and across other services including Twitter, Facebook, Bebo, Flickr, FireEagle, Total Hotspots and more.

Real-time Data Mining - Pull Tweets for specific venues, to provide news, reviews and content to get the latest local buzz and create services to interface with Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and more

WiFi Hospot Database - a global database of over 1/4 million wifi hotspots, for you to use, FREE for non-commerical use in your apps!

It's Free - for both commercial and non-commercial projects you can create completely separate services or enrich the Rummble community.

Privacy - Granular location privacy settings built right into the platform core

Field Tested – all the Rummble mobile apps are powered by the same API we give you access to. In partnership with Sun Microsystems we’re delivering performance and scalability.

FAQ

What this trust algorithm stuff?

Rummbles Trust Networking technology is a group of clever algorithms which enables you to easily personalise content (recommendations) for users, providing context and filtering of noise. It builds a network automatically between users and they don’t even have to be connected as “friends”. The trust network infers levels of trust directly or indirectly with other people, regardless of whether they are in your social network, resulting in personalised ratings and better contextual relevance.

What is Mashery?

Mashery provide API infrastructure and management services that sit between the API service and developer, handling common API features including managing API keys, reporting and rate limiting.

Mashery isn't an API in a box. It's more cost effective and saves time to offload some aspects of API infrastructure to a dedicated API service provider, while Rummble focuses upon delivering a world-class real-time social discovery API.

Rummble's secure servers are the only place that location and user data is stored.
