Is there an API where I can search for a song, and then stream the preview of the song on my site?
Looked into Amazon MP3, but I can't seem to find an API for Amazon MP3.
Also looked into last.fm Track.Search api, but seems like the return value doesn't seem to give the actual filename. (i.e mp3 etc), which means I can't stream it on my site.
Please let me know if there are other different APIs I can use as well.
Thanks,
Tee
Hopefully you got sorted for this but just in case (and for future searchers)
EchoNest has a solid api with will give you 30 sec. track previews
for example:
http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/song/search?api_key=N6E4NIOVYMTHNDM8J&format=json&results=1&artist=radiohead&title=karma%20police&bucket=id:7digital-US&bucket=audio_summary&bucket=tracks
Just a note that it uses 7digital so only tracks in there catalogs will have previews
Here's the link to the 7digital public API for track search
http://developer.7digital.com/resources/api-docs/catalogue-api#track/search
and here's track preview:
http://developer.7digital.com/resources/api-docs/media-delivery-api#clip/{trackId}
You'll need to register for an API key here:
http://access.7digital.com/partnerprogram
*In the interests of full disclosure I'll mention that I work for 7digital.
Amazon Associates has a "widget" that allows you to play the sample clips from their extensive MP3 library. However, I can't speak as to how flexible or programmable it is... but at least the link will get you started.
itunes has a search api and preview and album art... they have restrictions (ie, you have to put the "buy on iTunes" badge linking to the song near the preview)...

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

Is there any API available from Monster to search job based on keyword, category, location, etc. I got the below link after some googling
http://xml.monster.com/doc/
But there is no specification about job search.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated..
As of the date that this question was initially asked, they did not have a public API.
At that point, there were Yahoo Pipes that use their RSS feed, though.
Here's a site that generates links to RSS feeds on Monster.com, since it doesn't seem like there are regular RSS links available after you do a search, as there are on Indeed & SimplyHired..
As of the initial date of posting, it may have been possible to generate RSS feed links through the advanced search feature on Monster.com, but only if you have an account, since then you can save searches. This was described in How to Use Monster to Find a Job.
See the answer by Pedro Pereira, below. It appears that they may have an API as of 2013.
For more on that, you could research their documentation.
There seems to be one. Check their soap box at:
http://integrations.monster.com/Toolkit/RealtimePosting/Sample/Inventory_Query/Jobs_All for an example on how to view all jobs. There is also a request JobPosting info http://integrations.monster.com/Toolkit/RealtimePosting/Sample/Queries/Get_JobPostingInfo .
With a combination you could get jobs and info I guess.
Monster provides an RSS Feed.
It's accessible through the Monster site's standard search.
Once you do the search you'll see the rss icon link in the header to the left of "Classic Search"
check out the Monster Developer Page

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.

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.
