As an early user of blockspring I was excited to login and add another one of my APIs (bitcoin related) that would be perfect for having in spreadsheets. Unfortunately I couldn't find any obvious way to add an API. Naturally I hacked it by going to one of my existing APIs (thanks google, I couldn't find a URL from the UI otherwise) and cloning it. Here's the UI of the create API page[1] for anyone who's interested.

Edit: You can create new APIs on blockspring by going directly to a route[2] which still works. I saw Alexa had an API but it needed authentication credentials, and since I already had found Alexa's undocumented API[3] I added it to blockspring[4] just for fun.
