Allow for API Integration

[piemadd]

So I know that a lot of people want a forum app for LTT, but I have realized that for anybody to ever do this would be to use an API. In a future update, will there be a way to have API integration. This could also allow for more than just 3rd party apps. It could allow for certain bots that can specialize on an issue, as a bot to search for the best PCPartPicker build for certain specifications. It would not be very hard since LTT already has integration with Google, and a few other 3rd party sign in resources.

 

Just a recommendation.

Sorry, I have looked into it in depth before, but it's not feasible.

I took a link at the LTT extension code, and here's the link to the supposed RSS page:

https://linustechtips.com/main/rss/forums/1-general-discussion-rss-feed/

however, can't get anything to load on chrome so not too sure what's going on.

 

Damn I hate working with js.

There is an rss feed, which is linked in the bottom breadcrumbs on all pages that support it. There are not, and will not be for the foreseeable future, any further apis other than that which is already documented for retrieving the currently logged in user's notifications and pm's from /main/api.php.
