MyBB Community Forums

What would be really nice is if there was some sort of API that would allow me to do certain things within the forum via an external program.

For example, I may want to start a new thread each day in a specific forum with some sort of information, then add to it hourly, thus building up a daily archive. Since I am a perl programmer and not a php programmer, I can do what I want in perl, then having an API I could inject a new post getting the post number back, then using that number to update the post at a later date.

I know I can manipulate the database myself via PERL, and I know this could be a security concern also. But still, it'd be a nice option to have.

MyBB 2.0 will have an API. We will not be including an API before then though.

Nice to know except MyBB 2.0 may not even be released this year, or next year.

No, it will not. Most certainly not this year and probably not even next.

Until we include an official API system there are alternatives available that might suit your needs.
