What's your status on an API for trading and market data? I assume it will be available eventually, but you should release it as soon as possible to give developmers of trading utilities and bots a headstart, so they can use the beta site to test their own tools/products and have them ready when you go into production.
They do have an API, but no official docs yet. Here's some unofficial documentation that they sent me last week. Note that this isn't final and also doesn't cover any of the trading functions. Should give you some idea of how it will work though (similar to Gox and other exchanges out there now)

API:
Public methods can use either GET or POST
Private methods must use POST and be set up as follows:
HTTP header: API-Key = API key API-Sign = Message signature using HMAC-SHA512 of the URI path and POST data and base64 decoded secret API key
POST data: nonce = always increasing unsigned 64 bit integer
Note: There is no way to reset the nonce to a lower value so be sure to use a nonce generation method that won't generate numbers less than the previous nonce. A persistent counter or the current time in hundredths of a second precision or higher is suggested.
= pair name (ISO-4217-A3-X names) altname = alternate pair name (ISO-4217-A3 names) aclass-base = asset class of base component base = asset id of base component aclass-quote = asset class of quote component quote = asset id of quote component lot = lot size leverage = array of leverage amounts available
