Google to Offer API

It goes on talking about SOAP and I think this is utterly cool."

    I'd assume that the API would be subject to a different set of terms and conditions than those for the main site. Given that it'll probably be a pay-for-use service (as another poster hinted at), it'd most certainly be that way.
