I don't quite understand:

• POST /pattern?action=get - method is POST, action is GET and it's an export? How is it different to GET /pattern ?
• PUT /pattern/{id}/state - when would this be used?

[nikhan]

you POST an array of IDs -- this is for circumstances where you export a series of blocks without a root parent. I was thinking about offloading the operation that generates the copy JSON to the server, such that when you hit ctrl-c, it does this api call to recursively retrieve all JSON of selected blocks that does not require a root.

the second is if you want a store to have a specific value. so i can post my weights to a store or whatever.
