Ask HN: As a Developer, what API would you like to use, but does not exist?

I would like to create an API for developers, but not sure what API is needed at this time.

Can you share any requests that you have for an API that would be helpful to you? It could make your life easier or be more convenient than existing solutions (such as a gem or library).

It could be something difficult such as Face Recognition. Or something simple such as converting from feet to meters or getting current time in UTC.

Alternately, it could be an API that is useful to you, but is too expensive or does not offer a free tier.

And yes, this API will offer a free tier. (And, it will be completely free for a while.)

Java API for CRISPR.

A remote git API, showing me the output of (chained) git commands on arbitrary remote repositories and so allowing me to analyze them (much like GitHub already does for their repositories).

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Can you explain? What would you send, a string? What would the response be? Can you please provide an example?

Are you referring to "Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats"?

Is there software that runs locally on your machine?
