Which popular websites out there support an HTTP based API?

I am looking for content of general public interest (hence, Amazon's RESTful API wouldn't qualify, for example).

Some sites which I am aware of:

Please note that

  • Although not a direct programming question, it will help programmers find some inspiration for new projects

YQL is a great data source for mashups too.

The site (with blog) "Programmable Web" collects sites, apis and howtos to create mash-ups.

You can search by programming language, protocols, wether you want something with JSON or SOAP and so on and check out existing mash-ups.

That looks exhaustive. Thanks!
