Feature request: JSON API

[pretzelhands]

Heya!

Today I have a little feature request, that I think might be cool to have: a JSON API Things that should be included would be:

• Jams that are currently in progress
• Jams that happen within x days/weeks/months
• Jams that ended x days/weeks/months ago

That's all I want. :)

Agreed! In fact the site could run using the same json api

I don't know that the site has a backend to give those kinds of features. It would be trivial to change the javascript client the site uses to allow other sites to get the same data.

Currently the whole thing is just static files, there is no server side logic. I wouldn't be opposed to having a little PHP script on the server though for dynamically slicing up the json files.

Is this for server side or client side access? If it's for client side I could convert the json files to jsonp and then write some helper javascript you can include on the page that loads the appropriate files.

@leafo I'm mostly about the client-side access!
