i have many documents need to be translate,so i want to know is there some frequency limitation for this api,i didn't found any relevent information,any advice is welcome
im not 100% sure but i know the soap api has a 1000 calls perday limitation i would assume the ajax api has something similar applied to it but again im not 100% sure on that

I'm looking to make a hobbie website using the steam API, mostly focusing on the actual products and not really any user info. According to an article by the man behind Steamspy, Valve decided to change their API sometime in 2018, removing a lot of relevant data related to the store.
I went through the steamworks documentation and the closest thing to any specific information about the applications/games were in:
https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/webapi/ISteamApps -
I figured their API must offer more than just a list of all the apps and their ID's, but thus far I have only found some other API:s.
https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/User:RJackson/StorefrontAPI
Seems to be popular in a lot of threads
https://steamapi.xpaw.me/#ISteamApps
Some kind of collection of APIs?
https://github.com/Autarc/steam-store/blob/master/README.md
Not sure if this is still usable?
https://steamspy.com/api.php
Question: If I want the name, ID, genre/tags and picture of a game (and potentially price), is really the only way to use these non-valve related API:s? Or have I missed something in Valves own API documentation?
I'm super new to API:s so please forgive my insolence, I did search a ton of threads but seeing as the API changed I'm not sure which answers still are up to date in 2020.
The storefront API is still up-to-date and should give you what you need, mostly.
There is no API for game tags. You have to get the directly from the store pages or from any of the third party API providers if they have them.

No, you have not missed anything. Yes you need to use unoffical APIs. Compared to other gaming stores you still get more data on Steam than anywhere else.
I am afraid the last answer is not fully true.
You can get tags as categories or genres through api eg.https://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails/?appids=306480
Is their a way to implement either sky.com, bt.com or bbc.com's weather and/or news API into our website ?
If so can you please explain how to do this and its not going to be used to make money its purpose is to allow our visitors to see the latest weather and news updates
Our site can support basic html shtml htm etc and .jsp .php 5.3 and mysql
Thanks for any help/advice in advance
I have already tried various other apis like Yahoo! Weather but i cant get it to work because i need it to locate the user and display weather for their current location like the BBC, Sky and BT does
Metwit weather API,
You can implement them client-side: 200 request/day (ip based throttling) no authentication required. Worldwide coverage, JSON and REST compliant.
You can register for extra API calls for free and if you still need it to call them server side the basic plan is pretty cheap.
Full disclosure: I own this sweet piece of API.
Alexa's webpage provides bounce-rate ( defined as the percentage of visits to the site that consist of a single pageview). But I can't get the bounce-rate through the api.
Is it possible the api simply doesn't expose it outside?
[I've read alexa's api manual , and looked around the web, but no answers].
btw - If you have suggestions for other methods to get bounce rates, I'd appreciate them too!
Just in case anyone stumbles here: I ended up using SimilarWeb's API
... It's paid, but it's good!
I was wondering if i can use the PHP library of Brandom
http://viralpatel.net/blogs/demo/Twitter.class.php.txt
Instead of using the twitter API which has rate limit.
What about using this:
http:// twitter.com/users/show/'.$id.".$format";
Instead of this:
https:// api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show/'.$id.".$format";
The 2nd one uses the API. The first one...i guess it doesn't.
So... can i use the fist one for this same purpose?
THanks.
Reasons you might want to use Twitter API:
Well documented and easy to comprehend
Proper explanation for the caught exception
Most reliable and real time results
Many dimensions to extract the data
Active community that resolves the issues(bugs, confusions ..etc). Also as the developers are Twitter guys, nothing could be more reliable as they know their product better.
Last but not the least, very easy to use
As far as "Rate Limit" is concerned, it can be dealt using Streaming API.
I'm building an application that should query Google search very often. But i'm having trouble choosing which API i should use. There are so many of them - AJAX, REST, Web, SOAP, Custom and maybe something else. Some of them are deprecated now. From that list, from what i understand, only AJAX and Custom Search API are not. Custom Search API has 100 requests per day limit. Very small amount. I couldn't find any published limits for AJAX API, but it looks like i can do only 20 requests per hour or so. Also not so good.
So, which API should i use in desktop application to get as much as possible? And second question: what else i can do to increase the limit? Maybe set appropriate http headers, use API key or something else?
