The beauty of a vibrant social network, even one like Dribbble that is built on a few simple concepts, is relationships. Quickly, a rich body of information emerges about objects we value and company we keep. Here at Dribbble HQ, we’ve brainstormed about numerous initiatives for exploration of our social graph. We suspect that much of our long-run future lies here. But in the present, our to-do list overwhelms.
Instead of delaying adventures into the social strata indefinitely, we’re opening up the players’ association data to the community. The following information about a player is now available:
- followers
- [those a player is] following
- draftees
- drafted_by_player_id (id of player who drafted) is now an attribute of player
Descriptions of these operations (and all other API information) can be found in the Dribbble API documentation.
Also, please note that you can follow updates to the Dribbble API on Twitter.
We hope you catch the bug to study the viral nature of player relations. We think they’re facet-nating. (Booooo.)
