Dropcash API
There are many ways to interact with the Dropcash system without connecting to it directly with a browser. The official Dropcash API is currently being worked on, however a few people have taken advantage of our XML feed to build their own language and platform specific plugins.

David Raynes wrote an very nice plugin for MovableType: http://wiki.rayners.org/plugins/DropCash.
