Guide for the impatient

Read through API documentation (JavaScript, Web Services and Mobile API). Live examples only work for approved developers. Additionally, you can download the client package and edit the config file with your Web Services username and password and begin building your application.
Prefer XML-over-HTTP? Check out Web Services and start using your favorite programming language, such as Java, .NET, Ruby, Python, or others. Documentation is provided. Approved developers can use the XML tester to send and receive XML for testing. Download the client package for the XML and begin using the web services right away using your Web Services username and password.
