Press X to JSON

Things have been pretty quiet here at Warp Skip! lately, but it’s not for lack of trying; we’ve been busy in the lab cooking up the next generation of video games.

On this night before the launch of E3 2010, we’d like to introduce our first tool: the Press X to JSON API. This will please you with a depth that might surprise you.

The Press X to JSON API

All you have to do is send an HTTP POST request to http://api.heavyrainjoke.com.

Required Parameters

button
Must be “X”.

I Don’t Know What You’re Talking About

For the curl-challenged among us, a live demo which will still make no sense to you is available on hurl.it. More features may be added as we dare each other into wasting time on them, so stay tuned to the eventual home of all Press X To JSON API news, heavyrainjoke.com.

Team

Lead engineer on this project was Casey Kolderup, unfortunately enough. Special thanks to Adam Parrish and Rob Dubbin for nailing down the tricky details and agreeing on a standard for the API. If you want to get involved, you can send pull requests on github.
