API for Nabble forums

[nnako]

Hi Nabble team,

surely, there were some posts about the usage of application programing interfaces (API) before. But the focus was on the function and design modifications using NAML. That seems to be a good part of a possible overall-API (as far as it is understood by administrators).



In the picture above, you see the sketch of an access structure for the usage of a Nabble forum. The forum itself is hosted on a server and secured through a set of "gates" for authentification testing. Once registered and equipped with the respective group rights, authors and readers can access the forum contents using a WEB interface (via WEB browser) or through eMails (via eMail client) in connection with auto notification functions. Additionally, as mentioned above, administrators can even change the design and functions of the page contents using NAML (see blue 1).

But what about an additional functionality that enables administrators to request and retrieve posts/contents or even change the configurations of the forum using eMail (see blue 2)?

Is this already a part of the API? If not, would this be worth to be considered for future implementation?

Just to clarify the benefit of such an API functionality mentioned above:

For example, when an administrator received a notification about a new registered user on his forum site (via eMail), he maybe could directly (without having to visit the site himself):

- write a welcome message to the new user using his eMail client
- set group membership for the new user using his eMail client
- ...

Six weeks gone without an answer...
Is there already a kind of API described above? Is there a documentation available for it?
