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.
