Fairly interesting site. You can get a free subscription to play around with. As an old-timer vested in SOAP queries, REST and API's... suffice to say.... the way to go. Once logged in and subscribed to a free account [limited by # of requests, of course] you can browse categories, choose one and will receive a screen with your API key, host, uri and they even drop in some code. Keep yer skills sharp
