I'm guessing this info is privileged since I couldn't find anything on Google's listed APIs. In fact I'd be amazed if it wasn't proprietary securely fastened Google magic, but thought I'd ask anyway.
Is there an Google API for the information appearing when you do a basic search for say an Actress or Rockband? You know the box that appears to the right of the results if google figures out exactly what you're looking for. (I'm specifically interested in musicians despite the example below)
I.e.
https://www.google.com/search?q=woody+allen
I can get similar milage using Freebase, but Google's is always better. For example, It'll even pull upcoming events if it's a Musician, etc.
The Freebase Topic API contains the bulk of what you're looking for.
e.g. https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/topic/en/woody_allen

I use Google news API: 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/news?v=1.0&q=cow', but I have this message as a result:
'{"responseData": null, "responseDetails": "This API is no longer available.", "responseStatus": 403}'.
Is there a solution to use Google news API?
As an alternative API to search for aggregated news, you could consider Newsriver (https://newsriver.io). It's API allows to search for online news articles. Newsriver covers a large number of sources, it provides access to standardised structured news and comes with a extended search syntax based on Lucene query syntax.
You can also use gapi (https://gapi.xyz), the developpers basically recreated the same API but much simpler to use and it's totaly free. But you'll get a maximum of 20 results per requests. Anyway it is reasonable for a normal usage.

Google Play has Newsstand application (not available everywhere) - https://play.google.com/store/newsstand. It replaces older Currents application. It displays news/articles from many different websites/magazines/feeds.
Does any, official or unofficial, API exist, that would let me use those sources in my own application?
As far as official APIs go, unfortunately Google doesn't provide anything if their API Explorer is any indication. Google News used to have an API, but it was deprecated in 2011.
The closest thing to what I think you're looking for, assuming you want to stick with Google, would be the RSS output from Google News. You can pass an optional query parameter to search for specific topics. For example:
https://news.google.com/news?q=obama&output=rss
If you're looking for a similar service to Play Newsstand that offers an API, check out these:
Some individual sources offer APIs, such as the NYTimes and USA Today
Feedly has a nice-looking API, although I have never used it personally.
Good luck with your search!

Does anybody know if autotrader.com offers an API or something that would help with mass postings of vehicles?
Or does anybody have any idea of what to use to create something like this? I was thinking of maybe a mouse location and click over a browser window type of thing.
AutoTrader provides a bulk upload feature through a file feed process. The file runs through a set of processes to associate it with the proper listing tier (Premium, Feature or Standard) and in addition normalizes the information across vehicle make and models. This process runs several times daily and is being migrated to a near real-time solution for quicker add or updates.
I can find no documentation on it but I've come across this link which seems to provide a json response.

I'm looking for alternatives to Google Book Search API.
Ideally, something with more detailed information about books.
Try the RESTful API from ISBN DB http://isbndb.com/api/v2/docs
I have been using the API from the literature social network GoodReads https://www.goodreads.com/api
I find the results are a lot more relevant then Google Books because there relevance ordering takes a books popularity on the site into account. You don't get results like multiple versions of the same book or some obscure essay (this could be a plus or a minus depending on what you're doing).
However, the images are often missing and when they are there they are very low res!

Which popular websites out there support an HTTP based API?
I am looking for content of general public interest (hence, Amazon's RESTful API wouldn't qualify, for example).
Some sites which I am aware of:
Twitter
Netflix
Upcoming
Google
eBay
Please note that
Although not a direct programming question, it will help programmers find some inspiration for new projects
A similar question has been asked but didn't get many responses probably because it was very specific about being RESTful.
The site (with blog) "Programmable Web" collects sites, apis and howtos to create mash-ups.
You can search by programming language, protocols, wether you want something with JSON or SOAP and so on and check out existing mash-ups.
