Photobucket provides multiple options for connecting your application or web site to media on Photobucket.

Photobucket API (NEW!): Provides API calls to connect your application to Photobucket. Useful if you have an application that requires Photobucket, but you do not want to display the Photobucket interface.
Photobucket Media Plug-in: Free, configurable iframe plug-in that can be integrated into your web site. See the Media Plug-in Help or PDF documentation (335K).
Photobucket RSS Feeds: Really Simple Syndication feeds that monitor album activity, recent media activity, or specific search terms. See RSS Feeds.

Visit our frequently asked questions page for more information about our API.
