fluxiom API Update Part 1

October 05, 2007

Update: The API update is deployed!

We are constantly improving fluxiom and today we announce some improvements to the API.

On October 15 we will deploy a new version of the API which will add branding information to the account info. With this it will be possible to brand your fluxiom add-ons.

This update will only modify the /api/account.xml call:

$ curl -X GET -u <username>:<password> https://<subdomain>.fluxiom.com/api/account.xml

The returned XML code will contain a new branding_info tag, which will be present if the branding of the account is active and will look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<account>
  <subdomain>account</subdomain>
  <company_name>wollzelle GmbH</company_name>
  <account_holder>Dieter Komendera</account_holder>
  <address>Mystreet 123</address>
  <country>AT</country>
  <location>Under the Danube</location>
  <zip_code>12434</zip_code>
  <plan ssl="true" stages="true" multiple_users="true" versions="false" branding="true" full_text_search="true">Pro</plan>
  <branding>active</branding>
  <branding_info>

  <updated_on type="datetime">2007-05-23T00:00:00+02:00</updated_on>
</account>

Description of the tags in branding_info:

• title The title specified in the branding section, which is normally displayed in the browser window title
• font_color The calculated font color fluxiom uses to display text in the header.
• top_color The top color specified in the branding section. This is the top color of the header in the gradient.
• bottom_color The bottom color specified in the branding section. This is the bottom color of the header in the gradient.
• logo URL to a GIF image in the format of 150×79px which is the generated logo.
• background_image URL to a GIF image in the format of 10×79px which is the generated header background gradient.
• updated Date when the branding was last updated. Gives plugins the ability to cache the branding images.

In the next weeks we will add two new API features:

• Ability to tag assets
• Retrieving generated thumbnail images of assets
