Rapleaf API Overview

Learn about your users with the Rapleaf API. Companies, developers, and mashup hackers have all used the Rapleaf API to integrate portable identity into their sites.

Ping Rapleaf with an email address and receive information for that person:

  • Social Network / E-Commerce Memberships (Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Hi5, and dozens more)
  • Demographics (Name, Age, Location, Gender, Occupation, more)
  • Known Friends (how many friends a person has)
  • Reputation (Rapleaf Score, Feedback, and Rapleaf Badges)
  • Activity (when was the first and last time a person was known to be active on the web)
