I've spent the last hour searching for an official Google Voice API documentation but couldn't find anything but a bunch of API wrappers in (insert your favorite programming language here).
Does a documentation for Google Voice's API not exist?
If you're okay with JavaScript you can take a look at their chrome extension, it gives you good idea on how to hack something together. For instance I've found this: http://google.com/voice/request/messages it gives you a list of messages in JSON
http://google.com/voice/request/user gives you your contacts and your GV number
I don't believe Google has officially published an API yet.
You might want to refer to this post:
Is there a Google Voice API?
unofficial, but has instructions for various languages and how to do some straight http requests:
http://www.googlevoice.org/ (Web archive)
It's time to migrate off Google Voice for applications. On May 14, 2014, Google will break the old interface.

Google seems to be pushing Twilio as an alternative. Twilio will be available from AppEngine.

From what's evident on the WeChat Developer Site, there is a WeChat API for integrating "WeChat SDK with your iOS and Android apps".
Specifically, I am looking for a way to check to see whether two accounts are friends on WeChat (I have access to the login information for one of those, the other of which varies). Is there a Web API for me to do this with? I was thinking something along the lines of REST, JSON, etc., though I can't seem to find anything of this sort.
Perhaps you are looking for the Official Account Admin Platform. I'm not sure about the whole friendship status thing, but that's the closest thing I can find to a WeChat REST API.
I made a code snippet for a python API to read WeChat messages (in a django app)
It also explains how to make a developer account etc
code: https://github.com/tawanda/django-wechat
Summary
Create developer account
head over to http://admin.wechat.com/debug/sandbox
Click on Login
Scan the QR code
You should see the sandbox developer page now

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!

On the Youtube analytics page it states that "YouTube Analytics reports are generated using the same data that users are used to seeing in Insight, and much more."
(http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/static.py?hl=en&topic=1728599&guide=1714169&page=guide.cs)
However there a couple of metrics shown in there that I haven't been able to find through the youtube api, such as retention (hot spots), monetizable views, impressions, etc.
My questions are:
Do I need a brand page to access there features? (I guess so)
Will those metrics be available through an api?
I have been working on exactly the same issue. The basic answer is there is no API available yet, but I have been able to fudge a homebrew API using HTTPClient as a pretend browser.
A bit of firebugging got me these urls:
google.com/accounts/ClientLogin
youtube.com/signin?action_handle_signin=true&nomobiletemp=1&hl=en_US&next=%2F&pli=1&auth="+key
youtube.com/insight_proxy_csv?dim=DAY&ord=DAY&from=27122011&to=02012012&where=UN001&whatType=CHANNEL&whatId=userID
You'll have to play around and see what works for you but it is possible to extract the information programatically.
Cheers
Tom
It looks like this has been added in the 2.0 version of the YouTube API: https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_insight
New YouTube Analytics API was announced on June 27, 2012
An experimental release of the YouTube Analytics API is now publicly available: http://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics

Working on a movie website and would love to find an API that I could use to get information about different movies. I code in PHP but I'm assuming this would probably return XML.
I can recommend themoviedb.org. We have been using their API in an open source movie managing application with great success.
Quick google search returned this: Internet Video Archive Movie API. It seems to return XML data, so it could work for you.
EDIT: The link is down (thanks #Mutant), Wayback Machine has a backup.
For getting straight-up information about movies (for instance, basic genre and title information) the Amazon associates data works pretty good. There is the condition that the data be used primarily to drive traffic to Amazon, which is something to keep in mind.
There should be a PHP library already written that you can use: http://aws.amazon.com/associates/
Rotten Tomatoes has a free REST API (developer.rottentomatoes.com). The access keys are restricted to 10000 calls/day.

I'm thinking of creating a small offline blog editor for personal use and I don't know how do the APIs work. Where can I find this information?
I'm particularly looking for the most common providers: Blogger, Wordpress, MovableType, Live Spaces (not sure if this has an API) etc.
See the following links:
Blogger
Wordpress
Live Spaces
The Blogger API link you provided says:
This documentation is provided for
historical interest only. The Blogger
1.0 API is no longer supported and must not be used for new client
development. Please use our GData API
instead.
So the correct one probably is: http://code.google.com/apis/blogger/
Also, if more APIs are answered in this question, would you be kind enough to edit your answer to include them. Since I'm gonna vote it as the correct one.
Thank you.
