README.txt in API Tokens 7

-- SUMMARY --

The API Tokens module provides an input filter that allows to replace custom
parametric tokens with rendered content. Each declared token binds to its
handler function, that returns content, token will be replaced with. Token may
contain parameters that will be passed to its handler function.

For example, you can declare a token which will render a current date on each
page reload as follows:
  [api:date/],
or render blocks:
  [api:block["module", "delta"]/],
or even views:
  [api:view["view_name", "display_id"]/] - without arguments
  [api:view["view_name", "display_id", ["arg1", "arg2"]]/] - with arguments.

Each module is able to define its own parametric tokens and corresponding
render functions. Module provides flexible caching mechanism.

Since API tokens accept parameters, it is highly advisable to add all required
checks to your render functions to avoid performance impact and fatal errors.

Note that API Tokens module does not provide any visible functions to the user
on its own, it just provides handling services for other modules.
