ESPN Starts Opening The Doors To Its Data With Developer Center, First API Program

Geeks and sports together? It's a beautiful thing. Well, at least that's what ESPN is hoping with the announcement of its brand, spanking new Developer Center, which marks the first time that it will open its doors to third-party developers and provide access to its enormous array of editorial content, stats, and other data. As Y Combinator Founder Paul Graham tweeted recently, APIs are self-serve business development. Many startups are catching on to the business development catalyst that APIs can be, but certainly few would say that ESPN, the self-tagged "world leader in sports," needs as much help in that department as the many startups out there just trying to get off the ground.
