Press Releases

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – YourMembership.com Inc., a leading global provider of online member communities and membership management software, today announced the launch and availability of the latest version of its application programming interface (API). Version 1.5 of the YourMembership.com API delivers more control to customers by enabling them to programmatically automate the management and synchronization of data between the YourMembership.com database and third-party applications and databases.

"With this version of our API, we've gone above and beyond the ability of managing core member data and extended the offering to facilitate the management of member media galleries, messaging, connections, wall features – and most importantly – transaction data," said William H. Stover Jr. CEO and president of YourMembership.com. "With version 1.5 we've delivered more control over our system data and effectively delivered more business intelligence that can help our customers achieve greater ROI and success."

Financial Data Management
Version 1.5 of the YourMembership.com API delivers enhanced financial transaction data and new methods for managing career center information, member media galleries, message centers, wall features and micro-blog feeds. For financial data management, the API exports donations, dues transactions and store orders for integration into third-party applications, accounting packages and offline databases. Export of store orders includes product information and financial data for order fulfillment and reporting. The API also exports career openings, if applicable.

Member Data Management
The new API also provides functionality for image uploading to a member's media gallery, browsing of photos and albums, retrieval of a member's media gallery album list, retrieval of a member's media gallery item list, and retrieval of a single media gallery item.

For managing messages, the API returns a list of messages from a member's inbox and/or sent folder and allows members to read messages and send member-to-member messages. The API also returns a member's connection category list and a member's complete connection list, and it enables connection request approval or denial.

Additionally, the API version 1.5 returns a member's entire wall and enables posts to a member's wall, and it facilitates feed retrieval of the RSS 2.0 community NOW! micro-blog with YourMembership.com.

Single Sign On and Federated Identity
As in prior versions, the YourMembership.com API version 1.5 enables single sign on (SSO) with third-party systems and can act as an identity store for identity federation. The API is a secure framework that is locked down on a per-customer basis to ensure data integrity across platforms and applications.

"We're continually advancing and adding new features to our API," Stover said. "Version 1.5 provides a tremendous step forward, and we’ll continue to add features and functionality in order to stay ahead of the business needs and processes of our customers."
