We rely on the <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/08\/18\/the-internet-were-doing-it-wrong\/\">Stacks<\/a>. We rely on their servers. We don\u2019t have to. <\/p>\n<p>Decentralized syncing can change the way the Internet works, for good: creating efficiencies, hardcoding privacy, and ending infrastructure dependencies. <\/p>\n<p>Since we launched BitTorrent Sync (Resilio Sync), we\u2019ve seen more than a million people pick up the technology. And we\u2019ve seen Sync at work in <a href=\"https:\/\/resilioblog.wpengine.com\/category\/usecases\">countless awesome and unpredictable ways<\/a>: powering free speech projects, backing new blogging platforms, and improving team workflows. This is the Internet&#8217;s next wave of innovation. In partnership with the dev community, we want to build it. <\/p>\n<p>Today, we\u2019re releasing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resilio.com\/api\/\">BitTorrent Sync Beta API<\/a>. The new API will allow developers to create distributed social media, communications, and enterprise apps on top of the platform. It\u2019s designed to work across major operating systems; including Windows, Mac, and Linux. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Key features available to developers through the API:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Support for syncing selected files only:<\/em> developers can choose whether to sync specific items, or entire folders<\/p>\n<p><em>UI-less mode:<\/em> the new API allows developers to seamlessly integrate Sync (and all its functionality), without having to use the default UI. <\/p>\n<p><em>Encryption Secrets:<\/em> these new secrets make it possible to store an encrypted copy of all your folders on a remote server, so you can build a private cloud. <\/p>\n<p>Test out the API, and let us know what you think. We&#8217;ve set up a <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.resilio.com\/forum\/106-developers\/\">developer forum<\/a> to keep the conversation going, and to help answer any questions you might have along the way. Select developer initiatives will be supported by the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.bittorrent.com\/category\/labs\/\">BitTorrent Acceleration Program<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.resilio.com\/api\/\">Sign up to start using the Sync API.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Happy coding,<\/p>\n<p>The BitTorrent Sync Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data centralization has become the issue of our Internet age: the right (the wrong) of governments and corporations to store, sell, and spy on citizen data.
