Our API directory now includes 195 science APIs. The newest is the AnnotQTL API. The most popular, in terms of mashups, is the NCBI Entrez API. We list 4 NCBI Entrez mashups. Below you’ll find some more stats from the directory, including the entire list of science APIs.

In terms of the technical details, SOAP and XML lead the way. There are 116 science SOAP APIs and 101 science REST APIs. Our directory lists 175 science XML APIs and 39 science JSON APIs.

The most common tags within science are 58 bioinformatics science APIs, 44 genetics science APIs and 35 reference science APIs.

On the mashup side, we list 66 science mashups. We named ReaderMeter as mashup of the day in September 2010.
