Hi WingH, Can you update your profile with contact info, for anyone that would like to contact you about potentially providing any of the above.

Thanks.

I don't feel like any of these ideas are worth $10k to most people, to be perfectly honest.

10k for a LI api to a company page? I don't get it.

The question wasn't directed to most people which is a good thing because I don't think most people would spend $10k on anything other than a car or a home.
You are most likely right, but OP was asking what was worth $10K to me personally, not what I thought would be worth $10K to others :)

Just giving my domain-specific 2 cents.

Also its you as a business who will probably on-sell that info for $500 a month to each client.
>I would pay $10,000 for an API that classifies an article into a topic such as politics, tech, etc.

That's fairly doable at decent accuracy with using current NLP techniques. At that budget I guess you can find a smart freelance dev to do the job (wink ;)

Want to exchange information? I can provide at least 3 of those APIs almost immediately. Working in the same industry, pretty solid technology.
sure email me at henley dot wing at gmail.
I can possibly pick up the other three.
