secret Adsense API exists

Randy discovered something very very very secret secret adsense api and if the secret Adsense API does exist, is it funding spammers and allowing them to break the TOS’ that apply to the rest of us plebs?

There exists a private API in Adsense for retrieving ads via XML. This would allow a customer to completely customize the look of the ads and avoid the Ads by Goooogle appendage entirely. The API is RESTful, extremely lightweight and includes some very interesting options like returning only adult ads.

Google have been attributed with funding web spam on one hand, with Adsense, whilst publically making a show of trying to stop it - so if this post linked above is for real, how does THAT fit into the equation?

I did some reseach and here are the results, looks like the secret api does exist and it is available for “privilege customers only”

Good example is technorati, here is how a custom adsense code looks

and here is the output
