New developer API to be released
We are currently working on a new application programming interface (API) which will enable third party developers to make fancy applications that interact with Helium Music Manager.
This API will be able to both get information about the currently playing track as well as control the internal player to play, stop, pause and skip tracks.
The API is running as a HTTP service, enabling access through a regular REST interface which returns XML data.
The Helium Remote for iPhone will be the first product we release that will use this interface and we hope to build more in the future.
We also want the community to take the opportunity to develop cool things that uses this API. We will be expanding the interface according to requests and needs. The API will of course be fully open and available in all versions of Helium Music Manager (Free, Premium and Network).
Developers interested in learning more or to get a preview release to try can contact us through our contact page.
We are looking forward to seeing people utilizing this great new opportunity!
