Ask HN: What's your favourite API?

Stripe and Mailgun and Twitter are some of the best documented, clearest to use APIs.

The Google Maps API i can usually get cool stuff happening with quickly.

My favorites overall are probably Sunlight labs APIs though: http://services.sunlightlabs.com/

I still think the Amazon S3 API is really nice.
