24 alternatives to Zapier's first API
Hey HN! We launched Zapier way back in 2012 on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4138415 and thought we'd return home to announce something special and hopefully exciting :) We are trying to finally live up to the "API" in our name with Zapier's first universal API: Natural Language Actions – https://zapier.com/l/natural-language-actions API docs – https://nla.zapier.com/api/v1/docs (to be fair, we have published APIs before that can access Zapier data, but never before one devs can use to directly call the 5k+ apps /…

A few years ago, right after high school, I decided to try to make a simultaneous translation app for Android as a side project, it took longer than expected (about 2 years) and I had to make a lot of compromises (I had to use Google's API and therefore make users use a developer key because at the time there were no free solutions for speech recognition and translation that had good quality).
