a simple, api for the fast lookup of usernames based on a web address, or vice versa
creator.io constructs a tweet for you from the RSS feeds you follow so you can curate content on your own feeds and blogs. You want to mention the feed owner, but you don't know their twitter username, neither does creator.io, until now.
creator.io ⇢ W? API
PHP curl request to
"https://whosername.com/api/[api_key]/bbc.co.uk/json
W? API ⇠ @bbcnews
Having received the username from the W? API, creator.io can now send the tweet with the BBC username.
Because automation is better.
