Are you trying to write an API to access your own web data, or are you trying to access somebody else’s data through their API ?

@akozlik

Yes, I am trying to write API access for my own data.., i…e Allow other users to use my API to access my services/data (whatever they might be).

Similar to twitter, facebook, etc…

Hi,

Someone on here has written a REST based framework to help you do this.

Haven’t bought it so no idea what it’s like though: http://codecanyon.net/item/tiny-rest-framework/99263

Take a look at XML -RPC, a great example of mapping requests to classes and methods can be seen in CodeIgniter – http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/xmlrpc.html

Thanks for the links, Though i wanted to implement API for my (Upcoming) Client Management Application, i will implement it in the future release.
