How to access Kindle Highlights (API?) [closed]

Question

I want to make a site that lets you follow other people Kindle Highlights. Is this possible Is there some sort of Kindle Highlights API?

Thanks.

Answer 1

THis would be an amazing web service. Amazon does not offer an api for this. You can read public highlights online at kindle.amazon.com, however, you cannot integrate any public highlights into your apps via an API yet. It seems that the new Kindle Developers Kit is purely for creating apps on the kindle and there is not even an api method for accessing public highlights in this kdk.

Answer 2

Shameless plug alert..

I've written a small PHP class that can help with this: Kindle_Highlights

You can get it on github.

Comments/suggestions welcome on improving it.

I will be improving/expanding this over the next few weeks, but as is you should be able to get at your kindle highlights.
