Obviously, APIs have exploded over the past few years, but many of them seem poorly designed when it comes to utilizing them... I have an opportunity to design an API however I see fit, but I would like it to be easy to use for those accessing it. Of course, keeping it as simple as possible is a big help, but what are the gotchas that people have run into out there? Anything that should be avoided at all costs or implemented at all costs?
I'm building an iPhone app which needs a peice of meta data from a user's Google Spreadsheet. Unfortunately the meta data I need is not exposed by the API, so I will need to scrape it from the document's HTML source (it would not be present in any of the exported variants).
Is there anyway to include authentication parameters in a call such as:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=abc123&username=...&password=...
I know you can programmaticaly add markers for directions on the map. But how do you let the user do that? Like on the Google maps site, you just right click and then click on 'directions from/to here' and the marker is added. This functionality seems to be absent from the API.

I don't have an XP machine handy. If I use the Windows API Codepack to do something new to Vista/Win7 (e.g. "TaskDialog") in C#, how does it cope with running on Windows XP machines?
If I use the Codepack, have I effectively made my application only support Vista and later versions of Windows?

I have always liked the documentation on Java APIs, generally speaking, but I know some people consider them lacking. So I'm wondering, what do you consider a good example of API documentation?
Please, include a link or an actual example in any answer. I want to have references that I (and others, of course) can use to improve our own documents.

I am using the Amazon product Advertising API to fetch the product categories. For US categories it is working.
But using browse nodes from different sites I get the following error:

Does (or did) Twitter ever have a method in their API that allowed client-side HTTP requests without producing any cross-domain issues? I have a site that used the following url:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from%3adaleyjem&rpp=3&page=1&callback=?
It once worked, but now it doesn't.
Is there something else I should be using, or do I have to make a request to my own server-side code?
facebook has the facebook credit and I knew that they are testing on pay by facebook.
