The Movim API provides a RESTful API to manage data of the Movim network. This API will answer you using JSON.

Pods

List

You can list all the enabled pod reaching the following URL :

https://api.movim.eu/pods

You can also get the information of one pod by adding his ID :

https://api.movim.eu/pods/1

You can also get the favorite pods of the Movim team by requesting :

https://api.movim.eu/pods/favorite

Register

If you own a Movim pod you can easily register by sending a POST request on /register

Registration validation

To prevent spam and fake pods the API and the moderation team will perform several verification steps.

1. When you call http://api.movim.eu/register you need to send two parameters to your POST request :
• uri which contain the root URL of your Movim pod.
• rewrite which let us know if URL rewriting is enabled on your pod.
2. We will check if a pod is already registered.
3. The API will check if the URL is available and will try to get informations on your pod by requesting /infos (or /?q=infos if URL rewriting is disabled).
4. Then we will verifiy if you reach the limit of 3 pods registered per domain. This limit is only here to prevent spamming.
5. Finally a moderator will check your pod and enable it if all is ok :)

XMPP servers

Movim uses some modern XMPP extensions. Unfortunately some of them are not yet implemented on most of the current XMPP server.

Here you can get a list of some XMPP servers that are known to work perfectly with the most recent Movim version :

FeedCleaner

Before publishing RSS and Atom feeds to a Pubsub node (using a tool like AtomToPubsub for example) you need to convert them to a clean and valid Atom 1.0 feed.

This tool will do it for you using the FeedCleaner PHP library.

This tool is only for test purpose, we advice you to deploy your own feed-cleaner on your server if you need to do several requests per hour with this one.
