Access all of The Guardian articles and content with the new API Open Platform. It is a suite of services that allow developers to build applications with the Guardian.

Targeting app developers, the Guardian Open Platform is opening its tools and resources to app developers who want to reach a wider audience, improve their engagement or those who want to create an advertising campaign.

This tool is aimed at helping users select and collect Guardian content through a database of articles and multimedia published on a daily basis. There are over one million articles available published as far back as 1999.

Open Platform earlier released two products as part of the platform — the Content API and the Data Store.

A Guardian news feed plugin is also now available for WordPress allowing users to directly post Guardian articles to their blogs.

Here’s a Slideshare presentation on how Open Platform works.
