ApnaCircle.com, India's first fastest growing Business & Career networking site has announced the launch of its Application Programming Interface (API) platform (dev.apnacircle.com) that aims at improving the scalability of the website. API also enhances the value proposition in terms of broadening the scope of users' interaction and engagement. To support this ApnaCircle along with TIE and IAN, invites application developers to showcase their creative talent in India's first and biggest talent hunt contest for Application developers which will provide them with an opportunity to win recognition in the industry.
The roll out of an API based platform is a strategic and planned move. This will provide the users with the latest and most innovative applications. This initiative will give ApnaCircle a real edge over other networks, which are still reluctant to roll out API based platforms.
