Ask HN: Favorite API

What's your favorite API to develop with?

To start with some low-hanging fruit: I love Twilio; it's dead simple to use and tons of fun to work with.

Did sendgrid redo their API or something? I developed with that about a year ago and remember thinking it was among the worst APIs (though not THE worst) I'd ever had to work with.

well, I've worked with their SMTP API only and never encountered a problem.

I've never had a problem with SendGrid, absolutely love their SMTP and Parse APIs!

LAST.FM : http://www.last.fm/api Not an elegant/clean API, but the results are amazing. I've build some really fun personal apps with it.
