Title: Theymos, and programmers of the Bitcoin Forum: An API? Pleeease? Post by: whiskers75 on April 08, 2013, 04:55:05 AM Could someone, someone at all, try and integrate an API into this forum? It would make things so much easier, and allow for development of lots of different forum projects.

Been thinking of doing just that... :) Title: Re: Theymos, and programmers of the Bitcoin Forum: An API? Pleeease? Post by: Logik on April 08, 2013, 10:41:05 AM I'm maintaining an API that scrapes the WAP version of the forums. I bumped my thread about it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=154131.0
The API is two parts: one is the actual scraper, which creates Java objects out of the pages but has no other logic. The second project is the actual API which runs on Google App Engine and contains some intelligence about what to scrape, and when, and how, etc. Of course there is the question of "what about when the forums upgrade" but the way things are going it doesn't really seem imminent.
