Beta test the DivShare API
We’re hard at work on an API to allow developers to interact with DivShare in their own applications, and we’re looking for a few good beta testers to help us work all the bugs out — and, of course, suggest features and changes to make the final product the best it can be. If you’re a DivShare fan and a web developer, drop us a line at support@divshare.com, and we’ll fill you in. Thanks!

You are making a great work, but I have noticed a slow down in the servers. Sometimes, the files don“t even charge.

Hey Ponchito, we are constantly adding new servers to keep up with the rapid pace of our growth — speed and reliability are our top priority, and even as we upgrade, other team members are developing cool new stuff like the API.

Hi Rob. Will we soon be able to use download managers?
Thanx

How can I make the MP3 player auto start and also loop? It would be great to have that option available before getting the code.
Thanks!

I second what Rick said. It would be better for an autostart. Most times when I give the link for an audio file to a friend so that they can listen to it, I always get the tedious task of telling them to push play because they assume that since it didn’t automatically start when the page loaded that something is wrong. So, autoplay would be a great addition, I say.

Rick and Cab, you can add the autoplay feature like this:
Just add &autoplay=true to your code using the same method described in the previous question. The result should look like: /flash/audio?myId=12345-abc&autoplay=true. Remember that there are two places in the embed code to make this change.

I would kinda just like the core stuff to work first, before the new bells and whistles

You’re doing a great job, guys, especially with all of the rapid growth. Thanks

Ah one thing, though- is it possible to make it so when you upload a file to a folder only you can see it? As it stands now, when you upload something to a specific file, when someone goes to access that file they can see the contents of that folder. Thanks, again!

I Want to back Jill up on that Rob, it would be a great feature to have because i’m also uncomfortable of people seeing the rest of the files in a particular folder, even though i have given those files that position to be accessed.
Keep it up, you guys are growing by the hour

[…] We’re also launching our API next week, which will allow you to develop your own apps on top of the DivShare platform. If you’re interested in trying it prior to the official launch, request the Beta client and we’ll hook you up right away. […]
