When will the Stack Overflow API be released?

Question

When will the Stack Overflow API be released and what should the community expect from it?

Answer 1

The public API covers this request, and is available now:

• https://stackapps.com/

Use the API to build a mobile app or site to your taste!

Answer 2

Now that there's a new member on the team (that will be focused on the API), I expect it will be in about 6 to 8 weeks
