REST API / Webhooks

[SaadBazaz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A lot of open-source software have a REST API, and/or Webhooks. This allows developers to extend the functionality of the software by creating integrations/plugins, and allows them to sync information between multiple software.

I haven't found this feature in Frappe, which is probably the biggest thing holding me back from using it.

Describe the solution you'd like

REST API

• Docs (perhaps a Swagger/OpenAPI spec could be good enough for now)
• Token generation mechanism, and a revoking functionality.

Webhooks

• Add/remove a webhook(s)
• Choose the data to send on that webhook
• Give a data model (in docs, maybe?) for the webhook

Describe the alternatives you've considered

Kimai has a REST API which makes me more inclined to use it right now.

REST API is provided by the frappe framework for any doctype: https://frappeframework.com/docs/user/en/api/rest

Token based auth is also available. You can check the framework docs
