Google Releases Web APIs

Posted by Hemos on from the developing-with-google dept.

skunkeh writes "Google have released the first beta of their Web APIs package. Used in conjunction with a free license key this SOAP based web service allows developers to execute up to 1000 automated queries a day, but is currently available for non-commercial use only. The download comes with Java and .NET code examples and includes a WSDL description for use with other SOAP supporting languages." There's also a write up about uses on Userland.

    So Google is deploying a SOAP interface to a very large scale system. Anybody know what kind of software they have supporting this? Is it a custom engine? SOAP4J? Heaven forbid, not ASP.NET!
