Is there any API that I can use to rank search terms according to their popularity? An official Google API was announced to be released, however there isn't any. Any suggestions on what I may use alternatively?
There are some open source API's available to Google trends.
In node: https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-trends-api
In Python:
https://github.com/GeneralMills/pytrends
In Java:
https://github.com/elibus/j-google-trends-api
Java client side: https://github.com/elibus/j-google-trends-client
For Golang groovili/gogtrends can be useful. It's an unofficial API wrapper which works with Google Trends. Gives the ability to get trending searches and compare search items popularity over time and by region.
There is a php api for google trends that I've been using for almost two years without problems: http://codingfocus.com/google-trends-api
It allows to get graph, region and related queries data.
You might check out the SimilarWeb API which provides the proportion of search traffic to a given domain over time. This metric is quite similar to what Google Trends provides.

Full disclosure, I work at SimilarWeb.

In google, some searches might bring up some data found by google (For instance, searching "bitcoin price" brings up data on pricing in a little box at the top, as does searching "2 plus 2". Is there a Google API that will fetch just the data pulled up in the box (as in, If this API was given the keyword "Bitcoin", it would return the price but not the links to websites below). Is there such a "data box" API that will work with the Swift Programming Language (It is for an iOS app)?
I couldn't find any previous questions like this, but there may be some, as I don't know the proper terminology (If anyone happens to know the official name of what I called "data boxes", do tell! Also, I apologize for use of the API tag, I just don't know the name of the API I am looking for.
The official name is "OneBox".
The underlying APIs are unavailable and brokered by Google and private data providers. Your best bet is to find the data sources directly and use their API; which will probably involve an exchange of money or other formal agreement.

I'm developing a project for the iPad. My project is for a medical representatives. I need to populate their appointments, samples sold, to be delivered samples, etc.
I have to work with Cloud interface. For this I have got 2 words which I have to work with.
SalesForce
ZKSForce
I can see documentation about how to use this. But I want to know what is this? What is the purpose of using this.
Why to use SalesForce? Is ZKSForce a free library? Is there any other library apart from ZKSForce?
I need information about these two.
zkSforce is an open source cocoa library that accesses the salesforce.com SOAP api, You could use that or you could use the iOS Mobile SDK which uses the salesforce.com REST api.

I need to implement searching images in my iOS app using google search. I found google objective-c API (http://code.google.com/p/gdata-objectivec-client/). But not found examples for searching images. Maybe anyone already made something like this?
EDIT: this answer is out of context as it is for custom search rather than the general google search
This might help you:
Google Search Blog: Image results now available from the Custom Search API
Or if you want to skip the blog post completely:
Google code: JSON/Atom Custom Search API
Check out my github project https://github.com/PavelKatunin/GoogleImagesSearcher
It searches images via Google Api and presents them in UITableView.

I'm working on an iOS application where I'd like to be able to display stores with their respective logos. I've spent a while looking for an API that does this and I can't find anything besides XigniteLogos. Unfortunately this is outside of my budget - is there a free solution available?
This is a very interesting question.
My first thought was that you could try doing a Google Image search. I know Google has a service called Goggles which can recognize logos, so searching the other way must be possible using Google.
I did a sample search on Google Images for "General Mills logo" (I guess I am hungry for breakfast right now) and the first result that was returned was from SeekLogo.com
I am not sure what SeekLogo is, or if they have an API, but they may be exactly what you're looking for. If not, you could try a Google images search and use the first result... (Google does have an image search AIP but... it's been deprecated? The announcement of that says that the documentation / community may have solutions which are still supported...)

Like many developers, I'm pretty confused on why Google deprecated so many of its APIs (Images, Translate etc). Does anyone know of a good alternative image API that is somewhat accurate? Flickr seems pretty inaccurate in my testing : /
Zach
It really depends what you're looking for. The major alternatives out there are Yahoo's Boss API, Bing's Image Search API, and Flickr's API which you mentioned.
Bing and Yahoo both have larger amounts of images than Flickr.
Flickr is more lenient in terms of what you can actually do with the images however. Both Bing and Yahoo limit what you can do. For example, Bing doesn't allow you to reorder your search results and Yahoo has a hard-limit on the number of requests you can make. Flickr allows you to do basically anything as long as you don't spam requests or abuse their user's rights to the images.
Bing also tends to have the more detailed search engine, as you can search for different colors, and categories than Yahoo or Flickr.
In the end, I'd advise reading over their respective Terms of Services(Flickr, Bing, Yahoo), and using the one that fits what project you have in mind.
I hope this helps, and good luck!
