"The Kiva API begins as a set of RESTful web services, focused primarily on the tasks of fetching public data from Kiva. For example, here’s are some of the things you can request through the API:
* all of the loans at Kiva currently raising funds
* all of the entrepreneurs from Uganda and Peru which have fully repaid their loans
* the latest lending activity on Kiva
* financial nitty-gritty for any of our loans
* the list of loans made by any one of Kiva’s lenders with a public lender pageAll of this data is delivered with well-formed computer-friendly markup (e.g. JSON or XML) making it easy to integrate into applications. And, this list is just a start. Keep up with us here at build.kiva.org as we post news about new API methods and tools for development. Eventually, we intend to make it possible to recreate the entire lending experience on top of the API!"
