Wikivoyage is a great resource, but it didn't have an API. Now it does.
Disclaimer
The is a beta release.
Access Rules
Access is free but currently rate-limited by IP number to 100 requests/day. Contact me at
wikisherpa@rezendi.com to get a free API key that will increase that limit to
250 requests/day. If that's insufficient for your needs, let me know and we'll work something out.
Technical Details
All the API endpoints are accessed via HTTP GETs; all responses are in JSON. Click to see examples.
