For at least thirty years, people have talked about the “paperless office.” With cloud-based services, it may finally be possible. Yet, for many organizations, a major hang-up is contracts, which require ink signatures. In our first public API report, sponsored by DocuSign, we looked at electronic signature platforms. Specifically, we examined the features and developer friendliness of e-signature APIs, which allow non-ink signatures to be automated and integrated into business processes. Without a doubt, e-signatures are a growing field, as evidenced by the recent acquisition of EchoSign by Adobe.

The Google APIs Discovery API is an innovative API description service that helps make sense of Google APIs. Anyone using this meta-API can find other Google APIs and see the options available from those APIs. And thanks to this new API, ProgrammableWeb has now added “Try It” functionality to several Google API profiles in our directory. Using Google’s Discovery API, we automatically retrive resources and methods from Google, with form fields created to accept input. Without leaving ProgrammableWeb, you can now check out select Google APIs like the Google Translate API.
ProgrammableWeb has seen tremendous growth, as we shot past 3,000 APIs in our directory. Our sponsors and partners enable us to have the top-notch writing and editing staff we do to maintain this growth. We’re pleased to offer you this chance to learn more about the companies that make our site possible.
Every day we select one new mashup to crown mashup of the day. It usually does something unique or uses a more obscure API. And it always gets interest across the web, being tweeted, blogged and tinkered with by our developer audience. We’d like to share some of the criteria we use to pick mashups of the day and invite you to submit your apps that make use of one or more APIs.
We strive to make ProgrammableWeb the leading resource for news, information and trends about the web as a platform. What makes our worldwide writing and editing staff possible is the support of our sponsors and partners. We are extra lucky that these great companies also have products and services of interest to our readers. We’re pleased to offer you this chance to learn more about the companies that make our site possible.
ProgrammableWeb has reached a major milestone by adding its 3,000th web service API to our API directory. We’ve come a long way when you consider there were only 105 listed at the end of 2005. As we’ve noted previously, the growth rate of APIs doubled, which led to an influx of new services. Below are some of the trends we’ve spotted as the directory marks a new high.
We’re proud and humbled that ProgrammableWeb is a valued resource for open API information and trends. We couldn’t continue to curate the directory without the help of our sponsors and partners. A big thanks for their support. Additionally, we know they have products and services of interest to our readers, so we’re pleased to offer you this chance to learn a bit more about the companies that make our site possible.
It’s a hefty goal to produce 100 applications in 100 days, but that’s the challenge being thrown down in a contest that aims to award a monetary prize for each of the 100 apps chosen. ProgrammableWeb is partnering with Alcatel-Lucent and Top Coder for 100 Apps in 100 Days, with $165,000 in prizes across four milestones between now and December.
