There are scads of them. These are pretty broad categories. Amazon has  
apis for sdb, ecs, and aws, to name three. Google has numerous apis,  
including calendar, map, search, reader, translate, etc.

But fundamentally, Ruby can access any service. You just have to  
program it. In many cases someone already has.

Why are you trying to catalog public apis that people are interfacing  
to using Ruby?
