A murder in New York is twice as likely to occur at night. And thankfully, we’ve just finished June, which statistically has slightly more murders than other months. For more, the New York Times has a created a rich mashup to keep you up to date.
No sooner had we seen a record number of APIs used in a single week last week, than this week we now saw 53 different APIs used to build the 22 new mashups were add to our mashup directory this past week. Some of the newer or less frequently seen APIs include Amplify, AOL Video [...]
This past week 27 new mashups were add to our mashup directory and 45 different APIs were used to build them (certainly the most number of APIs we’ve seen used in a single week). Some of the newer or less frequently seen APIs include Amazon Fulfillment Web Service, Amazon Queue Service, Best Buy Remix, Billboard, New York Times Movie Reviews, ViaMichelin. The most frequently used types of APIs were Mapping (7 APIs, 18 mashups), Search (5 APIs, 8 mashups), and Video (4 APIs, 8 mashups) and the most often used APIs this week are Flickr, Google Maps, and YouTube. The list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
Developers have seen the value of mapping APIs. Look no further than our list of map mashups for proof that there’s a lot of value in maps to visualize location data. But how useful are web maps to a humanitarian organization? When you’re working in more than 30 countries, as MercyCorps is, perhaps the answer is obvious.
This past week 22 new mashups were add to our mashup directory and 35 different APIs were used to build them. Some interesting or less frequently used APIs that were mashed-up this week include lyrics APIs like Lyricsfly and LyricWiki; lots of e-commerce APIs like Oodle, PriceGrabber, CNET, Yahoo Shopping, Shopping.com, and Shopzilla; messaging and telephony APIs like Skype and Twilio; as well as plenty of Google APIs including Google Translate. The list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
What API was used most often in the mashups added on ProgrammableWeb? Once again, it was the Twitter API, used in 9 of the 19 mashups added. Overall, 18 different APIs were used to build the newest mashups. New or less often seen APIs used include the pho.to API, TwitPic API, Tagalus API, and Yelp API. The list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
This week saw the widest range of APIs being used to develop mashups we’ve seen in awhile: 42 different APIs used in 7 days. Of those new apps added to our mashup directory, only a handful were map mashups, whereas most of them used more unique APIs: Google Chart API, indeed API, Livekick API, MTV API, NPR API, Tagalus API, TwitPic API, uClassify API, Vimeo API, and the Yelp API. Also, given that within the last 24 hours the highly anticipated Wolfram|Alpha search engine and structured reference went live, we did happen to see a number of semantic and linked-data APIs used this week: Reuters Calais API, DBpedia API, and Freebase API (and we’ve just added a profile for the Wolfram|Alpha API). The list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
How many APIs did it take to build the 18 new mashups added to our mashup directory? It took 37 different APIs. Some of the less often seen, unique, and newer APIs used include: Alexa Top Sites API, Bit.ly API, Calais API, Cligs API, DocuSign Enterprise API, Freebase API, idiomag music API, and New York Times Best Sellers API. The full list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
33 different APIs were used to build this week’s new mashups on ProgrammableWeb. For the third week in a row, the two most used APIs where the Twitter API and the Google Maps API. Some mashups used APIs that were newer or less frequently seen, including APIs from Bible Gateway, Blogama, Panoramio, and the New York Times Movie Reviews. One prominent theme was music, with mashups that used APIs from Blip.fm, Last.fm, LyricWiki, and MTV. The list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
What do you get when you combine 36 different APIs into 28 different applications? You get this week’s additions to our mashup directory. Some of the less frequently seen APIs include Freebase, Capitol Words, MTV, as well as DigitalBucket. Which API was used most? It was the Twitter API, used in 10 mashups this week. And in yet another example of one API being built on top of another API is the TwitPic API, a Twitter-based service, used in this week’s twipick entry. The list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
