Creating Iphone API for Aweber?

Question

I have to create a iphone app using Aweber. But Aweber has no iphone API link. Now I just want to know that I have knowledge of PHP and aweber has PHP API, is it possible to create a iphone API for a newbie like me (I mean for Iphone) to accomplish this task.

Answer 1

You don't need a special iPhone API, you would use Objective-C to consume the Aweber API the same as you would use PHP, Ruby, Java, Python or any other language to consume the API for a web app.

The Aweber API is REST based so you can look at http://restkit.org/. From their website "RestKit is an Objective-C framework for iOS that aims to make interacting with RESTful web services simple".

If Objective-C isn't your thing, their is Titanium from Appcelerator, you use JavaScript to build your app and it gets compiled into Objective-C. Mobile Tuts has a nice tutorial on how to consume the Twitter API, which is also REST based. It should give you a good foundation to get you started.
