Path, the social network designed to better connect people who are already well-acquainted, is opening up its API to 13 outside developers to give its users more ways to share content.
The new partners were announced Monday as part of an expansion of the company's API (application programming interface). The changes, which were laid out in a blog post, are aimed at making it easier for Path's users to publish a wider range of content such as personal exercising data, photos and videos, and blog posts.
The list of developers includes Strava Cycling, which provides a running and cycling GPS tracker and performance analytics; Viddy, for mobile video; Over, which adds text to photos; and the blogging site WordPress. Path seemed to have its more pious users in mind too—Holy Bible, which describes itself as the site dedicated to God's word, was also included.
The integrations constitute a considerable expansion of the Path API, increasing the number of enlisted partners from two to 15.
