Further to our post about being forced to shut down the API, you'll be pleased to know the API is now back online.
In the past, the API has been completely open. In other words, it required no authentication. This is where most of the botnet attacks and spam generation were coming in from.
To counteract this spam, we have now enforced the requirement of an 'API Key' (it was always optional in the past). This will allow us to shut down spammers within minutes of an attack (if they even bother now).
If you need one, you can get your (free!) API key from http://fwd4.me/api
