What kind of API do you have in mind?
The gallery app provided a BETA state REST API: https://github.com/nextcloud/gallery/wiki/RESTful-API
Ah, well we have indeed the album & shared album entrypoints here. We could indeed create a proper api doc
Any specific project you would need this for? :)
I am considering to write an Android Gallery App in which Nextcloud is a first class citizen. Currently I am still evaluating if a new project is the best approach or if I can build upon something existing.

@skjnldsv @jancborchardt stabilized APIs could be useful to integrate with GNOME Photos as well. Nextcloud could be a first class citizen there :)
@skjnldsv may I suggest to version the API? Prefixing the API with /v1
will allow to ship a new /v2
API which breaks retro-compatbility if you ever need to, and deprecate the /v1
.
Then you can support /v1
and /v2
APIs concurrently during a year or so, before removing support for the /v1
API. This would both give clients some stability and time to adapt, and give you some flexibility to suit your needs.

All fine with me.
Yes versioned APIs if we want to expose them make a ton of sense :) Would probably need to be OCS for the albums stuff to make it work out of the box with clients.
@rullzer which should be the best way to authenticate against this API? Using the token granted with the Login Flow v2?
Do you mean like described in this issue : https://github.com/nextcloud/gallery/issues/63 ?

Like any ocs call, see documentation :) https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/configuration_user/instruction_set_for_users.html

@Hugo-Trentesaux This is a different matter. GNOME Photos is a desktop app to manage your photos. I don't want to "embed" a Nextcloud Photos widget. I'd rather access the actual photos, thumbnails, albums and metadata.
Like any ocs call, see documentation :)
@skjnldsv There probably is a misunderstanding here :)
The documentation you sent me is about user management. I don't want to add/remove or do anything with the users. I would like to know, as a third party completely outside of Nextcloud, what I should put in my Authorization
header so I can perform actions as an authenticated user.

No, we have a standard about apis in nextcloud: OCS. Reaching the OCS api is the same for every of our apps. Users management, apps management, sharing management... etc :)
Sorry, this link should explain a bit more in depth: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/developer_manual/client_apis/OCS/index.html
Pretty much what the title says. I was not able to find any issues or documentation about this topic.
In case there is non, is an API planned?
