Guardian Open Platform is a new API from The Guardian for accessing it's publications, news and articles. API is just HTTP REST, so it's very easy to use. Currently in beta - so when you register your app you will have to wait few days to be activated. Using the API you can search and get articles publishen by Guardian and few other newspapers. There is interesting example of Google Wave robot that inserts search results (with Guardian publications) in a Wave.
OpenPlatform and Python
There is complete library openplatform-python, which covers all the API:from guardianapi import Client
client = Client('Your API Key')
results = client.search(q = 'robert kubica')
print results.count()
for item in results:
print item['headline']
# content
#print item['typeSpecific']['body']
print

OpenPlatform and PHP
There is similar library openplatform-php that allows PHP scripts to easily use the API. There is an example in the library package.
