We are trying to build address validator and was wondering if storing the data can become obsolete or will be a maintenance task.
Adding a API would rather be long lasting. There are not many resources which are kept updated
I have checked below Links.All of them are out dated and do not have latest data.
http://www.postalpincode.in/Api-Details
https://pincode.net.in/194101
Also there is not much on documentation part -
https://data.gov.in/resources/all-india-pincode-directory/api#/Resource/get_resource_6176ee09_3d56_4a3b_8115_21841576b2f6
Anyone who is already doing it in better way then storing data to app local db.
I tried below link and the data I got from this link is outdated.
https://data.gov.in/catalog/pincode-search?filters%5Bfield_catalog_reference%5D=90054&format=json&offset=0&limit=6&sort%5Bcreated%5D=desc
https://data.gov.in/node/85839/download
Indian Post would be the most reliable source of information, the other site you referred () gets data from Indian Post -
https://api.postalpincode.in/
It works fine for most of the pin-codes however the recent split of J&K doesn't seem to be updated yet.
https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/400005 (Mumbai)
https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/110006 (Delhi)
https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/194101 (Leh)
The government sites' data usually take much longer to get updated.
You can find the updated Indian postal or pin code information from "India Pincode with Latitude and Longitude" API.
This API provides approximately 1.6L pin codes all over India.
Can check the distance between two pin code.
Can find the distance between areas by latitude and longitude.
Can get the details of pin codes.
Nearby areas pin code.
Pin code by state.

I'd like to keep up with current affairs by scanning the newspaper headlines, and I'm not always able to walk past a newspaper stand.
Where can I find this same information online? I'm happy to do the programming work to collate them myself, but it's not clear from newspapers websites which stories are on the front page of the physical paper. Also the website headlines change during the day.
I want to keep abreast of the UK front page stories and be sure I've not missed anything. I'm imagining some kind of API, or something like IFTTT. It must be robust enough not to break when the website HTML changes.
BBC News has an RSS headlines feed for the UK: http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/uk/rss.xml.
The Guardian and the BBC both have numerous other feeds; see: http://www.theguardian.com/help/feeds and http://www.bbc.com/news/10628494.
This may help as well: http://www.currybet.net/cbet_blog/2007/11/top-100-british-newspaper-feed.php
As far as what's in the physical newspaper, I don't think you'll find exactly that. If you check the feed every morning, anything that happens later in the day would be in tomorrow's paper.
You could convert the feeds to JSON (or the like) using Yahoo Pipes, and then process it how you like, or view the RSS feeds in a feedreader.
I tried Google News RSS + feedburner, but the headlines seemed very random and not related to what I see in a browser, e.g. http://news.google.co.uk/news/feeds?output=rss

I'm looking for a very simple wordpress plugin and after looking through a couple thousand plugins on the wordpress site, I thought maybe someone here can point me in the right direction.
I need to have a small admin section to save simple key value pairs (strings, or ints), and have the ability to pull those values out with a snippet of code in the template.
This data needs to be available site wide (not custom fields within a post).
It's for a non-profit with no budget, so I'm hoping to not have to write something. They just need the ability to go into the back end, and update a few fields (number of donations, total value of donations, and the location of the next school they will be visiting), and those values will be outputted into the header and inside the body of a few pages.
Any ideas?
Thanks very much in advance,
B
For anyone wondering: I found this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-website-data/
It works exactly as I needed.
Thanks
Assuming this is just for a select set of options and adding options does not need to be dynamic... You should just create a plugin.
Its very basic stuff, options and setting a admin page.
It doesn't get any easier than that for creating a plugin.
You could probably just Google Creating you first WordPress plugin and any of the tutorials will almost give you the exact code you need.

I am being tasked to find a address validation engine for our company's database. The preferred method is through API feeds, and we are trying to avoid Google as it was deemed highly inaccurate for non-US address. We are looking for providers for international addresses, especially those which can give highly accurate street address with just a postal code.
Hope to hear responses soon! Thank you in advance!
Google was probably deemed "highly inaccurate" for international addresses because Google doesn't verify addresses. Google Maps will place a pin on an address where it would exist if it did exist, but doesn't mean that it does exist. (Trust me, I work at SmartyStreets.)
Only 5% of countries in the world actually support complete address verification. The accuracy level of verification varies from country to country. See: https://smartystreets.com/docs/international#countries
All the other countries just don't carry delivery-point-level data.
But you can try some services like SmartyStreets, Cdyne, Melissa Data, QAS, or Postcode Anywhere, for international "validation". Be careful, though, I've seen QAS and Postcode Anywhere give back a "valid" result when actually the address isn't valid. Some companies only use "range" or street-level data even if delivery point data is available, meaning that they assume/guess it's right, even if it's not.
I guess it depends what your needs are.

I want to develop an iPhone app, that will enable user to track his speed and speed limit of street/road. Is there any google map API that gives us this information? if not, can anybody tell me any alternate 3rd party solution.
Thanx in advance.
I don't think such an API exists at the moment.
Now google has started providing optional speed limit data.
See Roads Web Service section at following link.
https://developers.google.com/maps/licensing
Google does now provide a Roads API, in which you can query Speed Limit data, but, according to the page found here https://developers.google.com/maps/licensing, you must acquire a Google Maps For Work License. You may not query the speed limit data for free. It looks like the Business License runs $10k per year.

I'm trying to develop a review monitoring system for several iPhone apps I've developed, for instance to email me with the contents of a review when one comes in. (Right now, without an iPhone, I can't even view reviews.) I was hoping there was some online browser for the app store (like cyrket for android), but I am unsure if this exists (I can't find any definitive answer via searching).
Is there any online browser that can be scraped? Or is there at least some API I can use to view app reviews? Or will it come down to sniffing packets and reverse engineering the app store protocol?
Unfortunately, none of the answers here did the trick, and I didn't get the feedback I needed.
However, I found an answer.
One can just go to the rss feed from Apple feedback (in the itunes connect site and replace the word xml with json (for those [like me] who prefer to work with json objects). However note, that XML has 2 extra fields, that are missing in JSON : <updated>(very useful) and <content type="html">.
https://itunes.apple.com/HERE-YOU-PUT-THE-CONTRY-CODE/rss/customerreviews/id=PUT-APP-ID-HERE/sortBy=mostRecent/json
APP ID - you cant get your app id from itunsconnect in the view details tab.
country codes - like il for israel, it for italy and etc.
For example, in my case the link was -
https://itunes.apple.com/il/rss/customerreviews/id=567630281/sortBy=mostRecent/xml
I hope this helps.
I know this question is probably out of date, but I found an EXCELLENT resource http://blog.manbolo.com/2012/09/10/useful-itunes-web-services outlining the various APIs that are available for querying iTunes data, INCLUDING a mechanism for querying app reviews, e.g.
https://itunes.apple.com/rss/customerreviews/id=400274934/xml
We had the same issues, and since we have 7 apps in the App Store, visiting the store pages wasn't really an option. So we built a tool that we recently released that you might find useful: https://launchkit.io/reviews/
It emails you all new reviews and posts them to your teams Slack channel.
This post outlines building such a "scraper" using curl. It also gathers international reviews, which is difficult to do just using iTunes:
