I would pay $10,000 for an API that gives me the Linkedin company updates for any single company.

I would pay $10,000 for an API that gives me real-time Asian news (Korean, Japanese, Chinese) content that matches a keyword.

I would pay $10,000 for an API that classifies an article into a topic such as politics, tech, etc.

I would pay $10,000 for an API that shows me the annual/monthly trends for FB likes, Twitter followers, Instagram followers, and App Store downloads for public companies that are in the equity market so I can analyze these companies and buy/sell prior to earnings.

I would pay $10,000 for an API that gives me a stream of Instagram updates that have a certain keyword.

I would pay $10,000 for an API that gives me the social metrics, given an Instagram handle.

And yes, I work in the social marketing industry :)

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.

[WingH]

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.

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.

[WingH]

sure email me at henley dot wing at gmail.

[computerfriend]

I can possibly pick up the other three.
