Universal Widget API

This documentation about UWA is not up to date. The new documentation is available here: http://uwa.netvibes.com/docs/Uwa/html/index.html

A widget is a small application running on a platform, allowing its users to access external content on their personal page.

The Universal Widget API offers a powerful framework for Web widgets development - not only for Netvibes widgets, but also for many other environments. With UWA, you only need one API to build widgets for a host of platforms: Netvibes, iGoogle, Vista, Apple Dashboard, Live.com, Opera, etc.

Other Netvibes APIs

Netvibes opens its data through publicly available APIs. There are two Netvibes APIs for now:

  • REST API: retrieve information from a Netvibes account, such as tabs, widgets, timeline, etc.
  • Ecosystem API: send search requests to the Ecosystem.
