Hi,

I want to contract with a developer to develop an app for my web site (android and iphone) that will include integrated access to my forums (with inapp message notifications).

One developer I’m talking to has conveyed this “There’s currently no official REST api for Discourse. It looks like it is still under development and there is poor or no documentation at all. As a consequence, the API might be buggy and lacking at this stage.”

Can anyone update me on the status, timing and plan for an official REST API for Discourse?

Thanks
