API now handles URLs and HTML links perfectly!

March 2, 2012 /

Our official Spin Rewriter API has just been updated.

It now supports all kinds of URLs (secure or non-secure, subpages, links to files, etc.) and correctly preserves the original formatting.

It also supports all kinds of HTML links now. In case you were wondering, HTML links are these thingies: <a href=”LINK HERE”>ANCHOR TEXT HERE</a>

With these changes it’s gotten even easier to automatically spin content through our API, for instance directly from your WordPress blog, or from your 3rd-party software app.

Check it out! 😉

Spin Rewriter API updated

December 16, 2011 /

We just added another action to the official Spin Rewriter API. It’s called “unique_variation_from_spintax” and it’s a rather useful one.

Say you have a piece of text that already comes with the {first option|second option} spinning syntax. You can pass it to our API with the “unique_variation_from_spintax” action and our server won’t do any additional processing at all – it will simply parse the existing spintax and return one of the possible variations. This is extremely helpful when you simply want to create a number of unique variations of text that’s already been spun.

All API documentation has already been updated with this new information, as well as all code samples for developers and the actual Spin Rewriter API SDK.

Spin Rewriter API documentation

December 13, 2011 /

Okay, we just launched the Spin Rewriter API, and we thought – we should get developers on board as effortlessly as possible!

So we prepared a ton of stuff for all of you developers out there, and our efforts should enable you to integrate the Spin Rewriter API into your own apps in 10 minutes or so. Among other things you’ll find:

  • A thorough documentation of all API (HTTP POST) requests and API (JSON) responses. This will give you an idea about the inner workings of our API.
  • 100% functioning code samples (in PHP):
    – a script that will get the remaining number (quota) of API calls
    – a script that will spin your article and return the spun text (with spintax in place)
    – a script that will spin your article and return one of the possible unique variations
  • We prepared an actual official Spin Rewriter API SDK (Standard Development Kit) that’s also available in PHP. This kit comes with a number of examples, and allows you to spin your articles using the Spin Rewriter API with as little as 3 lines of code. 😉
  • A short “Q&A” section that should provide the answers to the most common questions.

You can find everything over at http://www.SpinRewriter.com/api 😀

We love developers just as much as Steve Ballmer (the Microsoft guy), and we want to make everything as easy as possible for you. Oh, and here’s a funny clip of him going just a little bit crazy. 😀

Spin Rewriter API available!

December 12, 2011 /

We just launched the much anticipated official Spin Rewriter API!

Why should you care? 🙂

As a user, Spin Rewriter API allows you to use the Spin Rewriter spinning technology from within other compatible software products.

This means that you can – for example – spin your articles using our amazing technology directly inside your favorite article distribution software. You never have to load the Spin Rewriter website and interrupt your workflow by spinning your article there, and then pasting the finished (spun) version of your article to your article distribution software. You can use Spin Rewriter directly from compatible desktop software products, online services, WordPress plugins, etc.

As a developer, you can use the amazing Spin Rewriter technology inside your own application or service. Whenever you need to rewrite a block of text, simply send it to our servers and Spin Rewriter will do all the hard work for you. We developed our algorithms – you make the most of them!

Silicon Valley updates

October 28, 2011 /

Given the fact that we’re currently staying in the infamous Silicon Valley, we can’t help but develop new parts and improve existing parts of our software. There seems to be something mystical in the air of the Silicon Valley, because all programming code seems to be working on the first try which – as my fellow programmers will know – usually  does not happen. 😀

We have improved various tiny parts of both our front-end (i.e. user interface that you’re dealing with on a daily basis), and our back-end (i.e. algorithms that make Spin Rewriter amazing and keep on making it even better).

We’ll keep you posted as the development continues … 😀

This time we’re rolling out 8 new updates

October 5, 2011 /

With the mega-ton of feedback that we’ve been getting, it’s quite easy to find new ways of further improving our product.

Here’s what we’ve got in store for you this time:

  • We have updated the Get Started Tutorial, and now it includes more information about Spin Rewriter’s new “Fast Mode”.
  • You can now quickly deselect all synonyms of the current word! The first time you click the A button, all available synonyms of a particular word are selected. When you click this button for the second time, all synonyms are deactivated.
  • We have bumped the number of generated text files when exporting your projects from 400 to 1,000!
  • You can now edit your finished (spun) articles and save the changes you made.
  • We have fixed the issue with &nbsp; characters being shown in exported text files. We have also fixed the (very rare) issue where exported text files didn’t preserve paragraphs.
  • We made sure that Spin Rewriter fixes the most common spelling mistakes even more robustly than before – “cant” becomes “can’t”, “wierd” becomes “weird”, etc.
  • We have added a number of new answers to the Frequently Asked Questions section of SpinRewriter.com.
  • We fixed a couple of other minor issues, so the user experience is even smoother now.

We wish you a lot of business success! 😀
