Here are the data-related API's I wish existed: 1. Indeed.com - analytics on how many job ads mentioned a specific brand or keyword. 2. Yelp - analytics on how many checkins a restaurant or chain got every month. 3. Apple Store - analytics on how many downloads an app got every month. 4. Amazon Reviews - an API to retrieve reviews for a product. 5. Google Trends - API to retrieve historical trends for a keyword 6. Google Search API - API to get search results for a keyword 7. Linkedin Company Page API - API to get the feed for any company page 8. Instagram API - API to get the feed for any instagram user or search results for any keyword Here are the non-data API's I wished exist (that could be potential low-hanging fruit startup ideas): ....None

I think some of those already exist but I might be misunderstanding your needs. For example, here is the Amazon Reviews API: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/EX_RetrievingCustomerReviews.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/EX...

  That gives me the iframe URL. I want the actual review text. Amazon deprecated that back in 2010 or so making that API virtually useless.

You can query Google search using the Firefox search bar endpoint: https://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q=a+query https://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=fir... This returns an array of 10 of matches for the term in `q`. This is how the AnyComplete command for Hammerspoon works: https://github.com/nathancahill/Anycomplete https://github.com/nathancahill/Anycomplete

  This is an autocomplete API. How can I get the actual search results for the query?

  That is unbelievably fast response time. Is that how fast the internet is in the US?!

For #1, it's not an API, but you may find this interesting: https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/category-trends https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/category-trends
