Poll: What APIs do you consume most?

19 pointsjeremyrwelch34 comments

Interested in data on what APIs HN users build against most for an APIs related project.

If I'm missing an API that you use, comment (preferably with a link to the API docs) and I'll add it.

Thanks!

DOM API through Javascript =)

I find some interesting API from Mashape.

This is my favorite: http://www.mashape.com/component/BarCodeGenerator

Since you added PayPal, you might as well throw Braintree in there. It's pretty great. I've been happy using it for an app I'm working on. Oh, and Mailchimp's API, too. I have a feeling that this list is going to go on and on.

http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/

added both.

YQL - It's a bit of an API of APIs (if one can say that) http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/

I made a Drupal frontend module for it here: http://drupal.org/project/yql

I've actually switched from google to bing maps recently. Finding it easier to use and having more useful returns. I'm actually beginning to write a gem wrapper if anyone agrees and wants to contribute :) http://xjst.in/fUtWeW /shamelessplug>

But before that, twitter is most used for me.

Some love for Postmark?

POSIX.

OpenGL/CL.

Oh you meant /web/ APIs. As if Javascript is a language anyone really wants to program in. ;)

No love for grooveshark?

Wasn't aware they had an official API?
