Want an easy way to include the hottest topics directly on your Web site? Well, if you can open a socket and parse XML, you're ready to go...

Our API allows you to grab the top 5 wired, tired, active and recent topics from the category of your choosing. Just open a socket and parse the contents from the following URL structure:

http://www.wiredortired.com/api/[category]

To get the topics for all categories, use "all" as the category name: http://www.wiredortired.com/api/all

Replace any spaces in the category name with a "-": http://www.wiredortired.com/api/web-sites

The returned XML is structured like this:

<topics>
	<wired>
		<topic>
			<title>Some title</title>
			<byline>Some byline</byline>
			<link>http://www.wiredortired.com/path-to-topic-detail-page</link>
			<thumbnail>http://path-to-thumbnail-image</thumbnail>
			<fullsize>http://path-to-full-size-image</fullsize>
			<comments>[number of comments]</comments>
			<links>[number of links]</links>
			<score>[WT score]</score>
			<rank>[Ranking within the category]</rank>
