Hello everyone. The world is moving so fast, Good CMS and CMF are supporting web-services to Create REST API endpoints. we are moving forward to support mobile apps and other services. Our lovely EE has only one commercial addon to do this. This makes our choices so limited.

lately, I felt lost and Lost hope to have reliable strong addon supporting this goal in EE.

Because of bad and week SUPPORT, I convinced this kind of addon can’t be run individually; Developing and covering A large number of clients Questions and supports.

In addition to that, Our arm has been twisted with a term like:

Technical Support Technical support is available primarily through the support email address support@***** and at ********.nl/support. *****.nl does not provide direct phone support. (((No representations or guarantees are made regarding the response time in which support questions are answered.)))

I think REST API should be a Native Module and supported by EllisLab like safe Cracker (Channel form), Or professional paid Addon like (ExpressoStore, CartThrob, Freeform Lite, Freeform Pro) supported and recommended by you EllisLab.

In fact, I am very frustrated Because I have only one option with no active SUPPORT with BAD poor documentation. While I am using EE as a backend for all of my Apps. This makes Re-consider using EE as a backend for my project, While I and my clients are in love with EE.

Any Support, opinions or HELP.

What types of endpoints are you creating that requires the use of an add-on? ExpressionEngine lets you control its output 100%, so you should be able to make your own endpoints with the native features. In fact, this is one of the reasons ExpressionEngine was built this way, to separate content from presentation.

Unfortunately, the information on this on the forums is old, unclear and sometimes somewhat contradictory. With the rise of Javascript frameworks, an API is a common feature these days - especially amongst front-end devs like myself who are comfy with older EEs but could use help integrating it into a modern workflow. Even folks who know more about APIs are asking for assistance, often falling on deaf ears.

Perhaps instead of questioning our needs, or driving us to other platforms where this isn’t an issue (WP, Craft) you could perhaps have someone there demonstrate how to create an API in EE, as one of your online videos, newsletter or blog post. Yes, not everyone will have the same level of experience reading it (hence, the need for a link to the forums to have the conversations there) but it’s a great way to show the power of EE and helping the wider community.

What replies of yours were deleted, UXspan? I also don’t think that healthy debate is a sign of not listening or of rejecting an idea.

Dear Derek Jones, With all of my respect your spam protection always fails, and because of spam replies you’ve deleted all replies even yours, should I bring an evidence from my Email notifications?

This post has more than 20 replies earlier and you have clear your opinion about it, “you are not open to this Idea and you are focusing on your client needs”.

speaking about spam please see this image:

Deleting spam posts doesn’t delete other posts. If there’s a bug and you have some example content that was inadvertently removed, please share it with us. Side note: “spam protection always fails”—all due respect, you only see the spam that makes it through filters and moderators. We are a high profile site and spammers regularly try to take advantage of our traffic. Some will get through, dealing with spam is an arms race that constantly goes back and forth.

For your screenshot, you can always hit the Report button when you notice spam. We tend to clean it out a couple times a day but especially on weekends we can’t always do it immediately. But ultimately, these forums are a community resource, and it’s a community effort to keep the dialog high quality and that includes moderating and reporting spammers.
