A co-worker and I stumbled across the following …

[http://computingwithoutboundaries.blogspot.com/2011/02/web-services-and-ignition.html](http://computingwithoutboundaries.blogspot.com/2011/02/web-services-and-ignition.html)

… and we’re wondering what the current development status of this module was? We feel it’d be a perfect fit with an upcoming project we’ve got.

Thanks!

Just wanted to say I’d kill for a REST API like the one that Pachube uses ([http://pachube.com/docs/](http://pachube.com/docs/)).

The web services module does exist, but hasn’t been touched in a little bit. That’s not at all to say it’s not going anywhere- we were actually just talking about it last week. We see great potential in it. It’s just that we haven’t focused on making it market-ready yet.

In the next few months we should be able to get it to a point where interested parties (like yourself) should be able to get access to it if desired, and then get it to a sellable point several months after that.

Also, the idea of a REST API has definitely come up, and is something that we think would make a great add-in module. If nothing else, exposing tag values could be very useful.

Regards,

Great, thanks for the reply. I look forward to hearing about this module’s progress, this one is definitely staying on my radar.
