One of the exciting parts about our APIs at Rapleaf is seeing what creative tools and applications other developers are building with them.
Daniel Thomas has taken the initiative to build Rapleaf 4 Thunderbird - a simple plugin using our Person API. It allows you to learn more about the people in your inbox (via their online memberships). Thunderbird is a desktop email client and in using our API, the plugin displays links to a person’s online profiles in your incoming email.
It’s free to download and install. Once installed, you will need to register for a Rapleaf API key and input that into your plugin preferences. From there, you’re off and running. Daniel has posted full instructions on his site.
To download the beta version of Rapleaf 4 Thunderbird, you may go to the following link:

Thanks Daniel for building this!

@Jafo2: That’s a great idea and something we’ve looked into. Of course, it would be really easy for any developer to build something like that on their own with our API!
