I forgot to mention, that there is a variable "type" and by default it is CC which means it will be readable with textUtils.serialize() but you can do type=json and then it will return everything in json!
It will be a GET api, so basically an example:
I want to return a user with id of 1:
Input:?command=user&subcommand=get&id=1
Output:
{["id"]=1,["username"]="Vilsol",["email"]="vilsol2000@gmail.com",["admin"]=1,["mcusername"]="Vilsol",["rank"]=2,["applications"]={[1]={["id"]=2,["userid"]=1,["name"]="Another App",["icon"]="80 80 80 80 80 80 *80 80 80N80o80 80 *80 80I80c80o80n80 *80 80 80 80 80 80 *",["description"]="Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.",["shortdescription"]="",["views"]=0,["category"]="Misc",["date"]=1378456955,["version"]=1,["accepted"]=0,["totalrating"]=0,["ratingcount"]=0,["downloads"]=0},[2]={["id"]=5,["userid"]=1,["name"]="Void OS",["icon"]="80 80 80 80 80 80 *80 80 80N80o80 80 *80 80I80c80o80n80 *80 80 80 80 80 80 *",["description"]="Operating system that is trying to stretch out to every day people.",["shortdescription"]="Operating system that is trying to stretch out to every day people.",["views"]=0,["category"]="OS",["date"]=1378509352,["version"]=1.5,["accepted"]=0,["totalrating"]=21,["ratingcount"]=5,["downloads"]=0}}}
Now the same, but with JSON:
Input:?command=user&subcommand=get&id=1&type=json
Output:{"id":"1","username":"Vilsol","email":"vilsol2000@gmail.com","admin":"1","mcusername":"Vilsol","rank":"2","applications":[{"id":"2","userid":"1","name":"Another App","icon":"80 80 80 80 80 80 *80 80 80N80o80 80 *80 80I80c80o80n80 *80 80 80 80 80 80 *","description":"Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.","shortdescription":"","views":"0","category":"Misc","date":"1378456955","version":"1","accepted":"0","totalrating":"0","ratingcount":"0","downloads":"0"},{"id":"5","userid":"1","name":"Void OS","icon":"80 80 80 80 80 80 *80 80 80N80o80 80 *80 80I80c80o80n80 *80 80 80 80 80 80 *","description":"Operating system that is trying to stretch out to every day people.","shortdescription":"Operating system that is trying to stretch out to every day people.","views":"0","category":"OS","date":"1378509352","version":"1.5","accepted":"0","totalrating":"21","ratingcount":"5","downloads":"0"}]}
Now an example if I am searching for an application:
Input:?command=application&subcommand=search&name=pear
Output:{[1]={["id"]=1,["userid"]=2,["name"]="PearOS",["icon"]="00 00 00 8f 00 00 *00 00 8f 00 00 00 *00 8f 8f 8f 00 00 *08P08e08a08r08O08S*",["description"]="In short, PearOS is a graphical 'OS' for ComputerCraft.

So, this is my answer to that problem.",["shortdescription"]="This is a but redundant, people won't want to enter it twice and will probably just copy and paste, but I'll ask that on the forums.",["views"]=0,["category"]="OS",["date"]=1378455254,["version"]=2,["accepted"]=0,["totalrating"]=9,["ratingcount"]=2,["downloads"]=0}}
Now if you searched for something that doesn't exist or wasn't found:
{["error"]=16,["message"]="Nothing has been found!"}
Also, if you do a function and it shouldn't give out any information like computer install command it would return like this:
{["success"]=1,["message"]="Successfully installed!"}
But you don't have to worry about making your own api for computers, because store will be giving an API which would work like this:
doRequest(command, subcommand, values)
