Yes, we have but only for certain part.

May i know what you trying to achieve?

Arlex,

I am in contact with a mobile app developer and they wanted to know if there are any API's available.

1. Can you please elaborate what API's are available?
   
2. Is there any documentation on the API, if yes where can I find it; if no are there any plans on documenting it?
   
3. Are there any future plans to have a full API stack available?
   

Thanks in advance,
Chaim

To be frank with you, we still working on the documentation for certain part of Easysocial Web API.

And this following file path is what we did for the certain part of Easysocial JSON API and this is not official yet.

JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/views/account/view.json.php
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/views/comments/view.json.php
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/views/likes/view.json.php
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/views/stream/view.json.php
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/views/photos/view.json.php
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/views/profile/view.json.php

Currently all our developer is focus on Easyblog 5.1 development, but we most likely will continue this web API in Easysocial 2.1.

1. What do you recommend I tell the developer? my plan is to use ES as the back-end for my social app, so users will not really be interacting with the website.
   
2. What kind of expansion is planned for ES2.1 (will it focus on certain areas or all of ES functionality?
   

Thanks in advance,
Chaim

Hello Chaim,

Not entirely sure if I understand you here but you could get him to look at the methods on those view.json.php files if he wants to hook into the JSON api. As Arlex mentioned, these JSON endpoints aren't official yet as this is a very large system, we are doing it in stages.

out of curiosity, what is planned for ES2.1?

We will disclose the features and functionality when the time is right

not sure if this is the correct location; is it possible to convert your Mobile template to an app?

Hello Chaim,

I believe there are some providers who provide "container apps" which allows you to encapsulate the site within a native app but to be honest, do you really want to build a native app?

Also, some cons to take note:

1. You need an active developer subscription with Apple ($99 / year). This would also mean as long as your app wants to be on the store, you need to renew every year.

2. Every time you submit the app to the store, it takes about a week (fast) to a couple of months (slow) for approvals

Hi Mark,

Not sure you understood my question; my idea is that there are frameworks (ionic[/url, [url=https://facebook.github.io/react-native/]React Native to name a few) out there that allow users to create hybrid apps by using JS, CSS, and HTML; being that you have a mobile tamplate I was wondering if it is possible to convert that to a "native" app using one of the frameworks?

Have a great weekend,
Chaim

Oh no, it's not possible to just "convert" it. These frameworks require you to use their own dom elements and it's pretty different.

@mark, thanks for the update.

You're welcome CK.

Hi Guys,

Now that 2.1 is in RC, can you please provide an update if this feature was further developed (if yes what is now included)?

Hey Chaim,

We don't have the full API yet but we are in discussion with Techjoomla as they want us to maintain the version of their JSON api which they have created for EasySocial.

Mark, Can you please elaborate a bit more on what you mean?

What my colleague mean is Techjoomla developer created their own JSON API which used to created for Easysocial.

Since our Easysocial JSON API is not implemented full API yet, so they want us to consider maintain the version of their JSON API.
