Questions/Answers
Is there a free web API toaccess historic stock data?
I'm looking for a free web API to access historic stock data going back several years, if possible.
XLQ has a free 45 day trial. After that it is $74 for the "lite" version and $119 for the "plus" version. I've tried the program and it is really versatile and uses lots of freely available data on the web.
How to create your own webAPI?
I want to know how people are creating web API's. WEb API's such as the twitter API, the facebook API. How wold you create one and then use it? All i know is that XML is involved
These APIs generally use HTTP as their interface. More information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R epresentational_State_Transfer To create such an interface, you need some way of handling a HTTP request, and replying with a response containing relevant data (this can be plaintext, XML, or JSON). You'd need experience in web development to implement this. For instance, a request to http://examplesite.com/api/lat est/10 would need to query some data store for the latest 10 objects, and return a representation of this data in a response.
Is there a web API that checksif a web site is secure, freeof viruses, basically trustworthy?
As part of a service I am building, I am looking for a filter for outgoing links that checks if a specified URL is safe for a user to click. Both Google and Yahoo! search employ some techniques in this area, but probably they have some partnership with one of security companies such as Symantec or Mcafee. Anyone knows of a web service which does the same and is publicly available?
