The Social Actions API is the ultimate resource for building web applications that help people find and share opportunities to make a difference. Our API contains up-to-date information about actions from 60+ sources. At any given time, our database has 80,000+ actions including volunteer opportunities, fundraisers, petitions, offline events, and more.

To build a web application that draws on the Social Actions API:

  1. Review the documentation for the Social Actions API.
  2. Join the Social Actions' Developer Google Group!
  3. Browse the directory of widgets, plugins, and tools that help people find and share actions.
  4. Go to the Social Actions Idea Hub for inspiration.
  5. Receive feedback for your idea by posting about it on My Social Actions.
  6. Let us know when you've completed your application so we can feature it (and make you famous!). Contact us.
