I am planning to write a javascript library as a wrapper over StackExchange API. Currently, every webapp using StackExchange api needs to compile the url and make a GET request (mostly by ajax) which is somewhat repetitive and can be avoided.

I have started ground level work. I have created repository and already have some helper code which I used in my StackExchange api based app - StackEye. Code is present on github.

Idea is if you need to get all the comments for a list of posts. You can call a method like a method like this:

SE.getCommentsOnPost(postList, { site: 'stackoverflow' }, function(commentList) {
  // Consume commentList
});

I just want to know the following

  • Is there any existing js sdk for stackexchange apis ?
  • Is it a fair idea to develop such library ?

Any suggestions would be welcome.

    As far as I know, you can write your own apis for stack exchange. Also, there is a auth sdk provided by the api team, and it's official Jan 11, 2016 at 8:07

    @UniquekekitteanateUnidoggy Yeah I have plans to include that sdk in our api as well. Essentially, my idea is to encapsulate that sdk with in proposed library and provide rich set of methods Jan 11, 2016 at 11:38
