Improvements to the API

We say we like people who share data, but sharing should always start at home, which is why Nestoria has an API which anyone can use to do cool stuff with Nestoria's data.  Every now and then the development side of the team have to force themselves to stop writing code and start writing documentation explaining the code, and over the last week or so one of our new summer interns has been tasked with documenting and updating the API – which applies directly to us AU readers, as the Australian metadata (ie average house price info) has been included.  Does that sound enticing to any developers out there?  How 'bout mashing house prices up with CBD proximity and public transport prices to find the optimum financial distance to live from the centre of town?  Or something?

The revamped API documentation system, with more readable layout, will hopefully make it easier to do just that. And a hundred other things you might want to do with Nestoria's information and we haven't even thought of yet.  Then when you've created your masterpiece, let us know about it and we'll include it in our application gallery where we put our favourite Nestoria related apps., also newly added. 

London_profiler
From our Application Gallery London Profiler: is a university project to overlay different local information on a map of London.  One of the overlays is house price data from Nestoria.

If the thing that piqued your interest most in the above was the fact that we have summer interns then get in touch.  An Australian summer intern during the Australian summer would be popular addition to the office.
