<p>Because I have been playing with Amazons web service, I was wondering if anyone else knew of any other good web services out there.<p />Specifically I am looking for UK based retail Web services like Amazon, a Tesco, Asda or Virgin etc one would be great. But any will do, I am finding it hard to find any decent easy to read resources on the Internet :) And that UDDI stuff, sheeeesh! :)<p />If anyone has any information on these can you post them in the comments. I would be greatful, I will report any findings as I see.<p />Retail<ul></p> <li> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html/102-2497589-1043300?_encoding=UTF8&node=3487571">Amazon</a>: Quite good but I might ask for some features</li> <li> <a href="http://developer.ebay.com/DevProgram/">Ebay</a>: Not too sure, don't really want to pay for it :)</li> </ul>Search Engines<ul> <li> <a href="http://developer.yahoo.net/">Yahoo</a>: Very good little REST API, I like it so far</li> <li> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/sdk/102-2497589-1043300?s=AlexaWebInfoService&v=1%2d0">Alexa</a>: Not tried it but it looks okay, I think it is based around the Amazon API</li> <li> <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/apis">Google</a>: Not Tried it yet.</li> </ul><p>Companies I would like to see publically available API's for</p><ul> <li>Tescos</li> <li>Asda</li> <li>Dixons</li> <li>Commet</li> <li>Game</li> <li>Waterstones</li> <li>Kelkoo: Not really a retailer, but I have some ideas</li> <li>Virgin Megastores</li> <li>HMV</li> <li>Easy Jet,</li> <li>Ryan Air</li> <li>Play.com</li> </ul><p>The list goes on.</p><p> </p>
