Viddler

Interested in developing on top of Viddler’s platform?  Have an idea for an innovative video sharing application?  A mobile application to keep track of your social interactions on Viddler?  Or maybe just a blog widget that you’re just dying to share with the world?

Here is what you need to accomplish your dreams.

Get an API Key

Before you can do anything, you’ll need an API Key.  We’ve created this simple form to request a key so that we can get some general information about you and your application.  We want to help you promote your application, so please keep us up-to-date on its development.

Resources

We’ve been working on setting up all of the resources you will need to get your application up and running.  These resources include documentation, tutorials, use cases, frameworks, wrappers, sample code, and much more.

• Developer Documentation – We provide all of the needed documentation for our API, our video player, and our video recorder. And we’re updating it all-the-time.
• Our Developers Group [rss]- If you need support, want to announce a new product to other developers, or have a question of the Viddler team, our developers group is a good place to start.
• The Viddler Developer Blog [rss] – We will be announcing new products, projects, betas, and updates to our platform through this blog.

We’ll be adding additional resources often. So please keep up-to-date by subscribing.

Testing and Quality Assurance

You can get the same level of quality in testing your application as we do here at Viddler.  Why?  Because we’re exposing our beta testers and our Quality Assurance Manager, Jason Waldrip (jwaldrip), to you through this lab.  If you need help testing your application “in the wild”, let us know through the Developers Group, and we’ll do our best to help you thoroughly test your application and help debug it.  The quality of your application in important to us and we want to do whatever we can to help you.

Support

Stuck?  Need assistance?  Is our documentation not thorough enough?  Please ask all questions through our Developers Group as this will help us to build a repository of support questions that people  can search through.  If you have something that can not be asked through the group, you can contact Colin Devroe (cdevroe).

Thank you for your consideration in using Viddler’s platform for your project.  We’re thrilled to be working with such talented, creative, and good people – and we’re excited to see what you all come up with next.
