If you’re here, it’s most likely because you’re searching for a viable way to get data from the Xbox LIVE service offered by Xbox and Microsoft. My Xbox API project is a result of that search, of which I could not find a solution for.

So, I decided to figure out for myself how to go about getting this information in a way that allowed me to not only get simple profile information, but games and achievements as well. Along the way, I also figured out that I could retrieve friends’ lists.

The API is designed to be read-only, but a method is in development that will allow you to send messages to other Xbox LIVE players via a POST request. That update will be coinciding with the Version 2.0 Release. You can read more documentation on the API by going here.
