I want to write APIs for my rails 3.1 application but have never written an API ever. I am supposed to write REST and SOAP APIs. Is there a formal book or e-book or screencasts or tutorials which teaches about APIs in Rails and best practices?
have a look at Grape. It's a micro-framework to build REST apis, with a rails implementation example provided.
As for SOAP, don't know, but Savon seems fine.

Is there an equivalent to Django REST Framework in Laravel 5 on this subject? It would be nice if there was a tool that generates pages in which the client can navigate through the api tree and where I can test my api endpoints without writing front-end code for each of them.
Swagger will help you out here. It's not quite as automagical as what Django REST Framework gives you unfortunately and you have to write the documentation for your API endpoints yourself.
Here's a good introduction to working with Swagger in a Laravel app. You should also consider adding Swaggervel into your project as this takes out some of the leg work of tying Swagger support into your app.

Is there an easy way to generate docs for REST api direct from a Symfony project?
Sorry for the post digging, but there is a Symfony bundle to help API doc generation, you can check out NelmioApiDocBundle which interconnects well with FOSRestBundle.
The FOSRestBundle documentation provides sample bundles using both bundles to generate REST-ful web services and their documentation.

Is there a tool or an easy way to generate/maintain documentation of a rich RESTful JSON API?
I also would want to publish and maintain (as executable documentation) it, something like what relishapp provides. An example.
The application is Restful Ruby on Rails 3 application, tested using cucumber and R-Spec controller tests.
You say you have Cucumber tests already - they are your documentation. They may just need some work to be readable.
For output, you can use Cucumber's built-in HTML formatter.

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.
