We are constantly improving fluxiom and today we announce some improvements to the API.
On October 15 we will deploy a new version of the API which will add branding information to the account info. With this it will be possible to brand your fluxiom add-ons.
Updated June 22, 2010, to reflect newly introduced features:
This entry is deprecated, please check out our new fluxiom API documentation
This update will only modify the /api/account.xml call:
$ curl -X GET -u <username>:<password> https://<subdomain>.fluxiom.com/api/account.xml
The returned XML code will contain a new branding_info tag, which will be present if the branding of the account is active and will look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<account>
<subdomain>account</subdomain>

- title The title specified in the branding section, which is normally displayed in the browser window title
- font_color The calculated font color fluxiom uses to display text in the header.
- top_color The top color specified in the branding section. This is the top color of the header in the gradient.
- bottom_color The bottom color specified in the branding section. This is the bottom color of the header in the gradient.
- logo URL to a GIF image in the format of 150×79px which is the generated logo.
