Ask HN: What's your favourite API?
What web API do you find the most useful? Which one provides really good information or allows you to make amazing things happen?
- pdenya 14y agoStripe and Mailgun and Twitter are some of the best documented, clearest to use APIs. The Google Maps API i can usually get cool stuff happening with quickly. My favorites overall are probably Sunlight labs APIs though: http://services.sunlightlabs.com/ http://services.sunlightlabs.com/
- dholowiski 14y agoThe sunlight labs stuff looks cool.

- mrkmcknz 14y agoTwilio.
- mukundmohan 14y agoGoogle analytics API. We use it, have been for a few months and its excellent.
- garnaat 14y agoI still think the Amazon S3 API is really nice.
- johncoltrane 14y agoZencoder's api is solid and easy to work with.
- zashapiro 14y agoI don't think we've even scratched the surface of the things we can do with Twitter's API. After playing with tons of them, Twitter's potential to inform so many projects, publicly or privately, is huge. I love it.
