A lot of feedback we heard from our developer contest was about how much a console would help for learning our API. We are happy to announce that, partnered with Apigee, we have launched a API console that is now available from our developer portal. This console not only enumerates and shows examples for all the different APIs Zappos offers, but also let's a developer make requests to those calls and shows the response, all in the same window.
The API represents what Sam Rami of Apigee compares to the evolution of the 20th century supply chain. In the post-war economy, the supply chain changed our geographies. It transformed how we delivered goods to the market. With the advent of the modern highway, we created hubs that connected transportation systems which converged at central points. Through this we saw the emergence of a new commerce based culture.
You don’t have to get hit by the proverbial bus to know it hurts, and you don’t have to make the same mistakes other devs have made on your way to a functional, widely used, efficiently managed API.

SANTA CLARA, CA, Feb 1, 2011 (AdAge) -- It seems like it was only a few years ago that we were breathlessly talking about mashing up Flickr photos with Google Maps to create something entirely new.
