If it doesn't have an API, how do I still see posts from it in my feed? Do you mean it integrates with the fediverse, but only has a web interface for now (ie. no apps)?

[-] SeedyOne@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

The API is new but took time and effort, it just wasn't available at the time.

[-] tourist@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah, the latter. There is an API, but I think it was only released in the last month or so. I'm not sure to what extent it's complete.

A kbin instance can be downloaded as a PWA, and it works decent.

As for third party apps there's Lunar, iOS only. Haven't tried it.

There was also Artemis. It had the best UI/UX design I've ever seen. Unfortunately the dev appears to have vanished.

Before the API, I think they were web scraping.

That's definitely not true, they had an API back in September when I looked into adding support for it

They didn't have an sdk, but the API most certainly has been around for a while

[-] tourist@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

You're correct. I misunderstood. The API has indeed been around for a while.

The main instance (kbin.social) only started using it around a month ago: https://kbin.social/m/kbinDevlog/t/642285/kbin-RTR-19-Summary-of-current-work-and-plans-for-the

Apologies for the confusion.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 11 months ago

Ah... That I didn't know, I read through the documentation to see how hard it would be, but I never tried to use it

If that's true, I see your point... That's not nearly as bad as not having an API, but it's still a deal breaker
