Mollom

Mollom provides an Application Programming Interface (API) for resellers to seamlessly integrate Mollom in their products. This is the documentation of Mollom’s reseller API.

Before you implement the Mollom reseller API, it is important that you understand how Mollom works. As a developer, the best way to learn about Mollom is by reading the Mollom client API documentation. Please also read the additional information on the usage guidelines, the terms of service and the privacy policy.

Like the client API, the Mollom reseller API uses an XML-RPC interface. In order to use Mollom, a client must request a list of valid servers (see Section 9.1 for more information) to which it then can make Mollom service requests. Each reseller using Mollom also needs public and private keys, which can be obtained at http://mollom.com.

Each Mollom reseller API request is an HTTP request that specifies one of the following remote procedure calls:

• mollom.createSite — register a new site and request a key pair.
• mollom.listSites — retrieve a list of all your registered sites.
• mollom.getSite — retrieve details about a specific site.
• mollom.updateSite — update a registered site’s information.
• mollom.deleteSite — delete a registered site.

The following topics in the client API also apply to the reseller API:

• API version
• Client-side load balancing and fail-over
• Authentication
• Error handling
• Testing Mollom
• XML-RPC basics
