    I have the same question here as I did in the Yahoo API forum. :) How much does it cost to use MSN's search API commerically?

    Does MSN *have* an API?

    There API is a web services kind of thing. Not to sure how well it works with other development tools besides Visual Studio because I see there web services API is in the .asmx extension and that is a Microsoft extension for Web Services and it is SOAP and not REST.

    Here's a handy dandy SOAP client (PHP) as well as some discussion..

    MSN API SOAP via PHP

    To see it in action:
    MSN API Search Client in action

    This guy has done a nice job of it actually, and for the coders among you, should answer all questions (but do watch pre PHP 5 SOAP bugs folks)..

    Cheers,
