Netvibes lets its users easily add content (such as widgets or feeds) on their page using the Subscribe script.

Subscribe is a public URL that can be handled in many ways.

Its base URL is this:

http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?xxx=yyy

This script supports many parameters, described in this page, and from which many uses can be created.

Note: this only works for the Netvibes page of the user who clicked on the link. It will not add the content to Netvibes Ecosystem - this has to be done manually.

Reading feeds is the historic use of Netvibes, and the Subscribe parameter is therefore very easy to remember:

• url: the full URL for the feed (any version of RSS or Atom).

Alternatively, you can use feed instead of url.

Feed URL is:

http://www.liberation.fr/rss/laune

Subscribe URL must be:

http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?url=http%3A//www.liberation.fr/rss/laune

…or…

http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?feed=http%3A//www.liberation.fr/rss/laune

Subscribe lets you add any of the many Netvibes Essential Widgets, provided you know how to call them. This is done using the module parameter, which must contain the name of the wanted Netvibes module: UWA, Flickr, Gmail, ImageModule, LinkModule, MailWizard, Myspace, Facebook, SocialWizard, TodoList, Weather, Finance, Digg (or DiggOfficial), etc.

Additionally, some of these Essential Widgets can be configured within the Subscribe URL itself, using secondary, widget-specific parameters. These options are described herein.

Users who have added a widget from its standalone rendition have already used this method - it's the link un the Netvibes button that is automatically added under the widget when it is in standalone mode.

In the case of a UWA widget, the parameters should be:

• module: UWA ;
• moduleUrl: the full URL of the UWA widget, url-encoded.

Widget URL is:

http://www.netvibes.com/modules/digg/digg.html

Subscribe URL must be:

http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?module=UWA&moduleUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.netvibes.com%2Fmodules%2Fdigg%2Fdigg.html

If you want to create a link so that users can easily add a given webpage within their Netvibes page, just use the WebPage module.

The parameters should be:

• module: WebPage ;
• title: the title for the widget, url-encoded ;
• url: the full URL of the UWA widget, url-encoded.

Page URL is:

http://about.netvibes.com/

Subscribe URL must be:

http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?module=WebPage&title=About%20Netvibes&url=http%3A%2F%2Fabout.netvibes.com%2F

The URL must start with http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?.

Each parameter must be separated with a ?.

Subparameters are optionnal: if there are none, the widget is simply added, with empty settings.
