My company uses flickr and picasa web albums as poor man's content delivery networks (CDN) for image hosting, but I'm curious if anyone has any recommendations on any other services that might be worth looking into, paid and free?

Preferably something that has an API so that it can be integrated discreetly on the backend as a WordPress plugin or for other development frameworks.

A CDN such as Amazon is cheap, and it works, but the lack of a photo-centric API is what prevents me from using it for general usage.

You can use vaious free CDNs like photobucket, flickr etc and can compress the images locally using a PHP scripts like timthumb.

Is there any special need for APIs?

If you feel that these scripts are eating bandwidth then you can search some free webhost provider which can host and run your own script from another server.

I like Google because of its DNS resolving time, but it doesn't let me run my script :-(

Stack Overflow (and thus by definition, this site) use imgur.com/ as they've just launched a brand new API. I'm not familiar with it as I haven't used it, but I had a discussion with Womble (the developer who designed it) about it and it seemed pretty neat.
