Welcome to WebAPI.org
First of all, what's WebAPI.org? It's a free website focused on Internet services available online from different providers, using different technologies and methods. This is a directory of such APIs, with script samples, links and reviews.
More and more companies offer web APIs for useful purposes, in order to expand their client base and enhance other developer applications. For them, it's just another method to bring new visitors or keep satisfied their clients. For users, is a good source of online service, many times for free. For developers, is a challenge to keep their applications up to date with latest technologies and more functionality.
There is not an easy definition of what Web APIs are, and even there are no standards for many solutions or W3C recommendations for them, but we still must know what they are and how to benefit using them. It's like integrating solutions from multiple companies in a dynamic and useful product. Results could be spectacular and can ease our work.
We'll try to offer here details on what a web API offers, how to use it, samples and links.
Web APIs are a very hot and dynamic topic, so, almost every week there are new solutions. We'll try to keep up to date as possible, but still there is no promise. Thanks for helping us with information, correction or comments.
