API

[FlameHiRo]

Is there an API for xenForo if I wanted to bring some data over to my main site.

(like current user, latests posts, etc).

There isn't, but there are a number of add-ons that can do this.

Nice,I will try the trial and see what the capabilities are. I might just end up bringing everything into xenforo (website only has around 30 articles and not many views so not much to lose).

Yeah there's a few add-ons you might want to consider for articles.

For example, http://www.valvetime.net uses the Featured Threads add-on for its front page news content. Could easily be used for articles, etc.

You can't test add-ons in the demo, though, but you can certainly find lots of examples of sites using that portal add-on.

there's already suggestion thread about that.
