API brainstorm
We don't have an API yet. This page intends to collect some ideas about an upcoming API.
Planned features
- Search members
- Read and write profile data
- Send and receive member-to-member messages
Entry point
The API will be RESTful. Possibilities base URIs are:
- https://api.bewelcome.org/
- https://www.bewelcome.org/api/ - would save SSL certificate trouble
Authentication
- Anonymous and authenticated calls supported
- Authentication via username and password
- Authentication remains valid during session (via cookie?)
Output format
- JSON is standard in most modern APIs
Connection to back-end
Possibilities:
- Internal HTTP calls to different subsystems
- New Rox module "api" (in "build" folder)
- Both :)
