If you have programming skills, Exalead CloudView provides several APIs to allow integration with third-party applications.
• The Push API (PAPI) is the public API that allows data from any source to be indexed by Exalead CloudView. It supports all operations required to develop new connectors, both managed and unmanaged.
For more information, see "About the Push API" in the Exalead CloudView Connector Programmer's Guide.
• The Mashup API is the API which retrieves the contents of data sources to make them accessible to the data feeds.
Note: Mashup Builder Premium also uses other APIs for non-Exalead CloudView feeds (for example, FlickR search).
For more information, see "Using the Mashup API" in the Exalead CloudView Mashup Programmer's Guide.
• The Search API is the public API for developing third-party search applications. It is the entry point for performing searches on Exalead CloudView.
For more information, see "Appendix - Search API Parameters" in the Exalead CloudView Configuration Guide.
• The Management API (MAMI) is the public API used to configure and manage the Exalead CloudView processes.
For more information, see "The Management API (MAMIs)" in the Exalead CloudView Programmer's Guide.
