SUGGESTION Add working examples for ODK Aggregate API to docs

Description

Working with the ODK Aggregate API is really useful as it helps to automate recurring tasks. Some working examples of the most used API tasks would be great to have in the docs.

E.g., I'd love to see working examples in Python and R for the following tasks:

List all forms (/xformsList) to show at least name and downloadUrl in tabular format.
For one formID, list all form submissions (/view/submissionList). Handle pagination (GET parameter limit, opaque resumption cursor) recursively and merge chunks into one list of submission IDs.
For one formID and one submissionID, retrieve the submission and parse to a sane data structure (/view/downloadSubmission?). Possibly extract the common fields into separate columns (submission ID etc), parse media to a "name:url" dict (save as one extra column) and parse data into a dict column.

Examples in Python and R would be great. API wrapper packages (Python / R) would be even greater and a possible follow-up to working examples. A shared headache is to parse the XML from the ODK API to Python dicts or R tibbles, respectively.

Further wish list - not sure whether API endpoints exist:

create new ODK-A users, (re-)set passwords
import / export list of users

Answering my own question:

Add https://github.com/opendatakit/opendatakit/wiki/ODK-2.0-Synchronization-API-(RESTful) to the docs

Edit May 2020. My legacy code reading ODK Aggregate's OpenRosa API is here.

The new ODK Central offers a well-documented API with working examples. ruODK is an ODK Central API client in R.
