Torrent SearchSo what kind of API does TheGhostBay have?
Our system gives you the opprtunity to easily access our content and use it on your own site. The ability to search and browse for torrent files is where it starts. It then provides search results, torrent files, torrent descriptions, comments and more. This is just some of the information we provide at this time. As the TheGhostBay expands so will the ability to search for new content types, etc.
Torrent SearchDoes it cost anything?
Access to the API is free and does not require registration at this time. Some of the search results the API returns contain advertisements. In order to provide the service free of charge we ask that you do not block any advertisement. We hate pop ups, ads of a sexual nature and ads that redirect the user to a different page - you can feel confident that our ads will be small, simple and unobtrusive. Thank You!
Torrent SearchWhat do we gain by using the API?
You gain a risk free opportunity to create a successful web presence. Very little work is involved on your part. You only have to design a site and place a few lines of pre-written code in it. You don't have anything to maintain or update except a few small files. No other work is required. Placing an add on your site, or creating a forum / online community is just some of the possibilities that could allow for you to make some money. TheGhostBay will grow with new API users, new user created content (through the use of the API), and hopefully a little bit of money!
