REST Webservices For Joomla
Webservices are a critical piece in a web application if you want to communicate with other applications. In layman's terms, web services allow various applications to communicate with each other. Practical examples for use of Web services are Mobile applications that depend on some data from other web applications. For non Geeks, head over to Wikipedia to Understand what REST is all about. Another excellent resource is "How I explained REST to my Wife" to get a low down on what REST is all about.
Targeted Mainly at developers, this architecture will allow you to easily extend your Joomla extensions & applications to talk with the world !
We encourage developers to come forward & contribute any plugins you develop to the project.

Developers - Get It, Fork It On GitHub
Our initial versions of the API were on an architecture similar to XMLRPC for Joomla 1.5. However, we found that the com_api project was better structured so we forked it & converted all our plugins to the com_api architecture.
The Latest version of com_api supports Joomal 2.5 & Joomla 3.0. Get it here on GitHub.
API plugins are available for many extensions including Joomla content, Users, JomSocial, SOBI, AEC, SocialAds to name a few. Get them here on GitHub .
If you are interested in the older XMLRPC like separate application version, you can get it here. Note that we don't maintain that anymore.
Non Geeks - Download The com_api Package
Commercial Support & Custom Development
For those who want to start using it right away & want commercial support or need custom plugins or applications developed to use the api in your own unique way, feel free to contact us. We can help you extend this in the best way possible. Contact us today for a discussion
