Here at Skimlinks we are constantly working to innovate and develop new features, tools and implementations of the Skimlinks technology. In fact, we develop at such a fast rate we find it hard to keep track of it all ourselves! So today we are launching Skimlinks Labs to store everything we’re working on in one place.
Skimlinks is perfect for publishers who don’t want to spend time and effort joining programs, creating and maintaining links.
Our latest innovation; EveryFeed offers another simple, aggregated solution, this time, for publishers looking to make use of product feeds on their sites.
Today, we’re launching EveryFeed in beta, our API into over 18 million products across some of our best merchants and networks.
EveryFeed is a simple REST based search API that lets you search on a number of facets such as product name, price and category. EveryFeed is probably one of our longest running internal projects to make it to Labs, it’s become a real labour of love, and it already powers some of our fantastic products!
If you are interested in EveryFeed you can check out our documentation over on http://doc.everyfeed.net/ If you’re already a Skimlinks Publisher, you can apply for an API key in your interface here. When you receive your key, you’ll get access to EveryFeed and some great PHP code samples that let you generate widgets like the ones below, powered by EveryFeed.
You’ll also get access to our special developers mailing list for announcements and support, but if you want know more we’d love to hear your feedback at  labs@Skimlinks.com, or feel free to leave a comment below!
We are really excited to see what our publishers do with EveryFeed and the great applications they build on top of it.
Happy coding!

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, so it should be simple, right? Yes! That’s why we are rolling out the simplest way to affiliate enable the links in any RSS (Atom or XML) feed, SkimRSS! It is a very simple tool that will automatically turn any merchant link in your feed into a Skimlinks-powered affiliate link.
We are always looking for ways to make it easier to use Skimlinks on your site and now, if you host your own site and use WordPress as your blogging platform, you could be using our new Skimlinks WordPress Plugin. It can be found exclusively in the WordPress Plugin Directory and if you are running one of the latest versions of WordPress the automatic install will mean you can be running Skimlinks on your site in seconds.
