The New York Times API Description
Our APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), allow you to programmatically access New York Times data in your own applications. Our goal is to allow for a wide variety of uses, including complex visualizations and custom link lists. Why read the news when you could hack it? NYT currently offers ten APIs: archive, article search and books. Our APIs were created for web developers, but any non-commercial user is welcome. We hope to encourage collaboration, as we do with many other organizations. We learn more about our readers and gain insight into the possibilities of news and information by working with you to build apps, create mashups and reveal the potential of our data. We hope you will show us what the future holds for The Times. Our APIs are resource-oriented and use a RESTful design. HTTPS requests are used to make calls.
