Akismet API is a blog spam prevention service. Akismet is basically a very big machine that gathers all the data it possibly can, looking for patterns, and learning from its previous flaws and faults. And so far, it has been highly efficient in stopping spam in blogs and adopting new techniques and tries to avoid it. Only time will be able how it measure up. The Akismet api is fairly simple but a very powerful tool. Api interaction was designed to be as simple as possible. To interact with the Akismet api fully, the program should be prompt in gathering back data in to the system, likewise when when its taking the data out. You must employ a system where users can submit missed spams and false positives so that the api can learn from the previous mistake it did.
