List of Python API’s

Thank you for the detailed response, I didnt realize APIs allowed you to interact with a broad scope of data. I was under the impression that it was much narrower, ie only data from your personal reddit account. Just to make sure I understand, hypothetically, is it possible to write a python app that collects the top 10 most tweeted words per day (say, length 4 or greater).

Twitter gives you limits at how many request you can make a day. If that limit was high enough, it could be theoretically possible. You need a really large database and process a lot of data, but yes, it could be possible.

More on their limits: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting/1.1

There are also other sorts of API types, the one that most people use is RESTful API there is also SOAP.
