Lulu API Launches

I read a press release early this week that Lulu.com's API, which delivers it's Open Publishing Platform is now ready for prime time with the addition of two major components.

Lulu's APIs enable publishers, Website builders and entrepreneurial content owners to easily publish the books they and their authors have created. According to Lulu, their Open Publication APIs enable publishers, businesses and developers to create Web applications, powered by Lulu, and marketed under their own brand names.

The first of two final components of the API program is a Document Conversion API, that converts Word, RTF and HTML document into print-ready PDF files. The second is a new E-Commerce API. This will allow developers to place orders with Lulu on behalf of their users, programmatically. This will enable their partners to sell their books from their own web sites.
