It is my understanding that TED likely is not looking at making a BlackBerry App. I have a few frameworks I’ve created already for parsing various types of API’s/feeds/services and would like to know if there is a way for a third party developer to make a TED app. I’ve heard mention of an API via the Googles but cannot find it.
I know this is quite old, but I just came across it. I was searching for an API for TED Talks as well, but was unable to find one. They have announced that they’ll open up the site with an API, but I don’t know when.
Instead, I decided to use the XML RSS feed, which is easily parsable. It’s only usable for the latest talks and you naturally can’t do any server-side filtering, but if that’s good enough for you, you should definitely check out the feed:

There’s also the higher definition version of that feed:
