REST API design

    Hi. I do need to implement a native APP, and at this point, I’ve already understood I need to develop myself the REST API for that. So I am fighting with that (taking into account I am new to WP, BP and have PHP in a corner of my mind). My starting point, apart from reading all the documentation, is the official repo pointed above. I’ve been doing some small modifications. Now, I am trying to get the activity of a group (I mean filtering the stream to get just the posts and nested comments/replies related to one group). So now I need to start making some decisions concerning the REST design. I would rather do things as similar to the official path as possible (if possible). So after this long intro, my first question: is there anywhere any kind of design for the endpoints? I am thinking if the activity item should link the replies or everything should go in the collection. Thanks.

    Designing endpoints is perhaps the major issue for this API and the subject of much discussion.

    I would encourage you to use the Issues tab on the repo:
    https://github.com/buddypress/BP-REST

    There is also a BuddyPress Slack channel. From the repo readme:
    Weekly BP REST API dev chat are held on Wednesdays at 22:00 UTC in WordPress Slack channel #buddypress
