Did sendgrid redo their API or something? I developed with that about a year ago and remember thinking it was among the worst APIs (though not THE worst) I'd ever had to work with.

LAST.FM : http://www.last.fm/api Not an elegant/clean API, but the results are amazing. I've build some really fun personal apps with it.
