Interesting- we are starting to see more and more APIs that interface with real physical objects. Is this the new advent of APIs?
Am i going to be able to purchase a pizza delivery whilst printing a shirt and having my car unlock for the car wash guy all from my phone as I'm heading home.
What other real life APIs are there available atm?
- shakes 13y agoYou can already order a pizza via API :) http://hackfood.ordr.in http://hackfood.ordr.in Disclaimer: I work at Ordr.in.
- RKoutnik 13y agoInteresting! Great idea, I think I'll hack on it a bit over the weekend.
- shakes 13y agoThanks! Would love to hear what you end up hacking on.
- austingulati 13y agoI'm taking a look at your API now. It seems like a lot of searches around my area (Boston MA) are turning up blank. Is there any information available on the availability of restaurants on the API in different areas?
- rahim 13y agoCarvoyant [1] makes a small device that plugs into your car's OBD2 port, and exposes the data through an API. It's somewhat similar to Automatic [2], but available now and has an API. I've got one in my car, but haven't had a chance to play around with the API yet. [1] http://www.carvoyant.com http://www.carvoyant.com [2] http://www.automatic.com http://www.automatic.com

- joezydeco 13y agoHere's a documented API for the Radio Thermostat company's line of Wifi thermostats (such as the Filtrete 3M50) http://radiothermostat.com/documents/RTCOA%20WiFI%20API%20V1_0R3.pdf http://radiothermostat.com/documents/RTCOA%20WiFI%20API%20V1... The RT line isn't as pretty as the Nest, but it's way cheaper.
- timdorr 13y agoThe Model S has a basic, REST-ish API: https://github.com/timdorr/model-s-api https://github.com/timdorr/model-s-api
- jarcoal 13y agoMmmmm white label pizza.
- jumanji89 13y agoAn API for general printing (e.g. business cards, letterheads, brochures, posters, etc.) is desperately needed. I can't seem to find any commercial printer that offers an API.
- arkem 13y agoFor business cards, stickers, greeting cards, labels, etc Moo has an API http://us.moo.com/api/ http://us.moo.com/api/ I haven't used the API but I've bought business cards from Moo and they were great.
- jumanji89 13y agoThank you so much. The API does seem quite complex (it looks like you need to go through dozens of steps to print). I wish they could take Stripe's approach and simplify it somewhat. This seems like a great opportunity for someone to disrupt this market.

- deftnerd 13y agoinfraprint.com just started one about two weeks ago. I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet but it looks like it has all the features that you might need. I'm planning to use them to print and mail custom letters through the USPS for a credit repair site I'm building.
