uBoost Announces New APIs and SDKs Available to All Web Publishers Looking to Boost Registrations, User Activity and Loyalty


uBoost, the nation’s premiere online recognition program, announced its API extension, allowing publishers, learning management systems, and online communities to increase attendance, logins, registration, participation, and user generated content, by delivering relevant feedback anywhere within their platform.

A variety of ready-to-use widgets can be customized and placed in a site to enhance user experience. The widgets are highly configurable making it easy to “theme” them to complement a site’s look and feel. Publishers can use the new APIs to pull badges, leaderboards and user profiles, into their existing user interfaces, giving maximum flexibility and control. Clients looking for an immediate solution to deliver feedback without extensive integration time can publish uBoost’s Flash-based widget as a footer to any web page. This widget displays leaderboard ranking, badges, and other profile information such as the user’s level and avatar. Clients can choose to award currency redeemable for items in their uBoost hosted custom catalog, accessible via a link in the widget.

“Our newly designed SDKs and APIs support small to medium sized web publishers that may not have the resources to deliver real-time feedback to their users,” says John Bower, CEO of uBoost. “User engagement through uBoost-powered positive feedback loops delivered through the widget results in dramatic increases in attendance, course completion, logins, on-time homework completion and student retention.”

A future release will leverage HTML 5 WebSockets, allowing real-time push notifications for badges, points, and other user activities.
