Remote Interface with Electrum

[Chaoskampf]

I was wondering if there's any way to remotely link to an Electrum client. I know that you can do this with bitcoind/bitcoin-qt through JSON-RPC, but as far as I can tell there's no way to accomplish this with Electrum. Does anyone here know of any solutions to this? Would I have to host my own Electrum server?

You can create scripts to use an Electrum client installed on a server, e.g. for a WebApp

Answered the question on IRC, but for posterity and anybody else who has the question: check out the scripts directory in the Electrum source code and you'll see a merchant.py script that you can model off of to perform what you may want to do. Electrum's scripting in python makes for relatively easy custom integration scripts.

I was also looking for discussion on RC for Electrum - led me here:
