Enotify: REST API / remote XML feeds for New Posts / Private Messages
Mod Version: 0.1, by fci

enotify

Description
======
Retrieve information in XML about threads/private messages via a REST API

Install
======
1. Upload the files in the upload directory to the appropiate locations on your webserver
2. Import product-enotify.xml via 'Plugins & Products' -> 'Manage Products'

Configure
======
Go to vBulletin Options -> ENotify Settings

How to use
======

Remote users can login with:
http://domain/enotify.php?username=USERNAME&password=MD5_HASHED_PASSWORD

Without the username and password the user will see threads available to guests:
http://domain/enotify.php

If someone only wants to get a count of new private messages they've received:
http://domain/enotify.php?pm=1&username=USERNAME&password=MD5_HASHED_PASSWORD

If you have PHP5, you can use enotify_reader.php and follow the examples in there.
It is PHP5 specific because it uses the simplexml_load_string function.
Brief descriptions of useful methods enotify_reader.php
login = provide login information
get_threads = return array of new posts (includes thread title, date, created by)
get_pms = return array of unread pms (includes sender name, date, title)
unread_pms = returns total number of unread pm's

Future thoughts...

It'd probably be better if I used rss/atom
