Since 2006, google collects API programming interfaces in the Google Data (gdata)<\/b> project. At their website, you find links to google docs, calendar, spreadsheet, youtube, and more.<\/i><\/p>\n

It is a one-stop place to find interfaces for the various google services. For Semantic Web developers, it is also a good overview how google shapes its interfaces to its web-based applications. Get inspired by the pros.<\/p>\n

Especially the GData protocol and data format is worth a look. It’s a generic API for getting and querying data, based on RSS 2.0 and Atom.
\nIn the GData reference<\/a>, you find a description of the Atom extensions and a simple query-format extending it.<\/p>\n

Assuming a feed is hosted at the URI http:\/\/www.example.com\/feeds\/jo<\/a>, then elements within the feed can be queried with the following URI:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.example.com\/feeds\/jo?q=Darcy&updated-min=2005-04-19T15:30:00<\/a><\/p>\n

A kind of “easy going sparql”.<\/p>\n

In their own words:
\nThe Google data APIs provide a simple standard protocol for reading and writing data on the web.<\/p>\n

These APIs use either of two standard XML-based syndication formats: Atom or RSS. They also have a feed-publishing system that consists of the Atom publishing protocol plus some extensions (using Atom’s standard extension model) for handling queries.<\/p>\n

Many Google services support the Google data API protocol.<\/cite><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
