Upcoming Developers API now available in JSON Flavor

That's right, Yum! We've got you're favorite flavor -- JSON APIs now.

You can instruct our read-only APIs to return JSON in order to fetch, remix, and mashup a variety of data for use in your own custom applications and browser-based hacks.

Just add &format=json to any of our existing GET/REST APIs, just like this:

http://upcoming.yahooapis.com/services/rest/?api_key=YOUR-API-KEY-GOES-HERE&method=event.search&sort=start-date-asc&category_id=1&search_text=Regina+Spektor&format=json

(If you leave out format=json, we'll return XML like we always have.)

The whole team here loves to see what you make, so let us (and other API users) know on our developer mailing list. Also, feel free to browse the archives and post to the mailing list if you have questions.

PS: if you haven't tried our API yet, it's pretty easy to get started -- see our documentation for more information.
