Thirteen APIs have been added to the ProgrammableWeb directory in categories including Weather, Financial and Contacts. Highlights include an API for hyper-local weather data, an API for adding satellite imagery to apps, and the Firebase ML Kit SDKs. Here’s a rundown of the latest additions.
Every day, the ProgrammableWeb team is busy, updating its three primary directories for APIs, clients (language-specific libraries or SDKs for consuming or providing APIs), and source code samples. If you have new APIs, clients, or source code examples to add to ProgrammableWeb’s directories, we offer forms (APIs, Clients, Source Code) for submitting them to our API research team. If there’s a listing in one of our directories that you’d like to claim as the owner, please contact us at editor@programmableweb.com.
Thirteen APIs have been added to the ProgrammableWeb directory in categories including Weather, Financial and Contacts. Highlights include an API for hyperlocal weather data and the ML Kit SDKs from Google/Firebase. Here’s a rundown of the latest additions.
APIs
SonicWeather provides unique hyper-local weather services. The SonicWeather APITrack this API integrates daily weather forecasts into applications, offering endpoints for rain, lightning detection, sunsets, rainbow probability, global temperature, frost probability, NexRad status, and the best time for cutting hay. APIs are free for commercial or private use if up to 10k calls per day. The SonicWeather API is listed under the Weather category.
Google Firebase provides tools to develop applications. The Firebase ML Kit APITrack this API offers indirect access to ML Kit iOS and Android SDKs. The SDKs allow users to apply machine learning technologies in mobile applications incorporating the Google Cloud Vision APITrack this API, TensorFlow Lite, and the Android Neural Networks APITrack this API. This technology arms mobile apps with text recognition, face detection, barcode scanning, image labeling and more. The API is listed in the Machine Learning category.
