In an official blog entry posted earlier this week, Google announced that Google Fusion Tables is releasing its very own API. Fusion Tables, in case you've never heard of it, is a recently launched free cloud-like service that allows users to upload data, share and mark up the data with other collaborators, merge data from multiple tables, and create charts, maps, and other visuals.
"Is your dataset active? Is it being collected right now on cell phones or websites? With the new Fusion Tables API, you can update and query your dataset in Fusion Tables programmatically, without ever logging in to the Fusion Tables website," Google explains. "The API means you can import data from whatever data source you may have, whether a text file or a full-powered database."
In a nutshell, the newly released API allows users to upload and populate a table with data from spreadsheets or .CSV files, query and download, and sync data tables between your offline repository and Google's Fusion Tables.
