We're very happy to announce the availability of APIs for SermonAudio. Web APIs (or web services) allow programmers to access and interact with data on the site using any client front-end and on any platform.

An API Key is necessary to access the JSON APIs and gives you access to all content associated with your account as well as the ability to upload new sermons. To activate your API key, go to the PERSONAL section of the Members Only Area and use the Activate link to enable your key. Once you do, the key will appear in a gray box.

Are you a web design company? Here's a tip. Developing an integrated solution with SermonAudio via JSON APIs provides a strong value-add for your web church clients. Your clients can enjoy all of the additional exposure on SermonAudio while still having their sermons tightly integrated into the design of their own standalone website.

Who is this for? Programmers and web developers. Opening up SermonAudio via APIs will allow programmers and web developers to extend the rich functionality of SermonAudio beyond the confines of the browser. Client applications can now access data on SermonAudio with dynamic, interactive controls.

We are pleased to announce that SermonAudio's next generation JSON APIs are now available to all SermonAudio broadcasters. The new APIs replace our aging SOAP architecture with well-structured JSON data that is much easier for clients to parse. The new APIs are also a key piece in our internationalization efforts, as the APIs can be used as a foundation for language-aware apps and websites.

Joe Wheaton or Lancaster Baptist Church has written the following comment: I created a module for the Drupal CMS that allows users to mass import their sermons into SermonAudio. It might be helpful for any prospective broadcasters to know that they will be able to mass import their sermons from Drupal into SermonAudio without much hassle. http://drupal.org/project/sermonaudio
