REST API to access Part-DB starting with Part-DB 1.8

With the upcoming release of version 1.8 Part-DB will offer an REST API to access Part-DB data programmatically.
It allows reading and edit datastructures, parts and projects via an JSON based interface, so you can write your own software that interacts with Part-DB.
To access the API an application requires an API token, which is generated on the users settings page. API access is experimental and must be enabled on a per user/group basis with the correct permission.

See documentation for an introduction on how to use the API. In your Part-DB instance under the /api/ path you will find an interactive documentation, that shows you all available endpoints and allow you to try them out.

You can look up all available endpoints and available parameters in the demo: https://part-db.herokuapp.com/api
(you will need to login with username user and password user first)
