April 11, 2002: Big News! Google Announces Web APIs

Today Google has finally announced their new Google Web APIs. There's also a google.public.web-apis group to discuss them. These APIs are important because they allow programmers to access Google information from programs and software. Hopefully we'll see a whole bunch of interesting tools using this data.

Ian MacDonald: Ruby/Google
Simon Willision: PHP Google API
SoapWare.org: Google API Implementations including AppleScript, C++, Frontier/Radio, Perl, PHP, Python and Visual Basic
Metafilter: Google opens SOAP interface
