Interesting API's

They key to any mashup is an available API. In my research in thinking about different interesting Ifbyphone mashups I have run across a couple... Here is the list of some: Yahoo (http://developer.yahoo.com/) - They have a HUGE assortment of different API's to play with (and best of all they are free!). Some really interesting ideas would include traffic lookup, look up local information, etc. I actually used this to create a Yahoo Weather / Ifbyphone mashup. I will post the source code in the coming days... FlightAware (http://flightaware.com/commercial/flightxml/) - Some real potential here for creating live flight tracking capabilities using your phone. API is not free, however the price is very reasonable. FreshBooks (http://developers.freshbooks.com/overview/) - Using their service one could easily build an automated time in/time out application where a service worker could call a number, enter in the project & job ID, and then either clock in or clock out. StrikeIron (http://www.strikeiron.com) - Again, lots of API's to play around with including reverse lookup capabilities. Yelp! (http://www.yelp.com/developers) - Great for looking up local reviews on businesses. I am always interested in other API's out there that could create fun/useful applications. If you come across some, please share! __________________ -Phil Seguin pseguin@ifbyphone.com

The list includes APIs for web services such as online advertising, blogging, calendars, financial sites, maps, music, news, reference, shopping and more.
