Panoramio, a geographical photo sharing site that created by a team of developers that based in Spain and Germany in 2005 has achieved another milestone. They have officially released their application programming interface (API), according to their official blog post. This is another achievement so far after a month ago, they have reached a record of ‘One Million Geolocated Photos‘ with them, in addition to more than 300,000 users have sign-up for their services since its first officially launched in October 2005.

The Panoramio API provides the user interface tool for the users to embed their favorite photos onto their blogs or websites. The beauty of using Panoramio is an user does not need to sign up for what is known as API key, an user only need to do some programming work, i.e. do a GET as shown in “How it works?” section of the Panoramio API page. However, for the users that wish to use the Panoramio API, they need to fulfill the stated requirements such as every photo displayed in the user’s site should include Panoramio’s name or logo and the link to the original photo at Panoramio.com must also be provided by an user. Examples of the sites that used Panoramio API are GPSies, EveryTrail, and WikiLoc.
