Interesting Web Services / Web Service Directories?
January 29th, 2007
Andrew Trice has an interesting post/example using data from StrikeIron. As he mentions, their Super Data Pack (free up to 10,000 hits/month) offers lots of interesting data:
- US Census data by zip code
- Historical currency exchange rates
- Historical prime interest rates
- Airport statistics
- Biodeisel stations
- And much more…
Their paid web services include an SMS message sending service, a postal address verification service, and others.
StrikeIron also publishes a Global Directory which lists over 1000 web services offered by themselves and others. This made me wonder what other web service directories are out there. A quick Google search found these:
Also, ProgrammableWeb.com‘s listing of APIs includes web services and lots of other great resources.
What are your favorite web services and/or directories?
Do they have a crossdomain.xml file, so that we can access them from Flex without a proxy?
