You can already order a pizza via API :) http://hackfood.ordr.in

Interesting! Great idea, I think I'll hack on it a bit over the weekend.

Thanks! Would love to hear what you end up hacking on.

I'm taking a look at your API now. It seems like a lot of searches around my area (Boston MA) are turning up blank. Is there any information available on the availability of restaurants on the API in different areas?

Here's an undocumented API for 'The Nest' thermostat: http://www.wiredprairie.us/blog/index.php/archives/1442

A quick look at programmable web turns up this... https://xively.com/

Here's a documented API for the Radio Thermostat company's line of Wifi thermostats (such as the Filtrete 3M50)

The RT line isn't as pretty as the Nest, but it's way cheaper.

Carvoyant [1] makes a small device that plugs into your car's OBD2 port, and exposes the data through an API. It's somewhat similar to Automatic [2], but available now and has an API. I've got one in my car, but haven't had a chance to play around with the API yet.

The Model S has a basic, REST-ish API: https://github.com/timdorr/model-s-api

An API for general printing (e.g. business cards, letterheads, brochures, posters, etc.) is desperately needed. I can't seem to find any commercial printer that offers an API.

For business cards, stickers, greeting cards, labels, etc Moo has an API http://us.moo.com/api/

I haven't used the API but I've bought business cards from Moo and they were great.

Thank you so much. The API does seem quite complex (it looks like you need to go through dozens of steps to print). I wish they could take Stripe's approach and simplify it somewhat. This seems like a great opportunity for someone to disrupt this market.

infraprint.com just started one about two weeks ago. I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet but it looks like it has all the features that you might need.

I'm planning to use them to print and mail custom letters through the USPS for a credit repair site I'm building.

For credit repair, you'll need to do certified mail for certain requests. This is something we're getting ready to launch :-) Feel free to reach out (info in profile), if we can help.

This looks promising. Thank you!

I've been working on something like this with the printer I use at http://cheergram.com.

There are a few hurdles like dealing with large files and handling them when out of spec, but its definitely a good idea.

Hi there, Founder of TryPaper.com here, we handle some of the core printing & mailing processes all via API :)

Mmmmm white label pizza.
