Friendfeed provides the HTML for representing entries so developers don&#39;t have to construct it. <br /><br />Documentation is available at http://friendfeed.com/api/documentation. A Python library that implements the new API methods and OAuth support is available at http://friendfeed-api.googlecode.com/files/friendfeed-api-v2-beta1.tar.gz.<br /><br />Friendfeed has a long way to go to compete with the likes of Twitter. Perhaps this new API will offer some help. <br /><br /><i><strong>Twitter vs. FriendFeed (June 2009):</strong></i></p> <p> <a href="http://siteanalytics.compete.com/friendfeed.com+twitter.com/?metric=uv"><img src="http://grapher.compete.com/friendfeed.com+twitter.com_uv_310.png" alt="" /></a></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9221" width="1" height="1">apifriendfeedfriendfeed api
