Looking for input on API needs was created by fxstein

As there are many plugins and componts that need to be better integrated we want to enable you in a much more sturctured way that the current 'hacks' that are being used and that break everytime something gets changed.

We are working on a preliminary spec for a very simple API that will allow all developers out there to access Kunena data without the need for you to know tablenames, SQL syntax and other internals.

The idea is to have a clean class design inside of kunena.api.php (new) similar to the following:

Code:

CKunenaAPI
{
    GetConfigSetting(Setting){...}

    GetLatestPosts(nNumberOfPosts, nViewedByUserId=0, PostedByUserId=0){...}
    GetLatestThreads(nNumberOfThreads, nViewedByUserId=0, PostedByUserId=0){...}

    StartNewThread(nCatId, nUserId, Subject, Body){...}
    ReplyToThread(nThreadId, nUserId, Subject, Body){...}

    ...
}

Here is the request: What functionality do your plugins or integrations require that need API calls to avoid you having to code SQL or reach into internals of Kunena.

We will soon release the very first version of the API as part of one of the next builds. This will make your applications and plugins neutral to any backend changes, much easier to implement and will take care of security and other internal logic that might be hard to replicate through reverse engineering.

If you know of anybody workin on plugins or integration please have them chime in.

Please real input only, lets avoid lots of noise - makes it a lot easier for us to find.

Thx!

We really need your help to take this to as many 3rd party developers as possible. We want to define a comprehensive API that allows others to easily and safely integrate with Kunena.

Thx!
