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...)

is there any further documentation of the Here Maps SDK for Swift? I have only found a simple mapView and nothing more.
Thanks for all your tips!
Unless this is what you were referring to, you might find this site useful. It seems to include more extensive topics than just mapViews.
This comes from the developer.here.com website:
Here iOS SDK Documentation
If you're looking for more depth than this, you might be out of luck. I have just performed some research on this topic and it doesn't seem to me that Here has extensive online resources.
This might be from the original site as well, but you can also check out this list of examples for inspiration/help.
Of course you can also refer to StackOverflow as a resource as well, as I have seen some posts about this service that have been posted on the site, so they may help with some of the problems you are facing.

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.

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.
https://developer.similarweb.com/traffic_intelligence
Full disclosure, I work at SimilarWeb.

I know this is not a technical question but I don't know where to ask elsewhere.
I use the very cool toolkit called trigger.io to develop apps for both android and ios. Now I would like to use something like a database to display data in my app.
Firstly I found a realtime backend called firebase: http://www.firebase.com/
Nice but it takes a while until one gets access to it since it is still in beta.
Then I found a cloud service called Kinvey: http://www.kinvey.com/ Also interesting, but it is free as long as only 200 users download the app.
So do you know any alternatives to store data and use it for my app?
That would be very helpful,
thanks enne
Sure. Parse is an easy option. Basic plan to get start is $0 a month.
Also, there is nothing stopping you from bundling (or download and saving and caching) a json file for use in your trigger.io app.

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.
