SmugMug's API

Developer Accounts

If you are building something for all SmugMug customers to use, we'll start you off with a free, full-featured Business account with all the bells and whistles for one year! If you continue to fully support your application, enhance it, and fix bugs, we'll make that account free even longer. Simply send an email to api@smugmug.com letting us know what your application will do, a link to it if it is already under development, and a link to some of your prior work.

Already have an account? Just include it in your email. Don't have an account yet? Do not start a trial; email us at the address above and we will get you set up.
