The difference is between asking for something that performs certain computations (on-topic) and asking for where someone would sell you time (and bandwidth etc.) on their computer (off-topic). | |

| Feb 28, 2014 at 12:58 | comment | added | hippietrail | I always thought of a Web API as a type of Web service. Perhaps we could define a policy that all kinds of Web Services other than Web APIs are off topic? | |
