Using my Xbox Live data service?

Posted on April 4th, 2008

If you've written an app, private or public, using my data feed of Xbox live info I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know. This isn't a required 'sign-up', but I want to start to keep track so that I could possibly create a page listing all the sites using it, and it may also be useful to be able to contact folks if I need to make a change or take the service down for an hour or so. Just comment on this post, or drop me a line at duncanma@microsoft.com.

I created a plug-in for Invision Power Board. Users registered on the forums have a XBL Info tab located on their personal profiles. When you click the tab it displays their gamer card info and a list of games played and raw number of points and achievements. The script caches data on the website as an xml file and will not create more than one web request for the same gamer tag in less than 60 seconds to avoid hammering the service. PHP using CURL, simplexml and your API made this easy! Thanks again!

I'm also using the API to list the online status of my gaming clan members on the website. This script grabs member data from the forums mysql dbase then accesses the API and caches the xml data (to avoid multiple hits in less than 60 seconds). The final output is a nice list the clan can use to see who is on Xbox Live and what game they're currently playing.
