  I wonder if this could lead to a http://www.theyworkforyou.com/ http://www.theyworkforyou.com/ for Europe

    "We will enter the API to the Open Data Challenge contest: http://opendatachallenge.org/ http://opendatachallenge.org/ - and you can use it to make your own entries to the contest if you want (29 days left)."

    Anyone know if there is a website like this for the US?

    I think what you might be looking for is something similar to http://itsyourparliament.eu/ http://itsyourparliament.eu/ created by the same guys i believe?

  "As a start we are giving away 50 API keys for the ones interested. The limitations on the number of API keys is to make sure we have enough resources to serve our users. Should the demand exceed this we will have to look into scaling our solution."

  Slightly tangential, but Eurostat maintains some useful data also on EU members. Could be a useful data point if you are going after a European market with your killer startup idea. It is two years out of date however. Stuff will have changed since then, especially in the likes of the PIIGS countries.

  Disappointingly, the API appears to be read-only.

    In what way would you make this API writable? Basically its a collection/interface to two major databases containing legislative data from the European union.
