Slashdot-API
Unofficial API for Slashdot.com
Version 0.1
API for archiving and accessing Slashdot Postings, associated metadata, and URLS per posting.
Currently hosted at: slashdot-api.herokuapp.com
Features
Version 0.1.0 of Slashdot API contains basic metadata on SlashdotPostings and (most importantly) their associated URLs:
- Author
- Title
- Permalinks
- Post-body URLs
Background
This Slashdot-API was built to serve the Discuss-It app and provide easy access and searching of Slashdot Postings.
Slashdot has no official API so results from Slashdot are aggregated by our own API which scrapes the most recent postings and stores them as listings in our PG database.
API
Want to use our app for easy searching?
Slashdot API results can be conveniently accessed with a request to our slashdot_postings page. All results are currently served up as JSON:
