\nThe Facebook developer\u00a0portal is invaluable\u00a0for when you\u2019re trying to find\u00a0the hidden gems of the API\u00a0and test them out in the wide\u00a0range of tools they off er. It is\u00a0also the place where you can\u00a0get that all-important API key\u00a0that will allow you to connect\u00a0to the API from your site.<\/p>\n

\nThe Google+ API is the programming interface to Google+. You can use the API to integrate your app or website with Google+. This enables users to connect with each other for maximum engagement using Google+ features from within your application.<\/p>\n

\nAll the documentation you\u00a0need for the Twitter API,\u00a0although there are a few holes\u00a0in it, so some guesswork is\u00a0required. The in-depth stuff is\u00a0covered, as well as the more\u00a0simple tasks, such as adding\u00a0Tweet and Follow buttons\u00a0to your website, on top of\u00a0embedding Twitter Cards.<\/p>\n

\nThe Pinterest Developers Platform is a suite of tools that help you reach Pinners in new ways. Right now, there are 3 ways to use the platform to increase your reach: through the API, add-ons and Rich Pins.\u00a0Pinterest API lets you access users’ Pinterest data, like their boards, Pins, followers and more. The Pinterest API uses OAUTH and allows both read and write permissions when interacting with a user’s content.<\/p>\n

\nIf you are more interested\u00a0in the business side of APIs,\u00a0make sure you have a look at\u00a0the LinkedIn documentation.\u00a0Here you will be able to pull\u00a0down user data relating to\u00a0their employment history.\u00a0This is useful if you want to\u00a0pre-populate job application\u00a0forms on your website.<\/p>\n

\nWith over 5 billion photos (many with valuable metadata such as tags, geolocation, and Exif data), the Flickr community creates wonderfully rich data. The Flickr API is how you can access that data. In fact, almost all the functionality that runs flickr is available through the API. And the API is completely free to use, as a service to our members as well as developers and other integrator, so they can create even more ways to interact with photos beyond flickr.<\/p>\n
\ninstagram.com\/developer<\/span>
\nThis site features\u00a0documentation for all the\u00a0standard API stuff , as well as\u00a0iPhone-specific hooks that\u00a0allow you to open Instagram\u00a0images in the app, rather than\u00a0a standard browser. It also\u00a0features some pretty cool\u00a0documentation related to\u00a0real-time interaction.<\/p>\n
