Picking this up after a taking a break from it.

I'm hoping that I can get some kind of iOS app running alongside this. It would be a fun experiment.

Are you still working on this? I'd be very happy to contribute to this effort in some manner, as I'm planning on building a native mobile app around my phpBB installation and would like to build an API extension to enable that.

I plan to, however life gets in the way so it’ll be a slow burn right now. Hopefully in the coming weeks I’ll find some time to make meaningful updates.

I'm working on a a fork of this over at https://github.com/ClutchEngineering/phpbb-ext-api for the [removed]. If you wanna help out I'm all for it! I've got a very basic OAuth flow implemented, rate limiting, and authenticated endpoints. /users/me and /users/<username> are both implemented. Next up is forums list, then threads list, then posts list, and then posting (auth required).

It's been a hot minute but I've made some major changes to the extension. I've improved a lot of the code scaffolding and plan on spending some proper time working on this now. I know it's been a some time since I even looked at the repo... 😂

First port of call is getting the application passwords setup. Once that is done I'm going to move over to the routing of endpoints and once that is then done I can start to work on creating endpoints that people can actually use. Lots to do so I'll chip away at anything whenever I can.
