When is the API coming? I can see us using this quite a bit.

The API is already available although we haven't announced it. There is a WordPress plugin that uses it, called TagMahal.
Please contact us if you'd like to use the API, if you need to do up to 5k queries per day or so it shouldn't have much of an impact on our server.
The main problem is not the algorithm but the input data. Our system learns from millions of tagged blog posts among other sources. The quality of the tags varies a lot, and most of the work we do is about deciding what data to use for training.
