WebRatings.Org - Internet Website Rating Administration (IWRA)

WebRatings.Org Developer Tools!

Authenticate sites automatically via XML!

If you are a developer needing to authenticate a site rating for a browser, application or web site, we have developed a universally accessible (via XML) website rating reporting tool.

To implement into your application, use the following values:

Validation URL : http://www.webratings.org/sdk/validate.cfm

Required Variables:
SiteURL : This is the complete URL to the site you are checking

Option Variables:
     Display : TEXT,GRAPHICAL
                       Text, returns the wite rating in test format.
                       Graphical, returns the assigned seal.

How do I implement the feed from my program/web site?

You call the feed via the web, as follows:

http://www.webratings.org/sdk/validate.cfm?SiteURL=http://www.easycfm.com

This will return XML that will contain the following values:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<WebSite>
<Title>EasyCFM.COM</Title>
<Description>ColdFusion tutorials and much more!</Description>
<Rating>W-E</Rating>
<ErrorMsg></ErrorMsg>
</WebSite>
</xml>

Then you can process the XML to display what you want from the feed, such as the title and the rating symbol, etc.
