The world is awash in data and all you need to do is ask for it. Of course, you also need to ask in the right way, and in the world of software development, that means using an API. Given the right combination of XML and JSON, there are thousands of APIs ready, willing, and able to answer your queries.
This article showcases some of the most interesting and relevant APIs we could find, especially ones that support integration with AI technology. Surely, one of these has a place in your stack.
Zapier’s natural language actions
In the old days, most APIs were complex enough to come with an instruction manual. Now, Zapier AI Actions adds AI to the mix, so users can request API actions using “natural language.” The AI translates human language so you don’t need to fuss over strict syntax rules when asking for what you want. Is it more flexible? Yes. Could it produce something unexpected? We’ll soon find out. Tossing aside the rigid format of REST semantics has its perks. We’ll probably see more APIs integrating natural language processing in the future.
