Hi,
Andre Engels did some analysis of the type of API formats used. The
data is from a single random Sunday in late 2011:
1997267 application/json
314285 text/xml
171259 -
68358 application/vnd.php.serialized
55549 text/html
34680 text/javascript
8907 application/x-www-form-urlencoded
8882 application/xml
807 application/rsd+xml
467 text/text
105 application/x-www-form-urlencoded;
18 application/yaml
1 multipart/form-data;
yaml is used for the query and parse API actions. On this particular
day, the following services used yaml:

corporama.com
reftag.appspot.com
Thank you Andre!
Best,
Diederik
