Right after announcing about Google Trends for Website, Jonathan Simons of the Google Webmaster Teams announced that they are opening the Google Webmaster Tools for third-party integration with the release of its API.
For the initial version of the Webmaster Tools API, the Google Webmaster Team has made the following features available to third-party developers and webmasters:
- Managing Sites – to retrieve a list of your sites in Webmaster Tools, add your sites to Webmaster Tools, verify your sites in Webmaster Tools, remove your sites from Webmaster Tools
- Working with Sitemaps – to retrieve a list of your submitted Sitemaps, add Sitemaps to Webmaster Tools, remove Sitemaps from Webmaster Tools
Hmmm, it’ll interesting to see what people come up with, I could do with a desktop tool for this that would also generate xml sitemaps for me.
