Of the many APIs we published this week, eleven were highlighted on the blog by our team of writers. In this post, we’ll shine a spotlight on those eleven, which included the OneID API. OneID aims to end the problem that many people have with too many usernames and passwords. It does so by combing a users security keys into one big, encrypted “blob.” Apparently this information is more secure than normal user authentication practices and is callable via the OneID API. Once a users information is in the blob, OneID authenticates a user when they are trying to log into a site by confirming three different digital signatures on different devices. To learn more about OneID functionality, visit the OneID site as well as the OneID API blog post.
OneID, founded by Steve Kirsch of Infoseek fame, has announced the OneID Javascript API. It promises a simple solution to a problem we all live with: too many usernames and passwords. OneID promises to eliminate the hassle. Documentation on the API summarizes the methods in the OneID API.
This week we had 50 new APIs added to our API directory including a mobile application advertising and monetization service, a webrtc video and audio services, a shipment tracking and notification service, an indoor mapping and commerce platform, a mobile application backend service, an unofficial transformice leaderboard and an online store for custom device covers. We also covered an API that changes the way payment processing works. Below are more details on each of these new APIs.
Twitter is prepping to release an API for advertising. Facebook Cuts Off Friend-Finding Access to Vine. Plus: Mag+ announces contest, the next generation of API discovery, and 4 new APIs.
