We want you to be able to use CSRHUB's information to enrich and improve your Web-based projects. During the alpha phase of our project, only XML and URL-based interfaces will be available. While these interfaces are simple, we recognize that they are not very stable or easy to use in scripts. Therefore, we intend to offer more complex APIs, in the future.

For now, we offer these ways to retrieve and use our ratings:

--XML You can save one or more of our companies onto a list. You can then export your list as an XML document. The document will identify the profile that you used to generate your ratings. It will also be stamped with the date for which the ratings were calculated. A recipient of the list may either view it as you sent it or change either the profile they use to view the companies (to a profile they have previously created and stored on CSRHUB) or the date for which the ratings are calculated (the receiving user can specify a new date).

--URL Our company pages, industry pages, and geography pages all use standard and easily understood URL structures. Here are samples for each type of page:

Company = Hewlett Packard Inc.; URL = http://www.csrhub.com/company_info/Hewlett-Packard-Company-(HP)

Geography = Belgium; URL = http://www.csrhub.com/alter/geo/Belgium

Industry = Agriculture and Mining; URL = http://www.csrhub.com/alter/ind/Wholesale-Trade/

For more information on this interface and for a list of the valid values for each type of page, please contact CSRHUB at support@csrhub.com.
