JSON API for search.

gcgc

Would implementing a JSON API for search add some value to Flarum? Something like GET /api/query:xxx and return the results in JSON format would suffice. This would open up more room for third-party integration.

Thanks!

Did you try the existing endpoints ? Open your browser console and check what happens when searching ?

The Flarum API follows json:api spec, and you can use it from outside Flarum with no issue.

Ah, sorry for missing that.

The flagrow/flarum-api-client is a good example of using the json api spec in combination with Flarum.
