Calling for your ideas on an iPredict API

iPredict is developing an API and we'd like to hear from you if its something you think you might use.

There's a lot of decisions that go into making an API. Our thinking at this point is that for a start a "read-only" API that gives access to raw trading data. You will be able to get price and trade volumes by date and time and by stock. Simple stuff - but useful for setting up alerts and collecting and alanysing data.

The next step will be whether and exactly how to add trading functions to the API. What are the things you'd like to be able to do without having to visit iPredict and use our interface? What do you need in an API to do it?
