From their press release:

Online travel itinerary and trip planning service TripIt (www.tripit.com) today announced the availability of a new API (Application Programming Interface) for developers to create software applications that integrate with TripIt travel itineraries. The TripIt API is the travel industry’s first open API for sharing travel itinerary information between travel websites, travel suppliers, travel agents and related travel services. TripIt is an open travel platform that already supports bookings from more than 350 travel-related sites and works with partners including LinkedIn, Microsoft Windows Live and Sabre VirtuallyThere. With the new TripIt API, any developer can now build an application that integrates with TripIt, including the first ones from Expens’d, FlightTrack and Where I’ve Been. Developers can access the TripIt API at www.tripit.com/developer.

This first version of the TripIt API enables applications to read, add or delete trip plans in TripIt, while allowing TripIt travelers to control how applications access and use their data. More details at www.tripit.com/developer.
