Mashable: Reuters frees content with new API

May 13th, 2008Posted by Oliver Luft in Editors' pick, Handy tools and technology, Multimedia, Online Journalism

Reuters Thompson is opening up the way people can use its content across the web by making available a limited range of non-commercial API opportunities (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API) through the Reuters Lab.

Reuters could be looking to extend its distribution through this experiment as it will allow developers the change to build new editorial web-based applications using content from Reuters.

However, developers have to make requests to the lab for permission to develop new applications claims Mashable.
