Various new features include:

  • Inclusion of information regarding recent donations (message, amount, user, date)
  • Inclusion of charity info & logo
  • JSONP feed for cross domain requests
  • JSON encapsulated error messages for ease of error handling

The API documentation has also been updated and is viewable here : http://api.jo.je/justgiving/

A couple of recent examples of the API being implemented in other sites/apps are:

Meningitis Research Foundation

MSF (@M_R_F) recently implemented the JSONP feed into their Book of Experience to show donation totals and recent messages.

“JustTweeting is a simple application that links your JustGiving fundraising page to your Twitter account. It lets you set up automatic twitter updates with your JustGiving page address and fundraising totals. You can schedule these tweets to be sent daily, weekly or monthly.”

JustTweeting uses the Justgiving API for obtaining data regarding events, currently in Beta with new features incoming!

This application was conceived over a couple of beers by Big Dave and Simon. We’re part of a collective of volunteers known as the Ragabonds.

We’ll be cycling roughly 70-120 miles per day, for 10 days.. totalling around 900miles.

We’ll also be travelling with all our relevant gear & kit, hopefully prepared for any possible eventualities !

You can donate here! All money raised goes directly to the Jigsaw trust, and UK taxpayers can claim Gift Aid too, which will add more onto your donation.

You can view more about the ride on the Barcelona Bike website: http://barcelona.bike.jo.je/
