Google APIs Discovery Service: one API to find them all

On May 9, 2011, we announced the Google APIs Discovery Service, which is the secret sauce behind the new client libraries. This service exposes machine readable metadata about Google APIs including:

1. A directory of supported APIs.
2. A "Discovery document" for each of the supported APIs that includes:

• A list of API resource schemas based on JSON Schema.
• A list of API methods and available parameters for each method.
• A list of available OAuth 2.0 scopes.

3. Inline documentation of methods, parameters, and available parameter values.

For more information, please check out the full post about the Discovery Service on the Official Google Code blog.
