API wishlist?

[momijizukamori]

So my workplace gives us a chance twice a year to work on anything we want for a few days, work-related or otherwise, and I thought I'd use some of my time to actually get the new API into a state where we can make it live. With that in mind! What endpoints would you like to see implemented? We're making this Swagger/OpenAPI-compliant, so everything takes JSON as arguments and return JSON formatted data. Stuff already on the list to do or partially done:

/api/v1/users/{username} - GET, shows info about the user (specific info TBD; subset of profile, probably?)
/api/v1/users/{username}/icons - GET, lists icons
/api/v1/users/{username}/icons/{iconid} - GET, returns icon data
/api/v1/users/{username}/journals - GET, returns list of journals with write access.
-- for now, returns only user's primary journal
/api/v1/journals/{username}/accesslists - GET, list of access lists for journal
/api/v1/journals/{username}/tags - GET, list of tags for journal
/api/v1/journals/{username}/xpostaccounts - GET list of xpost accounts
/api/v1/moods - GET list of moods
/api/v1/commentsettings - GET list of allowed comment settings
/api/v1/journals/{username}/entries - POST new entry, GET list of recent entries
/api/v1/journals/{username}/entries/{id} - POST edit entry, GET specific entry
/api/v1/journals/{username}/files - POST new file
/api/v1/spec - GET, returns a description of the API

(Mark and D, as usual, get the final say - some stuff people want may end up being security/privacy risks in non-obvious ways)

This is a good starting point--a very data-driven API. Thanks for doing this! I also get some days like that, and should figure out if this could count.

A second level down might also be nice:
given (auth, user, tag), get a list of entries
given (auth, user, accesslist), get a list of entries.
given (auth, user, entry), get previous or next entries.
Auth here is the identity to query using, since the results of those matter based on who you are.

Some more queries I find myself doing manually that might be nice to have a simpler way to do:

1. Translating between date and entries, in both directions. (It's one-to-many, of course.) Even cooler would be "get entries between START and END", but that's fancier.
2. Something regarding polls. Probably the ability to map entry to poll ID, then querying by poll ID to get poll results/status. (I put a poll in almost every entry, but I am...not typical.)
