This year the Burning Man organization is assisting with the launch of an API. With the API you get access to descriptions and locations of the Streets, Art, Camps and Events. When combined with a map this is everything you need for a local city guide.

remoteobjects are real subclassable Python objects on which you can build a rich API library. remoteobjects provides easy coding and transfer between Python objects and a JSON REST API. You can define the resources in a RESTful API as RemoteObject classes and their properties. These objects then support using the basic HTTP verbs to request and submit data to the API.

OpenStreetMap.org’s RESTful API allows anyone to access data on their continually growing collaborative map of the world… in XML. This is great for most applications, but if you’re working in JavaScript (as we are), XML might as well be greek. We need JSON.

The easiest way to understand how extensions work in Wave is to build a Wave robot. Robots are applications that interact with a Wave through the Wave protocol (HTTP interface).

Python already has tons of SQL-wrappers and ORMs and some are quite good. Nevertheless I started my own. Mainly to see if it is possible to implement the API used in Rails.

Sparrow is a library that provides a high-level API for RDF Databases. Any database the provides support for SPARQL Queries and has a triplestore that can handle contexts can be used as a backend.

The goal of Sparrow is to make sure all these different backends act the same, making it possible to change RDF Database backends without having to change your code.

Open Street Map - Static API (Early Development)

"Main idea of the project is to create an web application which will provide an easy way of embedding maps into web pages. Application is going to be deeply configurable and easy to install by anyone on his server. It is being implemented in PHP5.

What makes portions of the Wave API opaque is the parts where the developers gave into temptation and serialized internal state (inside-out) vs designing an API (outside-in).
