Is there an API which can be used to get data about what happened On this day in history .
Like the wikipedia home page shows On this day these events happened in history and these are the birthdays today ?
Wikipedia produces this data based on the extensive data and tagging of articles etc in its DB. Your best bet is probably going to be to scrape a wiki page that shows this.
Note: Don't fall foul of copyrights etc ! - There I said it. Can't get sued now!
Update 2021:
As mentioned by #sagun-raj-lage, it looks like there is now an API you can use officially, with an endpoint for onthisday: see https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#/Feed/onThisDay

I have built an extremly small website for fun for the past couple weeks. But after 1 week I put it on the shared host, there is still no Google search result for my site.
Actually, Google has indexed my site's home page which I uploaded 3 weeks ago for test purpose and is always displaying that "test page" when my domain name is searched.
I know Google and other search engine cache data for a reason, but how long will the cache last until next time they crawl my site?
Apparently, my website mymsdn.info is now totally different from the one Google collects.
The information you are looking for can be found here.
If you have any other questions or need more explanation please let me know.

I have correctly inserted all required snippets needed in order to have star ratings and other info show up on google results. After double checking the Google Structured Data Testing Tool to make sure Google could properly sequence and extract itemprop data from my site, I am still seeing google results without ratings. Any ideas?
Expanded data is shown only if your search result is deemed to be relevant. Note that Google spiders will take some time to reindex your web site. Check in a week or two. You can use the Webmaster Tools to have some feedback about indexing.

I have a couple websites on separate servers and IP's that link back with anchor text and all (dofollow), but my webmasters tools dashboard is always missing these links.
Any way to get around this?
Just typical HTML link back to the web design company I run.

The last cache date of the website you listed was September 12, 2012. Your link wasn't on the page then:

I need to know how stackoverflow's questiones appear on google search result very fast I know what are points google consider to rank some title but I think the architecture of design is important because they appear very fast after some minutes I ask a question and I have been seen it in google result just in a minute. what is the secret ?
Is there any relation between asp.net-mvc web application with that or not asp.net application could be fast in google result.
This Pro Webmasters questions covers this. It basically boils down to having lots of fresh content and quality links.

I am creating a pricing program. I need to calculate the amounts according to the current tax list in the US (in various places).
I want to have a button 'Update taxes' in the administrative settings of the application, so when the user clicks it, it should download from somewhere the active tax amounts.
So I actually want to have a function decimal GetTax(string zip).
Does anyone knows about a free downloadable xml, or RSS accessible or even a website that I can crawle in and get this info from?
There are a number of third-party solutions out there. Here is one:
