Public API for Public APIs

An application programming interface (API) is a source of third-party data web applications can access. A good example is a weather API; your dashboard application could connect to the API and input real-time weather information, which you can then display however you want. This specific service is an API that lists public APIs. You can see it at work in the Public APIs web page, which helps you search for APIs (or just browse through the entire list). The potential set of applications for education and development applications is limited only by your imagination. Some more examples: a job board aggregator, Associated Press, the laws of British Columbia, CORE database of open access research papers, GMail, and so on and on. Here's the GitHub for it, in case you want to build your own.
