70 New APIs: Google Affiliate Network, Visual Search and Mobile App Sales Tracking by Wendell Santos.
In a post dated 18 December 2011, ProgrammableWeb reports:
This week we had 70 new APIs added to our API directory including an audio fingerprinting service, sentiment analysis and analytics service, affiliate marketing network, mobile app sales tracking service, visual search service and an eCommerce service. In addition we covered a “mobile engagement” platform adding revenue analytics to their service. Below are more details on each of these new APIs.
I have a question: ProgrammableWeb lists 4657 APIs (as of 22 December 2011, about 6:30 PM East Coast time) with six (6) filters, Keywords, Category, Company, Protocols/Styles, Data Format, Date, Managed By. How easy/hard is that to use? Care to guess where the break point will come in terms of ease of use?
For example, choosing “government” as a category, results in 154 APIs. A result that is a very uneven listing from Liepzig city data to Brazilian election candidate information to words used in the U.S. Congress. Minimal organization by country would be nice.
