I'm looking at adding support for steem to various webapps but PHP and a lot of common apps do NOT have support for websockets (natively and without plugins. I'm looking for something that will work on shared hosts).
Is there a functioning REST API for steem?
Help appreciated. Trying to give back to the community but I'm hitting a roadblock here. Without non-websocket API you can count out integration with most blogging platforms. It's just not a natural fit for websockets.
@fabien built one that is available free to the public :

I haven't found a REST api myself, I speculate that's because
steamdprovides an XML-RPC api, and while not impossible to create some kind of bridge, it would be a sort of pain to port everything over to CRUD, and you would likely be a bit disappointed by the inconsistency. That said, it's a great opportunity ;)Anyways... for Websockets with PHP check out http://socketo.me/
