Format Consistency

[TwinDevils]

While signing up for the various affiliate accounts that are available, I've noticed that they all have a unique way of formatting their content (image dimensions, video formats, methods of download, meta data, etc.) This creates quite a challenge for those that want to create a content management system that accepts a standard format.

Does anyone have a top 5 list of sponsor sites that actually adhere to a someone uniform format of content delivery?

Don't think there is, least I've not seen it.

We're build a database run system that accepts specific records, (i.e. thumbnail location, description, URL, etc.)

Some of the sponsors sites have all of the information we're looking for, some are missing critical pieces, like the thumbnail.

For me, this sounds like a CVS import tool that you can fid in most TGP scripts nowadays. Some even fetch pictures from the FHG and cache the picture at any size you want it.

True, not all supply descriptions, but why not build you're own DB from different sponsors where you add what you are missing. I highly doubt you get all sponsors to get "standarized"..
