CNET beta API: The initial dataset will include CNET’s full catalog of technology products and software titles.This is the same dataset that drives the highly trafficked sites of CNET Reviews, Shopper.com and Download.com. Over time, the API will add news articles, community content, blog posts and full product reviews. CNET introduced a REST API to allow users to tap into their rich content. At this time it is limited to the above sites but will be expanded into news, blogs and other community content.
