My Question on Support site for LampCMS project
Yes, the Lampcms will have an API. It will be one of the few Open Source Q&A programs that has own API.Before I beging working on the API, here are some basic outlines of what it will do:
1) Output will be in JSON or XML, but first I'll work on JSON version since it's much simpler. But right from the start the output will be handled by the formatter class. That class will accept raw data (php array or object) and convert it into JSON or XML. So first I'll just write JSON formatter)
2) It will be read/write API. First I'll work on read functions, then on write.
3) Good news and bad news about write API. Good news - it will be OAuth2, which is harder to write for me but easier to use for clients. Bad news - this will be one module which that will not be free. Yes, it will be the first premium module. After all, if you need the write API you are probably building a very interesting project with the purpose of making a profit. So it will not be a big deal to pay for this module. It will not be expensive anyway.
So, here you have it - a free read API with support to get latest questions, unanswered, by tag(s), support for "startwith" and "limit" and "sort by" options
Support to get all answers for a question with "startwith", "limit" and "sort" options and support for include/exclude comments from data
Support for questions for specific user, answers by specific user.
Maybe other options like get following/followers per user, but that will come later.
Any suggestions? Post them here.
