Gamepro API goes public.

Friday, August 7th, 2009

I just wanted to point out a few things that you can do with the GameproAPI. We made it so most people have an entry point to games content.

Bloggers:

For bloggers out there that would like some game content on their blog but don’t really know the inner workings of parsing XML or development there are a few options:

Pre-Made widgets ( http://api.gamepro.com/widgets/ )

These widgets are the easiest way to place content onto your blog or embed in articles. Just find a widget you like, click “Get & Share” and copy the embed code into your post.

Custom Screenshot Gallery Maker ( http://api.gamepro.com/custom-widgets/ )

This is a very cool tool. Lets say you are writing an article about Brutal Legend ( and you should be!) and you would like a screenshot gallery, well it’s pretty easy.

Once embedded you can have a nice little gallery like this!

Game Video Embed search ( http://api.gamepro.com/custom-widgets/ )

You can easily search for videos and embed in the same tool.

Note that you can place multiple widgets in a page, but if they have different color themes, the overlay is going to take on the theme of the last widget placed in the page.
