Deviant Art API or SDK for iPhone?

Question

Do you have any idea if there is available an official DeviantArt API or SDK for iPhone?

I am building an application and I would like to integrate a search through Deviant Art public feed. Is this possible?

Answer 1

There is no official API or SDK for the iPhone. From reviewing their forums, it has been suggested many times, but so far has not been provided.

There's something called DiFi: http://www.botdom.com/documentation/DiFi that may be worth a try.

If that doesn't work, you could try interacting with the web site using a hidden UIWebView by using the – stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: method. I've used this in the past to interact with web sites that do not provide an API.

Answer 2

That's a wonderful idea, Andrei, but I don't think deviantart has any APIs available. However, what you want to do might not be impossible, you would just need to build your app to work with deviantart's website.
