Ask HN: What API would you pay for?

13 pointsby groundpepperalmost 4 years ago
That either doesn’t exist or isn’t currently well implemented, as far as you know.

I&#x27;m working on something that just generates descriptions for stuff. e.g. a cheeseburger or potato:<p><pre><code> A cheeseburger is a delicious food enjoyed by many people. It consists of a bun, cheese, and meat. The meat is typically beef, but can be turkey, chicken, or other meats. To make the burger juicier, some people may add lettuce, tomato, or onion. The center of the potato is flat and dry. The skin of the potato is thin and dry as well, cracking and peeling in some places. The surface is dirty and there are some dark spots on it. There are two small sprouts growing out of the bottom of the potato. </code></pre> Well technically I literally am paying for it via OpenAI&#x27;s API, but the purpose is to get descriptions.

a dark sky clone<p>Apple bought Dark Sky and closed the api for new devs. Supposedly they&#x27;ll shut down the api next year for existing customers. If that happens, there are a bunch of sites&#x2F;apps that would love to swap out their connection string to a similar service.

I&#x27;d pay for services and expect a good API to be part of the deal

APIs to access bank account details would be really handy

&gt; <i>What API would you pay for?</i><p>One where I can submit a British Columbia license plate and get back a name and address.
