Scribd API Overview The Scribd API is a REST-based API with methods for uploading, converting, editing, deleting, and searching documents. Using the API, you can use Scribd as a back-end for an application that needs to process documents, without needing to write a document processing system yourself.
All API requests are made by sending a request to the following address:
An example API request might look like:
All API requests must include the following 2 parameters: api_key and method.
Most requests can be simple HTTP GET's. This has the nice effect that you can test your API calls by just typing your request URL into your browser's address bar. However, the docs.upload method must be an HTTP Multi-Part POST because it sends a file.
There are client libaries for the API in a number of languages.
