This is an simple example about how to get data from templatemonster's webapi to your website while using PHP (only). Of course this is not the most common way but it works if the execution time is not the most important factor. Try the demo link and see how it works.

<?php
 // For more information: visit http://www.templatemonster.com/webapi/
 $num_records = 4; 

                            $aff_link = "http://www.all4yourwebsite.com/";
 $tm_url = "http://www.templatemonster.com/";
 $tm_url .= "webapi/templates_screenshots4.php";
 $param['last_added'] = "Yes"; // this value is case sensitive
 $param['full_path'] = "true";
 $param['order'] = "asc";

                            $param['sort_by'] = "date";
 $param['filter'] = "1";
 // add additional filters / parameters here

                            // building querystring from the parameters
 $qs = "?";

                            foreach ($param as $key => $val) {

                                $qs .= $key."=".$val."&";

                            }
 $qs = rtrim($qs, "&");
 // now get the records from the TM webapi
 $request_from = $tm_url.$qs;
 $all_rows = file($request_from);
 // now split the data for each row into an multi dim. array
 for ($i = 0; $i < $num_records; $i++) {

                                $data[$i] = explode("t", $all_rows[$i]);

                            }
 $t_row = "<div id="thumbs">n";

                            foreach ($data as $row) {

                                // read the information about more attr.

                                $id = $row[0];

                                $price = $row[1];

                                $all_images = explode(",", trim($row[15], "{}"));

                                $t_row .= "  <div class="thumb">n";

                                $t_row .= "    <div class="box">n";

                                foreach ($all_images as $img) {

                                    if (preg_match("/-m.jpg$/", $img)) {

                                        $thumb = $img;

                                    }

                                } 

                                $thumb_size = getimagesize($thumb);

                                $t_row .= "      <a href="".$aff_link."" target="_blank">";

                                $t_row .= "<img src="".$thumb."" ".$thumb_size[3]." border="0" alt="template no. ".$id."">n";

                                $t_row .= "</a>n";

                                $t_row .= "    </div>n";

                                $t_row .= "    <p>Price: $".$price."</p>n";

                                $t_row .= "  </div>n";

                            }
