Plugins or something?

[EdgeC]

Does backyard chickens have a plugin or api or something? I would like to directly incorporate it into my farms website. There is no reason for me to create a forum or re-create the host of knowledge this company already offers. That coupled with the fact we don't sell any of the same products (I don't sell incubators etc...) So having the ability for my website to be able to natively READ (not WRITE) the data already publicly hosted by BYC. I was just wanting them the ability to see notifications/their accounts etc... while on the site and keeping it separate from the actual store/accounts etc... as it would remain unaffiliated. I just want to use it as the resource that it is and give my customers the same access.

Right now (website is not publicly visible atm) I just have a link for the site at the hotbar and maybe might change it to a resource tab? Not sure how I am going to handle it.

I am using wordpress to be lazy. I used to like flash (Flash is dead).

Depending on what you're doing, you could incorporate a link to BYC's Homepage there, and also link to forums, Articles, or posts relevant to what you're discussing, but you couldn't create a forum like this one, as you mentioned, then link yours here. Here are our Terms and Rules.

I don't want to create a forum. I was looking for a API or a plugin that allows another server to read the data from another. It would not be creating anything. It would if anything just be redirecting the people and traffic towards you... I feel like I am asking this in the wrong place and a forum post prob would not be the place to ask. Forget it, ill just write my own. Also your terms of service has nothing to do with this... as I would not be doing anything on the server./forum.. so I could not be in violation. Your only option would be to punish other people... for you know existing and having an account on your site.

I realized that it was for your farm page, thus why I asked if you couldn't just put a link to our homepage there.

I looked up what an API/Plugin was: "An API is a set of rules and specifications that allow different software systems to communicate with each other, essentially acting as a middleman for data exchange. A plugin, on the other hand, is a software component that adds specific functionality to an existing application, enhancing its capabilities."

Perhaps @Nifty-Chicken could better answer you, as he's way more techy than I am, and since he owns BYC.
