REST API

[artur-gajewski]

Implement RESTful API to read from the application as well as to post new updates to groups.

All interactions should have api key validation. Each users should have a unique api key (can be added to user entity?)

WIP in branch api: https://github.com/CoBase/cobase/tree/api

Feel free to assign the issue to youself if you want to continue on this. OAuth is already implemented, only the API part is to be added.

@wysow: Please write some information here as to what needs to be done to complete this issue, so if someone will pick up this issue they will know how to go on with it.

So so far the work done is:

• implemented https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSOAuthServerBundle like that:
  • 3rd party need to request access to user account "twitter style", so they get a token to be used in a bearer token for each request to the api, so we can know for each request which application is requesting on the behalf of which user.

Work to be done:

• write the api controllers based on https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSRestBundle with routes like /api/v1/object.json, a WIP is already done for /api/v1/posts.json. For me it's difficult to find the "right way" to use the rest bundle from FOS... :( So if someone has a "way to go" I will be glad to help ;)

If you have questions, feel free to ask ;)
