For developers, APIs unlock the combined power of the collective intelligence that is the internet.

What are the most powerful APIs you have encountered?

Flickrs API still hasn't been beaten and it was one of the original APIs ever released. Frankly I thinks it embarrassing for us as an industry that it's still one of the simplest and best APIs I've ever used.
