Add an api

[twidi]

I'm working on the Repos.io site, which allow users to search for and manage repositories, and i would add a backend for django-snippets, which is very usefull.

I could write it myself and add a pull-request but i currently have no time for it (lot of code to do for Repos.io), i just add it as a reminder or if someone has time :)

This api should handle registration (via oauth ?), and at least read access for various objects, and bookmarks (idealy it should allow to add/remove bookmarks)

All of this can be done with piston (never did it but i heard about it)

Personally, I would like to see a read-only API to allow easier integration with external ticket systems etc.

I'm not sure about going all-out and including APIs for the personal parts of the site, though.

Is this something we want to do? Would not take that much effort and be good to showcase DRF?

HI @chriswedgwood. Yes... it's something to consider. My hope is that the app is a kind of reference: Look, here's an actual site you can browse and copy from… — so a small simple API — perhaps just read-only, at least at first pass, would be a nice addition.
