Our API directory now includes 453 search APIs. The newest is the Automatton Instant Answers API. The most popular, in terms of mashups, is the eBay API. We list 220 eBay mashups. Below you’ll find some more stats from the directory, including the entire list of search APIs.
Life on the web is full of search terms and human filtering. Even good results often require some effort to determine which has the information we seek. There are several services attempting to help with this problem and they’re making their applications available via API.
This week we had 30 new APIs added to our API directory. We continue seeing a lot of growth in new APIs this year and it brings our total size of our directory to 1921 APIs. Some of the most interesting new entries include a UK postal address lookup API, and API to convert IP to timezone, and a realtime feed search API.
Factery is a search API with a twist. Instead of links, it returns facts. Actually, it returns links, too. But the real interesting stuff is that it extracts the sentence or two that best answers a user’s search.
