UserVoice Wordpress Plugin Updated - using our brand new API!
We had an API. It was ok. People built some things for it, including a Wordpress plugin. As time went on, Shane and Peter, the third-party developers of this plugin got busy (which is pretty reasonable) and the quality of the plugin declined. Nobody tackled it again because, well, our API was ok.
As you may have noticed, we’ve launched a new API. It’s awesome. We-built-our-whole-Facebook-app-with-it awesome. And we’re very excited to see third parties start to sink their teeth into it.
A company called Mediaslurp has done just that, and we’re delighted that thanks to their hard work the UserVoice Wordpress Plugin is updated and better than ever. MediaSlurp targets multimedia content such as real-time streams and audio and video podcasts, and brings them together in an interface for users to find content relative to them, and easily play that content. Getting customer feedback is key for them, and they decided to dive into the new API to see if they couldn’t get the Wordpress plugin working. Says Mediaslurp’s TJ Downes:
“Working with the UserVoice API is really straightforward. Anyone who has worked with REST APIs should be able to quickly and easily implement the UserVoice API. We've had no difficulty understanding the API and picking up where Shane and Peter left off. Given that the API is so simple to use, we expect to expand on the functionality included in the UserVoice Idea List Widget in the near future. Since the API also delivers the data in JSON format, we expect that it will be very simple to implement real-time updates of the UserVoice data via AJAX and Flash applications.”
