API for Bookmarks (enhancement) #373

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Bookmarks used to have an undocumented API which I've managed to 
reverse-engineer and documented here: 
http://code.google.com/p/gmarks-android/wiki/BookmarksAPI

However with the new Bookmarks UI update, it seems the JSON API is no longer 
used - there's little or no AJAX in the Bookmarks web interface now.  So this 
breaks GMarks for Android as well as a number of other third-party apps because 
we are all using screen scraping or other hack-ish means for accessing 
Bookmarks.  

Understandably this is not a 'java client' issue but I'm at a loss for where 
else to ask for help.  I wish I knew where to get the attention of the right 
folks at Google, but please *please* release a JSON API for Bookmarks.

Thanks in advance.
