ActionScript 3 API Service on Google App Engine
I have just uploaded a new ActionScript 3 reference / online documentation API to Google App Engine. Basically, the service takes an ActionScript 3 class name (or a fragment of a class name) and returns the URL for the online documentation for the specified class.
For example:
http://as3reference.appspot.com/getapi?version=flex3&api=String
returns:
{"items": [
{"path": "String.html", "name": "String"},
{"path": "mx\/utils\/StringUtil.html", "name": "StringUtil"},
{"path": "mx\/validators\/StringValidator.html", "name": "StringValidator"}
],
"version": "flex3", "base_path": "http:\/\/livedocs.adobe.com\/flex\/3\/langref\/"}
All responses are returned as JSON encoded data.
Right now, it returns API information for Flash Player 9, Flex 3 and AIR 1.1. It is possible to add new API information.
You can read more information on the service page at:
http://as3reference.appspot.com/
Post any comments, questions, suggestions or bugs in the comments.
Hey, Mike,
Any plans on making a Ubiquity command using this API?
If not, I may give it a whirl.

@Brian
Hehe… that is why I made the service!
Feel free to build one, although I will probably also play around with it.

[...] have been playing around with the jQuery Autocomplete plugin to get it working with the ActionScript 3 documentation API that I posted about earlier [...]

I’ve already done an ubiquity command that does exactly this. Though it’s got the data necessary to construct the link built into it. No networking calls.
