I am building an RSS Reader. Some of the existing ones out there (for example, Pulse News for iPhone/iPad) have a search box where you can search for some term (example - "sports") and it will return a list of feeds that match your search criteria. So in this example, you type in "sports", and it searches and then comes back with ESPN.com's news feed, Yahoo! Sports' news feed, etc. etc.
What search engine does that? I've looked at Syndic8.com and it was kind of crap compared to whatever Pulse is using. If you search for "sports" it returns feeds I've never even heard of from obscure sites.
Thank you!
You can have a look a the google feed api and espacially: https://code.google.com/intl/fr/apis/ajaxfeeds/documentation/reference.html#findFeeds

There's a service called Pine (which I run) that aggregate Blog RSS and JSON feeds, and it has a free API.

I'd like to use a web service or a different solution to retrieve the names of all higher education institutions (universities, colleges, technical schools etc.) wordwide. This will enable the users of a job application web app to enter/select the higher education institution they attended in a consistent manner.
Could you please point out to such a resource?
You could use dbpedia.
Example query to get 50 universities:
SELECT ?university
WHERE {
?university rdf:type <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/University>
} LIMIT 50
You could use it at dbpedia sparql. You could also search for generic educational institution, college, etc.
Or you could simply use wikipedia universities list
EDIT:
List of 9000 universities, included country and web. Data is easy to extract as dataset its in CSV format. Link to github project

I am looking for a API/web service for me to retrieve a list of landmarks, points of interest (and their GPS coordinates) near a given city. I tried google places including the query Place Search and type point_of_interest, but the results do not seem satisfactory.
For example, to Paris, I need an answer:
Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees, ...
What would you advise me to find such information.
A couple options:
Foursquare Venues Platform
Factual Places API
Google places has the flag "point_of_interest" but only to show, not for search (see Table 2 in https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/supported_types)
Google Earth on the other hand has what you need. See the icons for Tourist destination, Monument and Historical Place in https://support.google.com/earth/answer/180709?hl=en#what
However I am not sure if there is an API for this data, or if you need to find a way to extract it from GE.

I am looking for an api to download a list of movies when the search term is an actor, actress or director.
So if actor = "Tom Cruise", I get a list of all his movies.
If director = "James Cameron", I get a list of all the movies he directed.
I have checked the sites which use iMDB's api but they search by movie title or imdb id.
Same for RottenTomatoes.
I am aware of IMDb's text files.
Any ideas?
http://www.theimdbapi.org makes this information available via a RESTful JSON API.
From their examples:
http://www.theimdbapi.org/api/find/person?name=jim+carrey
returns all of the info regarding Jim Carrey's films.
I don't believe that it has the parameters to get quite as detailed as you were hoping for, but it could certainly give you the bulk of the information you need.
Edit:
I also noticed that the other posted solution is no longer working. Seems that the location of the documentation for themoviedb.org is actually at this location now:
https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/people
Honestly, it seems a bit more robust.
(I also realized after posting how old this actual issue is, but hopefully it is still helpful to someone who stumbles upon it.. )

I am looking for an online file conversion site which converts DOCX, DOC, PPT, PDF etc. to JPG files using an API (RESTful etc.).
I do not mind paying for the service but am unable to find an such service online.
One that might work for you is convertapi (http://www.convertapi.com/).
I recently used this to enable the following conversions for an app :
doc/docx --> PDF
ppt --> jpg
doc/docx --> jpg
They have a very simple REST api that's easy to implement : (http://www.convertapi.com/api/word-pdf-api)
You probably should also have a look at the CloudConvert API, which, as far as I know, supports your mentioned formats.
Convertapi doesn't do ppt --> jpg at the moment.

While googling for it.I've stumbled upon html2wiki that seems to do the job(will try after done posting the Q up). But, other than that, there are many other choices popped out during the query session.
An word on which app to choose would be appreciated!
Thanks
I'm quite a fan of pandoc. The advantage is you learn one tool and then you can do lots of different kinds of conversions, fast.
This is the only one that has worked for me:

My use case was an HTML exported from EverNote which I needed to transfer into MediaWiki engine.
You could try HTML-WikiConverter
It can be done with marksy.arc90.com
Marksy is an online (or a Chrome Extension) that converts one markup
language to another in your browser.
Currently:
Input types supported
Markdown
Rst
Textile
Html
Mediawiki
Jira (confluence)
Github (gfm)
Outputs

Rst
Textile
Html
Jira (confluence)
Googlecode
Jspwiki
Moinmoin
Trac
Mediawiki
Marksy even has an API available.
The best of three test was achieved by Seapine {Labs} HTML to Wiki Converter.
It uses AJAX to convert HTML source code to MediaWiki syntax.
The project documentation can be found here.
