Why: To design the coolest and most creative applications using the Justin.tv API
The API
The API itself comes in two main pieces, REST and Flash. In short, we've giving away access to several pieces of our technology and infrastructure. The REST APIwas built to provide information about already existing Justin.tv data and broadcasts. The Flash API includes the live player and the broadcaster, each of which are fully customizable in appearance and behavior. Finally, our chat, along with our social chat channels, is available as well.
The possibilities for live video applications are really only limited by your imagination. Want to create a custom-skinned player? You can do it. Integrate with your own service's existing profile and identity system? No problem. Think you can make a great live video search engine, if only you had access to the stream data? Now you have it. We're hoping to see all these applications, along with the ones mentioned above, and more. For much more visit our blog.
The Event
Justin.tv is hosting an API Hack Day so that you can use our new API to create your very own applications. The API Developers will be on hand to help you out during th event and answer any questions you might have. Please remember to bring your wifi enabled laptops, an EVDO if you have one, power cords and all of your creativity. We will provide lunch, dinner, drinks and snacks throughout the event. Four $300 Amazon gift cards will be awarded to the best use of the API.
