I want to build a simple API (any topic is fine). What kind of APIs do you think are missing or would be fun to create?

make a wrapper that talks to rtorrent and exposes a transmission RPC compatible API, so that you can use GUIs like https://github.com/openscopeproject/TrguiNG and https://github.com/equeim/tremotesf2 with a bittorrent client backend that sucks less

One API project I was tinkering with throughout the years was a game content database. EAV setup with games and entity categories, each category having attributes. Replacement for wikis.

For example Dark Souls game, entity categories for monsters (with attributes health, defenses), items (attributes for stats, upgrades), achievements, areas etc. Allows for nice JSON representation and UI with eg DataTables. Different games have their own category, bit of a multi-tenant setup. Each game with their own (sub)website.

Still too lazy to continue to tinker with this. Shit got complicated fast, especially trying to data model relations (item x drops from monster y, but could also be found on the ground in area z).
