Gatorpeeps API overview
Afrigator has modeled the Gatorpeeps API off the Twitter and Laconica API for easier integration. Any application that supports Laconica should in essence now support Gatorpeeps. Tools such as Twhirl, an Adobe AIR application for Linux, Windows and Mac, has Laconica support and as such Gatorpeeps can be used with this app.
