VentureBeat: Search 2.8M articles with New York Times’ API

    API seems to be one another marketing tool. When you get lots of blog post about it and attention from techies you are supposed to be up with the changing time. Soon enough i will come up with Kitchen API to access the contents of my fridge.

    Cheers !!

    Hi Anil ...... Tesco (grocer in UK) announced an API a month or so ago. They are hoping to be in your fridge soon.....

    "By the way, The Times’ APIs were built by a San Francisco startup called Mashery." is not correct. Mashery is a startup that handles key generation and traffic throttling and that is the service they provide for the NY Times among other clients. But the APIs were built and maintained by the developers at the NY Times.

    Wow, that's a pretty bad misunderstanding or miscommunication, sorry about that. I'm trying to figure out how we crossed wires like that. Once I have my facts straight I will correct ASAP.

    Hi Anthony, great article! Yes, the NYTimes folks built their APIs themselves and we (Mashery) provides the infrastructure for key issuing, rate limiting, throttling, etc.

    A big congrats to the NYTimes dev team! They have done an amazing job with their API and they are breaking ground for the industry. It is fun to watch and to be a part of it!
