In fact, it's both. The Times, via the Times Developer Network, is providing software developers APIs to access a variety of information, from movies to politics. It's pretty smart.
The movie reviews api, for example, provides output in JSON, XML and serialized PHP formats. And they have examples of how to invoke them.
I hope we see more and more companies providing this type of service soon. As it does, mashups will really take off.
