API Open to Developers

Our initial intention was to use the active.com API mostly for sharing data with business partners.  We've since seen a lot of interest across the developer community and have approved a bunch of applications for developers looking to create iPhone applications or niche websites.  We've also updated our API profile on Programmable Web and have expanded API coverage to include tennis tournaments (here's a query that returns all future tennis tournaments happening within 50 miles of Brooklyn, NY, for example: http://api.amp.active.com/assets/tennis?zip=10471&distance=50&api_key=rnxjx6ts3pg579gvrbe42qn7). 

If any of this interests you, create an account, then register for a key.  We'll likely approve you within a few day's time.
