I'm really curious, who do you look for mash-ups/API for your idea of mash-ups or composition of Web servicies?
1. Are you using API/service of one provider? For instance, Google provides more then 60 different APIs for its products within Google Code Labs. Amazon provides both services for clients/buyers, allowing to interact with its facilities regarding book selling, and basic services (data storage, message synchronization) for application development), both of them within Amazon Web Services. Yahoo! also exposes interface to its apps (Yahoo! Developer Network/ Yahoo! Web APIs). 2. Or maybe you're using specialized portals like this to find API/Web service? How many of you knows about such portals like ProgrammableWen or Seekda.com (for traditional SOAP/WSDL service)? What strategies do you have to find your Web service/mash-up/API? 3. Or, alternatively, you first try to find some interesting application on the net, and then you check whether it exposes any Web API? For instance, I've been recently looking for the online abbreviation dictionary and I've found Abbreviations.com very interfesting and useful. Moreover, it cames out it provides REST API, which allowed me to integrate the dictionary more easily with the rest of application. Otherwise, I should have used scapers/parser for the same purpose. Or maybe you have some other search strategies for APIs/Web service?
