Hi! My name is Dirceu and as a boo-box ninja I’ve come to announce some big news:
It is now possible to use more than one tag in our product search system. This was already possible with the widget on the fixed list, but now the function is available both in the virtual shopping window and directly through the API. The tags need to be separated by commas, for example:
The boo-box tool was born from a mix of Web Services and ecommerce APIs, links with affiliate codes in HTML, libraries, frameworks and plugins in free code. Without these open source tools we would not have been able to create applications that have been helping over 1,000 content originators to earn more (and more objectively) with what they publish on the web.
In November 2007 we released boo-api, which allows developers to use our infrastructure to search for offers in any of the ecommerce retailers with which we are integrated. Our intention is to develop, for the community, knowledge that we gained using their tools.

Hi, I am Wendely Leal, a ninja-developer from boo-box, and it’s a pleasure to announce that now we have a JSON API.
This is a common and modern way to transport data between web applications. With JSONP you can do cross-domain requests through JavaScript.
The access is almost the same way as our XML API (check out the release post):
Examples:
To use it with jQuery, put “/jsonp:=?” at the end of the URI. Example:
See a practical example on http://boo-box.com/labs/jsonp/.
Have fun, and if you have any trouble or suggestions, contact-us by tech@boo-box.com.
Nowadays is commoner to see open Web Services’ APIs allowing external access to the data of its Web Applications. Thus any web developer can use the original Web Application infrasctructure and intelligence to make his or her own Application, this is like remixing the Web.
Today boo-box is lauching its public API, now you can use our wonderful product recommendation services to make your own recommendation application.
