Posted November 23, 201410 yr Is there any documentation for interacting with IPBoard 4 via RESTful api endpoints?I'm also hoping it will be easy to have 3rd party applications do things like:create topicsget a list of posts in a particular topiccreate a post with an imageget a list of users on the forumedit a userI am currently running 3.4.7 with IPConnect for single sign on between an app I wrote. I'm very much looking forward to how we will integrate SSO with IPBoard 4.0 so that I can start coding right away.
November 25, 201410 yr I've been looking for API endpoints myself and cannot find them. I think that's coming in a subsequent beta release.Anyone else have input on if/when a RESTful API is coming?
December 5, 201410 yr Author I thought I read somewhere a long time ago that they were going to be doing everything in 4.0 using RESTful api endpoints....
December 15, 201410 yr +1 I didn't see any mention of REST in the source code though so not holding out much hope there. It is possible to bootstrap the whole system, but there are issues in that cookies are only set in whichever folder your forum is installed rather than site-wide so this has limited usefulness and you can't override the cookie path without changing a core file. In prior versions you could set cookie paths, but not v4 for some reason
December 20, 201410 yr I also need to figure out the IPS 4 equivalent of the XML-RPC API from IPB 3.X.
