Whether its a new e-commerce startup carving out its niche (e.g. Chirpify, Anedot), or an industry giant releasing new API capabilities (e.g. PayPal, MasterCard), e-commerce stories flood the headlines with new ways to transfer money across the web and on the go. However, Terapeak’s approach to e-commerce concentrates on behavior as opposed to money transfer. Terapeak has set the industry standard in e-commerce analytics and market research. Recently, Terapeak aimed to broaden its base and encourage deeper analysis with the new Terapeak API and Developer program.
Last week we attended Google’s developer conference, along with over 5,000 others. The company was so rife with announcements that many didn’t make it to the keynote stage. That was the case with just about all of the API updates, including a handful of impressive new features in the popular Google Maps API.
Our API directory now includes 146 location APIs. The newest is the LongLatToLocation API. The most popular, in terms of mashups, is the foursquare API. We list 86 foursquare mashups. Below you’ll find some more stats from the directory, including the entire list of location APIs.
Open data platform Factual continues its expansion into the local market. The new “monetize API,” as the company is calling it, helps connect developers–and their users–to coupons, table bookings and other referrals to local places.

Factual Inc, a company founded by ex-Googler Gil Elbaz that is creating a collaborative data platform, announced extensions to its Factual APIs today that are aimed at improving the ability to target advertising and provide other geo-based capabilities in mobile applications. The three new APIs, Geopulse, Reverse Geocoder, and World Geographies, fill gaps and extend the scope of Factual’s API portfolio. But the way that Factual thinks about its APIs also holds lessons for anyone who is mapping out an API strategy of their own.

Every day Foursquare users create millions of check-ins using the location-sharing platform. Those may be only a small fraction of the traffic seen by its API, which we’ve estimated receives at least 5 billion requests per month. The company continues to expand the local data made available via its API, so developers of all sorts are finding it a rich resource for building their apps.
