The DivShare API, or application programming interface, allows web developers to interact with DivShare's database to receive info and upload files for use in their own applications.The DivShare API is made up of two main elements — the first is a script on our server that, when you send it the proper queries, will return information about DivShare files and users. This response comes in the form of XML, and should conform to REST standards. The second part of the API is the script that runs on your server, which sends queries to our script and then interprets the response. This is called a client library, and the code will vary depending on the language you use on your server. For the purposes of this documentation, we'll focus on the PHP 4 client created by our own developers.
