Is there really a 32 API? Where are the published docs and such? I'd like to integrate 23 with my blog and web site -- so things like RSS are good -- but a real API would be nice to grow some real groovy apps.
And grow 23 users at the same time.
Anyone mind if I go ahead and plan out an upload tool? Ultimately I'd like to have an iPhoto plugin, but may just start with a desktop app. I'm pretty Mac-centric, but if I had language bindings to Java or Ruby I could make it platform independent.
I'm hand-waving at this point, but I'm itching to develop a nice toolset for using 23.

Ok, I just read the Blog http://blog.23hq.com/ where it talks a little about hacking 23. No real API yet.
Count me in as a beta tester for the API! I've got some experience in designing and writing code to application-specific APIs.
I've been meaning to roll my own badge based on the RSS feed, so I'll start there.

Well, there it is... I've been kinda disappointed with you guys that you haven't been asking for this before. We've been dropping hints such as the naming of this forum and nobody has mentioned it before! We've been spending much too much time implementing our API throughout September and early October, and we're just about there -- so to put it plainly, it won't be long before we can offer you a 23 API.
Launching such an interface requires some thought about documenting and so on, and we need to present it in just the right way when we go "really public". However, if you have got some special skills (such as programming iPhoto plugins or whatever) let us know and we'll bootstrap with a beta program for those of you who aren't afraid of testing the waters early.
So, drop us a line in this forum, and we'll be in contact via e-mail soon about how to get things started...

Count me in as an early tester.
I've got some experience developing software (it's what I do for a living) and I'm pretty good at finding bugs. I don't have any direct experience with SOAP and other sorts of acronyms that you find in internet-based APIs, but like many other people in this business, I know how to bootstrap myself.
Since I mostly do server or backend development, I'm less familiar with GUI frameworks; I'm looking for an excuse to force myself to learn a bit of Cocoa/OS X programming. In a pinch I could do some Win32 GUI programming, but quite honestly I'd be letting Visual Studio assemble all the discrete parts for me, and hoping for the best. I'm not all that motivated to do Win32 GUI stuff, but since I don't have much choice what I have to do at work I wouldn't bitch too loudly.
I threw out the idea of an iPhoto plugin because other people have offered such things for photo-sharing sites -- how hard can it be?
Let us know when you want us to look at the stuff you have. I'll make some week-ends free to hack on this stuff.

Am I completely hallucinating, or wasn't Thomas showing an iPhoto plugin at your launch?
I think that maybe he was giving such an impressive presentation that I came home thinking a bunch of features were there that really weren't, and then when I go looking for them, I can't find them anywhere.
Anyway, an iPhoto plugin would be great.

Hey - i've practiced my Steve Jobs style reality distortion techniques for many years so one never knows ;)
I did actually demo an iphoto plugin my littlebrother had done without me knowing it - but it was basically just a very simple http interface that was called on and on.
But let's open up the api love.

(The plugin was done through a simple upload interface, which Guan demonstrates on the blog: http://blog.23hq.com/articles/2005/08/10/scripting-23. Don't spend to much time writing for this though, the 23 API really is coming soon -- I promise that it isn't just vapourware...

I've just added preliminary support for 23 to PictureSync (OS X only, v1.4.3 beta should be up shortly) using a combination of scraping and simple-upload. As soon as you've got some docs for an API I'll implement it properly—methods I'd like to see are quota, album list, new album, upload (naturally ;) and adding comment/caption (preferably with the upload, otherwise a seperate method is okay).

Cool! Was that just added, or was I just blind? :)

Yeah the API was always there. We've added a link to the FAQ as well.

I see that the API is based on flickrs... but is there support for searching by lat/lon or any other geo way?

Currently, we are not really up to speed on the geo stuff in the API -- simply because we haven't settled for a final implementation of geosupport ourselves
